Picasso Cafe

[klhokc]

I ate at Picasso's tonight... had a pizza and it was good - service was outstanding... My question is, and Galileo's charged it also... but I was charged a separate liquor tax on my wine....I don't go out that often but do other places charge this liquor tax also? I don't recall seeing any place but at Galileo's & now Picasso's.

Same here. I stopped buying it in silent protest. I'll buy it for $4/pint. But not $6+.

I know what you mean. I pretty much stick with Choc when I drinking Okie beer.

I noticed that as well.
You could asked the Tax Commission.
Yea I know a big help..lol

Ate there tonight.

I'd give the service a 10, the blue cheese fig app a 10+, the lobster po boy an 8, and the chicken fried portobello a 7. I'll definitely return.

Your going to pay this tax regardless. Some restaurants show it as a seperate tax, but most include it in the drink price on the ticket.

BTW...Picasso's is doing a great job, been twice, great both times.

In September, the Marionette staff and I traveled (well, it's very close to our school so it's not much of a sojourn) to Picasso Cafe in the Paseo for our monthly food review.

Here are their thoughts! Enjoy

I always thought I wanted to give Picasso Café a try . . . Now I'm sure of it.

Thanks for sharing. I commend the young journalists!

[kevinpate]

Please tell your young charges job well done.

Well written and researched. When I was on the school paper...all we ever did was sneak out to sell ads. By selling ads, I mean go eat at Taco Mayo on Air Depot.

I wasn't familiar with the Marionette before this post. Great educational tool teaching them how to run an online news source. Bravo!

[bandnerd]

Thanks! It was SO GOOD. The staff received All-Oklahoman last spring at our annual conference and contest, along with numerous individual awards. They're off to a great start this year. They really only need me to play Devil's advocate and drive them places these days lol.

We're getting ready to play with more video and I can't wait. So much fun.

I'll let them know you all enjoyed the article!

I was a school paper rat in jr. high, high school and last half of undergrad. Also yearbook in high school a last 1/2 undergrad. The bulk of high school and a fair bit of my last two years of undergrad was spent writing, pointing a camera, and hanging out in the darkroom as often as possible.

Han an absolutely fantastic meal and experience at Picasso's last night.

There were six of us and we shared multiple small plates, each had a cocktail or two and an entree.

I had the braised short ribs special and it was delicious. Everything was perfectly prepared and presented.

And although I'm usually not a cocktail guy, i had the hibiscus margarita and it was outstanding.

Service was about the best I've experienced in OKC.


Quite busy for a Wednesday night. Really want to come back for brunch as well.

^^^^
Get a reservation for brunch unless you want to sit at the bar. It usually packed early.

Glad you enjoyed it. The Brunch is awesome.

Bars and restaurants in the Paseo area are usually pretty busy no matter what night of the week you go. It's one of the few areas of OKC that have a critical mass of people actually living there to support the businesses in the neighborhood. That is a big reason I am so excited about Via Paseo and Pueblo on Paseo. The neighborhood has built-in advantages that others don't.

Easily one of our top 5 favorite places in the metro! The Ahi Tuna Indian Taco is awesome

The food there is really good and relatively inexpensive for what you get (blackened shrimp risotto is great and only $12-13). I've been a few times for dinner during the week and crowds have been hit or miss, but I may have just hit it on an off night. Service has always been good, it can be a little slow on the weekends.

I need to try their brunch. We went on a Saturday planning on brunch, not knowing that they only serve it on Sundays... They have 2-3 breakfast items on their Saturday menu, but I look forward to trying their full options.

[Pete]

Their menu is pretty amazing given the size of the place.

There is not only a lot of choice but a good deal of what they offer is pretty inventive. Then, you can get everything from brunch to sandwiches to salads to small plates to fine dining.

And their drink and wine list is equally extensive, diverse and creative.

New menu with more veggie items:

Hooray! If anyone from Picasso's reads this, thank you! We've been visiting Picasso's to get good vegetarian food for a long time and this just gives us more of a reason to go.

I wish they would bring back the Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo as well.

What was this? It sounds awesome!

[Richard at Remax]

Its been a while but I am pretty sure it was buffalo meatballs, in buffalo sauce, covered with buffalo mozzarella
