What People Are Saying
from Google"Came here for my birthday and wow… I was not disappointed! My husband and I usually feel like we can cook better at home than what we get when eating out, but this place blew us away. Every bite was amazing and the dessert? Absolute chef’s kiss. Can’t wait to come back! Also, my waitress was Nicole I believe that’s her name and she was phenomenal and knew exactly what to recommend to us based on what we like."
"Great service and good food in a nice location downtown. I don’t order an entree as I wanted to try a few of the other items on the menu instead. I opted for the mushroom soup and wedge salad as well as something the bar. The drinks were great. Well prepared and tasty. The soup was very good, especially with the French bread. My wedge salad was also good but I opted for the ranch dressing as I’m not a fan of blue cheese. I only knock the food on the lack of vegan and gluten free options for my wife. She ended up with a simple salad as there really were no other options on the menu. The others in our large party enjoyed their meals as well. EDIT: been back several times for lunch as I really enjoy those offerings. They are prepared well and the environment is a nice change from the pace of many places at lunch time. Again, the staff is top can’t be beat."
"First time here and it did not disappoint! We were greeted nicely and sat promptly right at our reservation time. My wife and I both had the French 75 which was good, shared the fried shrimp appetizer which is off menu and very tasty. For our main course we both had the mixed grill, it was quite good and a good choice to try a few items. The recommendation for wine pairing was delightful and the dessert was absolutely delicious. If you go here you have to get the bread pudding. Our ticket was over $300 after tip but it was worth it, the waiter was very friendly and we would definitely go back again!"
"It was a very special occasion and we did what we have never done before - drive four hours to Tulsa to try out the French Hen for dinner. The drive to Tulsa is always a delight in any season for those not familiar with this part of the country. Smooth roads, easy traffic and the friendly OK drivers make it a breeze. There is something to be said for having the temperament to not run amock on the roads causing chaos. While we were early, finding parking in downtown Tulsa turned out to be quite a challenge. So our advice - get a shared ride or do your research on how to pay for the public lots around the area. What we liked the most was when we called the restaurant to say we are on the road and we could not predict our arrival time exactly, they did not flinch, and instead said, we will take care of you when you get here. Now that gets high marks in my book for customer service. At the French hen we were happy to find ourselves in a location that was exciting yet not too noisy. Service was prompt. The Calamari for appetizers was just perfect. For the main course we tried out the Bouillabaisse. We had been intrigued by this dish ever since we watched "Whitstable Pearl" (now there's a nice British detective mystery series for you) and one of the characters tries to make this with an Irish twist. Seared Diver Scallops with pasta was a fantastic choice. It was every bit as delightful as our imagination foretold. The Prime Rib Eye Steak was good but it could have been great. Perhaps the sheer size of the meat was not suited to our sensitive palates. For dessert the Berry Crème Brûlée rocked. All in all a delightful place, good fare, excellent service and ambience and the location cannot be beat."
"I had a steak with a few drinks. The steak was cooked well and honestly was one of the best steaks I've had in a LONG time. My waiter ((Johan) forgive my spelling of his name). was very friendly and attentive but, not so much that it was annoying. The bartender was just as friendly and attentive. Also, he makes GOOD bloody marry! All bartenders know how to make the drink but, in my experience few can make it well and this bartender knows what he's doing. Overall, I highly recommend both the restaurant and bar! I will say the parking could be better. Parking is limited due to location. I had to park a couple of blocks from the French Hen but, it was worth the little bit of walking."
