Deep Fork Wood Grill & Seafood doesn’t just dazzle taste buds with its fresh seafood flown in daily, thick-cut steaks, pan-seared local chicken, and extensive wine list. It also impresses with its eclectic decor that changes with every room.

In one room, soft lights illuminate dark wood booths while electric bonsai trees erupt with glowing neon purple flowers. Traditional wall sconces separated by curio cabinets rest beside round tables covered in stark white cloths in another dining room, and in yet another, an oversize Italian tapestry overlooks a long rectangular table perfect for large groups or tall people looking for a place to nap. At the wood bar with illuminated glass shelves nestled in a high wooden archway, guests sip salted-caramel martinis, pink ginger cosmos, and Veuve Clicquot champagne.

Rick Gratch has been running Caffe Pranzo for 16 years, almost as long as it's been open, but many of his customers have been dining there since before he started. It's the restaurant's traditional Italian menu that inspires such devotion, plating pastas, chicken, and fish sautéed in delicate wine sauce. Pizzas, too, are prepared the old-fashioned way, with dough thrown high in the air. After garnishing them with gourmet toppings such as grilled artichoke hearts, portabella mushrooms, and summer squash, the brick-oven-baked pies transport to a dining room bedecked with works by local artist Jennifer Holloway. There, guests who've finished off their meals can tuck into cheesecakes shipped from New York City's Carnegie Deli for a taste of Manhattan without the granite-y mouthfeel of biting the Empire State Building.

In 2003, author and James Beard–nominated chef Matthew Kenney underwent a culinary awakening after visiting a raw-vegan restaurant. Since then, he’s made the steady transition into vegetarian and vegan cooking, espousing the mental and physical benefits of eating organic. At Matthew Kenney OKC, guests are greeted with a menu of healthy and flavorful dishes such as green curry with kelp noodles and buckwheat pizza layered in housemade cheeses that have won praise from numerous media outlets, including Forbes. Matthew emphasizes foods that make you feel good, even at dessert, which is why his eponymous eatery doesn’t skimp on the sweet stuff, topping mint-chip sundaes with cacao whip and flavoring chocolate tarts with spiced caramel.

The artistry of each dish’s presentation carries over into Matthew Kenney OKC’s sleek space, which consists of four separate dining areas. Parties can relax in a communal space situated in front of the open kitchen, inside an airy dining room beneath 14-foot bamboo ceilings, at the oval juice and wine bar, or on the outdoor patio where fresh air competes with fresh ingredients to win the Freshest Thing Award.

The cooks at Chubby’s Chicken & Grill pride themselves on doing up whole and half chickens however their guests would like—grilled, fried, or seared with laser vision. But they don’t stop at just chicken. Inside the casual eatery, guests can dig into hearty, home-style eats such as fried pickles, fried green beans, and burgers. On game nights, they pile in for domestic and imported brews and to cheer for their favorite polo horse, and on Tuesdays, they dig into all-you-can-eat catfish feasts.

Tin ceilings hover above the weathered plaster and brick walls of Two Olives Café, whose rustic, old-world character is bolstered by exposed ventilation pipes that run the length of the room. The founder of the café, Tricia Henderson, designed the room to reflect the history of the area, mounting black-and-white photographs to offer guests a more explicit glimpse into the past.

In the kitchen, chefs lace fresh chicken salad with apples, grapes, and almonds, giving it a sweet, tart crunch that makes it the most popular sandwich on the menu and the expected winner of next year's prom court. Ham, salami, and olive salad stack the muffaletta sandwich, and housemade chipotle dressing adds a subtle smokiness to the otherwise classic caesar salad.
