    Braised short ribs
    Shawna S.

    Such a lovely experience! We dined here on a Saturday night prior to a downtown show. We had reservations and were seated immediately, with the dining room about 3/4 full, allowing for a quiet and beautiful dining experience. Our server, Keven, was attentive, courteous, and efficient. My wife had the Beef Wellington and I had the braised short ribs. The wine pairing suggested was lovely and the food was cooked perfectly to order. We highly recommend!

    This restaurant is in the bottom level of a hotel and there are two lots available for parking. You walk into the building and down 4 stairs to the restaurant level. We were seated quickly as they weren't too busy. The interior is really pretty and bright. It has a more upscale feel which is reflected in the lovely smelling bathroom and the nicer and heavier drinking classes that match the wall color. Our waitress was friendly and quick to offer recommendations, which I love. I ordered the American breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes, Gluten free toast and hollandaise sauce. They serve house made jelly (raspberry or blueberry) I got the raspberry and it was really good. The hollandaise sauce was decent but I didn't like it enough to want to go back to try the eggs Benedict. My breakfast was good though, I wouldn't mind coming back for lunch and trying some more menu items.

    Best Caesar salad in Tulsa. Those fried capers add such a pop. As you can see I get this to go because it's a nice stop on the way home from work. It will not disappoint.

    The Chalkboard Burger is my go-to for their brunch so it's no surprise that it was my top pick for dinner! The burrata caprese salad I had before was also fantastic. Fun fact: you can order a half of any salad on their menu! For my drink, I had a blood orange margarita that was really nice. The atmosphere and redone bar area is beautiful and perfect for a date night or night out with friends.

    I have eaten at the Chalkboard more times than I can count as you can tell by my many photos attached here. I used to come in for breakfast on Monday mornings before heading to the airport to fly out for work. I would stop in on weekends for the dinner sometimes as well. I LOVE the ambience of the restaurant. It has such a cozy vibe. The staff that works in the morning is consistently incredible, but almost every time I have visited in the evening I have had a negative experience. I wish this weren't the case because I am a little burned out from the breakfast menu items and would like to explore the dinner menu more. It would also be nice if they'd revamp the menu more often or at the very least add some specials. I have been meaning to write this review for a while but was always hesitant due to the food vs service experience. I recently dined here after driving from home an hour away to have the braised short rib (my favorite). I had made a reservation and once I was seated I had a waiter with a weird vibe. Almost, as if it pained him to speak to me. I glanced in my bag to grab my phone and realized I had forgotten my wallet at home in a different purse. I asked the hostess if I could use apple pay or else I'd have to leave. She assured me that it was fine and apply pay could be used. She then returned to tell me that the waiter told her that apple pay could not be used even though she had let me know other customers have been able to do so in the past. I felt very sighted because why would others be able to pay this way, but not myself? I had already figured that my evening experience would be negative based off of the past and the attitude that the waiter had when he arrived at my table. I was incredibly disappointed because of the long drive wasted and rude service. He saw me as I got up to leave and tried his hardest not to make eye contact. This used to be my favorite place to dine in Tulsa and I am very sad that probably won't ever visit here for dinner again. I suppose I could order to go, but I shouldn't have to compromise on my experience because of consistently poor service.

    We always enjoy a meal, brunch or dinner, at The Chalkboard. For this occasion, we made a dinner reservation at The Chalkboard as they offer shuttle service for some events at the BOK and we had concert tickets. All of the staff were so helpful and attentive! Our hostess got us all set up for the shuttle and our waiter made the best dinner recommendations, including ordering half salads that were plenty when paired with a shared app and dessert! If you haven't been to The Chalkboard in a while, be sure to stop in and see the "refreshment" they have given the interior or enjoy the covered porch with a retractable roof!

    We have visited The Chalkboard several times in the last 20+ years, and we are always so pleased. This time we were here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and, as usual, it did not disappoint. The restaurant has recently been remodeled, and the new decor is beautiful. It's elegant, dark, and romantic, and it adds to the overall dining experience. Tonight, Alicia was our server, and she was perfect! She was the best blend of attentive and respectful of our space. She was friendly and welcoming, and she was informative and knowledgeable about the food options. We started with an appetizer of lamb lollipops. They were breaded and fried to a perfect crisp. They were accompanied by a very flavorful and delicious slaw and 2 dipping sauce options. For the entrée, I had the 6oz filet with fondant potatoes and vegetables. The filet was lovely- cooked as requested with a delicious char. The potato was tender, and the veggies were perfect! So much flavor on a plate. My husband ordered the beef Wellington. It was also cooked to his requested temperature, and he said it was delicious. His meal came with asparagus and orzo which was incredible. For dessert we shared bread pudding. It was served warm with raspberry and white chocolate sauces as well as fresh blueberries and strawberries. It was served warm, and it was also very good. Overall, our experience was great! It was just what we hoped for to celebrate our special anniversary.

