Most Delicious, fresh Tea treats! Fresh flavorful sandwiches, scones, dainty tea pastries. Absolutely gorgeous room! Open Table statement of price is incorrect… they charged tax even though it states tax included.

About the restaurant

The Metro Wine Bar & Bistro has been at the cutting edge of food and wine in Oklahoma City for over thirty years. While always evolving and changing, the one constant at The Metro is the world-class food, service and a focus on fine wines paired with our wonderful cuisine.

Drop by for a glass of wine and an appetizer at the bar... or come to spend an evening of great dining. We can be as casual or as formal as the occasion demands.

We are open for dinner Monday through Saturday... and every weekday for lunch. We are open all afternoon on weekdays for a late lunch, early dinner or just wine & cocktails.

Sweet views. Didn’t know it was buffet style. Was expecting fine dining. Food was mid but service was amazing and drinks and dessert were great. Romantic. Would recommend going after sunset.

About the restaurant

Tellers serves authentic interpretations of regional Italian cuisine. Traditional methods of Italian cooking and the philosophy of using seasonal ingredients with integrity form the basis of the house made pastas, wood oven-baked Neapolitan pizzas, and locally sourced vegetables and steaks cooked over a wood burning grill. Tellers’ extensive Italian wine list highlights the breadth and diversity of Italy’s wine growing regions and unique varietals. Tellers is located in the historic First National Bank gallery amongst the original teller booths, which have been meticulously restored. The atmosphere at Tellers and The Great Hall embraces the building’s rich heritage as a convivial communal space.

*Please Note: Afternoon Tea Service reservations can be made via OpenTable Experiences on The Great Hall OpenTable page*

Great service, food was good, but sent an overcooked steak back, 2nd steak was the same. Didn't want to wait again. Some menu options changed and are less vegan friendly, but overall a good meal.

Food delicious, service extremely friendly and attentive. Favorite roll: "Firecracker" -- perfect for someone who like a little spicey and is reluctant to the "raw station" items. Sound level is perfect -- low background music, but not overpowering. Easy to have conversations at the table without shouting.

About the restaurant

A contemporary and lively spot to dig into your favorite brunch staples. With chef Hesston Swenn's wonderful twists on Benedicts, Chicken and Waffles as well as a revival of the Monte Cristo, Café Volare aims to offer you a big city brunch experience in the small town of Enid, Oklahoma.

Located in the base of the historic Independence Tower, Café Volare is a delightful blend of old and new as it harks to the Art Deco period. With many Instagram worthy dishes and drinks, the décor adds the final touch to the ultimate share-worthy brunch experience. General manager Kaycee Parry has ensured that every aspect of your experience will keep you coming back for more.

It should be noted that the kitchen is a "scratch" kitchen in which it is the aim to make as much of the menu items from scratch as possible. Therefor this restaurant is best booked when you have the time to enjoy drinks and wait for your meal to arrive.

Wow! Highly recommend Grey Sweater. We have lived in Oklahoma City for 6 years and regret not coming here sooner! We sat at the counter and enjoyed the 7 course paired with silver selection wine and it was absolutely perfect. One of the coolest eating experiences we’ve ever had.
