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

“Great place to share with the love one. It’s amazing. Great food and drinks. Totally recommended“

“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.“

“This restaurant is really impressive. The environment is simple and stylish, not too ostentatious, but also elegant. The taste of the dishes is very good, the ingredients are fresh, and you can feel the chef's care in every bite.“

“Wow wow wow! We’ve been coming to Rye for almost four years now and they just keep getting better and better! They also must’ve recently renovated inside, it looks amazing! Drinks were also absolutely phenomenal. My husband loved them!

We had Trinity as our waitress and not only was she a phenomenal foodie with her recommendations, but an absolute sweetheart! 10/10 recommend!“

“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!“

“Some of the best food I have ever eaten! Thank you for the amazing experience!“

“I love coming to Nonna | Tabu—it hits that sweet spot between fancy and comfy. The moment you step in, the brick walls, warm lighting, and wood-oven give it a cozy but special feel. The staff always seem to care, and there’s something satisfying about knowing the dishes are seasonal and thoughtfully made. Add in live jazz and cocktails at Tabu, and it feels like a place to slow down and enjoy the night—not just eat.“

“Food is outstanding so yummy and fresh as sushi can be.“

“We have eaten in the restaurant before and it was wonderful. Food and service. We ordered from Door Dash and the food and service were excellent. Part of our order was forgotten in bag. The manager delivered it and added some treats we did not order as apology. The fact this place has great food, service and cares about customers is the reason I wish there was more than 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will be back and order for delivery again. Customer service was 100 ⭐️!“

“Beautiful bar, great service. Try the mushroom pizza“

“We ate here, New Year’s Eve and every single thing we got from the cocktails to every course of food was excellent! Our waitress gave excellent service! I definitely recommend“

“We love DL Mack's! From the minute we walked in it feels like home. The hostess staff is polite, friendly and accommodating. We went during peak dinner hours and they never missed a beat. A big shout out to our server Preston, very attentive, informed us of the new menu items and checked on us frequently/as needed. Delicious food! Great offerings! We'll definitely be back!!!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed dinner here with my friends. Music was there but not intrusive. Staff were friendly and efficient. The food was very flavorful and everybody enjoyed their meal. I definitely ate too much of the chips and the cilantro lime crema“

“We celebrated a close friend’s birthday at Catbird and it was the ultimate girls’ night. From the moment we walked in to the time we left we were treated with so much attention and detail. Gabby, our server was outstanding. She was enthusiastic and kind and every request. We will 100% be returning.“

“I went in on whim and was I blown away. I've seen the press about this place and it didn't disappoint. From the moment I was greeted by the manager, Amanda, to having the perfect cocktail delivered, let's have a seance, by the bartender moi who had pride in his craft, to Nancy who took care of us with waters and preparing everything for the next round. It was an experience like none other.“

“Quarter Acre is a beautiful, serene restaurant with great service and outstanding cuisine. Every single item, from the bread, to the snacks, to the appetizers, to the entree, to the desserts, was delicious! I highly recommend, and will definitely be going back.“

“Food was horrible. Bread was stale. Bacon was cooked partially black and partially scrapped together in a clump that tasted like it was from an old pan from days ago!!! Get New Cooks or adios!! I know this was done out of haste and this is unacceptable!!“

“What a find!! Prices were reasonable and the quality of food was awesome. We will be back. I’d rate it a 5“

“Kaiyo is one of my favorite spots in Dallas. Have been going several times a month since they opened, and it's always great. The chefs Will and Raymond are talented and do a great job of making you feel welcome. The sushi is fantastic. The restaurant has a great vibe too. I'm vegetarian, and theres several great vegetarian sushi options ( mushroom and eggplant sushi!). Also, they make great cocktails. Highly recommend

Vegetarian options: Mushroom and eggplant nigiri, several vegetarian rolls, vegetarian appetizers“

“Go see Kevin?? we love good bartenders. And he came and checked on our table multiples times. Service was A1.
Great for watching games and chill vibes.
Try the dry rub sriracha wings, and the BLT, everything came out hot and fresh. We’ll be back“

“This place was recommended to me and was told to exceed expectations... Let's find out.

