Nice formal dining. Staff was nice and service prompt. Good quality ingredients and mild seasoning. Almost too mild. Overall a nice restaurant for occasional formal dining.
One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! The oyster Rockefeller were unbelievable! The Chilean Seabass with crusted mushrooms on top was absolutely incredible. Cooked to perfection. The atmosphere and the service were absolutely perfect. we had a party of four, everyone loved what they got.
If you like an intimate experience with good food, then you've found the right place. A reservation is recommended and very much encouraged (required). I decided to visit Bodean for my first time on what could be one of the busiest days of the year, Valentines Day. Keep in mind that this is also my anniversary to my wife of 8 years.
Not only does the day alone mean a lot to my wife and I, but my father who passed back on Christmas 2022 wanted to take us to Bodean's to enjoy some of the best salmon he has had locally. Outside of the two major reasons of visiting, we were excited and love seafood. We had no issues with our reservation and were promptly seated. The place was dimly lit yet had lighting that focused directly on the table. White table cloth, quiet, and a fireplace with a fire flickering nearby.
Our waitress promptly grated us with a smile. We simply ordered water's and no appetizers. After a short review of the menu, we knew exactly what we wanted. The wife went with the scallops while I went the sea bass. After a short wait, our entrees arrived. The food was not only prepared properly but looked like art on the plate.
Freshness was the first thing you noticed, followed by the simple yet complex pairing of flavors. Scallops were seared with care placed in a light red plate of pureed strawberry sauce.
My husband and I dined here for our 37th wedding anniversary. It was absolutely wonderful. Every part of our evening was memorable! The service was fantastic. The food was incredible. It is a very romantic place. I've lived in Tulsa all of my life and had never been there. Believe me, we will be back! The lobster and shrimp bisque was so tasty. Lots of chunks of lobster and shrimp. I ordered the lobster tailS. Two huge tails! My husband had the sea bass. They brought a complimentary creme Brule for dessert. Everyone wished us a happy anniversary. 😊
Fantastic experience. The manager Candy came out to make sure everything was on point. Our waiter Jimmy did a great job as well. Our Ahi tuna was a little bit on the spicy side without question comped us. The ribeye steak was probably one of the best I’ve had. One of the best eating experiences that I’ve had in a long time and I have eaten world class meals all around the world. Cleanest best smelling public bathroom I think Ive ever used!
Normally, one does not expect to find fresh, high quality seafood in Oklahoma. Fortunately, if that is what you are searching for, this restaurant delivers! Our food was excellent, with each dish tasting delicious and fresh. The house drinks and desert was were also very satisfying. The staff was also very attentive and helpful, providing helpful recommendations. If you are looking for top-notch seafood in landlocked Oklahoma, look no further.
Bodean is our favorite restaurant to go for the past 31 years for our anniversary. (We live in OKC and drive to Tulsa just for the amazing food and service!). The crab cake appetizer and Lobster bisque is to die for. My wife had the Hazelnut Crusted Halibut & I had the Sesame Crusted Gulf Yellow Fin Tuna. Wow! Both of our mouths were singing for joy with the freshness and exquisitely prepared flavors. The cocktails are top notch and worth it. Michelle, our server was personable, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful attentive memorable service that is always on par with the classiness of the Bodean!
Atmosphere was great for a private celebration with dim but plenty lighting. 16 oz ribeye was very tender and cooked as desired medium-rare. Chilean Sea Bass was the star of the two dishes and was perfect temperature (just under too hot) and so flaky it practically melted in your mouth.
Ultimate dining experience

Absolutely delicious! Probably one of my favorite places to eat. Food is perfectly cooked, seasoned and most spectacularly fresh ! I could eat here everyday. Amazing staff that are always attentive. The environment is calm and rich, especially when the live music is performing. Smoothing jazz, seafood that is perfectly done. Bodean is the place for you.
