Looking for a good steak

[AMP]

Ah, forgot about the Green Onion. They do make a scrumptious steak, charred on the outside and medium rare on the inside with lots of juice.  

They make a wonderful Sherry Tomato Soup as well. And some Giant Pennington's style Fried Shrimp that are butterfly cut and smashed to make em big and crunchy.

WhatI would give for an original slice of Pennington's Black Bottom Pie.  

Believe I had a Rib Eye last time there, a radio station sales rep bought me dinner over a buy for one of our special events.  Think that steak cost me around $3,500.  LOL

Blackend prime rib, medium rare at the Green Onion. No contest.

For something out of the way...   Hickory Hills..  
131st and 129th.  

I used to be able to get a 6 oz bacon wrapped fillet, vegetable, potato, soup and salad plus a couple of beers for about $20.

Speaking of, I need to go back there.

I've always had a great steak when I've been to Mahogany on Yale.  While there are Mahogany's in both OKC and Omaha the Tulsa restaurant is the original.

I have never had a bad steak at the Celebrity Restaurant (formerly the Celebrity Club) at 31st & Yale.  And their Caesar salads, freshly prepared and served tableside, are wonderful too, in both taste and presentation.  The restaurant/club has been there for 40+ years, so they must be doing something right.

Also a good choice. ^

Yes, Mike and Nicky Samara have always served up the primo groceries at the Celebrity Club.  Lunch there is reasonable and they have great Fried Shrimp.  

The table prepared Ceasar rocks. Best in Tulsa!

Back in the 1960s, on the rare occasions that my parents would go out to eat without us kids, we always knew where they were going by my parent's mode of dress.  When mom was in one of her beaded, sparkly cocktail dresses with high heals, and dad was in a suit & tie, we knew they were going to either the Petroleum Club or the Celebrity Club!  That was back in the days when people used to dress for dinner, especially for restaurant dining.
Celebrity is no longer a private club, but the steaks and salads are still top notch.  You are right, their Caesar salad rocks.  For a light meal, you can go there just for the Caesar salad alone.

I don't eat out at fancy restaurants much because I don't make a lot of money and my kids can embarass me at a fancy place in a minute. I swear the cloth napkins and fancy water glasses turn both my kids into Jerry Lewis clones.

But my parents said they would take my wife to any place she wanted for her birthday and she said Mahogany. My wife and I got some good clothes on, left the young-uns with her mom, and met them for an early dinner.

When I ordered my steak, I asked what comes with it. I was expecting maybe some tator tots or fried okra, but was shocked when the waiter said "nothing". They had other stuff, but would charge me more.

The next weird thing to me was when they showed up with our four steaks, four guys with little flashlights shined on our plates and waited for us to cut into them to make sure they were done enough. It was kind of an odd experience having a spotlight on my meal, then having somebody waiting for me to show my expertise at cutlery.

If I ever go back, I will probably pull out a switchblade just to shock them or maybe pick up the meat with my hands and take a bite out of the side.

I have never been to Mahogany, but have heard that it was good steaks for mucho big $.  After your review, I think I will pass.  Seems like too much pretention for me.  You can get quality steaks at Jamils or Celebrity without the pretention and attitude.

[bigdtottown]

I'll have to second the Petroleum Club but it's still private so it doesn't really count here.  When we moved back to Tulsa about 2003 we had a couple of dissapointing meals there, not bad at all but not what I'd remembered.  However over the last year of so things have taken off and the food has gotten really good.  It's hard to beat the view from the upstairs bar as well.  One of my favorite things there is the seafood Fridays...my brothers and I would eat boiled shrimp and crab claws till we could hardly move and THEN we'd actually eat dinner.

Someone may want to jump in and correct me on this one, but this is what I heard.
I was told that many of the steaks at Mahogany are the same as those at Charlestons next door.

I wish. I would just go to Charleston's and save a bunch of money.
