"The best little experience we could've stumbled upon. Watch out and don't sleep on this gem that's in Sand Springs. A very unassuming exterior almost made us miss the entrance two times around. Once inside, we realized we were in an establishment that was there to take care of us. Walking in, to the right, was a pianist who played amazingly... two of our favorites were Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are and the main title from the movie The Godfather.We were immediately seated at 6:15 in the evening on a Friday without reservations. But something tells me this was a fluke, so call and prepare. The waitress we had, I believe her name was Mac, was super attentive but not intrusive. She knew the menu and all of its delicacies well. She paired us with an excellent Cab Sauv that took us through the meal.She suggested two variations of essential appetizers, antipastos....we chose Antipasto Classico, which had just the right variety of cheese, meats, and salad. For the main dishes, I chose the Ossobuco con Pappardelle, or best called Braised Veal Shank, with wide noodles and vegetables. The meat was just the right tenderness, and the sauce used to coat the dish was to die for, full of body and flavor. The hubs chose Branzino al Forno, Mediterranean Sea Bass which was deboned at the table. Light and cooked to perfection. Not over powering and melted in your mouth.Between the full bottle of wine and all of the amazing food, we were feeling the vip treatment with the hosts /owners visiting with us a few times through the meal. It felt like they wanted you to stay and fully enjoy the experience as if you were part of the family, I loved that.A chilled Limoncello was a nice touch to finish off the dinner. And while so much food is presented, I implore you to keep room open for dessert. Their tiramisu is so silky and divine, you will wonder why you just didn't start with that from the beginning.I truly loved this find and cannot wait to return. Thank you to Candy and Walter along with their amazing staff, Mac being our main waitstaff, as everyone made us feel like royalty."

"We were SO disappointed! The food was nothing like it used to be! It was flavorless. We hardly ate any of it. Crab won tons had next to no crab in them! Disappointed! We got to go containers and threw the food out at a gas station garbage can! One waitress had her kids there. They were well behaved. Place was clean and our waitress was very sweet and took good care of us. Just wish the food was as good as the service. Unfortunately, we'll never go back! We drove 40 miles to eat there because the last time we went, the food was excellent. I've never had such tasteless food like that! Makes me kind of sad because a good Chinese restaurant seems to be hard to find. I got Chicken Lo Mein with fried rice. They didn't use Sesame oil which flavors the food. Sad to say it was horrible, because the staff is so nice and great! They give huge portions. You could easily split a lunch, which we had. Some people get volume of food mixed up with good food. I hear more often that not, it's a great place to eat, you get a lot of food! I'd rather have smaller portions of good food! Also, the menu is huge! They have a great selection of dishes. Oh! There were hardly any vegetables in my Lo Mein! ONE water chestnut! The Lin Cuisine in Drumright saves food that was not eaten and serves it again. They have a plate by where they put the dirty dishes They put the sweet and sour chicken and pork and scrape it onto a plate. When it's full, they take it back to the kitchen to be resold. After reading tons of these reviews, I'm positive they do the same thing here! Why else would you get cold, old tasting wonton and food? Why would you get Gen Tso chicken with orange peels in it, unless you kept uneaten orange chicken and reused it? Years ago the Chinese restaurant we went to for years, got closed down because they were serving CAT in place of chicken! This was on the West Coast but I'm sure they're not the only ones who do this! Vegetarian options: There's plenty of vegetable dish options. I'm not recommending this place because the food was so bad this time. Parking: Like any outdoor parking lot at a restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome there. Wheelchair accessibility: You could get in with a wheelchair and sit at a table. They have tables and booths."
