Park House

Was pretty disappointed. We had reservations and as we were seated I asked our waitress if we could sit by the window. She said she would check then next thing we know she’s asking to take our order without ever following up the question. The music was turned down so low that you could hear the entire dining area and it was pretty sparse in there on a Saturday evening. The food was good, I got the chicken fried steak which was served with mashed potatoes that had chunks of potato in them– which I like. Overall because of the service and the atmosphere, I wouldn’t got back. The food wasn’t worth the price and experience.

My wife and i ate here on Valentine’s Day and it was fantastic. We had the Pop Rock Shrimp, which are big breaded shrimp with a sweet taste and a touch of spice, prime rib, and the chicken fried steak. The portions were huge and the mashed potatoes were delicious and made from scratch. This is definitely an undervalued gem in okc for a nice date night!

Had reservations for brunch and the hostess asked if the table right next to children would be OK and we asked if we could sit at the next table away from the kids (there were maybe 4 tables occupied in the whole restaurant) and were told that all the other tables were reserved. We asked why it would matter and she couldn’t give us an answer so we asked for a manager. The manager ended up saying the same thing and we pointed out the restaurant was completely empty and even if all the tables were reserved it would not affect anyone switching the tables around. He refused to accommodate our request so we went elsewhere. I can see why this place was completely deserted on valentines day!

We started out grumpy because valet parking (which means they take your keys and park in front of the front door = $ 10) was high for okc expectation.
Then the coffee was cold. But they happily brought out a fresh cup and the food was pretty good.
The Cobb salad was unique and tasty.
The classic breakfast was hearty, great eggs and sausage with cold gravy. The biscuit was fluffy with a buttery top, but again, cold.
We left thinking we’d come again if meeting friends but not as our suggestion.

Park House is a semi-​formal take on classic American food including burgers, steak, and roasts. This restaurant is beautiful and the food is phenomenal! Meals are prepared and served in a classy, clean manner and presented wonderfully! Park House is set perfectly with a large glass exterior that looks over the Myriad Garden in downtown OKC. Park House makes a great date night or special occasion.

Waited too long for waiter to take our drink order. Waited very long to order our meal. Then waited too long for meals to come. One out of four of us got their meal twenty minutes before the other three. Food was greasy and filet had no taste, and also was cold. The general manager came over and tried to make it right. They comped our meal but not the salads or drinks. Doesn’t matter since meal was so bad, they can’t make up for that. Bathrooms had no tp and were dirty.

Server was ver attentive, $ 2 Mimosas for brunch & great patio seating looking over the botanical gardens

This place never disappoints. We sat on the deck and watch the sun go down and look over the gardens. We all shared the signature rotisserie chicken and I had the pork chop and our friend had the lamb shank. All of them are great. Our service was great and side dishes were perfect. This may be the best restaurant in the city on a regular basis

I’ve been wanting to try Park House for awhile now and finally went for Saturday brunch this weekend, and sadly, was disappointed :/
The pros: great location and beautiful architecture, we sat on the patio and enjoyed the weather. The server we had (Chris) was great. We definitely did not experience the slow/​bad service I read in other reviews.
The cons: while skillfully prepared the food had pretty much zero flavor. We got the prime rib hash, fried oysters and poached egg, and biscuits and gravy with eggs and nothing was flavorful. Everything was cooked ok, but was just super bland. The oysters and the prime rib hash were both $ 16 each and at that price point I was expecting to be blown away.
Really wanted to enjoy it, but when the most flavorful part ends up being the coffee, probably won’t be back.

First let me say. The food was not bad. The Pickles tasted house made and they were amazing. The waffle fries were a little over seasoned, but still worth the extra 2 dollars. I was there for a To-​Go order so I could go to the concert in the park. I ordered a medium rare burger and fries. Simple enough. It took them 30 minutes on a to go order. Mind you, there were about 5 tables at the time. Finally we got our food, and my burger was over cooked but still tasty.
I will probably try them again, but not To Go.

Update: I’m 98% sure we got food poisoning from here.
This was a strange dining experience. We had a reservation for 7:30 and didn’t end up eating until 8:30. There was a GIANT (20+) table of people who got their order in before us, so I guess we just had to wait until all their food was done. When our food did come out, the pork belly was torched. Mostly, it was just super cooked fat from the end of a slab of pork belly. I’ve cooked pork belly, and I know what it’s supposed to be like. We expressed our disappointment to our server and he said «Well, it’s supposed to be crispy.» This is true. Pork belly should be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside… Not pork rind and jerky consistency. He took our plates back and they made us more, which was nice, but that pork belly was chewy and dry too. My boyfriend had the same dish in the past and raved about how delicious it had been. Overall, it was a big disappointment.

Still one of the best brunches within 250 miles. $ 2 mimosas, awesome Danishes, prime rib and great service make this place a great spot to linger with friends and family.

