I sat at the bar and made direct eye contact with the bartender — she looked away. I called the other bartender over and asked for a menu, which was handed to me with attitude. I sat there waiting to ask for a simple glass of water, completely ignored. Then a group walked in and was immediately greeted with smiles, water, and menus without even asking. I asked one question about the menu and was met with more attitude. At that point, I just got up and left. Super disappointing experience, especially when others were clearly treated better.

Wow wow wow! What a TREAT! My husband and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary here this weekend and it was incredible. David, our waiter, along with the bar staff were so kind, professional, attentive, and overall had us leaving absolutely cared for! Everything we ate was seasoned and cooked to perfection; we had no problem choosing our entire meal thanks to David’s thorough introduction! What you see- Lemon Drop (I had two) shaken to perfection, of course the hand cut bacon, caesar salad that was incredibly light and refreshing- not a cream base here! A vinegar based dressing that was Devine!, followed by the 8oz filet, Brussels loaded with fixings, potatoes Egan and creamed spinach. Not pictured was a giant slice (not sure Alice is the correct word- perhaps quarter!) of their chocolate cake that was so rich and a wonderful way to end our evening. Truly and evening to remember!

Wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here. Everything from the food to atmosphere to the service are like nothing we have ever experienced. We shared a table steak, Caesar salad, a slice of bacon and each got drinks. The old fashioned is by far the best cocktail i've ever had. I think we just found our new favorite restaurant in Tulsa!

Overall experience was 3.5/5. The food was really good, but the service was quite lacking. Our cocktails took over 25 minutes to come to our table. The power went out and we ate mostly in the dark. A waiter/host was loud and talking about his political opinions. Our waiter was mostly inattentive and we had to remind him that we still needed things. The assistants were great and attentive with the service, so we often utilized them. The cake was large but not impressive. The cake was tastier than a supermarket cake, but obviously that's not the bar they should be trying to clear-- it should be wowing. The steaks were wowing. The cocktails were great. My partner and I came for our anniversary and it did not feel special except for the steaks and the memories of the power being out. At the end, we felt trapped and we joked about being held hostage because all we wanted to do was pay the bill and leave, but we were just ignored. We don't need amazing food if the service isn't there to support it. We're not sure if we'll be back. Probably not.

So we had a bit of an odd experience. The building houses several businesses, and one of them caught fire, so we were evacuated. We waited outside for about an hour. Just before we were evacuated. I had received a salad and a Bloody Mary. When we came back in, the salad was room temp and no longer crispy, and my drink was watered down. I assumed we would be offered new drinks or salads, but nothing was offered, and no discounts were offered. The fire was not their fault, but we were told that the guy that owns this restaurant owns the building. So, in essence, there is some responsibility there. For the amount of money I am paying for drinks and a salad, I think they could have taken a hit on replacing those items. The food is great, but if you have been here, you know you are dropping a few hundred dollars. If you are going to ask very high prices, the service needs to be top notch. As for updates, I felt that the room was too dark. I get the need for ambiance, but it felt like the bat cave.

My partner and I visited Bull in The Alley for a birthday dinner and, while the night started on a confusing note, it turned out to be a memorable experience.
We had made a 7:30 PM reservation over a week in advance, but when we arrived, we were told there was no reservation under our name—though they did have my partner’s name on file. It was frustrating and a bit upsetting, especially since we had planned the evening well ahead. Thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in, albeit with a 9:30 time constraint. While the mix-up and time limitation were disappointing, the team made an effort to turn things around.
The staff, especially (I believe) the manager, went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even serving us two complimentary mocktails after we mentioned being under 21. This thoughtful gesture was much appreciated and helped ease the initial tension.
The ambiance was magical, thanks in part to the incredible pianist who graciously played “Happy Birthday” at my request. It was such a special moment!
As for the food—wow. We started with the shrimp cocktail, which was fresh and flavorful. Then, we split the thick-cut bacon we had heard so much about, and it absolutely lived up to the hype—so smoky and tender. For our main course, we shared a table steak paired with the lobster mac and cheese. Everything was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor.
We finished the evening with their signature layered chocolate cake. I’m not usually a dessert person, but this cake was out of this world—the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had, hands down.
Despite the rocky start, the incredible food, excellent service, and thoughtful touches made for a truly memorable evening. Thank you, Bull in The Alley, for turning a bumpy beginning into a great birthday celebration! We’ll definitely be back—next time, we’ll double-check our reservation!
