Millicent Brasserie

A truly memorable dinner. Vincent really makes it a superb audiovisual experience with a theme linking all the dishes. The food is innovative and very much of international fusion style. Very adventurous indeed !

Chef Vincent did a fine job preparing the evening’s dinner. The food was very good, not spectacular but the dining experience as a whole needs a lot more refinement and changes. The restaurant is very small with two long tables that accommodate 24 guests. Even though we were fortunate to be sitting on the end of the table across from a very nice couple I would definitely have preferred to have had our own table. There were other couples sitting in silence.
The décor is… well… let’s say interesting. There is a screen that shows a variety of images throughout dinner. The «theme» I thought was supposed to be Paris but the music and images included everything from fireworks playing during God Bless America to Happy Birthday to a Christmas song with snowflakes… stick with one theme and do that theme a lot better. Also, currently the restaurant does not have it’s liquor license, which we knew and we were ok with but I would definitely like more drink options other than water and just ice tea. I am currently pregnant so I was not looking for booze but lemonade, juice, a caffeine free tea option, a soft drink, something else would have been nice. There was not even decaffeinated coffee. Also, there definitely needs to be silverware changes thoughout the meal. I had to pick my fork out a sauce filled plate and no steak knife was provided. Overall I really liked Chef Vincent and he is working on providing his guests with a nice dinner (as in the food) but the experience as a whole is not worth the price at the moment.

DON’T FEED INTO THE HYPE!!!
My wife and I recently (Jan ’15) moved here from Chicago, and having experienced some amazing food all over the world, we were super excited to try this place; especially since it was boasting «3 Michelin star inspired dishes.» Having dined at a vast array of Michelin star rated restaurants, including a 3 star (L2O in Chicago specializing in molecular gastronomy), I was looking forward to the experience and to have a restaurant of this style in Tulsa.
I set myself up for failure with the expectation that this was going to be anything close to a Michelin star rated establishment. Although the food was OK, it left a lot to be desired. In fact, as an amateur chef, I feel I could have executed each dish better than Chef Tran.
If I had to choose one word to describe the evening it would have to be «UNDERWHELMING»
The location is extremely far (by Tulsa standards) from any «life,» and the restaurant is located in a quite unpleasant looking strip mall in a very industrial feeling location in Broken Arrow. The décor inside and out is truly a joke. No signs anywhere to lead you to the correct suite within the strip mall, and the interior was clashing so much that I had a hard time just sitting there prior to the service.
The restaurant was set up into 2 rows (made up of 3 square tables pushed together) of tables that forced you into a communal dining situation. Luckily we were seated across from a very pleasant couple (which shared with us the best dining locations in Tulsa throughout the course of the night). The couples next to us were very quiet and awkward, which would have made the dining experience terrible if seated with them. This type of setup is not ideal for couple dining and I wish there were more single tables where you can enjoy the evening as a couple.
The place settings were very generic, with a glass plate and fairly standard utensils — nothing special here.
Glasses were very standard glassware; no crystal, or funky styling — just plain.
Beverage options included water, iced tea, hot tea, and coffee (offered with dessert only) for free; and a very bleak selection of standard beer options for a minimal additional fee. No decaf tea or coffee options were available; and no thought was put into drink pairing with the meal (if you can’t have wine, then a tea or juice pairing — I mean figure something out to wow me…). I had hot tea. It was standard… no selection of Teavana teas or anything.
The chef came out to present the evening and explained that we were to be taking a trip to Paris (a location he himself claimed never to have visited… WHAT?). This; however, was a nice personal touch to evening. He introduced every course personally, and explained basically what was written on the menu cards (printed on a home printer, and taped to a piece of card stock). In reality, you need to just do away with the menu, especially if you are not going to put any effort in generating something pleasing to the eye. Chef Tran also explained that he had programmed an audio/​visual display for the evening to accompany the meal and fully immerse us into the dining experience (which was lackluster at the most).
The A/​V experience consisted of two projectors displaying random images synced to random music, which at least 50% of had nothing to do with Paris — what a disappointment. Also, the happy birthday and Christmas songs were way out of place, and really just made this place feel like a circus.
Prior to the first course, the staff pour water into random vases of flowers that had dry ice inside to create a mist billowing out of them — be aware that this is the extent of the molecular gastronomy being utilized throughout the night. One word — cheesy.
All in all, I ate everything. The food was not terrible, but the little things that were overlooked really irritated me to the core.
As for the service — the wait staff was nice enough, but I could not get over their continuous request for me, and others, to keep our utensils, especially after they are swimming in the middle of the plate… COME ONE NOW– JUST BRING ME A NEW FORK PLEASE!
At the end of the night Chef Tran explained that he made his living programming software and that cooking is his passion, so he decided to open up this restaurant. It is clear that the chef is not a trained chef, and has spent absolutely zero time in a real Michelin kitchen. As much as I appreciate the attempt, the night was a complete failure for me. The only positive is that I was full at the end of the night, but I will only remember it for the what it was; A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT.

