“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“

“The staff was so wonderful! Thank you Nash for your hospitality and making us feel so welcome! See y’all soon!“

“Wow! We were lucky enough to have dinner last night at Mister Charles. Eight of us were in town for a convention. All first timers here. We asked our server Rosa if it was possible to do a chef's tasting menu. She spoke with Chef Brendan and he put together an amazing menu for us in 10 minutes! Every course was superb and Chef Brendan explained each course of the meal. Specialty drinks were amazing. The Som, Luis, put together our wine pairings and they were outstanding. I was so looking forward to what I thought would be a great meal, and it surpassed all of my expectations! Every single person in our party has commented multiple times on how incredible the night was. What a spectacular experience! Thank you Chef Brendan, Rosa, Luis, and the rest of the team at Mister Charles!“

“This was the most enjoyable meal I had during my trip to Dallas. This is a Michelin restaurant, and overall, it is qualified. I enjoyed its steak very much.“

“Eric provided excellent, timely service. I will be back.“

“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.“

“They have the best food, customer service and the prices are worth paying…SEAFOOD PASTA AND CHICKEN PASTA 10/10“

“Great team in particular my server, Maria. Food was top quality too 👍“

“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.“

“Our first time dining here, we were looking for something different. A very pleasant experience,food and service was impeccable, the ambiance very upbeat. The decor tastefully casual. A very large bar area, and dining room thoughtfully laid out. Noice level is moderate even with a full restaurant, nice for enjoying a conversation. Front door valet parking makes coming here very convenient even though you are in the middle of downtown. Thank you for a great anniversary dinner.“

“Drakes hollywood was amazing! Went for our anniversary & had a great night. Our server was Louis (sp?) , who was fast, attentive, and nice. The food was great, my fiancé got the parmesan crusted fish dish, I went for the A5 Japanese wagyu & lobster mac which was all delicious. Would definitely come again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I took my friend for lunch to the Zodiac. Room. She hadn't been in many years and was exited to go. Due to inclement weather only a few were there that day but was still a wonderful experience. Food was incredibly good, as usual, and we certainly enjoyed the day. And, valet service was prompt and a great addition to our day. Heather our server was exceptional in making sure we were served properly and on time. Thank you Heather for adding to our little birthday gathering.“

“We traversed the winter weather to drive two blocks to one of the only Restaurants open. It was phenomenal! I had the Redfish, can't go wrong with that & my son had Fish & Chips. The service was excellent. Staff was great. Five stars 🤩“

“My friends and I had a wonderful experience at EVELYN from start to finish. Eric & Rob and the ladies (whose names I didn't get) were SOOOO helpful. I appreciated the friendliness, kindness, helpfulness and great attitudes of mostly everyone at the restaurant. I loved these food and how accommodating it was to me as a Vegan. The mushrooms and spinach were AMAZING! the decor was EVERYTHING, as well as the music! I will definitely be returning. Thank you.“

“Our annual NYE brunch at Cafe 43 was wonderful. The hostess, Veronica, and our server, Fernando, were outstanding. They have both been with the Bush Library since its opening, and they are among the reasons we've come back year over year!“

“My two best friends took me to Sevy’s last night to celebrate my birthday. We had an extraordinary experience. Our waiter, Brandon was sweet, accommodating and kind. He acknowledged my birthday with rose petals tossed on the table, a visit from Mr. Sevy and the manager AND a complimentary dessert plus a Sevy’s bottle of spice to take home. I’ve dined at alot of restaurants in Dallas over many years. The customer service snd attention here was phenomenal. And, we each ordered a different entree, and each thoroughly enjoyed our selection and the wine menu. Thank you for making me feel special for an evening.“

“I experienced nothing but good service at the Frisco location! My son & I food was served by the time I paid for everything and it was good. Would definitely return anytime I’m in the area.“

“Love Renny’s! The food and service are consistent! Delicious and served hot! Service is exceptional! My new favorite!“

“Been coming here once a month since they opened. Three words.....AN INCREDIBLE PLACE. Food is plentiful and delicious.....every time I have been. Atmosphere is a little small but it really adds to the whole experience. Can't say enough about how incredibly friendly the staff is......EVERYTIME I have been. Waiting for a table is not unexpected this place is THAT GOOD!“

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

“Fantastic food, atmosphere, drinks, ect“

“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!“

“Our first time for lunch. We ordered a mimosa for the birthday girl and was told no orange juice. Then we ordered devil eggs. Told no eggs. Ask about a red wine and server said she's didn't know but would go ask. Whoever she asked didn't know either. Definitely off their game.“

