Juliette Oyster Bar & Steakhouse

Excellent in every way. A special dining experience. Great place for a date or any celebration. Food was fresh and perfectly cooked/ seasoned. Try to save room for the cheese cake. It was surprisingly good. One could be split for 2 people easily. Lobster bisque is special. The grilled oysters and the fried ones are the best we've had. Raw were good too! We liked the hot sauce which they said is made in house. Oh, and you can make a meal out of a salad and a side or two. Generous portions. We'll be back!

The restaurant is cozy and elegant. The staff is friendly and courteous, but respectful. As for food, the crab cake was incredible, best I have ever had! The chef really knows how to prepare a steak, too. My porterhouse was cooked to perfection and topped with an exquisite miso marrow butter.

Such a special place in Norman. Staff is excellent, friendly,calm, knowledgeable. Potato croquettes, filet, duck, beverages... All very very good. Beautiful presentation. Ambience with soft lighting, low soft music. Fine dining.

Oysters in Oklahoma? Yes! And redfish. Short ribs were fantastic. We’ll be back. Gyanna was so lovely too! She took good care of us.

Very nice ambience and great food! The oysters were wonderful! Entrees were so good, and the fries are a must try! Service was fabulous! We can’t wait to go back!

My wife, her best friend, and I went to their soft opening. First impressions of the establishment. INTIMATE! As soon as we walked into the establishment, we were greeted by such friendly hostess/waitress. To the left wall is the bar with counter. They had four beers on tap so I was able to get my Modelo. The wife and her best friend got some form of alcoholic drink which I do not know the name of, they both enjoyed it. It was toward the end of cocktail hour when we arrived, but we were able to enjoy some shrimp, cheese, and crackers while we waited for our table. When it was our turn to be seated, we were escorted to the 2nd level (which overlooked the lower level if you were standing up or sitting next to the railing). The mix of brick and wall plaster made it feel authentic Norman architecture which was pretty cool. Being that it was a soft opening, we had the friday version of their menu. Our meals consisted of the following to include our reviews. Potato Croquettes - Nice crunchy fried potato ball with custom sauce which included gochujung. PURE DELICIOUSNESS AND CRUNCHY! Lobster Bisque - Delicious! would be paired great with bread! Half dozen raw oyster - no explanation needed! It's oysters! Crab cakes - Delicious! Crunchy outside, moist inside and cooked perfectly! 10oz Sirloin Steak (medium rare) - Cooked to perfection! Much better than how I cook steaks. Flavor is rich and NOT overpowering (in regards to the seasoning) Beef Fat Fries - tastes like In and Out fries (love it!) Bourbon Bread Pudding - crunchy ends, soft interior, with hint of orange. Combine with Chocolate Pot de Creme for an explosion on your taste buds! Chocolate Pot de Creme - Sweet, and rich! Combine with Bourbon Bread Pudding for an explosion on your taste buds! The co-owner (LeRhonda) is a sweetheart who ensured her customers and staff were well taken care of, and is a pleasure to conversate with! We loved our experience at Juliette's and will DEFINITELY go back and support!

Came in last night, on a remarkably busy night for the restaurant. Even so, waitstaff was attentive and worked hard to get us our food and drinks in a timely manner. It was delicious, as always, and I know Juliette has amazing potential to succeed in the new year!

This is now my favorite restaurant in the Norman area. My wife and I love this new place and the food. This is such a great addition to the downtown Norman area. My wife and I look forward to coming here again and trying out the rest of the menu. Go check it out for yourself and enjoy a great experience!

Absolutely fabulous meal in Downtown Norman. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Service was on point. White tablecloths. Real, house made cheesecake. Upscale date night didn’t disappoint!

Life long Normanite and I’ve missed McNellie’s being downtown for so long! But this is a great place to end up where it used to be. The food was absolutely delicious! I’m not an oyster fan but the chargrilled oysters MADE me love them. The filet with the miso butter may be one of the best I’ve had in the OKC Metro. Our server Linh had the perfect recommendations and great service! 10/10 will be back and should be on top of any list for nicer dinners in Norman

We found our new staple restaurant when in Norman. The food was exceptional and the drinks were phenomenal! We had the raw oysters, caesar salad, shrimp pasta, filet, and redfish. Every item we ordered was delicious. Margarita was one of the best I've ever been served. Staff was very friendly. Great ambience and decorating. We will definitely be back next time we are in Norman.

