Great food and great atmosphere! I always enjoy running into clients, colleagues and friends at Neko. As a converted sushi lover about six years ago, I crave it nearly every other week. My favorite is the Red Canyon.

Boulevard Steakhouse
505 S Boulevard, Edmond
715-2333

One of my favorite Edmond restaurants for special occasions. I always seem to gravitate to the filet, and the creamed spinach is amazing. The attention to detail always ensures a terrific experience. Boulevard is a great place to treat out-of-town guests and show off some of our local flair.

The Mont
1300 Classen Blvd., Norman
329-3330

Heading south on occasion, I have to soak up the college-town feel and hit The Mont. To really experience the place, my recommendation would be to start out with the queso and a Sooner Swirl, if you're up to it.
After the sugar high from the Swirl, the burgers are great.