I don’t know how this place is hardly busy. Great atmosphere, situated at the Botanical Garden near the dog park. During the winter there’s an ice rank next to it. I used to bring my pup here and sit outside when the weather was nice and they are all about it. They’ll bring out a water bowl and offer safe leftovers to your pup as a treat.
They have flavored mimosas for your brunch worthy beverage. One of my favorite appetizers is the deviled egg flight. Their crispy chicken and waffles are classic and their pulled pork tacos are delicious. Their veggies are grown from the garden and they incorporate them into their dishes. One of my favorite brunch spots next to the Museum Café.

This was my first and only time at this restaurant. The restaurant has a very nice view and surrounding grounds/​patio. Great location and the décor is really modern. Where are all of the people? A couple of friends said this seems to be the case every time they come to this restaurant and were worried about its sustainability.
Having never been there — this place is way over priced and the food was bland. A couple of people ordered steaks and they were not cooked correctly. I ordered the pulled pork and corn cakes. The pork was dry but the corn cake was moist and flavorful. We tried the bananas foster sundae. I love bananas foster — this was mainly a glass of whipped cream–
The location is perfect too bad the food was not so much. It would be a wonderful place for moderate priced appetizers and cool signature drinks!
On a good note — Out waiter was excellent!
I really enjoy a nice restaurant and don’t mind spending money but will not spend it here again.

My experience at Park House was a great one! I went there with a large group and usually one has to correct the wait-​staff on orders (who ordered what kinda stuff), or the wait is super long for your food. But to my surprise our food came out perfectly and there was not a long wait. That made me stoked!
I ordered the Classic Breakfast. It was delicious! Not too much food to engorge yourself, but not too little to wish you had more. It was just right!
The atmosphere is modern, hip, and BOY! the view is gorgeous! Modern chic meets nature. Love that combo! Floor to ceiling windows nearly encompass the restaurant to overlook the Myriad Gardens. So classy!
You may be wondering why I gave Park House 4 stars… Well, it’s the bathroom. At first I felt like I was in a chic European bathroom. The stale doors and handles are SO COOL! The potty is ever COOL! Once I went to wash my hands one of the killer looking faucets didn’t work and there was Dial hand soap on the sink area. Totally janky! Park House! You’ve got these awesome, modern sinks and faucets! Fix your jazz! Oh! And when leaving the bathroom the door handle was so loose that it popped out the screw that held it to the door. :(
Other than those totally minor bathroom probs… I’d say go to Park House with a group or a loved one. I can’t wait to go there on a date with muh hubs!

This place has changed a little. The wait staff has changed almost completely out since it opened, and while service is not bad, I feel less wooed when I go there now. Certain menu items disappeared. Most of the time when I go now they don’t have anything on special, and when they do it is nothing fun or exciting. The variety is not great. It’s still goodish, but I think in an effort to economize, they lost a lot of luster. I still like the restaurant, but it’s more 3 stars now than 5 like it was when it opened. They’ve lost some of their edgy attempts at greatness, maybe because OKC is a desert for foodies, and the majority of the population here seems to crave blandish comfort food like hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fried steak, rotisserie chicken, and other familiar combinations, and RARELY upon much prodding MIGHT venture to try something new and immediately hate and reject it. It says a lot that the oldest longest standing restaurant in OKC serves bland cheap chili cheese coneys, and most sparsely attended international foods places have to have hamburgers and hot dogs on their menus to survive… Anyway… Sorry, getting off my okies refuse to economically support unique foods unless they are twists on hamburgers and hot dogs soap box.
The last time I went to Park House, I had the enchiladas, which I do occasionally order at restaurants, longing for the soupy yummy spicy cheesey baked casserole like enchiladas from my childhood. But restaurant enchiladas always seem to turn out to be dry crusty taco like shadows of what I am wanting. These were no exception. Just OK. The Chicken salad sandwich with fig paste is still amazing. kudos for that. Lets mix things up again though. Whoever the chef was when it opened was pretty awesome. I feel like someone either tied his/​her hands, or they couldn’t get okies to eat anything but hamburgers and hot dogs so they gave up. If they’re going to sell out, they might as well offer a chicken fried steak and be done being interesting.
Update: Tried the Rigatoni and sausage. Sauce was bland and lacked any creativity. I like the Roma tomato base, but it needed some kind of kick. I lived in Italy, and I can make a much better Roma red… In fact, maybe I’ll do that this weekend. It has been a while and the dissatisfaction from this made me crave my pasta.

This is the second time I’ve gone back here and I figured I would come back to see what their brunch would be like. My dinner experience was less than impressive. But this place managed to bounce back from my last visit.
I had the prime rib and hash. They were a bit reserved on the amount of prime rib they put in the dish. But overall it was good. The place wasn’t too crowded for brunch so that was a plus. I don’t think they pull in as big of a crowd as many other places during Sunday brunch.