We were visiting from out of town and checked out this newly opened establishment in the heart of downtown Norman. This steakhouse and oyster bar combines the best of both worlds: perfectly seared steaks and fresh, briny oysters that practically taste like the ocean. The ambiance is elegant yet warm and relaxed- wood and exposed brick with a mix of industrial accents and soft lighting. The steak options are solid- we had the ribeye and the NY strip which were both well-marbled and cooked to perfection over hardwood. The wood-fired oysters were rich and indulgent, and the raw oysters were fresh with just the right amount of brine. The pan-seared scallops were tender and perfectly seared. The sides we really enjoyed (broccolini and beef fat fries) were flavorful and well-proportioned. And don't forget the decadent desserts! We ordered all 3 selections they had that evening but really got into the Basque cheesecake. For a new opening, service is impressively smooth (attentive staff without being overbearing), the flavors confident and the attention to detail evident. Juliette is a gem for anyone who appreciates a great steak and fresh oysters in an atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. Whether you're here for a date night, special celebration or just a casual evening with friends, this steakhouse and oyster bar is worth every penny. Will definitely return to this place when we are in Norman again!

Juliette Oyster Bar & Steakhouse in Norman absolutely impressed me. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt upscale but relaxed—perfect for a nice dinner without being stuffy. The staff was friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu. I started with the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. My sirloin steak came out perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My wife’s red fish with the accompanying sauce was amazing. The sides were just as good, especially the mashed potatoes. Dessert was a rich Basque cheesecake that is the best I have ever had. Everything—from the food to the service—felt top-notch. It’s definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Norman. I’ll be back soon.

Absolutely incredible restaurant. From the first bite, the steak was perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The seasoning was spot-on, the sides were just as impressive, and the service made the whole experience feel top-tier. Easily one of those places you keep thinking about after you leave. Can’t wait to go back. 🥩🔥

Best Blue Cheese Burger of my life! We went to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday and we arrived during happy hour. We had several plates of oysters and appetizers which were all fantastic. I ordered a happy hour burger bar, which was beyond delicious. This place is definitely worth a try and a new fixture on my radar!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem recently and let me tell you, this restaurant is what Norman needs. The atmosphere is delightfully dark and moody. The service team is attentive and impressive. The food, the food is mind blowing. I literally dream of the scallops. We have been multiple times and ordered a spread each time. From the oysters to the wedge salad. Everything is fresh and made in house. Even the candied bacon! The short rib is delicious but the filets are impeccable. No steak knife needed. They’re like butter. We’ve been to restaurants across the country and this restaurant is comparable to any of them. I can’t wait to see how this place succeeds after having some time under their belt. Being open only 2 months and having this level of food and service, it’s impressive.

My wife and I were on our way to another eatery in Norman when we saw this place and thought we’d give it a shot. The food was incredible, some of the best we’ve had in Oklahoma. We had the oyster sampler and bread sampler prior to a meal of the shrimp pasta and redfish dinners - Amazing. The service provided by Mattie was top notch and she was as sweet as she could be but everything we ordered took a very long time including drinks. They’ve only been open 3 weeks and there was an art festival going on so we’ll definitely try again.

I had an outstanding meal featuring a lineup of beautifully prepared dishes. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the beef tartare silky and perfectly seasoned, and the fall salad added a bright, seasonal touch. The crab cakes were packed with real crab and cooked just right, while the steak was tender, flavorful, and expertly done. Our 3yr old gobbled up the lobster bisque and some buttered noodles. Overall, every plate / drink was thoughtful, balanced, and delicious—an experience I’d happily repeat.

Juliette Oyster Bar & Steakhouse exceeded every expectation. The filet was cooked perfectly, the mac and cheese was insanely good, and the pasta was one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. Jason was our server the first time and set the bar so high with how friendly and attentive he was. When we came back, Charles took care of us and was just as amazing. Jason recognized us right away and talked with us like we were old friends, which made the experience feel so personal. Outstanding food, incredible service, and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to return.

I celebrated my birthday at Juliette’s, and it was truly such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were seated in a cozy, intimate booth that made the evening feel special and personal. The atmosphere is just beautiful and full of charm. We started with the potato croquettes, lobster bisque, and the wedge salad—and the bacon on that salad is to die for! For dinner, I had the surf and turf, and my husband ordered the New York strip. Both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We shared the fries, which were crisp and flavorful. Our waiter, Jason, was top-notch—professional, attentive, and so friendly. The host team up front was also amazing, and welcoming . We even had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, LeRhonda, who was such a doll. She took time to talk with us and made us feel so appreciated. And whatever you do—don’t skip the Basque cheesecake with lemon curd and blueberries. It’s the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Juliette’s truly exceeded all expectations. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the outstanding service, it’s the kind of place you can’t wait to come back to. Highly recommend for any special occasion—or just a night out done right.

