This is a fantastic restaurant hidden away in the woods off of Highway 9. For those of us who live in NW OKC it's about a 45 minute drive but it's worth the effort. Make sure to check the OU sports schedule before reserving your spot. OU football, basketball, softball and baseball games will slow your trip to a crawl because of traffic. It's also a bed and breakfast so you can always plan a staycation and avoid the traffic altogether. We've eaten there twice in the last 30 days and I'll include pictures and dishes from both trips. I chose it for the destination of my birthday and none of the 8 guests complained about the drive but all raved about the food. Instead of discussing each and every dish in detail like I normally do (this review would take many pages) I can say without reservation that you simply cannot go wrong with any choice. The soups are silky smooth and packed with flavor. I had the mushroom soup as a special on a previous trip and the taste was from the ground fresh. It must have been made with fresh mushrooms and herbs. The soup on this particular night was a creamy tomato bisque that was velvety smooth and amazing. I've had the House Salad and Caesar Salad. Both are fantastic. The former is a wonderful combination of greens with a light champagne vinaigrette that pairs perfectly. A "simple" Caesar salad is difficult to make but they've got it right. On this occasion I had the filet mignon; juicy, tender and the perfect temperature. I've also had the chicken and pork dishes which were wonderful. My husband has had the salmon and lamb, so I've tasted them and found them to be very good. The rack of lamb has a reduction sauce that would make drywall palatable. On this night I had the chocolate tort while a few others chose the crème brûlée and bread pudding. Pictures are unable to convey the the chef's mastery. I can't find the receipt and can't remember our server's name, shame on me. She handled our table of nine as easily as if it were a table of two. Her skill made a difficult job look easy. Don't worry about the distance. Highway 9 is a well-paved, four-lane highway. The restaurant is only about four miles east of I-35 and is an easy drive. My only suggestion is to check the OU sports schedule. I can also recommend spending the night and enjoying a room.

I stayed in the B&B. Filthy. Bring cleaning supplies. Overpriced and over promised. This is not a 5 star luxury anything. It's at best, a motel 6 2.5 star at 5 star prices. Don't waste your money.

- Need a break from Campus Corner? - Looking for a restaurant that isn't all the way up in OKC but serves fine dining entrées that will make your mouth water?Whispering Pines was erected in the 1990s but has all the charm of a hotel built much earlier in the century. The location gives all the peace and quiet of being in the "middle of nowhere," but is just a few miles east of Norman. They offer exceptional touches like freshly baked bread, rich original soups, and homemade palate-cleansing sorbet between courses. A full bar of fine wines and spirits is also available to complete your dining experience. And, while you won't pay "OKC steakhouse" prices, you will receive a 5-star meal. Give it one try and you'll be hard pressed to find a better fine dining experience in Norman.

Quaint and so, so tasty. Started with the crab bisque and a house salad. Both were wonderful. I got the chicken and my husband got the filet. We both cleaned our plates and finished it off with a cream brûlée and took a chocolate cake home. We would definitely come back again. Natalee took great care of us! Our compliments to the chef! Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing evening out before our baby comes.

Went here for a special New Year's Eve dinner and it wasn't good. They put some type of nasty sauce/gravy on the steak and the lamb rack even though we told them not to. It gave me some pretty bad indigestion and won't be back. I won't be back and don't recommend it. The cottages are too dim, the ceiling fan has the lights removed. The toilet room looked like a club toilet it was so dim. I'm sure they're cheap and trying to cut cost but DAMN!!!!! I can't see very well in this place. The fridge didn't even have a light. Also ran out of hot water because we used the jacuzzi tub, therefore, COLD SHOWERS!!! If you're older and have vision problems don't come here.

I wanted to love this place: this is for the bed and breakfast I was disappointed. We arrived late and our room was so hot. It had a air conditioning unit in the wall but was not running at full capacity. The unit also made a weird noise that made it hard to sleep. The decor needs updating.

My husband booked online and requested someone to call him for a dinner reservation. No one called him. He said he called at least 15 times and left messages. He never got a return call. Finally, he got someone to answer and made the reservation. Reservations are required so he was very insistent on getting one for us.My husband booked us a night here for our 21st wedding anniversary. We live in Norman so this was suppose to be a relaxing stay-cation for us. We checked in. Got to our room, the Satin Suite, and every thing was set up as my husband requested. Champagne chilled, rose petals on the bed as well as flickering candles, chocolate cake in the mini fridge. We relaxed and talked before dinner. It was so nice...no dogs no teen daughter. We went down before our dinner reservation to get drinks at the bar. There was a wedding reception so it was very loud, we could barely talk. Luckily, after the wedding guest got drinks and food they went outside. The bartender was Jack of all trades, bartenders and waitress. She was attentive and did a good job with a good attitude. We ordered dinner, a steak and lamb. Both were really yummy. Very expensive, but yummy. After dinner we walked the grounds a little bit. It was hard to be have a romantic moment with all the wedding guests every where. There were many very young children running around. After walking around we went to our room to enjoy alone time. Which was very nice. However, when we went to go to bed the chaos came alive. Our room was above the bar, restaurant and kitchen. It was so loud. All the noise carried upstairs. Loud guests, barking dogs all night long. Clattering dishes. My husband went to bed around 10pm. I waited MUCH later for the noise to stop. I finally went to bed and the dogs wouldn't stop barking. The bed was so uncomfortable. My husband actually got up and slept on the sofa because he was so uncomfortable. The next morning we got up to leave. We were both so exhausted from a lack of sleep and my husbands back her so bad. We went to go check out and cancel our breakfast. I had to knock on the door to get someone's attention. She didn't seem to care that we were checking out and canceling breakfast. She said to leave the key on the counter and she would cancel the breakfast. I obviously bothered her. On the way home we were talking and my husband said he wanted to go home in the middle of the night. I said I did too, but I didn't want him to think I didn't appreciate all the effort he put into celebrating our anniversary.This place was recommended by one of my husbands friends who had a much better experience than we did. The place was nice until bedtime.

Another lovely anniversary meal at the best fine dining restaurant in Norman. Pork tenderloin and potato-crusted salmon both delicious. And the potato rose petal in the center of each plate was a cool touch. Good soft jazz in the background. Our server, Sarah, was attentive, friendly and helpful.

The food, ambiance, and service were amazing! It's off the beaten path enough that it's a great option for a peaceful meal after OU game day. We are definitely staying here next time. It's a lovely property and the service is incredibly attentive.
