Description: Bodean Seafood Restaurant & Market is centrally located in Tulsa. Bodean opened in 1968 as a small, family-owned fish market, and was the first from all over the world using daily air shipments. Over the years, Bodean developed a fine-dining restaurant with an award-winning menu and wine list. After enjoying the same location for 40 years, Bodean recently moved to a new location offering a unique and cozy decor that is the work of local talents. Enjoy your evening in our main dining area or our comfortable lounge.

Seven of us came for dinner at 7. Only 3 other tables occupied. Entree served at 9:00. Had to send back both soups as they were cold. We ordered 3 appetizers and one was never served. Two hours before our dinners came to the table...That is it for all of us. Server trying but something terribly gone wrong in kitchen... More

Bodean's has the best seafood in Tulsa! They have several items on their daily menu & they are all delicious. I also take fresh fish home from their market: including ceviche, crab cakes, shrimp, scallops, and salmon.

I was traveling to Tulsa with a business colleague and we wanted to stop to eat somewhere. He remembered having eaten at Bodean's on a previous trip, and when my foodie colleague started waxing eloquently about this place, I thought we'd better stop. It was a wonderful experience. It is a very elegant restaurant. We had stopped on the spur... More

I took two friends to lunch on Wedsday for their birthdays. We got there at 11:30, and the place was pretty empty. I should learn that if you chat and don't have your items picked out when the waiter comes the first time, he won't come back for at least ten minutes or more. Yes, that happened. When he finally...

Never disappointed in the service or the quality of the seafood at this establishment and the seafood market next door carries a great selection of fresh fish.

Bodeans is our first choice for a romantic, delicious, unhurried dining experience. The "Market Fresh fish choices" are flown in daily - outstanding quiet service - we never feel rushed and always are happy we chose Bodeans.

They own the seafood market next door and fly in fish daily. Once the fish is here, the cooks do an excellent job with the preparation. Bodean's menu reflects a fair cross-section of cooking styles which should satisfy just about everyone. This was my fourth trip and I enjoyed the Tuna Tartare appetizer and the Seared Scallops with Red Curry... More

In Tulsa, when you crave a superb meal try Bodean Seafood. The fish is flown in twice per day from both coasts. Our evening started with a delicate wine sauce for a generous portion of mussels. Then we split a taste seared scallops on spinach salad topped with Guyure dressing. Our meals were expertly prepared Halibut and Sea Bass with... More

Knowing nothing about Tulsa, we felt lucky to find this gem at 8 o'clock on a Monday night when another highly rated seafoos restaurant had already closed its doors. Everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared--oysters, cioppino, salmon from New Zealand, a salad made with spinach when I learned that the usual greens include the dread iceberg. The cioppino... More
