    Jan 21, 2026 only
    Come take a tour through French wines by Kermit Lynch at our January Wine Dinner on 1/21 at 7pm. 5 thoughtfully crafted courses expertly paired for $100. Featuring: Sainte - Magdeleine Mediterranee - one of the top 100 wines in the world. Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol - organically farmed, no weedkiller, but plowing by plows pulled by draft horses & digging by human hands, without any systemic product or synthetic chemical product. Chinon Cuvee Terroir - the winemaker describes it as “Full, sensual, even voluptuous". Les Pallieres Racines Appelation d'Origine Controlee - their Racines cuvée is made from craggy old vines rooted in clay-dominant soil, creating a silky, remarkable saline finish. Les Pallières - may very well be host to some of the most impressive terroirs of anywhere in the southern Rhône. Bugey - Cerdon La Cueille Sparking Wine - is anything but a serious wine. Its seductive deep pink glimmers in the glass, emanating ambrosial fragrances of alpine strawberries and roses.

    Dined at Raven for the first time for a late Sunday Brunch. There was ample parking off the street, which is much appreciated. The restaurant is small and quaint, but with a full sit at bar. We loved the eclectic decor and the laid back vibe. Although the brunch menu is limited, the food was absolutely delicious. When one item was not available, the chef offered to create a suitable substitute. That’s a great way to keep hungry customers happy. I would recommend Raven to anyone looking for a great local place.

    We were there for brunch. Limited drink menu, surprised there was no espresso martini given it being brunch. Settled for Irish Whiskey and the coffee was very weak. Pretty much was whiskey with cream. We had the bread pudding French toast, side of bacon and eggs Benedict. It was all very yummy and very nice presentation. Other than the drinks, we had an enjoyable brunch.

    Absolutely terrible New Years Eve- 8pm reservation- seated late- ok fine it’s NYE. Half of what we ordered they ran out of- forced to pay for the only steak they had left which was $20 more than what we ordered- no other proteins available. Out of 4 of us only 2 of us got food after an 1 hour 49 mins of staring at a blank table with only the expensive bottle of wine we ordered which we couldn’t really drink more of bc we had no food. Restaurants have bad nights I get it but there was zZERO service recover attempt. No bread on the table- no nothing- paid full price- didn’t even take off the additional fee we had to pay bc they only had an expensive cut- full price on the wine we couldn’t drink the rest of. Had to miss our secondary plans bc we we’re so late and wound up at the Truckyard where we had to spend an additional 140 bucks to feed the rest of us. So after $250 fo 2 steaks- 1 side and a bottle of wine we couldn’t fully drink we felt completely ripped off. It’s a shame bc the food we did get and only bc other people left was good. We were trying to get our check to leave also but food came out and I really needed to get something in me. Total disaster of a night. Head chef was an a-hole to our waitress too saying things like restaurants have bad nights deal with it. Totally unapologetic for not having nearly enough food. And they continued to sit people too.

    For New Years Eve dinner we chose Raven. We’d been there once before on a weekend and had a delightful experience. We still found the food to be absolutely top notch. The wine list is not long, but I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the varieties available. The service was likewise outstanding. Our need were accommodated, and we got just what we ordered timely and warm. However, the non-stop, 1980s-style gangsta rap proved to be overwhelming. We tried. We waited for it to change, but no luck. That was the soundtrack throughout our visit, so we left after we finished our appetizer. I’d like to say we’ll try again sometime, but life is short.

    We had an amazing experience at Raven for my husband’s birthday! We were treated promptly, treated to a round of champagne to start the night, had some wonderful steak, the BEST bread pudding, Thai curry, meatballs and more! They even accommodated my 2-year-old which is always a plus. The service was off the charts! Definitely returning here when we visit Oklahoma City again!

    Went here again. Pudding bread is a must have. Had mushrooms toast ladies loved it. Roast potatoes very good. They might have been under staff. Busy room with just one server trying to keep up but we were not in a hurry. Again a great place for a great meal. We will go here again.

    Food was decent. But I don’t think The Raven is designed for brunch. Better in the evening I bet. There were very few people there and still it took an extraordinary amount of time to be served. Steak Benedict was tasty as was bread pudding. Not particularly attractive, but tasty. Irish coffee was strong and espresso burnt, but it was good with food. Mimosa definitely did not use advertised fresh orange juice. We had to ask several times to get water refilled. I probably would not recommend for brunch, but will definitely go back in evening to try their wood fired steaks.

FAQs

Yes, guests report the team is accommodating and the chef will work with dietary needs. Call ahead to request seating preferences, accommodations for food allergies or celebration details. Because the menu is small and seasonal, giving the staff a heads‑up helps them prepare and personalize your visit.

Yes, Raven is frequently recommended for date night. Guests praise the cozy, intimate vibe, creative wood‑fired menu, thoughtful cocktails and attentive service, which make it feel special without being pretentious. Many guests mention celebrating birthdays, romantic dinners, and wine dinners here. Note that music can be lively at times, so if you want a very quiet table request an earlier seating or a spot away from the bar.

Portions vary but are generally moderate to generous and designed for sharing. Guests frequently mention hearty shared plates like a generous roasted squash, large oxtail mac & cheese, and a notably big bread pudding dessert. Entrées such as steaks and filets are full‑meal portions, though one guest found a ribeye thinner than expected. Because the menu is smaller and focused, many diners opt to order a few plates to share.

Raven is family‑friendly, guests regularly bring kids to brunch and celebrate birthdays and family meals here. The space is small and comfortable, with a relaxed neighborhood feel. Specific accessibility details (ramps, restroom accessibility) are not provided in the available information, so if you need particular accommodations call ahead and the staff is reported to be helpful and accommodating.

Busiest times are weekend brunches and weekend evenings, plus special events like wine dinners and holidays (Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day). Guests also report popular late‑night weekend hours. Quietest times tend to be weekday early evenings (Mon–Thu) and mid‑afternoon hours outside of happy hour. If you prefer a quieter meal, aim for a weekday dinner or early seating.

Warm, cozy and slightly upscale-casual, Raven blends a relaxed neighborhood vibe with refined, wood‑fired cooking. Guests praise the comfortable decor, local art, friendly staff and attentive service. Many describe it as intimate and great for dates or celebrations, though a few guests noted louder music at times and an occasionally strong smell in the foyer from an adjacent business.

They do open for major occasions, guests have reported dining at Raven on holidays like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, and the restaurant has hosted special prix‑fixe events (e.g., New Year’s Eve). Because holiday hours and menus can vary, call ahead or check announcements for specific holiday openings and special menus.

Brunch (Saturday–Sunday) is a standout, guests consistently praise the Sunday brunch and Mother’s Day offerings. For a quieter, more relaxed dinner visit on weekday evenings (Mon–Thu) when the restaurant tends to be less busy. If you want lively energy and cocktails, weekend nights and special events like wine dinners are popular but can be busier.

Yes, families and kids are welcome, and brunch is especially family‑friendly. Guests frequently bring children and celebrate birthdays and family gatherings here. There isn’t information about a dedicated kids’ menu, so for younger children consider an earlier seating or ask staff about menu flexibility.

Check ahead for holiday hours or special events.

Sunday for brunch is a top recommendation, guests consistently praise the Sunday/Mother’s Day brunch offerings. If you prefer a quieter dinner, choose a weekday (Mon–Thu). For a lively evening with cocktails and events, Friday or Saturday nights and special wine dinners are popular choices.

Smart casual is the recommended dress code. Guests typically go in nicely casual attire for brunch, date nights and special dinners, think neat, comfortable clothing that suits a relaxed but refined dining room.