The design sets a new standard for a dining experience, harmoniously blending the rustic allure of a Texas smokehouse with the dynamic spirit of an Asian restaurant. This unique fusion creates an atmosphere that’s both comforting and exciting. The deliberate use of wood tables, communal bench seating, and abundant indoor and outdoor spaces encourages a relaxed and engaging environment where guests feel right at home.

The staff was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu items and the pairings with drinks.

Parking wasn't too bad, I was able to find parking the free parking lot which there were quite a few spots available.

Drinks... I ordered the slushee flight (Trying Any 3 Boozy Slushes). I chose the Mango Sake Slushee, Spicy Watermelon Margarita, and Killer Colada.

Food... For an Appetizer, I chose the Chicken Karaage and for main course I selected the Smoked Beef Brisket paired with the Charred Broccoli.

Dinner Summary... The Boozy Slushees were a great refreshing start to the dining experience here at Loro. The Chicken Karaage was a bit crispier than I would have liked, but the dish was seasoned well and the Chili Aioli was the perfect sauce to add to the crispy chicken. The smoked beef brisket was INCREDIBLE. The thickness of the cut was on the thinner side, but easy to cut and I couldnt get enough of the chili gastrique with the brisket it was *chefs kiss* awesome. But I must say the best part of the meal was the charred broccoli. The broccoli was cooked perfectly with crispy char on each piece and the spicy ponzu, chili crunch, and lemon zest make it an absolute stand out.

Overall, it was an absolutely delicious and unique dining experience. I will be back soon to try more options on the menu.

10/10 Highly Recommend.“

“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.“

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

“*IMMACULATE VIBES*.“

“We brought my Mother to the Adolphus for her 92nd birthday, as she had fond memories of the hotel from many decades ago. The staff, (everyone we encountered from the parking valets to the City Hall Bistro employees, to the concierge and more) were all so welcoming and gracious. We had brunch at the City Hall Bistro and every single employee could not have been more personable and attentive, from Steph (our server) to the front desk, to those who kept our water glasses refilled. Impeccable. What a treat and great morning for my mother. Plus this glorious and historical hotel is completely gorgeous and hugely well-maintained.
Thank you.“

“Fantastic food, atmosphere, drinks, ect“

“Chill vibes, live music but not as jazzy as I thought it would be for a jazz bar. It sounded like the music you hear at Chipotle. Regardless, it was nice. Lots of sitting space outside, with some games. Cocktails were on point and my party had a great night.
Best thing was that valet parking was complementary, still take some cash for a tip. You can also park“

“Awesome cocktails, amazing service! The bartenders weee extremely attentive, friendly and quick! Restrooms were very clean as well, can’t wait to come back!!“

“We were late to our reservation due to really bad traffic and staff was super accommodating. Our server Rosa was fantastic. Christian the restaurant manager made sure to pass by and ask how everything was, he was super nice and helpful! The food was delicious, would definitely be back!“

“Unique and sexy vibes All the love All the time“

“By FAR one of the best collections of Mezcal you’ll find North of the border. Excellent service, incredible food, and only steps from Fair Park and the Music Hall. Highly recommend this gem!!“

“The cuisine is excellent and inventive. Great atmosphere and service. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Staff was friendly from the moment we entered, ambiance was cozy and elegant, and food and drinks were perfect. At the end of the night, Lynae stopped by to say hi and was just the sweetest. My partner and I will definitely be back!“

“Muchacho in Preston Center strikes the right balance between refined and relaxed. The décor feels thoughtfully curated—warm leather, dark wood, and just enough rustic detail to make it inviting without being overdone. My favorite spot is the balcony, which adds an airy, open feel to the experience.

The menu has plenty of heavy-hitters, but I keep coming back to something simple: the house salad with butter lettuce and grilled shrimp. It’s clean, fresh, and surprisingly memorable—the kind of dish that shows off the kitchen’s restraint as much as its skill.“

“The cuisine is excellent and inventive. Great atmosphere and service. You won’t be disappointed.“

“best place to reach euphoria“

“First time to visit and the drinks and brunch were delicious“

“Dawn. Is amazing. Sit at the bar. She didn't miss a beat. Food was amazing.“

“Wonderful venue for Dirk’s retirement jersey dinner. Sorry to see it go…☹️“
