Great Make An Impression Restaurant

by whbmurphy

If you want to make an impression with your date, or a business client, this is a great place to take them. The food is always very good and the service is wonderful. It is upscale and classy, but also seems to be very traditional not striving to do "the newest quisine variation" on the planet as some of the more trendy restaurants are always attempting to do.

• Pros: Great for making an impression
• Cons: Somewhat costly, but worth it.

True fine dining in OKC

by byzan

A restaurant like this is all about the chef, and Kurt Fleischfresser is one of the world's best. His credentials are impeccable, and his passion is apparent throughout. If you are in Oklahoma, there is simply nothing to rival the Coach House as a fine dining experience. It is tiny, so there's a good chance you'll meet Kurt. He's passionate and down to earth, so expect to enjoy him. His wine selection is very interesting, with a very significant selection of Australian and South American wines which are cutting edge. Order a mint julep, Kurt makes it himself and it's beyond belief.

Kurt is brilliant, but I have a couple of quibbles. First and most important, I do not recommend ordering beef. He uses No Name Beef, the only organic, corn-fed ranch in Oklahoma, and their animals just aren't very good. Sad to see such talent wasted with this stuff [for the same reason, avoid Irma's Burgers!]. Second, when you go to this type of place, you want to try a lot of courses. Usually they are tiny, but Kurt's are the size of those at a chain restaurant. An entree is a full meal. Many people like this I'm sure, but personally I want to try everything without getting stuffed, having a huge doggie bag and spending a lot.

• Pros: Spectacular fine dining
• Cons: Pricey, the beef isn't great

One of the best in OK.

The Coach House is an outstanding restaurant. Without question one of the very best in this state and would have no problem serving their food in any city in the US. If you are looking for a terrific formal dinning experience this is the place!

• Pros: Food, wine and service.
• Cons: Expensive, but worth it.