“Pillar did not disappoint. If you love Mot Ha Bai, you'll definitely love this spot too. The food was phenomenal and everything we tried was so well done. My only note would be that I wish they explained the new concept or gave a little more insight into what the menu is about — it would make the experience even better.“

“wonderful atmosphere great staff and honestly food is top tier absolute gem of a pub.“

“We absolutely LOVE the Lakehouse! We try to go a couple times a month! The view is great, the food is awesome, service is just what you need and the prices are great! A must try!“

“Had a great time! Sami was fantastic. Very attentive and lot of fun. We had brunch - chicken and waffles and steak and eggs. We also had the espresso martiny (tiny martini shots). We were able to get a quick reservation and watch the game. Great for sports bar but low key vibes.“

“Amazing food & service. Will be returning often...really loved appetizers & entrees. Looking at all the beautiful cars, motorcycles, & collectibles was a highlight, as well. Ladies...great place to surprise your car-guy for a fantastic meal.“

“This place is soooo good! First time here and blown away at the level of customer service and hospitality. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Hubby and I went to their Valentines Brunch Saturday and Calin was our waiter. His first question to us was did we have any allergies. We was honestly blown away because NO OTHER waiter asked us that question ANYWHERE! Yes I do have food allergies and I told him so. From beginning to the end of our visit he was PHENOMENAL!! We told his Manager so. There is so much negativity going on, we were very pleased to give some positivity! ?“

“Stellar experience, management is on it. I repeat management is on it. Everyone was circulating, everyone was helping one another out. That resulting in a seamless service, food was seasoned, and delicious. Abel was polite and attentive. It was our first time and definitely not our last. Hospitality was present! Bravo!“

“The Mercury consistently impresses with high-quality food, stylish ambiance, and thoughtful service perfect for a celebratory evening or an intimate dinner. However, it’s not the quietest or most budget-friendly option. The fish dish I ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavor, though the portion was on the smaller side. Overall, a refined dining experience that’s worth trying, especially for special occasions. The service was good.“

“Every two'to-three weeks I stop on way home craving mushroom soup. It had been very consistent thru the years. Today however, the rich flavor and thickness was missing...like it was watered down. First time ever, just couldn't finish the bowl. Asked waiter, they said they recently noticed same thing... Anyway, suggest you ask your waiter b4 ordering, see if this has been corrected. If cutting corners, this is not the way to do it. FYI, customer since they opened.“

“The menu options are great! I was just there last week and had the macaroni and cheese with fried chicken! The blue cheese and bacon crumble on the top was absolutely amazing!!“

“Loved! Quick, fresh, tasty food, variety, chic decor, friendly, will be back. Unique.“

“With friends and we all thought 👍 here. My salad was excellent! We ate outside too. 👏👍“

“Great food, service, and ambience. Love this place.“

“Very nice open atmosphere !!!“

“Our daughters 17th birthday was great. Tamir our server was excellent“

“Wonderful new take on organic and healthier foods.“

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

“Great food and service. Unique vibe with the decor.“

“During last visit I was very unhappy because I was not given a bill, just told what I was expected to pay. Even though I paid with a debit card was never given a receipt so I could see what I was charged for. I will more than likely not be visiting again for a while, hopefully the company will make some serious changes in customer relations.“

“Fantastic service and delicious food, housed in a beautiful, impeccably decorated restaurant. Our server, AB, curated an amazing dining experience and his recommendation's were spot on. The Sous Chef Rafael was gracious enough to stop by our table and speak with my guest and I and thank us for coming. That small gesture took an already fantastic experience and elevated it through the roof. Al Biernat's, a Dallas staple and a must try dining experience. 10/10“

“Sabrina was our server and bartender, and she was great from start to finish. The drinks were strong, well made, and she knew exactly what to recommend. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything flowed smoothly without ever feeling rushed or ignored. You can tell she knows her craft and cares about giving good service.“

“This is the 2nd time I’ve came here. WE lOVE IT. It’s literally perfect for living out my childhood dream. Brings the child out in my whole group. The actors and horsemanship is top tier. And the crew made my daughter’s 12th birthday so amazing. Thank you for everything.

The only thing I wish I could have changed was the kid that sat next to me. They started across the arena and I think we’re in the wrong seats. He was probably around 14 years old. Hit me in the face with his flag several times. And farted so many times myself party and I were gagging. His parents did not! And I mean did not care about his behavior. I was stressed! lol“

“The 8 course Chefs Tasting Menu was excellent! We were extremely pleased and surprised with every course. The staff was knowledgeable and very attentive. We look forward to going back.“
