A Taste of Oklahoma City

When it comes to Oklahoma fine dining, the Colcord Hotel is in the center of it all, starting with the hotel's own restaurant, Soleil.

At Soleil, the ambiance is chic - featuring hand-blown glass lighting and stylish furnishings - and the food is noteworthy. Diners enjoy innovative Continental fare highlighted by a wine list with international and domestic selections. In fact, a local newspaper reviewed the hotel's restaurant saying "the lighting, décor, oyster bar, and the tables' positions facing Robinson and Sheridan avenues combine for an atmosphere that's part feast, part theater."

For relaxing and entertainment in Oklahoma City, guests will find the XO Lounge with New York City style on the lower level of the hotel, offering a variety of cocktails and wines for the after-five crowd. With its sophisticated feel, Oklahoma City's social set comes here for a late-night drink after a concert or night on the town. It is undoubtedly the hippest scene in Oklahoma City.

Soleil and XO are independently owned and operated by Oklahoma City's famed Buthion brothers. Alain Buthion, 43, and his brother Michel Buthion, 47, took over La Baguette Bistro (7408 N. May Avenue) in 1988. The brothers added their own distinctive style and French flair to the restaurant which features fresh seafood and an extensive wine list. People are drawn to the warm ambience, the modern French fare, and the culinary expertise of the Buthion brothers. With Alain as the Chef de Cuisine of the restaurant, La Baguette has earned a devoted following over the years, due in large part to the culinary expertise and distinctive personalities of the Buthion brothers.
