Lottinvilles has the same good and bad points as a number of other Oklahoma restaurants--it has some very good meat dishes but has an almost nonexistent vegetarian selection.

I was anxious to try this restaurant because an old menu of ours included BBQ king salmon, but I found out upon arriving at the restaurant that it has now become "BBQ Atlantic salmon" (i.e. farm raised). This threw my whole ordering plan into a scramble, and I ended up with probably not a very good choice--Sashimi Tuna Salad. The tuna was almost raw, and I was told that this would be similar to the sushi served at Japanese restaurants. I did not think, though, that it tasted anything like the tuna at the Tokyo Restaurant or Japanese restaurants in other cities. Instead, it tasted more like the fish you would get at Red Lobster (I suppose some readers may think that is a good thing!). Also the sushi chefs are trained in preparing raw fish to minimize the bacteria contamination, and they serve ginger along with it to help ward off any ill effects, but I'm not sure about the precautions taken here.

I was able to taste the Blue Corn Chicken Enchiladas, and I thought they were quite good--not as good as in New Mexico but good quality. The black beans gave them a nice twist. I was told that the Reuben Sandwich was even better, although I did not try it.

The Tomato Basil Soup was a big hit--one of the best I've had, and excellent fresh-baked bread is served at every table.

Although I believe Lottinvilles has good meat items, I do not have much respect for restaurants that cannot come up with better non-meat items than the ones here. It is even more disappointing that the apparent once great fish that was served has degenerated into the low quality farm raised variety.
