Picasso on Paseo - Oklahoma City

This is an excellent bar/lounge in right smack on the paseo. Parking is street only which due to the popularity of this spot will almost always mean you'll

Such a unique and delicious place! Super cozy on the inside.

The appetizer trio was very good. If you have two people, you could probably make a light meal out of just that. We tried the pizza, Mac and cheese and the Italian sausage pasta for our entrees. It was all quite good. The drink menu was very adequate as well with lots of local beers and eclectic drinks as well as old standards. Service was excellent - our waiter was very acquainted with the menu and made excellent recommendations. Main piece of advice - TRY THE BEIGNETS!!!!!

We ate here during the Paseo Arts Festival. We initially tried to make a reservation using Open Table, but someone from the restaurant called me a few days later to inform me that Picasso Cafe was not taking reservations during the Arts Festival. We arrived at 12:15 pm and put in our names. Our party was called just before 1:00 pm. Fortunately, we had the Arts Festival to keep us busy while we waited. I ordered the chicken and avocado sandwich. It sounded good in the menu description -- seared chicken breast, avocado slices, swiss cheese, bacon, and bourbon honey mustard. However, I ordered it without the cheese because I have been to too many places where they do not know how to melt cheese on grilled sandwiches and I don't want to be a picky customer on my second visit to a restaurant. Anyway, it was difficult to hold the sandwich together. I ended up taking the avocado slices off of it so that there was enough friction for me to hold it together and eat it. The seared chicken breast was the best part, closely followed by complimentary lettuce and tomato (crisp and cold) and the honey mustard (good mix of sweet and tangy). I ordered the napa cabbage slaw for my side dish. It was served with a light dressing so that the cabbage stood out. This is not a slaw for people who prefer not to taste the cabbage. I would like to come back and try some more things. However, if I have the chicken sandwich again, I am going to leave out both the swiss cheese and the avocado. I would also like to see if they have a wheat bun because that would pair better with this mix of flavors and textures.
