We came from Washington state to visit my wife’s family and were lucky enough to have dinner at this extraordinary restaurant! Everything from the outstanding service to the delicious food. We were very impressed and considered it a privilege to have been able to come here.

I met my friend for her birthday celebration. The service was top notch, when our food arrived it was by a team that "swept" the table and served us at the same time! The clam chowder is better than you can find in New England. The crab risotto is rich and creamy and wonderful.

This was our 1st experience at Bodeans. We were taking our in-laws out for a birthday dinner. There's a lot of hype about this restaurant, so we were excited to go. The excitement faded pretty much upon arrival. It was not good and extremely expensive so we won't be back.1st - The actual building is lackluster. We went on a rainy Friday night, and trying to find the front door was frustrating. The building has its name on it along the roofs edge, but the door to the actual restaurant is blacked out. There are no potted plants or benches outside of it, no arrows, no managers name, no welcome - come on in signage. Nothing...so we questioned if it was even the correct door. We went into the meat market to confirm it was.2nd- we had reservations but didn't need them. Inside, the restaurant is very dated. From the decor to the staffs uniforms, even the menu. A hostess with zero personality escorted us to our booth and fled. Our server arrived with rolled up sleeves, and she looked haggard. She was welcoming but wasn't super personable. Like she was just doing her job. Bare minimum. She didn't offer much in options of food dishes when asked, and to me, the menu was limited. We ordered drinks. I am a huge Margarita fan. No margaritas were on the menu. The server says we have a full bar - no problem. Both my husband and I order a margarita while my in-laws get wine. Hands down the worst margarita I have ever had. I didn't finish it. Took two sips to confirm that the first sip wasn't a mistake. My husband didn't finish either, and the server noticed but never said anything. Never asked how we liked it, never tried to offer something else, noticing our glasses were still full. Because we were there with my family, we weren't going to make a stink about anything, so we didn't ruin a birthday. Otherwise, I would have spoken up.3rd- We ordered fried calamari appetizers. We talked about this choice with the server as we couldn't decide between that and another option. She promised no chewy calamari....we got chewy calamari. Same sinario, she notices we haven't really touched the calamari, doesn't ask how it was, and just moves on.4th- dinner options & sides, to me, were very limited. Again, when asking about food, our server really didn't share much. My husband was not a fan of his meal AT ALL. His plate was barely touched. Mine was just okay. I don't know if my in-laws actually liked their food or if they were just being nice. Regardless, the server didn't really express any interest in making our over $300 dining experience any better than at a Red Lobster (which I can say would have been a far better meal). I understand having an off night but this was bizarre. Despite our less than stellar experience, the food could have saved it enough to give it another try. But that was probably the most disappointing part.I would never recommend this restaurant.

This used to be a restaurant where you could count on friendly service, and well prepared food, especially fish. The food is still well prepared and the staff tries hard, but they work in unfortunate circumstances. The management seems to have intimidated the staff and so the atmosphere is no longer conducive to relaxation and after all, why do we go to restaurants? Not only for the food, but to escape to a warm and welcoming environment. This no longer exists at this restaurant.

We went tonight for my significant others birthday and the host immediately greeted us as we came in with a kind smile and asked for reservation name. (Highly recommended)As we were brought to our table we sat for awhile before being greeted. We ordered the king salmon , 2 crab cakes, mushrooms and lobster bisque.The crab cakes and lobster bisque was amazing. Would come back for those.The salmon was nothing special and they took off the skin on the bottom which I thought was odd. The cheesy mushrooms were disgusting and tasted sour/like onions.Our service from our server was kind of lacking in the fact of checking back and just kind of disappearing for awhile and drinks went empty. She also didn’t ask if we were celebrating anything. So that was a slight bummer.They took off the mushrooms which was nice and we didn’t have to ask. And gave us a free cute coffee nut cake.The atmosphere is dark and felt almost like a cave. Very cozy and intimate. There was cool glass art work that seemed to be from a local artist or at least looked similar.

One of the top restaurants in the Tulsa metro area for both the chef's expertly cooked food and the atmosphere. The prices are about double compared to a nice date night place e.g. Red Rock Canyon or Charleston's. For a special night, this is a very good choice.You will probably want to make reservations. It was about half full on a late Tuesday night for us.

I brought my girlfriend here last night to celebrate her birthday. The service was amazing, they were attentive without being obtrusive. She had the Jumbo Sea Scallops and I had the Chilean Sea Bass, both dishes were excellently prepared. We are looking forward to the next special occasion that brings us back to Bodeans.
