“5 stars all around for Wild Salsa in downtown Dallas. Visited a few weeks ago, and we arrived after the noon rush as we were told they can be rather busy during peak times. We both chose taco dishes, with my wife having Wild Tacos and I chose the Grilled Mahi Mahi. The meals came with cilantro rice and black beans as well as chips and salsa verde. Couldn't have been happier with our meals. Lot's of flavor, the food arrived hot and was presented well.

If you follow us, you know we travell lots, and I need to add that the restrooms were both pretty clean and tidy. So very impoortant for travellers. Keep up the good work, 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!“

“Came here to meet up with some friends and we were immediately greeted by Jade with a smile and a friendly word.

Would definitely go again and recommend.“

“To the man sitting at the end of the bar tonight watching the game. You didn’t have a “dog in the fight,” but you were going for Boston. Please contact me. I believe our chemistry was insane, just from eye contact and brief conversation. Snap:“

“Great place to relax, enjoy wonderful drinks, and laugh with one’s friends. Excellent pizza, too!“

Quiet getaway from the busy downtown bustle.“

“Xperience is ALWAYS a vibe! It had been a while since my last visit, but we chose Xperience to celebrate my little sister's birthday—and it did not disappoint. The DJ was on point, the crowd was just right, and the overall vibe was unmatched. The food and drinks were on another level, and I have to shout out Sierra—she was AMAZING. Even with multiple tables to manage across the restaurant, she made us feel like we were her only priority. Xperience will always be my go-to spot for that grown and sexy, chill type of night.“

“This is absolutely the BEST restaurant in Dallas, TX. Hands down, no debate. From the top tier service/hospitality shown as soon as you walk through the door to the delicious, creative cocktails, and finally to the AMAZING cuisine. You won’t find higher quality anywhere else. It’s an incredible dining experience anyone will love!“

“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.“

“Went here for dinner! Had a great time! Good food! Good drinks! Good music!!!! I definitely want to return.“

“I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for the wonderful experience my family and I had at your restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with such kindness and care. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional. Every detail made our time there special, and we’re truly grateful for your hospitality. We’re already looking forward to our next visit on Mother’s Day!“

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

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

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

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

“One of my favorite places. Great food, service, atmosphere. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“*IMMACULATE VIBES*.“

“Absolutely lovely and amazing! This is the best meal out we had in a long time from start to finish. The staff are attentive, professional and polite. The restaurant is very clean and unique! All the dishes are delicious. The presentation is a work of art. I give it a 10+ 💓 and sure will come back🌹💞Attached pictures are all the dishes that we had tried 😊 all so so good“

“Christian and Rosa held it down at Te Deseo, no lie. Service was smooth, vibes was right, and they treated me like I actually mattered — not just another table. Friendly, on point, and made the whole night feel easy. If you pull up, ask for them. They gon’ take care of you, for real.“

“Great food at the new location at Cypress Waters. Terrific hospitality- we enjoyed meeting Miriam herself as she came to greet us. Food is mild but flavorful. My favorite is the pork belly taco I got on the sampler plate. My husband enjoyed the short rib tacos as well. Ample portions as well.“

“Drove all night and was starving, and found this place was open late. We arrived late not knowing when the kitchen was shutting down.

The waitress politely told us we could only order fried food. It was a bummer but we understood and was going to quickly put in our order for what food we could get.

While we were looking at the menu our waitress came back and said if we ordered now he would make whatever we wanted from the menu. We immediately got excited and placed our orders for burgers.

Thank you so much to the cooks who were gracious enough to feed some starving travelers!!

All of the food was delicious and completely hit the spot, and the bartender made a fantastic liquid marijuana.

Also the music in there was hitting. All great all around, will be back for sure.“