Our experience was wonderful! Our server, Maddie, was very attentive and helpful. She had knowledge of their products (i.e. the different types/servings of oysters and which type seemed to be the most popular that day). She was very helpful, and we were pleased to meet one of the owners as well. We will most definitely be back with more family members and friends!!

My hubby and I rarely get down to Norman, but now that we've eaten at Juliette's we have more reason to do so! 😋 We started off with their warm and smoky sourdough accompanied with butter and shallots. We split their Fall salad, redfish, and petite steak. 🥗🥩😋 Everything was so delicious and seasoned perfectly! 💯✨ And to top it off, we finished with their chocolate pot de creme which my husband said "I would drive 30 minutes alone just for this dessert" and he doesn't even like sweets. 🍫🍮😍 So if you’re in of a new date night spot, I highly recommend Juliette's ❤️

Juliette has been amazing! The freshest of the fresh! Food is amazing-atmosphere is also amazing! One take back was there are a lot of shell’s left in the oysters from shucking both times I went-which I’ve never experienced anywhere else. However that didn’t stop me! Still at 10/10 would come back again and again

We had our company holiday dinner here and it was a genuinely great night. The indoor balcony seating was a perfect setup for a group, the food across the table was excellent, and the wine list felt thoughtfully curated rather than generic, which I really appreciated. Service was solid and attentive without being overbearing. I have been around this town a long time, I manage a business downtown, and I have worked in fine dining, so I tend to notice when a place is aiming higher than just getting plates out the door. Opening a restaurant is never easy, and it is normal for things to evolve as a place finds its rhythm. What stood out to me here is that it is clear the people behind Juliette truly care about Norman and care about food, and that matters. This feels like a place with real potential that is being built with intention, and I am rooting for it. We had a lot of fun, we ate well, and we will absolutely be back.

My wife and I have been wanting to try Juliette since the day it opened, and we finally made it in for what I’m certain will be the first of many visits. Parking was easy right on the street, and even though we stopped in on a whim without a reservation, we were lucky enough to find two seats at the bar, which offers the full menu. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere pulled us in. The space is beautiful—warm, intimate, and thoughtfully designed. I’ve traveled quite a bit, and I love the charm of those long, narrow restaurants you find in New York or Chicago. Juliette captures that same energy up front, with a more traditional dining room tucked away in the back. It couldn’t have been executed better. Our bartender was young but absolutely top‑tier. His service was attentive without being intrusive, and his Old Fashioned was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. He was easy to talk to and genuinely elevated the entire experience. A second bartender came on later with that same polished, welcoming presence. Even though she didn’t make our drinks, her service and conversation were just as impressive. The menu made it hard to choose—everything sounded incredible—but I went with the filet and cheddar grits. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and practically melted in my mouth. The grits were on another level entirely. My wife had already eaten earlier, so she ordered the wedge salad and still ended up stealing bites of my meal. The salad was crisp, cold, and fresh—exactly what it should be. One thing that really stood out was the owner. He was hands‑on with his staff while still taking time to greet guests, and you could feel the pride he has in the place. The level of training and care shows in every interaction. It made the whole experience feel personal and genuinely local. There isn’t a single thing I would change about our visit—other than wishing I had the stomach capacity to try more of the menu. I recommend Juliette wholeheartedly. Norman is lucky to have a steakhouse of this caliber.

First off, service was amazing! Food was spaced out nicely! I don't even like oysters and the chef's suprise (oysters) was a delight! Each dish was unique and full of flavor! Atmosphere was upscale but laid back. The owners were gracious and made sure the whole experience was top notch! Theron is a master of his craft which is evident in each dish! 100% Wil return! Fantastic NYE dinner! Norman is lucky to have an establishment like this!

We had a fantastic experience at Juliette Oyster Bar in Norman! The Old Fashioned was perfectly made — smooth and balanced. We started with the crab cake and lobster bisque, both of which were absolutely delicious. The filet was cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and full of flavor. But the highlight of the night was the outstanding service from Jason. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the evening extra special with a super cool wine presentation — he poured the wine, swirled and rolled it in the glass, then laid it down without spilling a drop. Such a fun and impressive touch! Juliette Oyster Bar has great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be back!

