Date Night Eats in Tulsa, OK

[Both Tacos 1,827]

Will be at a conference with my wife next month on Valentine's Day weekend. Never been to Tulsa, so looking for suggestions on a place to make reservations for a date night. Doesn't need to be a fancy-smancy place, just somewhere that has good food and atmosphere.

I did come across this place that seems interesting and has good reviews. Caribbean inspired - https://www.sisserousrestaurant.com/

Been a long time....but the Wild Fork in Utica Square was nice, but not too over the top.  Every soup we ever had there was amazing.

My buddy said "anywhere on Brookside."

I'm sure they have a Cracker Barrel there.

Actually....downtown, near the Federal courthouse, they have a joint simply called "Coney Island."

I had a week long pretrial hearing there many moons ago....and I had this for lunch EVERY.  SINGLE.  DAY.

It was actually pretty damned good.

Had a salad for dinner at the hotel each night, though (the same hotel that the damned train ran by making a godawful racket in the middle of the night, every night).  Gotta create some balance in the force.

You should totally take her there -- it's a downtown Tulsa tradition.

I'm sure those Chili dogs would make for an interesting "after dinner date" night.

I've only been to Tulsa once and went to the hot dog place as well.  Pretty cool.

If she ain't woman enough to handle you after a 3 chili dog dinner, she don't deserve ya.  That's what I say.

I'm fond of any of these four, for a more intimate dinner:

Yes, it's good.  This place is in the neighborhood, and pretty nifty as well:

Jamil's Steakhouse is an experience.  Been around since 1945.  Best Steakhouse in Tulsa.

Grandparents lived in Tulsa and we spend plenty of time there.  Jamil's was the goto nice restaurant.  If I were in Tulsa right now, the one place I would eat is Coney Island, though.

It's been 15 years, but we used to stay at Hotel Ambassador on drives through, and I don't really recall finding much better in town than The Chalkboard (ground floor/basement).

Smoke is a solid steakhouse. Juniper was a

Nice upscale place the one time I went there.

There’s a nice place in the Brady district called amelias or something. It’s really good and has great drinks.

Ended up going here as that is what the little woman wanted. Both of us had a fish dish and shared the Lobster Thermidor as an appetizer. Nice Caribbean spices and atmosphere.
Lunch today was Coney I-Lander as the original Coney Island is closed on Sundays. The dogs and frito pie were great.
