Guide Review - Upscale Dining in Bricktown
Mickey Mantle was a baseball legend and an Oklahoma native, so it's only fitting that the restaurant that bears his name be right next to the ballpark and feature one of the best fine dining experiences in Bricktown. I'm a big Cattlemen's Steakhouse fan, as are many others of course, but for having a steak in an elegant atmosphere, there aren't many better than Mickey Mantle's.
Beautiful and contemporary, the interior is accented with deep cherry wood along some walls and brick along others. The restaurant is well-lit but still has a nice intimate feel, and of course there's the baseball memorabilia, from trophies to photos and more, tracing the life of its namesake.
Choose a table in the main dining room and have a white linen table setting. Head to the lounge for the live music and get a more relaxed atmosphere and a small, wood table for two. Either way, you'll get the same great food selection.

Menu Delights
The Mickey Mantle's wine list is quite extensive, and you're sure to find one that will go perfectly with your particular entrée. Choose among appetizers such as potato crusted calamari, snow crab claws, or a very good sun-dried tomato & artichoke dip. I recommend an appetizer as there are some very unique and tasty options not to be missed here such as small lamb chops with parmesan.
In addition, the entrée portions themselves are not exactly huge. Steaks and seafood dishes don't come with a side item such as baked potato, salad or vegetables. Those must be ordered off a separate "Á La Carte" portion of the menu. This makes for a situation in which your bill can be quite large, so be prepared.
All the typical cuts of steak are available, of course, but one of my favorites is the Pepper Steak, a 10 oz. cut in a peppercorn and cognac sauce. There are also some fantastic seafood selections available such as crab, sea bass and Ahi tuna. If you're going all out and have the room, grab the filet mignon and lobster tail together.

Beyond the Food
Even more than the great menu items, Mickey Mantle's succeeds as a go-to spot in Bricktown. A popular place for the evening scene in Oklahoma City, Bricktown almost demands more from its restaurants than simply good food and nice atmosphere. Visitors also want a memorable experience.
Mickey Mantle's meets that challenge with unique and often extraordinary live music every Friday and Saturday during the evening hours. Jazz and blues are frequent styles, from my experience, and you can catch some great local acts as well. Put it all together, and you have one of the better dining options in the metro.
