From Sunday:
Is there only work being on the demo for the garage or are they still working in the main tower?
^
They are also working in the main tower preparing for apartments and the hotel.
Bye bye, ugly international style facade.
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
Our building management at BancFirst Tower across the street have said that the southbound lanes of Broadway are going to close on the 18th for demolition to begin and that they will be closed throughout construction of the new garage for the next 10-14 months.
^^^also Park ave will be closed for 10-12 months as well afaik.
Ruth's Chris to be on the 1st floor of First National when it reopens.

Hopefully it won't close at 5pm, amirite?
In all seriousness, this is a big get for the FNC! Will be anticipating the other offerings they are able to secure!
I don’t hate it, but I wish it was a local steakhouse. I just can’t see myself going to a Ruth Chris over Broadway 10, red, the ranch, boulevard, mahogany.
There will be a lot of really excited people so that’s good. Hopefully some of the other spaces are local operations and this doesn’t just get filled up with high end chains.
Sucks. Much rather have a different concept (S&W, Morton's, Oceanaire) May be the odd guy out but I have eaten at Ruth Chris' 8-10 times all over the country (including the one in Tulsa) and have never had a good experience. I have literally walked by our servers taking a break on the way to the bar to get my own drink.
They get good reviews in most places. Will be popular with national visitors. Locals will still go to the better local steak houses as they do most places. All in all, it enhances outsiders view of downtown OKC.
Bob's Steak and Chop House is going into the Omni as well.
That's 3 steakhouses within a few blocks on Robinson.
So, we'll have:
Bob's
Ruth's Chris
Mickey Mantle's
Mahogany
Red Prime
Broadway 10
I'll vouch for Bob's, having eaten there a few times. Very expensive but very good,
.
I view this as positive news. I have eaten at Ruth Chris in New Orleans where they got their start in 1965 (see below), along with Atlanta and Dallas location (North Dallas Tollway) and have always had a great experience. To me this is a venerable name recognition steak house that does it right! I also like local options like Red and Mahogany when I am in town. This is a good catch for OKC!
