    Low on my list of restaurants to try, I have avoided McGill's because of its ratings. The restaurant has received some harsh reviews, earning a 3.4 rating on Yelp and 4.3 on Google. Not a stellar rating for a restaurant desiring to project an upscale, sophisticated, fine dining experience. An in-depth look at the reviews revealed a lot of bitchin' from Google reviewers that were charged a $3 empty plate fee. Many patrons brought birthday cake into the restaurant expecting to use the restaurant's waitstaff and dishwashing service for free. I side with the restaurant on this issue. They tie up tables, and use the services. A charge is reasonable. On the Yelp side, older dated reviews complain of food quality and service, which drug the rating down. Most recent reviews on Google are very positive. McGill's for lunch today. 12 noon, the restaurant was half empty. Greeting us, the host questioned if we had reservations. Fortunately, they were able to squeeze us in. Quickly escorted to a booth. The upscale atmosphere: decor, lighting, and ambiance, made a positive impression. Within seconds Katie, one of the smartly dressed wait staff was at our table, greeting us, delivering menus and taking our drink orders. The service was excellent throughout the meal. House salad and French onion soup for me. A California Cob for my wife. Had to try the deviled Eggs. All good. The lunch menu offers a variety that should satisfy anyone. The service is fast. Try lunch. My only complaint was the strong fish odor emanating from the kitchen, invading the dining room. An unpleasant aroma that doesn't complement fine dining.

    This is the first time at McGill's. The restaurant is later out very nice and has a very cozy atmosphere. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable when we asked about the special of the day and helpful in making our selection. The calamari was a perfect start with Cajun dip. I had the Pasta Lobster, which was good, but it was swimming is sauce. The flavors were good though. My wife had the Prime Rib which was excellent, cooked to perfection. Overall, a good experience. We will be back.

    New York strip with baked potato and veggies

    Hadn't been to McGill's in some years and decided to go try them out again. I was able to reserve my seat on a Saturday evening at 7:45 with hardly any issues. The restaurant was clean, we were greeted and seated promptly upon arriving. Through the entire stay, we were treated well with great service. I ended up ordering the bone in rib-eye with a loaded baked potato and my date ordered NY strip with the vegetables. Both of our steaks were cooked per our request and had a great flavor that was juicy and prepared just right. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend their business anytime with reasonable prices.

    We had our first experience at Mcgills for our 12 year anniversary and it was very pleasant. We were told happy anniversary from the host which was nice. Our waiter was also very observant and nice. He kept our table clean and didn't over do it so we could enjoy our dinner together. The food was delicious and my husbands steak was so rare just like he likes it!! I might have ate more of his steak then my chicken! The carrot cake was also very good! The dim lighting and soft music was very enjoyable for our special occasion. Overall, a great dinner!

    Spinach salad with added chicken
    DIANA T.

    Had an amazing experience here with a friend. We shared a spinach salad with chicken added (+ $6). It was drenched with a vinaigrette dressing that was perfectly made to taste where it wasn't too oily or too much vinaigrette. The added chicken... They were definitely not skimp on it. We also had the calamari. It was perfectly lightly battered and fried crispily. The dipping sauce was just right but not really needed because it was that good. So good that my friend who is a picky eater, ate it with me. We ended our unexpected luncheon with a creme brulee. Not too sweet, perfectly seared on top, and just right. Ms. Ashley was an excellent server who gave us the best customer service. She went above and beyond and just made our experience so pleasant. Thank you.

    French Onion Soup

    I always love coming here for lunch or dinner they also have a happy hour in the bar from 5 to 7 where their appetizers are all half off. It's always a good meal if you want great steak but also there's salmon and other foods are really good. They have a lobster pasta I can also recommend.

    Prime Rib of Beef (dinner portion)
    Eileen S.

    Will not order fish here. I did not like both the orange roughy and trout almondine. Both dishes taste kind of sweet, and the Orange roughy is a little fishy. I couldn't eat the skin of the trout. The prime rib and ribeye were the safer choice, but they could taste better for how much they cost. ($39 and $38 respectively)

    Deviled eggs
    Jason B.

