James Beard Award-winning Chef Andrew Black makes his way back to Skirvin Hotel to open his newest restaurant concept, Perle Mesta. The restaurant will be his first concept to open since winning a James Beard award as 2023’s Best Chef Southwest and will be located on the first floor of the historic Skirvin Hotel (One Park Avenue, Oklahoma City). Perle Mesta will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner service and the cuisine will reflect Chef Black’s continued exploration of what he calls “possibility cuisine,” a concept he attributes to his style of cooking that explores and embraces the endless possibilities of ingredients, flavors, techniques, and cultural influences. In this context, possibility cuisine involves chefs pushing the boundaries of traditional cooking and experimenting with unconventional ingredients, fusion cuisine, molecular gastronomy, or avant-garde techniques. It may involve a sense of creativity, innovation, and openness to exploring new culinary horizons.

Overall I'm giving Tellers 5 stars. The food was very good, but if you're just wanting the best Italian food in OKC and don't care as much about the environment, I'd say check out Gabriella's. The environment at Tellers is unique in a good way and worth going at least once just to see it. The service was exceptional. The prices were perhaps just a little high for what you get. Definitely recommend eating here if you haven't already.

Very welcoming as soon as you walk in. Great atmosphere over all. Our server Carson was top notch and very friendly and playful , he gave us a great experience. Servers besides him brining our food/ appetizers were also insanely nice. Food was DELICIOUS and I’m not a pizzeria kind of person. The dessert was one of the best I’ve ever had and my boyfriend and I will be making this place our regular spot. 100/10 definitely recommend. Big shout out to Rudy for recommending this place to me.
