“Fantastic meal from start to finish. Had an absolute great time at Roots. Pear-Martinis, Cornbread, Seafood Gumbo, Black-Eyed Pea Hummus, Short-Ribs, and Warm-Butter Cake w/OJ….Period.“

“Wow! This place is fantastic. We were walk-ins on a busy night, and they still found a way to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. The hostess was sweet and welcoming, and our server was incredibly professional. We shared some tasty appetizers before enjoying the salmon dish with these sweet and spicy brussel sprouts which was amazing. The lychee martini was my favorite. For dessert, we had fresh crispy churros served with this delicious salted caramel sauce, absolutely to die for! Now, the space is stunning, reminded me of something out of Las Vegas. They even have a Jazz Night, which you’d normally have to go to Dallas for, so it’s great to see something like that right here in Frisco. The manager gave us his ‘fancy’ digital business card since we are planning a birthday party and was gracious enough to give us a tour of their upstairs space answering all of our questions. I will definitely be back. My new favorite place! Uptown in Frisco!“

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.“

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!“

Celebrated our sister's birthday and made her feel so special. Looking forward to coming back and showing more friends about this place.“

“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!“

“best place to reach euphoria“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is fantastic! I've been a number of times & the service is always friendly & efficient. Food tried has included the Veggie Omelet, California Benedict (could use a bit more crumbled bacon), Bagel & Lox, Cinnamon Roll French Toast, & Turkey Avocado Wrap. All delicious! Pancakes & waffles come with drizzled cream cheese icing. Wasn't sure about this, but was So good! Servings are very generous. Definitely going back again!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had our wedding shower at BENDT Distilling Co. last week and it was absolutely amazing! Leading up to our event, communication was phenomenal and they catered to our every need. The shower itself was everything we dreamed up! Thank you, BENDT!“

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

“Friends and supporters of the LSU Tigers and LSU Alumni Association - and a great Mid-Cities location for LSU Football Game Watch 2025!“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Friends and supporters of the LSU Tigers and LSU Alumni Association - and a great Dallas location for LSU Football Game Watch 2025!“

“Another great breakfast to start the day. I've enjoyed this place for over a decade....still going strong ~ ....Happy Saturday to all !~~“

“We drove an hour for the Christmas pop-up event with our family that came to visit from MD. We loved every bit of the experience. The food and drinks were amazing! Connor, our waiter could not have been better! He was such a sweetheart and was so amazing dealing with our party of 11!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“The location on Preston just south of Park in Plano was convenient and lots of parking was available this past Friday at 9am. The ambiance with the Orange lamp shades and green leather upholstery, nice booths, is up-market and uplifting. We were surprised that it was not busy but perhaps 9am on Friday is already the tail end of breakfast?
Ahsanii was our server and really made the experience for us delightful. She knew her menu, had great suggestions, and had a happy and joyful demeanor. Without doubt, a server like Ahsanii makes the difference no matter what reputation a restaurant may have. She checked in regularly, ensured our food was out on time, and our coffee was topped up. The food was great and well presented.
Ahsannii, thanks for making our first visit a really great one. You would be the reason to come back if that's the standard of service Snooze strives for.“

“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 ⭐️!“

“Great food and Fabulous service! Thank you, Gian for a wonderful breakfast birthday brunch!!!!!“

“I had to tell the waiter, if you bring one more plate out here with toe nails in it we gone fight! The food just melts In your mouth…. I came here to celebrate my birthday last night and the food was amazing, service amazing and it is was the vibe for me! The DJ was on point, hit after hit. Drinks were amazing as well. Love a good cocktail with food any day and this is the spot. Everything was 10/10 and I highly recommend. This is how you do it! I was highly impressed and my party was highly impressed. Everyone talked about this place all night. I also love Hookah and I like how they had everything you needed under one roof. I will definitely be back!!! I appreciate the staff for everything on making my day special.“
