Best Spots for a Romantic Dinner in Oklahoma City

Valentine's Day is one of the busiest times for top restaurants. Most people want to take their partner out for a night on the town, including dinner. But with top restaurants requiring reservations months in advance, it can be impossible to try and make a reservation even a few months before Valentine's Day. Here are some restaurants that are hidden gems. They are romantic, but you will also be able to get a reservation fairly easily.

The Haunted House Restaurant is a top-notch restaurant located in Oklahoma City. The location is rumored to be haunted, which seems like an odd choice for a romantic night out. But whether the location is haunted or not, the restaurant is one of the most romantic restaurants in the entire Oklahoma City area. Their prices are quite high for the area, but the chef takes care to provide the most excellent quality cuisine available. Make sure to try their filet mignon which seems to be a favorite of their patrons. The Haunted House Restaurant is located at 7101 Miramar Boulevard, and their phone number is (405)478-1417.

Nikz at the Top is a rotating restaurant that slowly pivots to give you a nice view of the entire city skyline. As you progress through your meal, the scenery and landscape changes because of this. It has been known by other names in the past, including the Eagle's Nest. It is the number one most romantic dinner spot in Oklahoma City, and even patrons who have eaten at elegant places throughout the world rank it among their top five. The style of the restaurant is done as an elegant 1940's speakeasy. Nikz at the Top is located in the United Founders Tower at 5900 Mostellar Drive in Oklahoma City. Their phone number is (405)843-7875.

The Deep Fork Grill is a top-notch restaurant for romantic dining in Oklahoma City. I have personally known a former head chef, and I can vouch for the high degree of excellence that The Deep Fork strives to maintain. They specialize in locally raised beef, pork, and chicken, or there are fresh seafood options available. One of the dishes that people seem to love the most is the cedar planked salmon. The restaurant is decorated in an upscale lodge style. The decor provides just the right setting for a night out on the town. The Deep Fork Grill is located at 5418 N. Western Ave., and you can make a reservation by calling (405)848-7678.

Jutta's Keller is another top ranked restaurant in the Oklahoma City area. This restaurant serves authentic German cuisine. The chef is Jutta Scheider, who honed her skills in Europe. The reason this makes the list for romantic dining spots is due to two reasons. First, not that many people are aware of it, which makes it a nice little hidden gem. Second, you are dining in an actual castle, right in the middle of Oklahoma City. The builder modeled his home after a Normandy castle, and opens it up for special events and dining. There is a cascading waterfall and beautiful grounds, and during warmer months, dinner can be served outdoors. Make sure to try the pork loin roast for a special culinary treat. Jutta's Keller is located at Castle Falls, at 820 N. MacArthur, and their phone number is (405)942-6133.

The restaurants are all top-notch. Make sure you choose one that is special for you as a couple, and enjoy your evening out. A fine dinner will be the beginning of a romantic, memorable evening. But don't let the mood stop with the evening. Take the romantic settings to heart and make everyone think you are a new couple in love all over again.