Delicious! This is not your average restaurant, this is a dinning experience for the discriminate palate.. It’s gourmet eating so do your homework before you go. if you have the correct expectations you’ll be able to give a good review.
Spectacular digital software create great scenes in the walls.
Let me tranlate it in okie terms: A 7 course dinner is 6 appetizers of (3 to 4 bites size) followed by a small to medium main course and a huge price
But for those who eat more than chicken fried steak and bbq it’s a trip for the palate. Each entry is a savory mix of flavors some light and some more robust. Each was so good i thought i wanted a lot more intead of another entry… until the next entry Then i thought the same again. lol.
It’s not cheap but reasonable at $ 75 pp. if it had included at least 1 glass of wine.
Great place, very personable energetic host/​chef, great ambiance. It’s located out of the way in a little strip mall and it only has a sign in the door.
Cons: tables are too close, this great mood needs more room to enjoy. It was so nice I would have liked to feel more private.
Wine is a must add (but it’s coming when they get a license.)
location is easy but you’ll say: it’s where? And scratch your head. Don’t worry, once in you’ll forget where you are.
Definitely not a restaurant but a full dinning experience. Hats off to the chef

Last Saturday my wife and I went to Millicent Brasserie. This was a unique experience that combine audio visual and great culinary experience.
Chef Vincent presented each one of the 9 courses.
The food was well prepared with attention to details. Chef Vincent is really engaged with the customers.

After loads of social media hype, we were very excited to try this place. While the food was ok, overall we were less than blown away. I will agree that it’s «one of a kind», but not always in a good way. Prepare to sit with strangers and be so cramped you don’t have room to comfortably eat. I personally thought the whole A/​V hype was overrated. I certainly didn’t feel like I was in some exotic foreign land or anything.
The absolute deal-​breaker was the no wine thing. Apparently somewhere in the fine print this is mentioned, but we don’t usually go over whether or not wine will be offered with a 9-​course meal in advance because the concept is unthinkable. Being responsible, we paid for a taxi all the way from midtown only to find out that there was no wine being offered. That added $ 80 to the night for no reason!
Overall, there are lots of places in Tulsa where you can spend $ 300 on dinner for two and be truly, truly amazed. I can’t say this is one of them.

This is a one-​of-​a-​kind dining experience! The scenery in this out-​of-​the-​way restaurant is exhilarating. I was treated to one delicious course after another with my wife, children, friends and family while light and sound washed over everything. Words don’t do this place justice!
I would recommend this place to anyone having a special night. It would be a perfect spot for anyone celebrating an anniversary, prom, graduation, or reunion. It’s worth the drive and the price — it’s like Disneyland for food!!!

I had the pleasure of dining here last Saturday. This is a truly one of a kind dining experience! Not only is the food amazing, but the chef/​owner incorporates custom projection and lighting shows throughout the dinner. We enjoyed our ten course meal surrounded by images of Paris! So very fancy! The food was exceptional. The chef came out and gave us a description of each dish before it came out, which made this experience even better. Some of my favorite dishes included the butternut squash purée, barbeque pork shoulder with apple slaw, ch-​oysters (chicken in the style of oysters) and many more. Really, I just thoroughly enjoyed every dish. The restaurant is intimately set for only twenty people which made it feel very high end and exclusive.
The restaurant is located in Broken Arrow, which was a bit far out of my Midtown comfort zone, but it is worth the trip! It was a little hard for us to find, as there is little signage out front. Don’t be fooled by the exterior though, when you walk inside you will be transported to another place (Paris in our case) for a high class dining experience! We absolutely loved our dinner here, and hope to come back many more times, and maybe even have a private special event here!
