This Week's Restaurant Review...

By Samuel L. Smithers
Chief Restaurant Reviewer

This week our party took a trip to Tulsa and Utica Square's Stonehorse Cafe, an upscale grill with linen tablecloths and napkins and an extensive menu of great things to eat.
We began with the Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup, which lived up to its name.
We selected the Grilled Pork Chop for the entree. This was no ordinary pork chop, but the largest chop we've ever seen, a full two inches thick sitting atop some really great scalloped potatoes and topped with long green beans. They give you a really big knife to attack the chop.
Mine had a bit of fat in it but one of our companions at the table had a perfect chop, nicely grilled.
My date for the evening had the fettuccini with chicken which also was delicious. The one disappointment at our table was the Roasted Garlic Ravioli with mushrooms and italian sausage, which was a bit soupy.
Service by Amanda was quick and well executed.
This restaurant has such an extensive menu that you would be hard pressed not to find something to fit your taste buds, some 16 appetizers and a dozen entrees, plus a half dozen sides. Water is served in an old glass milk bottle from Star Dairy, Mulhall, OK.
Head Chef and owner is Tim Inman and it is always nice to find the owner actually working in the restaurant. His special "crackers" are the first thing you see on the table and make for great munching.
This isn't an inexpensive place to eat...our total for two was $66.34 including wine, but well worth it.
Stonehorse Cafe is open for lunch and dinner daily except Sundays and Mondays.
