I ordered apricot iced tea, the vegan fried chicken sandwich, and pineapple upside-down cake. I don't normally like chicken sandwiches that much, but this was really good. And the highlight was getting to choose any of the salads on the menu as the side salad that comes with it. I had the hearts of palm salad with vegan cheese instead of the usual parmesan. It was delicious! I also got to try the cauliflower wings and a bite of the Korean BBQ tofu sandwich. I liked that sandwich too, but not as much. I do like the way they fried the tofu, but it seemed different than what was described on the menu. It seemed just deep fried, but not battered. My only complaint is the layout of the building and the lack of directional signage. I didn't park in the parking lot, so I didn't know to enter from the back and I ended up on a long confusing walk both outside and inside the building before I finally reached the dining room.

The sauce was fresh and depth wise, it was on the lighter side. I think I would have preferred slightly more cream. The pasta could have also been slightly more al-dente as well. Again, all these are by my personal preference. I definitely enjoyed the entree. If you are wondering about the chicken parm, they use shredded moots. IYKYK. I'm looking forward to come back to try the other dishes. This is in the conversation for the top 3 Italian restaurants in the area for me.

Salad and Go in Jenks hooked me up and made a fan out of me. The drive thru lanes were empty and service was friendly and fast! I ordered the Fajita Wrap w/ chicken (710 calories/$6.79) and a Cobb Salad w/ chicken but WITHOUT hard boiled egg (because... ewww ) (780 calories/ $6.79). The Fajita Wrap was massive. No, it was humongous. Some might say is was "transcendent", but I surely would not. The cold flour tortilla was stuffed full and literally bursting at the seams with chicken, lettuce, avocado, black beans, tomatoes, red peppers, poblano peppers, pico, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeño ranch dressing. I could only eat half and I'm already looking forward to devouring the second half tomorrow! The salad was pretty incredible. It was also pretty huge. The greens were a very fresh mix of romaine and mixed greens. There was plenty of cherry tomatoes, fresh avocado, real bacon, blue cheese crumbles, freshly diced chicken, and a packet with just the right amount of creamy blue cheese dressing. The salad was diced to just the right size. I didn't have to wrestle huge pieces into my pretty voluminous pie hole. Overall, the price was right, the quality was excellent, and the freshness was unexpectedly perfect. Not a single piece of wilted or slimy lettuce was found. When you're ready to give your arteries a little break, go check out Salad and Go!

It sounded good. I love pineapple and martinis. It was way too sweet for me. We ordered an eggplant dip that came with unusually delicious pita bread. They bring you pita bread no matter what you order. We also got chips with the dip. We loved the dip. The atmosphere was busy. They had a large crowds of people socializing. There's a garden area where people who like quiet dining can go when the weather is nice.

On Saturday my wife and I drove from Owasso to downtown Sand Springs to experience the much-lauded Little Venice -- and it exceeded every expectation. We were quickly seated at a cozy two-top with white tablecloths in a simple, elegant room. Soft piano set the mood and the owner, Candi Munaretto, stopped by to welcome us and make sure we were settled. We started with a bottle of white (Candi recommended it) and a Negroni for me. The bread arrived next -- extraordinary. Candi explained they bring it up from Dallas because "it's the best bread there is." A perfectly hard crust gave way to an airy, tender crumb with a faint sourdough aroma. The pianist took requests; his wild white hair and mustache could have belonged to a vintner from the hills of Italy. For our entrees my wife had the spicy lobster pasta and I had the lamb chops. The cold-water lobster was bright and expertly prepared, paired beautifully with house-made pasta cooked to perfect al dente. The sauce lightly coated each strand and delivered just enough heat to amplify the lobster's flavor. My lamb chops (four) were cooked to a perfect medium, frenched to the bone, and topped with a delicate mint jam. The roasted quartered potato and broiled Brussels sprouts were excellent companions. Then we shared a bread pudding, according the staff it would be the last of it until next year as they use a special "Christmas" bread. To say I cannot wait until next holiday season to enjoy this again is an understatement, but I will just suffer with the delicious Bananas Foster until then! Candi checked in throughout the evening and introduced us to the chef -- a remarkably talented young man in his mid-20s who trained at TCC and clearly has a passion for fine dining. Based on this meal, he's well on his way to cooking at the highest level. If you're looking for an intimate, fun dining experience with some of the best food you'll find locally, go see our friends at Little Venice. We'll be back often. #KeepItLocal #SupportSmallBusinesses #LittleVeniceSandSprings read more

It's lemony, moist, and has a little bit of char on the outside to take the flavors to the maximum. Nothing overwhelms though, and it's all subtle - lower case, not all caps. The salad was simple but tasty and a great complement to the rice and chicken. Prices are midrange- nothing too expensive. I used to go to Saffron when it was in East Tulsa and called Shish Kabobs. I loved it then and it's even better now, and much more of a complete restaurant experience rather than the startup it once was. I'll eat here as long as it's open for business.

The greedy part of me thought I shouldn't review this place because the food is so good I don't want the quality compromised by too much customer service but the food has literally compelled me to write this. Friday evening 6:30pm: the place doesn't have a single chair available, tabouli is sold out. Plan accordingly. The Mezza Platter & the Shish Kebab are winners! The tenderloin shish kebab was the best I've EVER had! The tzatziki cucumber yogurt dip was perfectly thick...not runny like other inferior restaurants. The cabbage roll was surprisingly pleasant. I liked the herb olive oil dizzle over the hummus and eggplant dip. I also enjoyed the subtle hint of charred eggplant in the background of the dip. The place is across from Natural Grocers so it's perfectly located for multiple shops and stops. Will I come back? Definitely! Honest review & not paid by anyone to write these words.

Ample serving of gyro meat, which made this a good value for the $....but... This is set up to get you food fast, so we're not talking cook to order. Gyro meat was precut off the spool and served out of a warmer, as we're all hot entree's. Steamed vegetables overdone, and in a pool of water on my styrofoam plate which is a big negative for me. Vegetable rice was ok, but IMO needed more vegetables and more flavor to set it apart. TZATZIKI sauce containers diminutive, ask for a couple. Lots of folks got chicken, which I don't eat, so it may have been great, I don't know. It was grilled on a stick and served out of warmers too. Staff was friendly, and although I came after the noon rush, everything seemed pretty clean. I was able to walk here, order, eat, and walk back to the office in 30 minutes without being rushed. Overall, 3-1/2, but I can't give that, so I have to round up. 4 stars for $value, 3 stars flavors, but with the understanding the food is served that way to serve quick, which is important for the lunch crowd.
