What a thoughtful and well executed menu. We tried a bit of everything, but if you even kinda-like Brussels sprouts, the Brussels Caesar was the clear winner of the evening. Everything else was varying degrees of delicious, but hands down this is the dish to get every time.Everyone was friendly, the atmosphere is very intimate and I will most certainly be going back to try more of the menu.Only ding on the experience was how little the server really knew about the menu, asked about a dish's ingredients and guy was pretty well clueless. He was very nice but just expected a bit more polish from a restaurant of this caliber.Certainly still a 5 star review, he may have just be a new employee. In any event, what a neat little gem of a restaurant and honestly felt like the prices were a great value for the taste and execution the kitchen sends out.

My work came here for a group dinner. I heard there was lots of prep involved in committing to a dinner for 16 people. We were instructed that there is a parking garage on the west-facing side of the building on Oklahoma Ave, so we found it, drove in, and found parking with no problem. Remember to ask for the code to get out when you leave.Walk to the elevators and go up to floor 1. There is signage that will take you to the hostess stand, where they walked us to our table. We were in a corner of the restaurant that was pretty secluded from the rest of the venue, meaning you couldn't see any other guests. It included a huge TV screen that simulated a fireplace. The staff, Chloe and (I think) Kayla were very kind and accommodating to us all night. They took out drink orders and instructed us that the bar around the corner held all of our hors d'oeuvres (pre-decided by our point of contact). The best one was the smoked mac & cheese bites. The bruschetta was pretty tasty. I personally didn't enjoy the fried green tomato bites but half of my colleagues did. We were provided with a limited menu and before placing our order, the waitress announced a change, one additional entree and one dessert replaced. I ordered a caesar salad, the veggie scampi, and the spice cake. The caesar salad was alright; they served it with a long, almost stringy type of lettuce I didn't enjoy. Not lots of flavor there nor did it make it easy to eat.My husband had a butternut squash soup that he enjoyed, but I did not. It was rather nutty, haha, but honestly, it was more of a bisque than a soup. I did not enjoy my veggie scampi. It was described as a white wine sauce with veggies, but the sauce was odd. Each time I took a bite - you know that feeling in the back of your tongue when you eat a sour patch kid? - those taste buds fired off. I can still feel it now as I type this, two days later. I tried to get acclimated to it but it kept getting worse. I do not recommend this dish. Thank the Lord that my husband ordered the English beef ribs and he was kind enough to allow me a few bites. Those ribs were delicious. The downside is that the menu advertised the dish as coming with four hush puppies and each rib dish I saw only had two. That was disappointing only because the hush puppies were so good. My colleagues loved their salmon dishes and the coconut curry dishes. I just had a bad luck night with my dishes. The great news is that I was able to finish the night with a super good spice cake. The cake alone was dense which is why I assume it's served with vanilla ice cream. Very decadent and enjoyable. Looking at the rest of their menu online, I am unsure if I would like to come back. If I do, I'm playing it safe and getting those ribs again!

Always great food! The servers are kind and responsive and with great recommendations. Located in the heart of downtown, the restaurant itself is beautiful and welcoming. My top picks were the lamb chops, macaroni, chicken lollipops and porkbelly. Highly recommend this spot for Happy Hour.

Here's the thing: this place is fine for OKC. It does try to give a twist on typical menu items, but I don't feel it hits the mark as well as it could. I don't think this place would survive being in the heart of a bigger city, but it works here. While it feels fancy, it also has room to be casual. Service is standard, especially since I was here at 6pm on a Tuesday, so only once other customer was there. The vida on the rocks drink is quite the sweet drink. The mango puree stands out the most. Make sure you lick the ancho rim to get the full effect. Not as complex as I would have hoped, but still an enjoyable drink. The mushroom dish should have been labeled as bruschetta, because it would have been more specific. When hummus was mentioned as an ingredient, I wasn't sure whether this was going to be mushroom embedded in hummus. The bruschetta was good, but a little more simple than I thought It would be. I do think they used just the right amount of goat cheese for each piece of bread. The bread was not crispy, and at some points, soggy like baguette French toast. I was ok with the overall experience of this dish, but it's not a huge wow factor. The pork belly was pretty good! Granted, I personally would have preferred a more seared/crunchy exterior to the pork belly, but it was still tasty. The apples were the most surprising factor, as they were super crisp and full of flavor, as of plucked from a tree. The red pepper was a nice touch. The mango puree did stand out a little too much, but I preferred to have more than less. The excess puree was the only thing I left on the plate.

Came here for a Christmas dinner and it was so nice! It took place in their private dining room, we had our own bartender and they created a menu that we could choose from. The servers were very kind. The restaurant is gorgeous, definitely new, clean and crisp on the inside. My favorite items were the tomahawk steak, the mac and cheese and vegetables paired with it were exquisite! I also LOVED the Mexican firing squad drink, delicious! The food coming out was a bit slow but I think it was mostly due to how large our party was. I definitely plan to return because I've heard their happy hour is great!

Service and food were both amazing. Parking garage was a little trickier than I expected but it was Galentine's Day.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant so did for our monthly dinner with friends. The drinks were good and the beet salad was delicious. I arrived early enough so could park out front but friends parked in the connected garage. My favorite was the Mac and cheese balls.

Return visit. Loved our last experience here (for dinner and apps--it was a totally five star visit)! Our biggest disappointment is that they've discontinue their happy hour (which we specifically went for). We each dropped about $30 bucks a piece on one drink and and an app a piece.Still love those burgundy mushrooms and the mac and cheese bites were better this time. The shrimp and grits bites were good but one of our party did not like the sauce. At. All.Jerked chicken lollipops had a good kick.Please take the happy hour specials off your website though.

I had a very similar experience as another patron for New Years Eve, the service was slow, we had reservations however, didn't have to wait too long. The bar was staff challenged and I assume the kitchen was too as I couldn't see in the back and the hostess did her best. The drinks were mediocre. Come to think about it, the entire restaurant was staff challenged for a holiday. In particular our waitress was disengaged. Overall the place was clean. All of our appetizers were great. All of our food was tasty with the exception of the salmon. The salmon was a weird soupy couscous dish. Not at all what I expected. One individual in my party had the steak, which she loved and my boyfriend had the lavender chicken which I highly recommend. I would absolutely return but maybe not on a busy night. Oh and I did notice once the owner arrive there was some pace and intensity with the staff. Integrity and good help is hard to come by these days.

Great Service & Delicious Jerk ChickenBlack Walnut has a creative menu that offers some standout dishes. The highlight of my meal was definitely the jerk chicken appetizer--perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat and depth of flavor. It was easily the star of the night. I also had the glazed chicken.Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was great.
