Farmbar

What an amazing culinary experience. I found myself in Tulsa on Thursday night and was able to get a seat at Farm Bar and partake in their 5-course prix fixe dinner. Every course was fantastic. Highlights for me were the duck perogi and the Romanesco. Such a treat!!

I wasn't really sure what to expect as some of the negative reviews were quite harsh. Glad to report that all is good and well at Farmbar! We went early at 5pm and had the counter service for the chef's fixe tasting menu (6 courses). Luckily, I added the wine pairing. All I can say is, "WOW!" The service was above and beyond - professional, personable and so informative - from the hostess to wait staff to the chefs. The meal was lovely. Yes, small portions, as it is only a tasting, but we left quite satiated. My husband and I alternated between favorites so I can't necessarily recommend nor dismiss any of the courses. However the "in house" items were some of the favs. I highly recommend the wine pairing as it can often, as in this case, elevated the course to another whole level. Solid nod to the sommelier as the wine was such an unexpected treat - choices I would have never thought to make for myself. I am sure there are hits and misses over time, but the ambience and overall experience was so pleasant, I MUST recommend.As foodies coming from PDX, we have been spoiled, but also pleasantly surprised by OK fare and Farmbar is now top of our list. It will be our new "go to" for guests or another special nights out. Well done. Thank you. We will be back!

My boyfriend and I rang in the new year here and had an amazing time. We love to experience local farm-to-table restaurants as well as delicious tasting menus, and FarmBar definitely delivered on both! The food itself was delicious and clearly very fresh, but overall the ingredients and their combinations felt very safe, resulting in the least experimental tasting menu experience I've had the privilege to try. Some of the earlier courses were very filling as well, and I felt very full around the third or fourth of ten courses, and I was unable to finish a few courses in the later half. That's saying something because I'm usually a bottomless pit. These points are all probably positive things for many people, but takes the rating down a notch for me.When booking your reservation, you have the option to sit at the "bar"/countertop overlooking the kitchen, in the indoor dining room, or the outdoor patio. "Bar" is in quotation marks because even though "bar" is in the name of the restaurant, they don't actually have a full bar- alcohol options are pretty much limited to the cocktails, beers, or wines they specifically have listed on the menu.If you are a party of 2 and choose the indoor dining room, you will get seated at a four top table with a couple of strangers. We weren't prepared for that at first and were initially taken aback, but ended up forming a wonderful bond with the people we were seated with for dinner. The intimate atmosphere of the restaurant and the natural conversation pieces of the tasting menu really helped grease our socializing gears. Not sure if this is the case when sitting outside though, since it was too cold to seat anyone on the patio when I went. Highly recommend this restaurant for the social aspect alone; between this, the amazing service, and the intimate atmosphere, the tasting experience was so unique.

Our special occasion dinner experience here really deserves the coveted 6th star. The team at Farmbar exceeded our expectations around every corner. Yes, it was the most expensive meal I've had in the last 10 years, maybe ever, but the Farmbar team really rose to the occasion and knocked it out of the park. The food was spectacular. Unexpected layers of flavors and delightful pairings. It's obvious that the food is made with love. The menu is all locally sourced ingredients which of course means it is seasonal and ever changing. The chefs in the kitchen really impressed us. Each plate was so well crafted and seemed so intentional.I wish I had a better camera. There were times as the evening progressed that in the cozy lighting my photos were just bad as I tried to capture the delicate details of our plates. The intimate dining room transformed as day turned into night. The coziness of the space enveloped us as we traveled along one of the most special culinary experiences of our lives. The team behind this dinner program from the chefs, to the local producers, to the hospitality team-everyone does their part and goes the extra mile and that was evident to us. Every special detail was a surprise and truly made the evening one of the best we've ever had. I highly recommend a special occasion dinner at Farmbar. If you know a foodie in your life, get them a Farmbar gift card! August 2024

There's a reason why Lisa continues to be nominated for James Beard awards - she knows how to make damn good . We recently ate here with some friends recently, and we had the tasting menu. It was scrumptious! Probably the best thing on the menu was their duck pierogi - I wish I got to eat 10 of them because one was not enough. For four people to eat (plus tip and ordering one drink each) the meal cost about $500 - which in my opinion, it was worth it. The service was excellent. Our food was phenomenal. We love this place! Zach the chef killed it!!

I was surprised with a birthday dinner at Farmbar and was blown away. They had a Happy Birthday card at our table and the dessert came with a lit candle. We were tended to by all of the servers throughout dinner - they were attentive and they taught us a lot about our meals and where they were sourced. We ordered the Prix Fixe dinner, one vegetarian. And, wow! There seemed to be a common theme between each course, we were impressed with their creativity. We found everything delicious and we were licking our plates after each item. The ambiance was an elevated and intimate vibe. It wasn't loud and we were very comfortable. This experience will go in the memory books!

In case you haven't yet had the opportunity to enjoy it for yourself, FarmBar serves dishes created using ingredients from Oklahoma farms, in an intimate setting, in the heart of SOBO. From their pop-up menus (hello Burger Night), to their a la carte menu, to their multi-course tasting menu dinners, FarmBar has something different and delicious every Tuesday through Saturday night. Our personal favorite is getting a seat at the Chef's Counter where you can watch all the action and interact with the entire restaurant team. (And you might even get some fun stories about the source of the ingredients.) What we tried: Pickle Martini Old Fashioned Country Bird Bakery Sourdough with Sweet Cream Butter Cantaloupe Gazpacho with Basil Flowers and Pecans Roast Tomato with Eggplant Custard, Garlic Crisp, and Breadcrumbs Goat Cheese Ravioli with Fried Rosemary and Sunflower Seed Gremolata Petit Banger with Ballymeloe Relish, Silky Leeks, and Cabbage Black Forest Bombe with Candied Sandplums, Chocolate, and Ice Cream

We have friends that rave about the Burger night on Tuesdays at Farmbar, and we finally got to try it. We had 6:45 reservations and had the perfect table right in the front by the coolest dog art. The restaurant is very pretty inside and has great outdoor seating too. It was definitely an upscale burger night experience with so many delicious flavors. The pimento cheeseburger was wonderful. I enjoyed the bulgogi burger, but the pimento cheese one was king. The roasted sweet potato appetizer was delicious. That goat cheese was so good. And the miso sundae dessert was best bite of the night. We will definitely be back! Our friends said they did a blue cheese burger on a different night that we have to try if they do it again. I want to try the 10 course dinner they do too!

My first experience at this establishment was actually years ago at their farm in Depew. Both of the times that I went to those dinners my expectations were exceeded. This restaurant is no different. The ambience the staff and the meals are above and beyond what most Tulsa restaurants can offer.for our large table was brought out on time and those with food challenges had great alternatives. If you want to go to a homegrown restaurant and a fine dining setting with progressive meals this is the place to go downtown.

Burger night on Tuesday is a must. Absolutely amazing food from only the freshest ingredients made by people who love what they do. Beautiful.
