The Chalkboard
The Chalkboard is a cozy restaurant tucked in the bottom level of the historic Ambassador hotel. The mix of Continental and European flavors on the menu make The Chalkboard one of Tulsa's premier dinning locations. The Chalkboard restaurant offers three private rooms and full service catering. The restaurant is open breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and 365 days a year. The Chalkboard bar is a great place to get a classic cocktail before a downtown show or enjoy a bite to eat and great conversation with locals and business travelers alike.

"We have been to The Chalkboard a couple of times---once for an anniversary and once on Christmas Eve. Loved both of these visits.
Took mom here for their Mother's Day Brunch. It was good, but was overpriced for what we had.
The salads were tremendous, though!!!!!"

"East Coast transplants reporting from Tulsa. We've been here about a month now, and this is far and away the best meal we've had.
We were surprised when the restaurant was maybe 1/3 full as we arrived at 7:35 on a Friday night. Our suspicion quickly faded. Peroni on tap and a solid manhattan immediately brought us around. We started with the crabcake and it was as good as anything you'll find out east - little to no filler. My beef wellington had the pastry just right, crisp on the outside yet fluffy and easy to open with just a fork. The beef could have been a little more rare, but that is a matter of opinion/taste. My wife's scallops were right sized and delicious - only bone to pick is the risotto was a little too 'wet'."

"This was our first visit to the Chalkboard and it was okay. The food and service were adequate but not great. The bread pudding and coffee were the best but the lamb was tough and the rest of food was average. We might try the bar one night because the place looked like a great place to have a drink."

"Another fabulous evening at The Chalkboard, which never fails to impress. Our server, Eric, selected an impeccable bottle of wine, followed by the crabcake appetizer(a group favourite). The entrees were timed perfectly, glasses attentively filled, and signature desserts devoured. Cannot wait for the next occasion - or out-of-town guest - to revisit this phenomenal Tulsa secret."

"First time at this amazing restaurant in the Ambassador Hotel in Downtown Tulsa -- food was AMAZING! I had the diver scallops and risotto, husband had sweet potato gnocchi - both were the very best we've had and we've had them at the best places. Sit in the wine room! Very romantic, quiet, wonderful service!!"

"This was my first time to eat at The Chalkboard and I was impressed with their menu and variety of gourmet dinner options. I had the fisherman's stew, my wife had the lamb. The waitress was kind, and the atmosphere relaxed. It was our anniversary. There are two things, however, with which I was disappointed; the price and quantity of food. At $30-$40 a plate, I want a meal! The portions were princess portions. I could have eaten 3 times that amount and I'm not big.
Also the wine list seemed a little sparse. Nothing extraordinary.
The experience wasn't bad. At $120 on a dinner for two, I felt like I did not get my money's worth, but that's all."

"This will go down as one of our favorite dining experiences! The atmosphere was intimate and cozy and the staff friendly and attentive. The cheese plate appetizer was a hit for everyone at the table. The Beef Wellington was delicious and the bread pudding was a perfect dessert to end our meal. We will definitely be back to dine at this restaurant again!"