Steaks can be cooked improperly so send back if so. Outside of that it’s really good.

This place is good. There is just a few things they need to tweek. The prices are high, but the food is good. Our server was Flora, hope I spelled it right. She was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant. The host who was at the stand, needs to be trained on greeting customers. For what you pay and the environment of the establishment, you should be greeted with a pleasant tone and a smiling face. She seemed like she just didn't want to be there. The togo boxes also need to be upgraded. The leftovers of a $300-$400 meal should not be boxed up in cheap Styrofoam that can spill when knocked over( my wife got Brussel sprout juice all over her in the car) But those are all things that can be improved. We will definitely be back

We have been waiting for Juliette’s to open. My partner and I love oysters. We just returned from the Florida Keys, when we were craving oysters and decided it was the time to head to Juliette’s. Wine selection is lacking but the Pinot Grigio I had was pretty good. The mixed drinks my partner had, he said that they were very well put together and tasted good. We ordered a dozen oysters, all PEI/NE cold water because those are our favorites. The taste of all of the ones we had were AMAZING. Very fresh. The problem? The shucking ability of the chef was very much lacking. Every oyster we had to remove shell from our mouths… least twice per oyster. To the point where we did not eat the last two because of the issue. We also love what the French call “radis au beurre”…which we have made at home ourselves many times. A baguette or sourdough, European butter, and thinly sliced radishes. It’s amazing. However, the appetizer we ordered “BREAD & BUTTER: sweet cream butter, radish, cornichon, sea salt, local sourdough”. I will agree that maybe we should have asked more about the dish, however in a steak and oyster bar with bread and butter and radishes on the menu…you assume that it will be more than what we received. We received overly smoky sourdough, which I was hoping to love because it said it was local. Radishes cut in junks. Softened butter. Yes, the cornichons were there and yummy. But the focus for us was the bread butter and radishes. I ended up asking for a sharp knife so that I could thinly slice the radish chunks we were given. It was very disappointing. The shells. The Bread and Butter with radishes. The limited wine menu…I love a really good rosé. We will try again soon…hopefully it will be better. No wait to sit…but we always sit at the bar if we can.

⭐️ Juliette Oyster Bar and Steakhouse – Honest Feedback Juliette has a lot of potential, and I truly hope they succeed. We visited on a cold winter night, and the biggest issue we experienced was the temperature inside. The air conditioner was blowing very cold air, and even after being moved from our first table, it still felt freezing. We also heard several other tables mentioning how cold it was, so this seems like something worth addressing. The food had some high points—the wedge salad was excellent, the short rib was good, and the sides were all great. My lamb was cooked well, though it could have used a bit more seasoning, or a sauce or something and the lobster bisque arrived on the lukewarm side. Nothing major, just areas that could be tightened up. The other thing that stood out was the very wobbly table. When I went to cut my meal, the table shook enough to slosh all the drinks. For a fine dining restaurant, little details like that matter. The service was polite, though a bit quiet and not quite the level of interaction you’d typically expect at this price point. Still, everyone was kind and accommodating when we needed to move tables. Overall, Juliette seems to be on its way, but not quite there yet. With a few adjustments—especially the temperature and some fine-tuning in the dining experience—I think they could really shine. I wish them the best and hope they continue improving.

I think this place has an excess of potential but is struggling to meet the challenge. My party tried a wide array of dishes on our last visit, and the quality was extremely varied across the spread. The oysters were fantastic; we tried the chargrilled oysters and the raw. Both were absolutely fantastic, better than some of the restaurants back home in my coastal town. The bread and butter were also excellent, well-made, and well-toasted. We ordered the bone-in pork chop, the braised short rib, and the pasta Juliette. The pork chop was well-cooked, almost perfectly seasoned, though it could have done with an extra punch of salt. The short ribs were definitely the biggest disappointment. I have made it a habit to try this dish at many different restaurants as I love the intersection of tenderness, savoriness, while still having a great chew. Unfortunately, for $55, this certainly didn't meet expectations. Pun intended. I'm not sure if the meat was cut incorrectly, or if a different cut of meat was substituted, but to be perfectly honest, it tasted and had the texture of roast beef, and not in a pleasant way. This leads me to two conclusions: either they used chuck roast for the meat and advertised it as short rib, or they didn't cook it correctly. The pasta Juliette was quite fantastic. Overall, I would return and hope that they've improved in the interim.

