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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“St. Rocco's is our new favorite. Dinner was amazing and Rigo was the absolute best! He deserves a raise!“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️!“

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

“Skylar was the best sever I have met in a long time . Sky(Skylar) I call her sky but she was the best she should be in charge she was wonderful and had such a smile on her face that brightens up the mood.

“The bar staff especially is always outstanding. They always make us feel like one of the family! I honestly have nothing to complain about, the entire experience is top notch!!“

“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!“

“Good food and great atmosphere very friendly staff“

“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.

We’re already looking forward to our next visit on Mother’s Day!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Southern service was great, we went to celebrate and the atmosphere truly set the tone. My partner was very critical of the food, but particularly enjoyed the sides/fixins the most(on top of desserts **chef’s kiss for dimple done right). Came in right towards the end of happy hour, a time was had thanks to our great server, thanks guys!“

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

“best place to reach euphoria“

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

“Fantastic food, atmosphere, drinks, ect“

“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.“

“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“

“Te Deseo staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and our needs. They helped make a birthday dinner into an unforgettable experience. Enjoyed the food, hospitality, and the atmosphere will definitely recommend others to enjoy the the Te Deseo experience . Thank you“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“Midnight rambler never disappoints! Each time I visit, I experience a place that’s both familiar, and refreshing. The familiarity of the upscale vintage design is a perfect complement to the amazing cocktails and cuisine served by bartenders such as Zack, and midnight ramblers attention to detail from the door to its servers. However the eclectic clientele, and funky beats keep the Vibes fresh daily. If you’re fortunate, you’ll visit on a night when the final layer of drapes are open, taking the night to anther level with Midnight Rambler’s clandestine bar; I hope I’m there with you, Xoxo Lorenzo!“
