This place has quickly become one of my work lunch favs. Everything I've tried has been outstanding. Somehow they manage to make a fairly simple and healthy salad (the miam miam) absolutely clean-your-plate delicious. The lemony chicken orzo soup is another favorite - fresh, great flavor without being too heavy or indulgent. And don't sleep on the soft serve! They make it fresh there every day and it is *chef's kiss*. Serving size is a small cup - just enough to end a meal on a sweet note without putting you into a food coma. The service is also consistently lovely. I love this place.

What a wonderful restaurant! With their limited dinner hours during the week and no weekend hours as of now, spring break week (no traffic coming from the burbs!) was the perfect time to make the trek downtown on a Friday evening. Well friends, the trek was certainly worth it as I haven't come across an establishment that's so unique in their offerings in a long time [the last one was the now closed cry wolf :( we ended up ordering several items off their shared plates menu - Fried Olives - absolutely stellar and didn't even need the yummy dipping sauce to make it work! Tin Fish was not bad, they had a few options and we went for the spicy mussels (had a slight powdery note in the end). The Octopus was fantastic, perfectly cooked and the breadcrumbs were a nice touch without overpowering the protein. The Bone marrow was roasted to perfection and the mustard seeds sauce on the side was a nice touch but was certainly missing a bit of oomph if you ask me. Maybe a sprinkle of sea salt would have done the magic? The White beans and sausage was fantastic! The light broth had so much flavor to it, beans cooked perfectly and there was so much fennel flavor coming out of the sausage. Was a perfect dish for a cloudy/rainy day. We had high expectations for the carrot dish and I don't know if it was because it was rushed to our table because it was forgotten, it just felt okay. The goat cheese sauce on the bottom was very nice but the cook or seasoning on the carrots felt lacking. Bummed about this one as we had high hopes for it :( for our main dish, we got the pepp in your step and that was delicious and was devoured in no time. Our kiddo also seemed to really love the house made soft serve that day which was strawberry! Our server was also very knowledgeable with all the natural wines they serve (they only serve and sell natural wines here!!!) we enjoyed a superbloom rose which was a beautiful pour and had a lot of funk to it. They also sell any of their wines to go (20% off menu price) so we picked up several skin contact wines to prepare for summer. The owner was very helpful in helping us find some bottles that would appeal to our tastes. All in all we had a great time and can't wait to return again! Keep up the great work team!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner for five at Fond. Our server was attentive and helpful with our questions about the menu items. Jennie, one of the owners visited our table to be sure we were pleased with everything. The food was delicious and we’ll certainly go back to Fond again on our next visit to Dallas.

Was blown away by the service and food. We came in last night for dinner (so happy they extended their hours!). We were greeted when we came in the door, and that level of service did not stop until we left. The food was fantastic! Get the fried olives, caesar salad and any of the pizzas! Each of the wines we tried were excellent as well. We cannot wait to come back!

Very nice Dallas find! Was in town for the day and wandered a few blocks from my hotel to grab a quick lunch at Fond. I had one primary server, but the staff pitched in for each other seamlessly and casually. The environment is bright and open with fun decor and fresh herbs. My rigatoni and sausage was nicely spiced and even better with some red pepper flakes. Portions were good--substantial, but not regrettable I would come back...if I lived here!

Had a business lunch here a few weeks ago and everything was great! We split the house salad that sounded very unassuming but was pleasantly surprising! The Italian sandwich was also really yummy and the house pickle was so freaking good. Service was awesome! Will definitely be back!!

Had a perfect weekday lunch here with a friend. Fond in downtown Dallas is a hidden gem. The vibe is bright and welcoming and very cute, and our sever was very attentive. I had the Reuben sandwich - one of the best I've ever had. My friend had the Chicken Ceasar and said it was so good she'll be craving it later. The lunch wine selection was surprising and something different - a bright and orangy white. Shout out for the best pickle spear of my life..made in-house. Will definitely be back. The chefs here have done an amazing job.Parking: Parked in the building's garage. easy to find.
So much good it's hard to know where to start! Ambiance allows for great conversation and is classy. Service is hospitality to a level of perfection. And oh the food...get ready to enjoy amazing flavors and food that will leave you ready to come back quickly!!!

absolutely one of my favorite places in Dallas -- best pizza, fried olives and natural wine. Also a large selection of tinned fish and just overall such an amazing restaurant/bar. service is amazing and the food/drink is worth every penny. do not miss a chance to check Fond out -- you'll regret it for the rest of your life. i mean it. 10/10 would recommend every time

Give this place the love it deserves. One of my favorite and only spots in Dallas that serves natural wine. Not to mention their pizza is ridiculous, Caesar salad is one of the best I've had and the fried olives are (strangely) one of my favorite things ever. The relaxed environment, great service and menu is what keeps me coming back - cheers
