Rococo Restaurant and Fine Wine
2824 N Pennsylvania

With the freshest seafood in town and an extensive wine list, Rococo has become a destination in this rejuvenated city. Grab a spot on one of the couches by the fireplace, sit back and listen to live jazz - a meal is an adventure without an admission price. An off-menu item to order: paella. I lived in Spain, where this meal is a delicacy, but I've never had one as good as here.

The Library Bar & Grill
607 W Boyd, Norman
366-7465

Catching my eye often is a restaurant with a great patio, and The Library delivers this with flying colors. The mix of great food and local brews, paired with the relaxing patio atmosphere, makes it a staple for locals looking to wind down with great conversation - perfect for sharing delicious pizzas, nachos and sandwiches.

Meiki's Italian American
6916 NW Expressway
721-5522

I like to claim that I remember going to Meiki's before they were "discovered." Now, having moved the restaurant twice due to the surplus of patrons, this family owned and operated restaurant rests on NW Expressway and Rockwell, and still boasts what I say are the best calzone and hand-cut French fries in the city.
