Good for the Gastro
An 18th and Boston pub serves upscale victuals just right of the pond By Katharine Kelly Definitely not a common household term when it comes to restaurants, gastropubs, originating in Britain, are public houses specializing in more than just the usual pub grub fare of alcohol, fish and chips, kidney pie, bangers and mash and pasties. Oscar's Gastropub (the word a combo of pub and gastronomy), lead by owner and executive chef Eli Huff, continues the British gastropub craze here in Tulsa. The atmosphere has a modern, casual, classy feel. The newly refinished wooden floor, the deep olive green and cream color scheme and the ceiling-to-floor curtain, which serves as a divider between the dining area and raised south side that can be used for somewhat private gatherings, all bring Oscar's up a notch to a place catering to more than a beer crowd. The evening I dined here, more people were still in their office attire of ties and slacks, dresses and dress suits. In fact, I, in my blue jeans, was almost underdressed. When my guest and I arrived, it took a minute or two for someone to seat us. Looking around, a few tables were occupied with large groups, a few people were at the bar, and the overall feel was warm and inviting. We were seated, and our server for the evening greeted us. We reviewed the drinks, finding 24 beers on tap and decided to sample Marshall Brewing Co.'s Atlas India Pale Ale ($5) and Sundown Wheat ($6). Both were very good choices, the Atlas having a kick, as my friend said, and the Wheat smooth and mellow.

The Sunnier Side of the Street
Downtown lunch spot offers the unexpected with its fresh Mexican meals By Katharine Kelly Mexican cuisine doesn't rank at the top of the list when thinking about healthy dining, but Libby Auld, owner of Eloté Café & Dining, double dares you to come in and try some of her food. Libby and her husband Jeramy dedicated themselves to opening a Mexican restaurant that offered a healthy experience. "Beans, rice and corn are healthy and nutritious," Libby said. Her mission was to prepare it in a way that would be healthy to her customers. "I want people to feel good about eating a burrito," she explained. And it seems she has done just that. Most Tulsans recognize the location of Eloté Café & Catering, 514 S. Boston, as the historic location of the much loved Nelson's Buffeteria, and Libby is happy to be in this convenient downtown location. An interesting concept at Eloté is the "green" look that customers find. "I was born 'green,'" said Libby. "I'm into this eco stuff. Growing up my dad hated to see us waste anything. He would compost, and I continue to do it."
