Dining Near Hotel & Must Try

 

 

Mahogany

145 W. Sheridan Ave.

Oklahoma City, OK 73102

405-208-8800

Recommended by Don Karchmer, International Pipe

This is a restaurant where steak is the star – where great steak is the rule, not the exception. Mahogany’s steaks are the finest custom-aged U.S. Prime Midwestern Beef known for its excellence in marbling, texture and flavor. We broil it exactly the way you like it at 900 degrees to lock in the corn-fed flavor. We serve it sizzling on a heated plate so that it stays hot throughout your meal. Selections from the ocean include Australian Rock lobster and the freshest fish daily based on availability. Service will be outstanding, but provided in a casual, less intimidating fine-dining atmosphere.





Tellers 

(Located in the conference hotel)

333 W. Sheridan Ave.

Oklahoma City, OK 73102

Recommended by Darren Sparks, International Pipe

"Best breakfast blueberry lemon pancakes on the planet!"

Tellers Italian Wood-Fired Grill 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.

MOB Grill

The Parlor OKC

Marco Morrow created MOB Grill as an homage to the classic gangsters we all know and love, all while serving up some pretty good burgers. Marco's, Italian / Lebanese heritage shines through. He was inspired by considerable consumption of the original onion burger, adding some Lebanese influence with plenty of spices and robust flavors. He began making fried-onion burgers for a love of all things Oklahoma, including his wife Meredith, who hails from the fried-onion burger capital of the world in El Reno.



Sushi Neko

4318 N Western Ave

Oklahoma City, OK 73118

405-528-8862

Best sushi bar for years by local Oklahoman since its opening 1998. If you're visiting Sushi Neko for the first time, don't be alarmed when our sushi chef shouts, Irasshai! It just means "welcome and make yourself at home." If you sit at the sushi bar, you'll notice the large, etched glass panel displayed on the back wall. The emblem in the center is a traditional family crest, called a "mon." Well, when you visit Sushi Neko, that's exactly what you are - family. We provide great variety sushi roll as well as nigiri, premier filet mignon, fresh oyster, and seafood. We also offer fine wine and Japanese sake, as well as Japanese beer such as Asahi and Sapporo.

Gene Autry, John Wayne, Ronald Reagan (before he was President), and more recently, Reba McEntire. In the early '90s, George Bush (the elder, while he was President) stopped in for a good meal and a stiff drink.
