“Hubby and I went to their Valentines Brunch Saturday and Calin was our waiter. His first question to us was did we have any allergies. We was honestly blown away because NO OTHER waiter asked us that question ANYWHERE! Yes I do have food allergies and I told him so. From beginning to the end of our visit he was PHENOMENAL!! We told his Manager so. There is so much negativity going on, we were very pleased to give some positivity! ?“

“We were visiting Dallas during Thanksgiving. Saw this place had good reviews. It far exceeded our expectations. Over ordered and everything was excellent. Service was wonderful. If you are in the Dallas area …. Go!“

“We celebrated our anniversary at YO Steakhouse in Dallas and had such a great experience. Marcos Ruiz took really good care of us and recommended the Texas Hill Country Quail Medallion and the Burrata Tomato salad with a vinaigrette reduction—both were super fresh and full of flavor. Super delicious. For dinner, we had steak with bone marrow butter and salmon with rich sun-dried tomato, roasted garlic & cilantro butter, both cooked perfectly. You can really tell the food is made fresh to order, and the quality shines in every bite—the tx asparagus, potatoes, and wild rice were out of this world as well. Marcos also surprised us with a special dessert design for our anniversary, which made the night feel even more special. Overall, the chef did an amazing job, as did Marcos, whom we requested in advance, and served us with so much enthusiasm and care that made our night, and the whole experience felt thoughtful and memorable.“

“The Zodiac Room is a delightful lunch spot, in the historic, downtown Neiman Marcus. I love everything about this place from the celebrity photos near the elevators to the delicious popover with strawberry butter. On this visit, I ordered my favorite-- pot roast. It is the most tender pot roast I have ever had. Afterward, I enjoyed black and white cake. I can't wait to go back!“

“Definitely a place I want to Come back to.“

“This is the best fried chicken in Dallas, if not the whole state!😋😋😋“

“We got seats inside the restaurant in the midst of the summer heat. Our Waitress Tori was super welcoming and made us feel right at home, even though it was our first time visiting this restaurant. She had awesome recommendations, was prompt with food/drink requests, and when I happened to go back inside to ask for plastic ware for my togo dish, she was surprised to see me back inside because she wanted to make sure that my wife’s purse didn’t get left behind. We had an amazing experience, even though when we left the USA was losing to Belgium in the World Cup.“

Go here for food or just to grab a beer.

I can definitely recommend you go to Ozona Grill and Bar.“

“Meet your new burger obsession 🍔
The new Wagyu Burger @rambleroomsniderplaza is everything you want — juicy, rich and perfectly stacked.

And while you’re there, don’t skip the classics: the Steak Frites cooked to perfection and their crisp Caesar Salad that somehow makes greens feel indulgent 🥗 order the Caesar salad !!!!

Ramble Room really knows how to do comfort food with a little luxury.“

“Brilliant menu Fantastic service“

“The food is so delicious! I can't wait for the location in Plano to open!“

“We decided to spend the day in Bishop Arts and popped into Pillar for lunch. The atmosphere was perfect for an afternoon bite and cocktail. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Side note, I loved the water glasses so so much. I may or may not have come home with a pair that was given to me by (I’m assuming) the manager :)
We will have to come back to try the dinner menu soon!“

“Stopped by for a business lunch and it was great! Service was on point, place was super clean, and everyone was really friendly.

Giving it a 4.5 for now until I return and I am definitely coming back. Also curious if the upper floor is available to rent out for events or business use?“

“We absolutely LOVE the Lakehouse! We try to go a couple times a month! The view is great, the food is awesome, service is just what you need and the prices are great! A must try!“

“This was my first time experiencing Chet’s Dallas. I found it at the spur of the moment searching for a dinner outing and you all did not disappoint! The moment I walked in I was amazed. It’s a beautiful restaurant w/ a breathtaking lounge area and nice bar. The Lavender Lemon Old Fashioned was perfect—very smooth and rich. The Blackened Chicken Alfredo and Chicken Rigatoni pasta were sooo GOOD. The perfect amount of spice, creaminess and seasoning. It got better with every bite to the point I was in disbelief. 😩🔥🔥🔥I have hands down NEVER had a cheesecake better than the cheese cake I had here. Lex, our waitress, was so sweet, fast, attentive and she gave us the background of the owner / restaurant because of how in love I was. The owner has 5 or 6 other restaurants on that same block. 🤯 Because of my experience at Chet’s Dallas, I will be trying them out!“

“Great experience and excellent food!“

The protein bowl was delicious, and my son was obsessed with the bacon burger taco. We will definitely be stopping here again sometime on our way home !!“

“Thank you, Katie, for your exceptional service at Shell Shack Dallas. You made our experience truly enjoyable!“
