We went for dinner last night after seeing a friend post online about the place. With a 5:30pm…read morereservation, we were the only people in the entire restaurant. This worried us a little at first. The cocktails were amazing and relatively inexpensive. Nice beer selection too. We started with appetizers and salads and they were excellent. I ordered the fillet for my entrée and it was absolute perfection. One of the best I have ever had, and I'm a big Mahogany/Morton's/Ruth's Chris fan. Service was impeccable (of course we were the only people there). Atmosphere was fantastic with multiple chic booth seating areas that make the dining experience comfortable and private, but also several more open small table options and a beautiful bar. The location and parking is going to be a challenge for them. The Goldies that used to occupy that building experienced similar issues with parking because the lot is terribly designed. There is also a visibility issue because of the way the building is "tucked" under the level of the roadway. Best to park on the North side of the building and avoid the tight angles in front. We will be back, probably frequently, and with friends. It's a great atmosphere with great food and service.

Long and rambling post so be prepared. Remember that a three is OK. While Palace Rooms has glimpses…read moreof greatness, it was just OK when we were there. I'll start with the pluses. The decore and vibe are excellent. It's retro without being kitschy. It's a cool location (downtown B'ville). The fried mushrooms were maybe the best I've head (rivaling by far Hideaway's). My aperol spritz was delicious. The manager was great! We have been to Lollipops a couple of times in Tulsa and are intrigued about the Palace Rooms and the speakeasy and how they were going to fit all of this into the old Goldies. They just opened these two concepts in Tulsa and we figured they would be swamped this weekend so we decided to roadtrip to B'ville. I got the impression from the Tulsa media stories that they recommended reservations so I did that for the Bartlesville Palace Rooms. (It's pretty simple to do on their website.) They do not have a host at the door and there was just a sign that said seat yourself. Since we had a reservation and I didn't want to screw up their system, we checked in with the bartender. "Oh yeah, we've got a couple of reservations. Just grab whatever reserved spot you want." No one ever asked what the name was. We did grab a cozy booth area (couch, a couple of chairs and a coffee table). Great area for having cocktails. Not so much for dining. We sat for a while without service and then went to the bar to order drinks. Bartender said they would be delivered. We literally watched our drinks walk by our table a couple of times before the server checked back in with the bartender to see where they were supposed to go. She then grabbed us menus. That was all. Finally, the manager came by to see if we needed anything. We said we wanted to order an app and she took our order. While I didn't think the wait for the mushrooms was that long, the staff seemed to think it was. Another server came over to let us know it would be about four more minutes. Then the manager delivered our food and apologized. Again, the mushrooms were excellent! We decided that we would go dine elsewhere. It was honestly for a couple of reasons---I didn't want to eat off a coffee table (and we totally could have moved b/c they weren't that busy). And, I really didn't want to spoil the OK-ness of our experience here. (I really want to love this place.) We asked for the check and the manager, still our main server, was really perplexed. She wanted feedback and sat down with us in our booth. She shared a few things on how they were working kinks out. Totally personable and I would revisit just because she took the time to find out what we thought. Final thoughts: great vibe, probably a great cocktail place, menu looked interesting, if you want to dine, grab a table. I feel like if we had sat at the bar we might have stayed. Manager was excellent and is really trying to make this a stellar experience. Honestly, if it had not been for her, we probably would have walked out after our drinks.

It was absolutely amazing. I was extremely surprised to hear that he himself is from New Orleans! I'm one lucky girl to be able to celebrate my birthday at this restaurant. The best part of it all was it had Cajun food and I use to live in Louisiana. My hubby had steak for dinner but I had this amazing gumbo with a rice ball along with boudin balls as an appetizer. Every bite was heaven. The little bit of spice in the gumbo was amazing and reminded me of Louisiana and how much I miss it, the people and the food. The chef out did himself on dinner tonight. Man I will definitely have to come back again when you have Cajun food. It's my absolute favorite. Thank you chef for an amazing birthday dinner. I am happy to say that my hubby even loved the boudin balls. I should have ordered boudin balls and gumbo to go for a later time

It's a cool, neat place with a bar area in the middle with seating around. We were quickly greeted and our server was prompt. He gave recommendations that definitely helped us on our decision. Wife had the meatloaf, very flavorful, hearty portion of meat served with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes. Definitely a must try. I had the roast beef, mashed potatoes with brown gravy and fresh sautéed green beans. The roast beef was tender, flavorful and the meal was plenty for the price. Highly recommend this plate. If we're ever in the area, we definitely coming back. Tremendous!!

We were seated upstairs and I really got the vibe that this restaurant could have been in Taos, Red River, or Crested Butte. It's vintage and retro but elevated a bit (if that makes sense). We ordered immediately and I asked about the Pesto Bowl (which was a special). Was told it used to be on the menu about 6 years ago and they were thinking about bringing it back. It was pesto, pasta and veggies but you could add a protein for no extra cost. I just went with the plain bowl (no protein). The Hubs ordered the Steak Dianne ("A throwback to the 1960s"). Thought that was a cool entree to feature. It came with charred (in a good way) Brussel sprouts and delicious mashed potatoes underneath the steak and mushrooms. My basil bowl was pretty good too. The pesto had a great flavor and the veggies were just cooked perfectly--still crisp and not mushy. Only negative was that there was a lot of liquid in the bottom of my bowl. Again, I would return here.

Also note, the food did not come with any utensils, so if you need those, you'll have to ask. The servers were getting slammed with big groups right at 11:30am on a Saturday, but they were very attentive and the order did not take long to be handed off to me.
