Title: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: joiei on March 28, 2010, 12:31:20 pm I had brunch today at Caramel. Excellent food, we shared the pastry basket, the smoked salmon plate and the Crab Benedict. The food took a bit of time to get out but we were involved in our conversation so it was not noticed. The pastry basket was very good, nothing disappointed, their croissants are very good and the cheese danish the best I have tasted since I moved to Tulsa. The smoked salmon was served on homemade potato cakes with capers, onions and cream fraiche. The crab bene's was poached eggs on crab cakes on fresh brioche toast with a nice hollandaise. The pastries in the cases were beautiful. I was temped to pick up a whole fresh fruit tart to bring home. Nice work.

I wonder if they did much to market it.
Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: dbacks fan on July 27, 2010, 12:42:17 pm I just looked at their menu, and having not been there myself, ~$20.00 for a salad or sandwich a plated dessert and a beverage? That had better be the best I could ever have for that price.

Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: hello on July 27, 2010, 02:13:56 pm Not surprised in the least.
Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: Conan71 on July 27, 2010, 03:16:51 pm Not surprised in the least. Clarify, please. Bad food? Lousy service? I looked at the link to the menu and the prices for fru-fru sandwiches, beverages, and "sharable" desserts didn't really seem out of line for other places around town. Heck, not even much more than a sandwich at Jasons. Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: dbacks fan on July 27, 2010, 03:28:27 pm Jason's Chicken Caesar $6.99

Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: joiei on July 27, 2010, 05:52:43 pm The time I went the service was horrible. my experience was also very bad service. The food was good, but the waiters were some of the worst I have encountered in Tulsa. Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: Breadburner on August 10, 2010, 10:14:33 am Well...No need to worry about this place any longer.....
Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: sgrizzle on August 10, 2010, 11:14:47 am Saw that. Great space for rent if you're into white.
Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: Conan71 on August 10, 2010, 12:30:40 pm Saw that. Great space for rent if you're into white. Poor choice of words. Je$$e is all over you like a pitbull on newborn kittens (http://cache.dealbreaker.com/uploads/2010/05/jesse-1.jpg) Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: SXSW on August 20, 2010, 03:05:32 pm I'm hoping for an Indian restaurant. The closest one to midtown is Desi Wok at 41st & Hudson. Something like Kolam with south Indian dishes would be awesome.
Title: Re: Caramel in Center 1 Post by: Gold on August 20, 2010, 09:36:41 pm Good riddance. The lady running the place had talent, but service was a joke and the overall concept made no sense. Maybe the worst place I can remember on Brookside.
