The Mantel Wine Bar & Bistro

Located in the historic district of downtown Oklahoma City exists a wine bar and bistro called The Mantel....

It seems that I only write reviews for 5-star places but maybe that is because I only go to 5-star places and this is another one in Oklahoma City. I have always loved this place, I started going there about 8 years ago and try to put it only my once or twice a month dining list. Lunch is a great time to go if you get there early, they have wonderful food and professional staff. They make eating out a pleasure. Parking is sometimes a problem at noon or dinner, but the food makes up for it. The atmosphere is lovely but at times seems tight when they are crowded as they usually are most evenings, so make reservations for an oversized table (oops probably shouldn't give that trick away).
