Tucked away in the heart of East Wharf is a restaurant with a real show-stopper of a view. The dining space and outdoor patio overlook the picturesque Lake Hefner, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. Yet the atmosphere is laid-back, comfortable, and decidedly unpretentious. In short, Redrock Canyon Grill in Oklahoma City represents everything we love about southwestern dining.

Redrock Canyon Grill has a handful of locations throughout the region, but we're partial to this waterfront setup. From the moment you arrive at Redrock Canyon Grill, you'll be mesmerized by those panoramic views. They draw you in, but it's the tantalizing aroma from the restaurant's kitchen that will keep you there. There's an open-fire rotisserie, and the roasted chicken is one of the signature dishes here.

Of course, that's just the start of the menu. Other popular orders included the stuffed poblano, iron skillet cornbread, wood-grilled sausages, Persimmon Hill meatloaf, bone-in pork chop, and the Hawaiian ribeye. No matter which dish you order, be sure to start your meal with the Nice Little House Salad. It may not sound so exciting from the name, but it's crafted with fresh goat cheese, Campari tomatoes, spiced pecans, and housemade cornbread croutons.

Redrock Canyon Grill is also open for weekend brunch if you're looking for something festive to enjoy with friends and family. Try the breakfast quesadilla, complete with scrambled eggs, jack cheese, sausage, jalapenos, serranos, and chipotle sour cream. In the mood for something sweet instead? The French toast is made with Challah bread and homemade whipped cream.

In addition to an outstanding menu, reviewers consistently note that service here is exceptional. After you've finished your meal, be sure to take an easy stroll to the lighthouse to catch one last glimpse of the picturesque lakefront.
