Here is the info from his Bistro in Charlotte NC. Seems to be towards the higher end on prices to me. Have not been to one so I won't speculate on the quality.

http://www.wolfgangpuck.com/restaurants/casual-dining/Wolfgang-Puck-Bistros/7547/section-menu
Nothing on that menu is over $16 so the prices are very reasonable and will work with that neighborhood.   Less than Brasserie and more than The Brook.   A nice addition I think. 

Oklahoma City must be madder than an old wet hen now that we have a Hard Rock Hotel AND are getting the first Wolfgang Puck in the state.

Seems like I've eaten at one in an airport somewhere.  Minneapolis or Chicago or someplace like that.  I'll assume that their restaurants are better than their airport cafes.  Otherwise...just another mediocre national chain to check off our list.

I think Wolfgang Puck should start a chef college.

He could call it Puck U.

Is this project still moving forward?  I walked by Saturday and saw some scaffolding and a dumpster behind but it doesn't appear they are moving very fast, if at all.  I think having that corner opened up with a trendy new restaurant, big windows, and outdoor seating will be really good for Brookside so hopefully it will still open sometime this year.

Do not get you food hopes up.

Yes, a visual improvement.

Want to know why restaurants fail? Because unlike most industries, every Tom, Dick and Sam thinks he can open and run a restaurant. I can't think of another industry in which so many untrained and inexperienced amateurs make an attempt. I can attest to how difficult it is. I had years of experience in the industry and still struggle...today. I'm still no expert and it's still not easy. It's perhaps the most demanding and difficult job I can think of. People find that they have a nice book of recipes from grandma or they make good steaks at home and before you know it, they've scraped up some money and opened a little restaurant. As for the chains that fail, it seems that most of the time, those things happen when a mediocre product is combined with a poor assessment of location or demand...see any number of mediocre concepts that have tanked it on "can't miss 71st street."

As for those numbers, I've read some articles recently on the subject. Enjoy them:

The restaurant is set to open this week.

The Brookside area is a good match for the concept, Essa said, but the restaurant would not have come together without the efforts of Henry, owner of In the Raw, Full Moon Cafe and The Ivey.

Henry, who had control of the building that formerly housed the Delta Cafe at 33rd Street
and Peoria Avenue, wanted to use it for something new. But for many months nothing seemed right.

"We had a lot of offers that had come from a lot of restaurants, but I knew it had to be the right fit for both me and Brookside," Henry said.

  Ate there this past weekend.  The food was excellently prepared.  Prices were reasonable and the drinks were fantastic.

I love the lamb sausage they make.  I ate at Spago a couple of months ago in Vegas and had the lamb sausage pizza.  It was awesome.
