Anybody have a restaurant suggestion for the following criteria:

Uniquely Tulsa (I was thinking Cherry St, downtown or Riverwalk) and for a picky eater (steaks or mexican probably).

For Steak--DOE'S..in the Cherry Street district. You can't come to the beef capital part of the nation, and not have a big ole steak.  
Kilkenny's has a unique menu, and Hideaway has by FAR the best Pizza.

He said Uniquely Tulsa. Doe's is a chain based out of Mississippi.

Cafe Ole for Mexican, although I've heard it called southwestern.  Whatever you call it, I love the place. The only steak I've eaten in Tulsa was at Flemings or Spudder.  VERY different but both good...although you can probably guess which one was better.
What is the name of the Mexican place near Caz's, just to the west.  It was nothing spectacular but the area was fun and I recall the food being decent.  In the Raw has never dissapointed me but I'm pretty easily impressed with Sushi, since I don't know much about what I'm eating...I just love the stuff.

I'll second Thyme.  It's located in the strip center northeast of 31st and Harvard.

I suggest McNellie's.  It is not steak or texmex, but instead hamburger/sandwich/pub food.  There is something on the menu for everyone, even extremely picky eaters.  It presents very well with it's version of southwest modern pub.  It is locally owned, has the thousands of beers and beer mugs to talk about, and has the McNellie's brew on top.  And it is a visually and economically interesting area of downtown to be in at night.

For all of our out of town personal and business guests, we take them to McNellie's because it represents to us the best blend of old Tulsa style with new Tulsa progress.

Plus, if you ask them, they'll put chopped fresh jalapeño on your burger.

I second Cafe Ole on Brookside. Don't have more than 2 Margaritas otherwise you'll have to call a cab [:O]

Uniquely Tulsa?  El Guapo is mexican and local.

uh no, el guapos is not mexican.  more like, okie food using jalopenos and queso with a rooftop breezeway.  BFD.  same goes for los cabos.

for mexican check out senor tequilas or Mexico lindo south Tulsa locations, not the midtown dreck.

and I concur with the mcnellie's food comment above.  i think for good pub food kilkenny's is better....but thats not saying much.

I'm not a big fan of Mexico Lindo's.  They look an awful lot like La Mansion (their menu does).  I guess I was jaded from 3 years of living in Houston.  I say Ninfas is quite possibly the best TexMex place on the planet, but I don't even know if it's still open; last time I was there was over 10 years ago.

yes I did. That's why it took me 11 hours after joiei's post to make the award announcement. I was up all night reading! []

For those of you eagerly awaiting my response....

We ate at Caz's Chowhouse then drove around and showed our visitors some of Tulsa's cool downtown buildings.  The food was excellent, although the service was a little slow.  Caz's wasn't "packed" but there were several couples who came in during the evening so hopefully when downtown gets hopping, these business will do well.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
