Restaurant Review - Iguana Mexican Grill
I attended the Oklahoma Today issue premier yesterday at the Iguana. Great party, A-list crowd. Not a typical restaurant visit, but let me share my observations. It's very convenient to downtown (9 NW 9th St, free on-site parking). The place was packed to the gills for the shindig, and consequently very noisy, I suspect not so much during a normal lunch. Very nice local, old brick building, shaded by large trees (probably a great outside sit). The interior is repurposed brick commercial space, nicely done and a very comfortable floorplan. The food was great, especially the roast pork tenderloin dressed with chimichurri. The other appetizers I samples were also good. I didn't have a sit down meal, so I can't speak to the selection, but the old Iguana on Western had Mexican themed food with a twist here and there. The service was great, the servers seemed happy to be doing their thing; I think that's what makes for good service, and makes it pleasant to interact with them. I'll go back for lunch, or a date with my wife, so in the binary evaluation process, go back or not, Iguana wins another visit.