My friend had her wedding reception here and I wasn’t too disappointed. I had the salmon with vegetables, with different appetizers rotating around for the different guests which included spinach artichoke, heirloom tomatoes w/​balsamic vinegar and baguette, firecracker shrimp, and a mozzarella and tomato dish. All was very good. Nice restaurant and great set-​up! It’s lunar shape helped guests see the whole restaurant.
Second time I came here was during a Unilocal Elite Event. We had ranch hushpuppies, cheese and crackers, slow roasted pork on corn cake, spinach crêpe w/​chicken, and fig w/​cheese and tomato no baguette. Not too shabby. My sister and I were pretty hungry and these finger foods weren’t filling us up much, so we decided to orange the waffle fries and chicken nachos. Chicken was shredded in a tomato type sauce, put atop waffle fries, and covered with cheese. The appetizer was pretty tasty! Fries were crispy and amount of ingredients are top wasn’t too much or little. I should come back and try other items!

This place is delicious! I went here with my sister who was eating on a restricted diet and they accommodated every request we had.
We stopped in for lunch after checking out the beautiful gardens. We ordered the rotisserie chicken and split it. It was so good. We also ordered the brussels sprouts and they were really good. The house salad came with a bacon vinaigrette dressing that was delicious. Since we split the meal the price was great. Stop in and give it a try.

I have been excited about this restaurant for months, which can sometimes get my hopes up too high, only to be dashed. I’m so happy to report it lived up to my every expectation and fills a void in our city’s dining scene. I know I say this a lot, be we had a lot of voids that needed filling. If you don’t want to read my lengthy review, no offense taken. Just stop reading now, and make reservations for your next fun night out at Park House.
Park House delivers upscale comfort food with a from-​scratch feel, without making us all painfully aware of how hard they’re trying. I’m sure they are trying hard, very hard, but it’s nice not to have to see them strain and pose the way some others seem to. Some places remind me of the Mr Bean scene in Love Actually. I don’t really need to watch a bartender crush the rosemary for my custom craft cocktail between the heels of his hands; I just want to taste the delicious cocktail. I don’t want to wonder how many different napkins you turned down before you settled on the perfectly-​Napa-​Valley-​bistro-​flour-​sack-​napkins. I just want it to feel so natural and easy that I can see both the forest and the trees.
The restaurant is cool and sleek, but it really allows the building to shine; I don’t feel as though I’ve stumbled into anyone’s Pinterest dream. The restaurant makes no wild claims that all of this is local or that every last condiment or ingredient is house made. You don’t get a treatise on the owners philosophy, nor a mission statement. Just a really solid menu.
There are a handful of restaurants around town where I can pour over the menu and not find anything that sounds like exactly what I want. This menu is the opposite. I look at this menu and want to cozy up to the table next to us so I can try their order, as I cajole my own table mates into ordering just the right assortment of beef, fish and chicken, with the maximum diversity of sides. (I’m happy to report I kindly left neighboring tables alone.)
I don’t get the sense the servers are auditioning for an episode of Portlandia. Our server did a good job, but we really appreciated the assist from Julie, the catering manager who came by to check on us several times. She was so charming and fun, we invited her to join us; she politely declined. Yep, we’re those people. But truly, they’ve staffed this joint very well.
I came with two of my favorite colleagues-​turned-​girlfriends on Saturday night, and while we all had some shop talk to cover before moving onto social stuff, we did that over a very reasonably priced bottle of Cava. Let’s talk about this wine list by the way. The owner’s son works in the wine industry in Napa, and the wine list reflects someone who’s from here, knows what people in OKC will like and what they’re willing to pay for. They feature a couple hundred wines, most of them very reasonably priced, and with an incredible variety. I can’t wait to spend some more time with this wine list.
For dinner, we ordered the pan seared Scottish salmon, the rotisserie free range chicken, and the chef’s daily rotisserie feature, which was a prime rib. I posted pictures of each of these delicious entrees. My favorite was the perfectly seasoned and roasted rotisserie chicken. I will definitely be ordering this again, but each dish was delectable, and I already know what I want to try when I come back. (Crab cake, halibut fish n’ chips or the chicken n’ chips).
All the sides were wonderful: we ordered the roasted Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, and we ate every bite. With our dinners, we all shared a the wild mushroom bread pudding, which was perhaps more comparable to a very delicious dressing, and something I plan to try to duplicate at Thanksgiving. We all loved the cauliflower, and the rolls are absolutely ridiculous. So good they truly melt in your mouth. With dinner we had the Velvet Devil Merlot, which worked well with all our entrees and came in at a cool $ 24 price point.
We splurged, breaking our New Year’s Resolutions in a comforting fashion: Warm Cookies + Milk and Donuts + Coffee. We all loved every bite, and it was fun to see normally very healthy eaters spurge, sneaking the last bite of cookie of the plate as our server grabbed it.
I’m always happy to pay for valet, event at $ 10, but if you’re not into that, there is tons of parking in the Cox Center garage or street side if there’s not a Thunder game. IF there is a Thunder game and you are lucky enough to get in, you’ll probably be happy to pay the $ 10 to valet and leave your car there during the game.
