“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.“

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.“

“Today was our first time at Blue Mesa in Addison, and it was by far the best place to have dinner with my 3 boys. Me and my husband were very happy with our experience from delicious food to awesome service from our waitress. She was very friendly very attentive with my boys she made sure they had accommodations since they’re very picky eaters. She even brought them an ice cream sundae when they were done with dinner. Our food was beyond delicious. We will be back soon!“

“best place to reach euphoria“

“First time going and loved the atmosphere, our server Q was amazing and helped us select our entrees. Filet au Poivre was delicious and all 5 of us left no crumbs behind. Celebrated our sister's birthday and made her feel so special. Looking forward to coming back and showing more friends about this place.“

“Very impressive for an airport restaurant. Generally speaking, food and service are similar to their regular restaurant locations which seems to never be the case with airport restaurants. They have gone out of their way to keep a solid menu and a full bar as well as the feel of a restaurant that is a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle upstairs. Highly recommended.“

“Fantastic food, atmosphere, drinks, ect“

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

“Food was absolutely amazing!! I visited for the first time today & I will definitely come back“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were greeted by owners Rob and Amy, who gave us a warm welcome and a tour of this hidden gem overlooking Lake Lewisville—and let me tell you, the view alone is worth the visit. Drinks hit the table fast, and after a long day podcasting at DFW distilleries, my wife ordered the “Smash That” bourbon cocktail, while I cooled off with a bold and refreshing Texas Mule. Both hit the spot. Then came the Hillview Court Bean Dip—courtesy of Rob and Amy—and it was smashing delicious. Rich, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. I went with a perfectly seared prime ribeye, served with fresh veggies and a crisp salad. Cooked just right, packed with flavor. My wife ordered the Thai Shrimp Tacos, and that sauce? It made them pop—a spicy-sweet punch that brought the dish to life. We closed the night with homemade cheesecake and their decadent bourbon bread pudding—a dessert pairing that could make a grown man tear up. And to finish? A pour of Eagle Rare 12 Year while the sun dipped behind the lake—a true Texas sunset, a full belly, and great company. That’s what I call an amazing night. The live music was the perfect match for the setting—local artists with a little blues in their soul, laid-back and smooth, filling the lakeside air without ever overpowering the moment. If you’re a whiskey lover like Big Chief, this place is a must—whether you’re from the DFW area or just passing through. Hands down the best bourbon bar in Dallas. – Mike “Big Chief” Hiatt The Whiskey Trip Podcast“

“We absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is like 50s, retro, a touch of mid century modern. It’s always busy, but the service excellent and very friendly. We have eaten at every Snooze location in Arizona, and the food is consistently excellent across all locations. Trust me, don’t snooze on Snooze.“

“This was our first time trying this restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations. We sat outside on the patio near the water feature. The atmosphere was very romantic. Jordan provided outstanding service. The food & drinks were exemplary. Highly recommend the Ginger Mule, Lemon Drop Martini, Prawn Pad Thai, Sticky rice, and Grilled Pork Spare Ribs! Everything was clean, fresh, and delicious.“

“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.“

“Great food, the service was that of a 5 star restaurant.“

“Our server was Sara S… she was amazing and took the time to tell us about how everything worked since it was our 1st time there. Thanks again Sara!“

“This is one of my favorite Knox/Henderson bars. The food is spectacular, the location is awesome (they even have free parking) and the ambiance is pure Dallas awesome. The prices are decent and the selection of draft/ bottled beer is excellent. I love their cheeseburgers! Extra props for the propane heaters outside. They keep it warm enough to sit outside all winter.“

“We love eating here because it’s such a flexible place! Something for everyone. Our favorite however is Bavette Grill and their FABULOUS food & patio!“

“We had an amazing experience at Yujo. Tony went out of his way to make my birthday special from complimentary appetizers to desserts. The fish was so fresh and sushi rice was on point and better than any Japanese restaurant I’ve frequented in Dallas. They spent 4 hours just making their sushi rice. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely love the pizzas here!! The unique variety they offer takes pizza to the next level. I do have 3 issues pertaining to service though. 1. We had to ask for a couple specific pizzas to be brought to our table because they hadn't been offered while others were brought multiple times. 2. They don't inform you of their auto-gratuity policy when checking in for your reservation, nor upon giving you the bill. I would have expected better service when you're predetermining your own tip. 3. We also were asked to vacate our table for the next reservation while we were still actively spending money on after dinner drinks. These are all simple fixes on their end and I hope they can communicate better in the future.“

“So glad we discovered this neighborhood restaurant. We loved everything we ate and the outdoor dining with the fire wall was fantastic. Highly recommend the deviled eggs and quail tenders for appetizers“

“Came here for the first time on what ended up being an absolutely Gorgeous Sunday. We chose outdoor seating, and were delighted to have Bentley as our Server. I was a bit overwhelmed by the numerous options available to me (as a vegetarian for 30+ years, usually a fairly limited selection at a burger joint), but Bentley reassured me I could build any combination I’d like. I went with the Vegan Patty (freshly made in house), w/cheddar cheese, crispy onion straws, ketchup, lettuce & jalapeño chutney on the side. It was Effing PERFECTION! I’m so glad we stopped here, huge shout out to Bentley on being exactly what we love in our server: Genuinely friendly, helpful & attentive- you ROCK!“

“Great fun atmosphere good drinks even better owners!!“

“Food was amazing!! Definitely takes me back to Italy. Wish I lived closer!!“

“Exceptional food and friendly service. The whole belly clams were cooked to perfection!“

“Look people… this place is the most amazing food I’ve had in a very long time. Chef Tiffany Derry Is killing it with flavors. From Appetizers to entrees and sides dessert and coffee. It was amazing!!!! Now it’s hard on the budget, and it’s a little loud in the dining room. Make Reservations. BUT we went to eat and IT WAS A ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!!! I have never been more impressed with flavors in everything! Loved every bite! Radici Wood Fired Grill“

“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.“