    9 of us met here for dinner after my grandfathers funeral last night. It was nice that they put us in the private room so all of us could chat freely. Staff were extremely nice and prompt when taking orders and keeping drinks filled. I would even go at far to say that they were some of the best we have had in a long time. We ordered 3 orders of the deviled eggs they were awesome. Salads were pretty good as well. I ordered the prime rib but was disappointed in the fact that over half of it was fat. The flavor profile was decent. My wife ordered the ribeye & I should've gone that route for sure. Overall I think everyone was happy with the dinner I just wish my prime was better

    I have made it my mission to test every steak in Tulsa, and I cannot let A5 slide. I know A5 is all about the fat, and I had never had one as a rib eye before so I wanted to try it. It was good! Around $250 (I believe), and it is a treat. I would not purchase it again, but it was worth the try as all A5 is. The Firecracker Chicken is incredible! I do not recall all the ingredients, but I would order it as a meal or even make the trip to McGill's just for it. Loved it! Service staff is quite friendly, and everything was done in a timely fashion. The ambience of it is not my favorite, but it is still quite nice. This is a wonderful date night restaurant or just a go-to for good apps and drinks.

    My husband and I often have lunch at McGill's. I almost always order the 1/2 Club and cup of French Onion Soup. After seeing and tasting my husband's Ahi Salad (yes, it's a good as it looks :) I know next time I'll be ordering that! We always love McGill's!

    Shrimp cocktail. Ahi tuna. Broccoli.

    So I came here as the steakhouse across the street was on a long wait. I am so glad they were!!!! The food here was more delicious than over there. So fresh and so tasty. I ordered two apps and a side, along with dessert and coffee. The shrimp cocktail and ahi tuna was so fresh and perfect!! The dessert was the carrot cake, was big enough for two, and it was served WARM!!! OMG!! I will definitely be back!!! Shannon was my server and she was such a doll. Ask for her if you decide to dine here, you can thank me later!!

    Filet was with broccoli and baked potato (fixin's on the side)

The way the Brookside diner prepares chicken fried chicken is outstanding. I got a large piece of chicken that filled my plate. It was also thick. Some diners pound thin pieces of chicken to the point it's so thin that it is overdone in the time it takes to get the breading crisp. Not Brookside. They produce a perfect chicken fried chicken, nice and crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. I noticed a chalk board listing the specials. The day we were there, it was meatloaf. I also noticed some tempting deserts which I plan to get when I don't eat such a large meal. I enjoyed my experience at the Brookside Diner. Looking forward to our next visit.

It was served steaming with a steak knife on the side, which told me it had been microwaved to heat it up. A warm cinnamon roll is hard to beat, but one that has been overheated is a challenge to cut and chew (remember the steak knife?). I'd prefer to have it cold rather than too hot.

We went on a Thursday afternoon at 4:00, so we didn't expect it to be busy. There were a few people there but not a bunch. We were promptly greeted by the hostess and shown to a booth. Our waitress brought our menus and silverware right behind the hostess. She asked if we knew what we wanted to drink and I ordered Decaf Coffee. My wife deferred to later once she knew what she was going to eat. The coffee arrived a few minutes later and I placed my order for the Belgian Waffle, 2 eggs scrambled, Hash Browns, and 2 Sausage Links. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and a side of biscuits and gravy and regular coffee. First before I forget, I am somewhat of a portly fellow. I carry about 70 pounds more than my doctor likes, and it's all right above my belt. Remember that the hostess put us in a booth, which usually is a challenge for me, because of my extra tire that I carry. But I was pleasantly surprised that this booth was spacious. It had plenty of room for us extra large folks without trying to move the table. The coffee, was good. Remember that I drink decaf coffee, so when I say it was good, thats saying a lot. I even asked the waitress if she had forgotten and brought me regular coffee and she assured me it was decaf. When the food arrived, I was so impressed by how good it looked, I forgot to take a photo, so the attached photo shows what was left when I was full. The waffle was the main thing I was after. I love waffles, and it's hard to find a good waffle. The menu claims they are Belgian Waffles, and I cannot disagree. They tasted like the Belgian Waffles I had in Paris, so I believe they are. The has browns normally don't rate a mention, but these hash browns were soft and not crunchy, and tasted like I expected hash browns to taste, from the first bite to the last. The eggs were scrambled well, which I would have preferred loose, but that's my fault for not specifying. I also ordered link sausage which was cooked as it should be. Next time I'll order bacon. The reason I avoided the bacon is that most places either burn it or leave it partially raw. Based on how the rest of my meal was cooked, I expect the bacon will be cooked right. I'm looking forward to my next visit already.
