    Hidden gem in OKC! Perfect place for celebrating a special occasion or for making someone feel special. CF used to have a distinct German vibe, but now the menu is quality American fare and has something for everyone. Everything we ordered (from appetizer to salad, entrees to dessert and even the coffee) was delicious!! Complements to the chef. The owner is a delightful lady who is passionate about the history of CF. Marshall, our server, was superb. Try Castle Falls for your next special occasion!

    This was our first visit to The Vast, and it was for our 20th wedding anniversary. My wife and I had a wonderful time! Our wait staff was very polite and helpful. Mitchell did a wonderful job! The only area of improvement would be with my wife’s meal. She ordered the pan seared rack of lamb. Her potatoes were not all cooked properly. Some were still hard, some were cooked properly, soft. Other than that, we absolutely enjoyed our experience and will be returning!

    I have been a fairly regular patron at Nonesuch since their opening in 2017 and have always loved it. Their new concept is more of an evolution than a wholesale change - the constant is great local food prepared with huge amounts of care. I heartily recommend… Nonesuch is always a wonderful evening!

    We reserved a table for Christmas Day dinner. It was outstanding! Valet parking was included with validation. The staff were warm and friendly, and added to the festive atmosphere wearing Christmas-themed attire. 4 course meal with plenty of options. The food tasted great and was custom paired with a different Napa Valley wine for each course. Best Christmas dinner I’ve ever had… and that’s saying a lot, considering I’ve had over 50 years of experience. Thanks for an amazing experience!
