first off, our server was fantastic; very knowledgable of both the menu and the extensive wine list. i like to try new wines and she suggested one based on our taste. she nailed it. the manager was extremely friendly and, upon learning of my friend's and my background in the industry, offered to show us around the restaurant. the steak was good. they have several different crusts and sauces to choose from and despite my instinct, i "customized" my steak. i should have stuck with my gut because no matter how good the crust or sauce is, nothing beats the taste of a well-cooked, quality steak. i appreciate the idea and recognize that appeals to a lot of people but for me, it took away from the steak. the butternut squash risotto was a little sweeter than i expected and i'm not really into that for a side, but it was well-made. in fact, the only well-made risotto i've tasted in an oklahoma restaurant. the slivered asparagus was perfectly cooked and seasoned. great dining experience. a little pricier than similar minimalist concepts elsewhere but the quality of food and excellent attention and service made it excusable for a nice evening out.
