Cheever's Cafe

Overall had a great experience here. The shrimp and grits were great and so was the salmon. The blue cheese chips appetizer was good but not quite as good as I had hoped (too much dressing and a little less blue cheese flavor than expected), but their homemade chips were great as well! They also had a good kids menu and the chocolate cake fed five of us with a third to take home still. They also asked if we were celebrating anything when making the reservation and provided a free dessert for my mom's birthday. I also recommend reading the story of the restaurant on their menu. They have an interesting story dating back to the early days in OKC. Recommend checking out if you get the chance. Definitely a good spot to celebrate a special occasion.

I hate to write this review but I am so disappointed in this café. I had high hopes for the foods because there were so many great reviews. We dined in on a Thursday night. The place was beautiful and upscale. The complimentary bread and butter was delicious. The kale salad was good but nothing special and was saturated in dressing. Although the nutty topping was good, the overwhelming amount of dressing took away from it. The entrées were disappointing. I got the chicken fried steak. The presentation was excellent and I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, the salt in the breading or gravy was so overwhelming that I had to constantly gulp water after every bite. The promised jalapeño flavor was nonexistent. The potatoes were okay. There was so much breading on the steak that half of my bites were pure (salty) breading. My husband ordered the spicy Ceasar salad which he said was delicious and the special; glazed venison on a bed of asparagus, sweet potato and peppers. He said the venison was chewy. I sampled a bite and it was certainly unremarkable even covered in the glaze. The asparagus was delicious and cooked to perfection as well as the sweet potato. We originally were planning to order dessert, but after the underwhelming dinner, we opted to go somewhere else for dessert and coffee. I will say that the service was excellent. We had a good waiter and the atmosphere was relaxing. I enjoyed the fresh flowers and candlelit ambiance. I will not be back, simply because if I'm paying premium prices, I'd like the food to be delicious. I cannot eat ambiance and be satisfied.

A wonderful restaurant for a date or an evening out with a friend. I highly recommend the seafood tamales. They are sweet potato tamales in a bed of lobster, scallops, more seafood and seasoned vegetables. It's all cooked to perfection and is a flavor explosion.

We had a wonderful girls’ night out with dinner and drinks. The Road to Hana cocktail brought a delightful spicy kick, while the martini was a timeless classic. I ordered the seared salmon, cooked to perfection with a beautiful balance of flavors. My friends enjoyed the short ribs, chicken-fried steak, and roast chicken—each dish looking as good as it tasted. Of course, I couldn’t resist snapping pictures of all our plates.

We decided to try brunch at Cheevers and it was a delightful experience! Our server was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was upscale and comfortable and it was easy to have a nice conversation. Our food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious!! We started with the Blue Cheese potato chips and this dish was yummy! A little pesto on top really added to the flavor. The chicken fried steak offered an elevated gravy on a bed of red potatoes. The chicken and waffles were scrumptious! The waffle was crispy and flavorful and the chicken had a spicy crunch that left you wanting more! We are already planning our next visit so we can try some of their specialty drinks and their regular menu. You should definitely try this restaurant!
