“I've driven past wild salsa several times and decided it was time to try it. I'm so very glad i stopped by because everything was delicious! Tiffany, our waiter, as well as the rest of the staff were pleasant and friendly. There were several vegetarian options. I ordered the vegetable enchiladas with queso on top. When i got my order, there was red sauce, which was not a problem. The staff, however, went above and beyond to make it right. They brought me a side of queso and an order of sopapillas on the house. I'm glad they brought my enchiladas with red sauce because even that was delicious! The paletas on the way out were a nice treat as well! Highly recommend Wild Salsa!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but Page absolutely deserved this. She was our bartender at a speakeasy and was phenomenal from start to finish. Incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely passionate about what she does.

The cold shoulder? Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced, smooth, and crafted with real care. Page elevated the entire experience, and we left talking about how great she was long after we walked out.

If you’re lucky enough to have Page as your bartender, you’re in for a great night. Highly recommend!“

Claudia, Abram, and Macie were the best. Claudia made a wonderful table side strawberry hibiscus drink that anyone would swoon over!“

“Goldie’s wasn’t just exquisite—it was restorative.

I went solo, not out of necessity but intention. I wanted to savor something quietly beautiful, and Goldie’s delivered in every way. The food was a symphony of warmth and precision: flavors that lingered, textures that comforted, and plating that whispered elegance without shouting. I took my time, letting each bite remind me that solitude can be a celebration.

From the moment I stepped in, the host greeted me with a kind smile and said, “We’re so glad you’re here. Some nights are meant for just you and the food.” It wasn’t just a welcome—it was permission to be fully present.

My server was phenomenal. Respectful, intuitive, and genuinely uplifting. They didn’t just take my order—they guided me through it, offering suggestions that felt tailored to my mood. Every recommendation hit the mark, and their presence made me feel cared for without ever hovering.

And the rest of the team? They moved like a quiet orchestra—refilling water before I even noticed it was low, checking in with subtle grace. It was hospitality at its finest: unobtrusive, thoughtful, and deeply human.

Goldie’s reminded me that dining alone isn’t lonely—it’s a chance to reconnect with yourself, especially when the people around you treat your presence like a gift.“

“Pearl sushi is a must for all the Dallas sushi lovers. The first visit was great, but coming back and getting the same level of quality says a lot. The fish was fresh, the rice was perfectly textured, and every roll tasted intentional nothing overloaded, nothing sloppy. Just clean, well balanced sushi.“

“Great restaurant! We visit this location every time we come to the Dallas uptown, metroplex area!“

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“it's a New York type of Vibe. Small but Quaint!“

“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!“

“Our server Rito was terrific. Courteous, attentive, professional. The food was good, but kitchen didn’t get things quite right, seemed to be phoning it in instead of paying attention. A nice atmosphere, overall a good breakfast experience!“

“I picked this restaurant for a birthday celebration. The team communicated with me well and answered all questions regarding my table reservation. Me and my guests had never been here before. Cierra served my party and her customer service was excellent. We came later so food was not desired but the drinks were great. The DJ and atmosphere were great! Hookah was available but service was slow. I would definitely recommend and will come back!“

“We had an excellent time at The Metropolitan on Main. The cocktails were very unique and delicious. The French fries with truffle oil really hit the spot. And the charcuterie board had a little bit of everything:berries, cheeses, meat, bread and fig jam. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were introduced to the owner who is a delight and has a passion for entertaining.“

“We enjoyed the drinks. The staff was friendly.“

“HG Sply Co is a must return spot, attracting hungry folks with the promise of yummy food w/ none of the artificial BS along with excellent service, i can confidently say they delivered. they handled our group of 7 with ease and our food came incredibly quick! definitely going to visit again!“

“Came here with my younger son and my daughter to celebrate her birthday, Sept. 22. Beautiful space and decor. The service was excellent and the food was delectable! Great suggestions from our waiter. We started with the burrata and then we shared the Mafalde, the Prime Hanger, and Swordfish. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.“