    I love chalkboard! I have been coming since before they changed owners & i used to love the quiche! Not sure if they still serve it up but also their salads are delicious! To my knowledge everything is locally sourced & its always a vibe! Dim lights help me relax even more. Today i got the soup of the day and decided to add chicken on the side! The chicken was so flavorful & moist & juicy. Always a fan of this place their breakfasts are healthy & food is of quality

    Passing thru Tulsa and needed a quick, good lunch. Jumped on Yelp and was led to the Chalkboard. Immediately walking in I thought it was very well decorated. It's in a hotel, so it definitely has hotel cafe vibes. I got the avocado toast and my companion got the French dip. The food was good, and came out quickly. Service was ok, but I definitely think she was new and confused so I didn't hold it against them. For what it was, it was good and I'd recommend if looking for a quick lunch.

    The Chalkboard Kitchen is a restaurant that should be exploding with exceptional reviews. If the food matched the ambiance, Google and Yelp would be forced by customer demand to add a star to the rating scale. There are in fact, many enticing 5 stars reviews on both the Yelp and Google platforms. But the negative reviews, describing mediocre dining experiences are too recurrent. Discerning diners expect perfection, when the restaurant is posh and they have to open their wallets wide, to buy a plate of food. The Chalkboard Kitchen has been on my to-try list for years. Today is the day. I had my mind set on a delicious Wedge Salad and a cup of soup. Wanting to eat a fairly simple meal today. Well, I am still hoping to find that delicious Wedge Salad someday, somewhere in Tulsa. The tomatoes had gone bad days ago. Limp mushy little red sacks. A pile of lettuce. The salad was not the crisp, fresh dense, sharp cut wedge I had imagined. Plenty of Blue Cheese crumbles and bacon didn't make up for the disappointing salad. Check the picture. The soup wasn't bad. An unusual cumin potato soup with a few cilantro or parsley leaves. My wife had the mild tasting crab cake burger with great fries. Decent, no complaints. My wife loved the comfortable, classy ambiance of the restaurant a lot. I agree it is one of the nicest that I have been in, in Tulsa. The décor created the ambiance. The pictures I posted describe the setting more accurately and efficiently than I can with words. The staff is friendly, personable and attentive. Good service. So, it is time to pay the bill. Where does that leave us?...... a mercy rating of 4 Stars. Yep, only because my wife would like to give The Chalkboard Kitchen a redo. Next time, with a large glass of wine... and for me, something other than a Wedge Salad!

    We had these cookies when they were doing pop-ups right before they opened this store front. We…read moreloved them and I remember a lot of varieties to choose from. When we stopped in today, there was the obligatory chocolate chip, a Carmelita (which IS delicious), a peanut butter cup and then some weird offerings like eclair (looked like a donut) and a super thick brookie. We got a four-pack with two choco chips, the Carmelita and the peanut butter cup. The first cookie we tried was the choco chip. I like a good chewy cookie but we both thought it was so thick it didn't get completely done. Good flavor. The Carmelita was good--so good we wish we had four of them in our pack. I got coconut, caramel bits (plus the drizzle) and chocolate chips. Maybe a little oatmeal too. Really good. If it's in the rotation, get it. The peanut butter cup was good but like the chocolate chip ones, was a bit underdone for my taste. Everything had great flavor though!

    Carrot Cake - This cookie was similar to taking a piece of actual carrot cake & molding it into a…read morecookie. The cream cheese frosting was a hit & I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't your average sized cookie, very big & I could've been satisfied with just ordering one cookie compared to two based on the size. Me being a carrot cake lover, this was an automatic to get & I'd get it again. Nutella Cinnaroll - I'm not a big Nutella person, this was more on the cinnaroll end due to my love for cinnamon (& cinnamon rolls for that matter). The Nutella & cinnamon roll combination complement each other very very well. Another cookie that's not the average sized & again, could've ordered alone without the order & would've been good. This would probably be the only time I try this one. The cookie flavors rotate every Friday, which gives me more than an excuse to come around & try Crave out over & over. Based off of the menu this moment, they favor chocolate lovers heavy. A spot to cure a sweet tooth before 9pm on Cherry Street.
