Okay, I finally tried Cheever's after seeing it recommended so many times, and honestly... I get…read morethe hype. I went with a friend for lunch, and the whole place had such a cute, cozy vibe. It feels a little upscale but not in a way that makes you feel underdressed if you show up in jeans. The staff was super sweet, and our server made great recommendations. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and it was SO good. The portion was huge, and the gravy was chef's kiss. Also, can we talk about the bread for a second? Because I would genuinely go back just for that. I kept telling myself "one more piece" and then suddenly half the basket was gone. The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wait for our food felt a little longer than expected. Nothing crazy, but by the time it arrived, we were definitely checking the kitchen door every few minutes lol. Other than that, everything was great. The food was comforting, the atmosphere was nice, and it felt like one of those places that's perfect for catching up with friends or taking your parents when they're in town. Definitely adding this to my list of favorite OKC spots. Next mission: trying the brunch because everyone keeps talking about it.

The best part of the meal was the sticky toffee pudding dessert with vanilla ice cream, but it was overpriced at $10 for one dessert. Despite being nicely decorated inside since it gave fancy hotel vibes and friendly staff, I probably won't come back due to mediocre food for its price.

The kind of place that knows exactly what it is. The hospitality was exceptional. The host made me feel genuinely welcomed, and my server was knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about the chef and the menu. Not a rehearsed performance, real enthusiasm. That's rare. I ordered the chef's signature: sea bass with black rice. The fish was perfectly executed, delicate, flaky, with a sear that gave the skin just the right amount of texture. The black rice was earthy and dramatic, the ideal counterpoint. Every element on that plate had a reason to be there. Some restaurants impress you. This one made me feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Come for the sea bass. You'll be back for everything else. 10/10 -- Return without hesitation.

For the price they were charging, I was expecting the food to taste better than it did. They charged $7 for a prawn that was just a regular shrimp. I ordered them grilled but it came out burnt. Just not enjoyable. We wanted to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday so we brought our own cake, but we were surprised with a cake cutting fee regardless if we or they cut it. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience from top to bottom. But I will say that my server tried his best to make it a better experience.

The burrito bowl was delicious. The kitchen took the time to elevate my request into a beautiful looking plate. I would have been totally happy if it was just slapped in a bowl.

It was cold outside but warm and welcoming inside the restaurant and we were seated in a big comfy booth which I appreciated. We were immediately given water and drink orders taken. I got the juicy couture from the y2k menu which was a delicious sweet gin cocktail. The cornbread sticks and whipped butter they bring to the table is soft and salty and sweet and went great with our queso appetizer and my entree. For apps we chose the queso fundido and the tuna tartare. Both came with fresh chips that were puffy and perfectly crispy. I loved the tuna, it had a little bit of everything. Spice, salt, tang, creaminess! That luscious whipped avocado it sits on top of kept everything stuck together and easy to scoop up. The crispy queso was huge so I took the rest home. The cheese pulls were insane! Our table ordered the short rib, the filet, and the shrimp and grits entrees and everyone was so satisfied! My short rib was rich and tender and the red wine sauce was glossy goodness. Plus the gratin potatoes with the crispy edges and tons of cheese made the dish so comforting. Finally they brought me a chocolate cheesecake with a candle in it that reminded me of my mom's homemade fudge. It was divine and just melted in my mouth. Everything was excellent! Highly recommend and I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. FRIDA southwest thank you for starting off my next year with an outstanding meal and a very pleasant experience!

Just don't go here…read more I've lived here for 5 years and by far the worst restaurant experience I have had in Oklahoma, and if you see my other reviews I'm pretty forgiving and tend to give spots the benefit of the doubt. This is a place worth an absolute flaming of a review.... But they already wasted enough of my time and energy today so I'll just summarize. No management on scene, no hostess, one server, two bartenders and a restaurant at 50% capacity on Mother's Day at 1 p.m. From walking in to having our orders taken, 30 minutes. 45 minutes later our order of roasted vegetable salad, steak eggs Benedict, and sourdough toast arrived. Salad was very well burnt but my mom was trying to be nice and didn't want to walk out. Eggs Benedict came out with two eggs boiled through, a hollandaise sauce with a sour smell and cold steak. I didn't eat it and no one seemed to notice, had it removed from my bill easy enough, but again zero F's given and no management showed daylight. Wife's toast actually arrived 5 minutes after the 'rest' of the food and the only thing hot and delicious. Toast here is $11, so there's that. No one cares here. From the health violations and poor food safety I saw in the kitchen, the multiple tables I witnessed sending back food to the multiple parties puzzled as to why they weren't being sat or once they were entirely ignored... it was so wildly bad I was embarrassed for everyone else having the same experience. Again, don't go.

I was delighted to find out that our hotel was only 2 miles from this highly acclaimed restaurant. Upon entering, I immediately felt the welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the host. The inside is lovely, modern and well laid out. It's perfect for date night or hanging with friends. The host chatted with us, explained the restaurant concept, and answered all my questions. We got the Baked Chèvre for our appetizer. It was layered with flavor and a most delicious and perfect bite for a cold evening. My entree was the Rainbow Trout. The fish had crispy skin and was moist, flaky, and well seasoned. The broad bean mixture served with it was equally delicious. The hubby had Honey Roasted Lavender Chicken which he declared to be one of the best chicken dishes he's ever had. He even raved over the vegetables that came with it. Of course I also had to try dessert. I loved my warm spice cake with a scoop of ice cream and swirls of buttery caramel rum sauce. The cake was so moist and paired perfectly with the sauce and ice cream. Our wait staff was friendly and professional. I forgot to jot down names so I could give them a shout out. Excellent staff is always a part of an excellent dining experience. This was just a delightful experience. The host even gave us the name of some nearby live music venues that we enjoyed later that evening. We will certainly return here the next time we are in OKC. If you are ever in the city, make a reservation and stop by for a fabulous experience.
