My personal favorite spot in Tulsa. Their pizza is delicious, salads are fresh, and their patio is perfection. My go-to pizzas are the Amalfi Fig or the BBQ Chicken. Their artichoke dip is also delicious. Grab a drink before or after at Hodges Bend across the street. Reservations recommended.

Award winning cocktails with a super swanky vibe. Order an Irish coffee and thank me later. You won’t have a better one anywhere. A limited menu is also available.

In the oil mansion of Phillips 66 Founder Waite Phillips, the outdoor gardens are just as amazing as the art collection. The Sunday brunch buffet is also excellent.