I really wanted to like this place because we love oysters and frequent Sedelias in Okc. The atmosphere is great! They really made it feel upscale and beautiful from the previous business which was Inkfire Ramen. We came into Juliette's to get oysters and small bites. The oysters were good.. the issue was the amount of accoutrements that were presented. One lemon slice for 12 oysters. We ordered two dozen oysters and received two small lemon wedges. We asked about the oysters and where they were from and the waiter said he didn’t know because they rotate so often. I feel like if you claim to be an oyster bar your staff should be well trained to explain where each oyster is from as well as more than one lemon slice. The fries were fine. Brussels sprouts were fine. Macaroni and cheese was fine. The asparagus was $15 dollars for 5 asparagus. It had a nice char but minimal flavor. Overall the food is fine but not worth the price.

First time I came here I was blown away! The steak was amazing, chargrilled oysters were amazing,Mac and cheese so good and I also tried the grits which were fantastic and I hate grits! Second time I came here it was completely different. Service was SO slow and rarely checking on us. Chargrilled oysters were still delicious. The lobster bisque was lukewarm but had good flavor. My daughter who loves salmon wouldn’t even eat the salmon she got bc it had 0 flavor. I tried the pork chop and grits but was super disappointed and had two bites. The grits were completely different than when I had them the first time. For how much we spent on dinner I definitely expected more. This place has so much potential and am really rooting for it. I will definitely try again! Hoping it was just an off night.

Edit due to response: The server did not offer to replace it. I asked if this was how all cocktails were served and he just shrugged his shoulders and said “I don’t know”. The meal was good and the service was fine. Started dinner with an $18 cocktail that was literally less than an ounce of liquid. See picture. Wanted to love this place. Spent over $300 for two people and just didn’t feel like it was worth it.

We wanted to love it and realize it was newly open but they are seriously over their heads and can’t command the prices they want with the service and lack of food and beverage quality that we experienced. Didn’t get initial drinks for 45 minutes. The expensive red Wine came out almost frozen. Steak was dry and not the correct temperature. We only got 6 of the 12 oysters we ordered. The bread literally came out burned. (Which we paid $12 for a couple os slices of bread and a little butter and a cut up radish). The chef came out and apologized acknowledging that the steak had “laid around too long due to how busy they were “. The manager was not managing the situations and we saw several tables who never got their food. Hopefully the managers will control the amount of people they try to serve for the next few weeks until they can give the service and food quality that they want to give. Unfortunately we won’t be back due to some of the comments the manager made making the situation much worse. We had compassion and understanding of the opening issues until we had the experience with the owner/manager. Also watch your bill. They put an automatic gratuity on our bill and we were only a table of 5.

Was looking forward to trying this restaurant but was disappointed. Our waiter brought the wrong drink out for us and seemed confused at first when we corrected it. My husband ordered his Ribeye Medium and it was cooked rare but was burnt on top. I ordered the scallops and they were incredibly chewy. After we finished our meal I walked to the bathroom and slipped on water (there was no sign or anything) I had to grab on the side railing otherwise I would've fell. The cook witnessed it and at first said he didn't see any water. After looking further you could see a trail of water coming from the bathroom. He told me he would have the owners talk to me. The woman bartending came up and apologized. We told her how big of an issue this was and she apologized but just brushed it off. She said "I'm not sure if it makes you feel any better but my husband slipped the other day" It did not make us feel better and was disappointing to be brushed off so casually. We will not be back.

Horrible service. I thought the bread pudding was leftover stuffing from Christmas. lol. If you love oysters, that’s their forte. Make sure you get a cocktail menu (we didn’t) and don’t stray from it: a margarita is too complicated.

We ordered Chargrilled Oyster and Fettuccine Pasta forgot how they called it. Order came more than 1hr. We pay $ 120 + tip then saw my bank now they charge extra $60 for what? I will call my bank to get it back. Poor service and food was not good at all. I’m trying to call them but phone number isn’t working.

Ok the food was good. But not that good. The oysters are the only reason to come here. Everything else is overpriced for the delivery. We got 4 oysters, I got the lobster bisque she got the 8oz steak we had to order separate sides for her steak because for $45 it came with nothing. There was one bite of lobster in the entire bow of soup. The drinks were tiny small and almost $20 a piece. Over all we both left hungry and spent $200 for two people. Later on the bisque gave me a stomach ache just to top it off. The people that like to eat at places like this are the same type to tape a banana to the wall and call it art. I understand high end restaurants are like sometimes. It was worth it one time maybe But prolly won't go back.
