Walking in, it was dimly lit & it reminded me of a bar Downtown in Tulsa. We found a table (the place got filled up pretty quick afterwards) caddy corner to the bar & we got help quick. My partner ordered the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, a friend of mine ordered some Truffle Fries & a drink that I didn't catch - as for me, I got the Ginger Beer (I don't drink). The Oaxacan Old Fashioned looked nice with the orange peel climbing out of the glass & had a really good aroma (I took a big whiff of it). The ginger beer was a spicy ginger beer & it was really good. With every sip, it was opening up my nostrils, it had some spice to it for sure. I tried my friend's Truffle Fries & it's something I'd order, especially if I wasn't as hungry & wanted a "snack". You can smell the truffle while the taste was real subtle. All in all, the place was chill. It was a nice wind down from leaving an art show & The Collective (I had no clue it turned into a clubbish scene on a Saturday... they were jammin' that night). My friend was a regular there, the individual who served us was super nice & friendly. There was whole menu to explore full of sandwiches, burgers (I want to try the South West Burger along with the Umami Burger) & all kind of other dishes to choose from. As much as I come down to OKC, I still get familiar with the scene more & more - R&J is added to the list of places that I'd return to. Side Note: A friend of my friend stopped by right before my partner & I left. She ordered the Brussel Sprouts and Bacon & in my head, I dove into her plate before she could.

I did not ask about a booster however. Our server gave us the rundown of the dishes and the popular ones and the portion sizes so we were aware. We ordered a variety of dishes and it came out fairly quickly. Pancake fritter: it's Dutch pancake style so the kids weren't really into it but it was delicious with the berries and the lemon curd for the adults! Chicken and waffle: the chicken was crispy and I thought slightly too dry but the kids loved it with the waffle which was really fluffy! Kids breakfast platter: straightforward dish with scrambled eggs, half of a waffle, some bacon. Breakfast sandwich: they piled on the ham so I thought it was a tad too salty but flavor and texture wise very good. Eggs Benedict: we opted for the smoked salmon and I highly recommend! Eggs poached perfectly and their hollandaise sauce was sooooo good. Quiche Lorraine: this was the star. It stood out because they added caramelized onions I think. It was the best quiche Lorraine I've ever had and I've had my fair share! Overall, the brunch is a solid choice and the price was very reasonable. I plan to come again. Also if you get too full you can go to trader Joe across the parking lot and walk it off :)

So we decided to seat ourselves. The upstairs was very crowded. James was great at taking care of us. He's really sweet and helpful at the menu and answered every question we had. I asked what they are known for and he said probably their salted caramel espresso martini. (I had looked at photos prior to coming and had to try it) so I ordered one of those while my cousin stuck with bloody Mary's. I also ordered-TWISTED CITRUS Rosemary-citrus syrup, butterfly-pea infused gin, orange juice, seltzer As well as the only food item we had- the cast iron cookie sundae This place has been around for 7 years and has a few sister restaurants in the area. I really wish we would have had food here and not just drinks. Because the place smelled incredible and had a nice menu. Especially the pasta The atmosphere is nice. It's very clean, I'd say it's modern but yet hipster. I'd call it an upscale bar. And again, the place smelled amazing lol James did hand me a little menu with things that are limited time only. So they do change things up and add things here and there They do feature happy hour including a bartenders choice which they will surprise you. Monday - Friday 4-6 (trust the bartenders choice if it's James lol) there was another man behind the bar who was very friendly but unfortunately I do not remember getting his name. All the staff here deserved beyond 5 stars. The manager was even there who is extremely YOUNG yet she's running the place like a PRO. Somebody needs to give, Alyssa an award for that Honestly, the prices are extremely reasonable as well. I was VERY surprised by that. It truly was the best espresso martini I've ever had. And thank you to James for not only having everything taste good, but LOOK good too. James and Alyssa will take care of you (and the rest of the great staff) 5 stars for ambiance 5 stars for service 5 stars for the drinks

All I wanted was a massive mountain of meaty, breaded wings to celebrate another year of aging, so we had to scramble and ended up stumbling back into Bar Cicchetti. Let me save you some heartbreak right out of the gate: do not order their wings. Seriously, they are hot garbage. That being said, don't write this spot off entirely. If you stick to the small plates, you'll walk away happy. Past visits with friends proved their full entrees can be a bit of a hit or miss, but tonight the kitchen was completely locked in. Go ahead and load up the table with the pork short ribs, potato skins, and pork buns. And for the absolute coup de grâce, get the main short rib--you can thank me later. Our server was fine. Friendly enough. When the food hits this hard, I can forgive a lot.

I've never been to a place with a bar that was reservations only. Heard they had a good old fashioned selection by a friend but I don't think we will come back because of this experience. There wasn't anyone watching the door as we entered and we were about to sit down to order a drink. There were quite a few tables open so that was a little frustrating but mostly because of the bar situation. I'm assuming this was an issue because of sushi neko seating in the lobby bar. Doesn't seem like the best use of the area because I assumed the Lobby Bar was the Lobby Bar and Sushi Neko was Sushi Neko but I guess not. Definitely didn't make us feel welcomed. Will not come back again.

Drinks were good however they came out after the food which was quite odd. However for a group that big, they split checks and got it all right! The food was also very good-- elevated Mexican I'd say and inexpensive. I had the Puebla which was a hard taco, standard although soggy from sitting next to the chicken enchilada which was great and then the chili rellano which was incredible. Spicy, cheesy, amazing! I did think the refried beans were odd tasting which was surprising but still so much food for $13 that I didn't mind. Lastly they had a nice complimentary birthday churros celebration which was lovely. Drinks a little faster gets this five stars!

Cons: - Wait service was a bit slow, especially considering that they weren't very busy. But, once our order was placed, it arrived pretty quickly. - The chips they brought out with the salsa were stale. We ordered the choriqueso and more chips as a appetizer, and the 2nd batch of chips were stale too. - About the choriqueso, it was pretty bland. I've definitely had better. - I had to ask for salt since there was none on the table, and the salt shaker I was given was sticky on the outside...ew. Overall I give it 3/5. Not terrible, but not somewhere I have any burning desire to return to, especially considering the embarrassment of riches we have in this town for great Tex-Mex/Mexican food.
