“Had a great experience at Café Momentum during my short stay in Dallas. Amazing food, welcoming 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. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional. Every detail made our time there special, and we’re truly grateful for your hospitality. We’re already looking forward to our next visit on Mother’s Day!“

“Came here for the first time on my husband's birthday and was blown away by our experience. Our server, Raoul, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make it a special evening--from a card signed by the staff to a birthday candle + complimentary night cap, we truly felt honored and celebrated. Cocktails were excellent and there were so many delicious-looking dishes on the menu it was hard to choose! We landed on the rabbit pappardelle and a duck leg special, both of which were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. Far from your typical dinner fare, we were truly impressed by the complexity of the flavors and the level of care in the execution. The atmosphere was stylish, sophisticated, and romantic with great music and thoughtful lighting. Can't recommend this place enough and very much look forward to returning to celebrate special occasions for years to come. Our warmest thanks to the entire staff!“

“Love this place. It’s a regular.“

“Had the sweetest quiet evening at Pillar. Such a beautiful new addition to the Bishop Arts District. It’s quaint and tucked away, the kind of intimate little spot that feels like a hidden gem. Definitely giving wine… and I want to get to know you energy with soft conversations, lingering eye contact, no rush.

The menu is eclectic in the best way, with flavors that keep things interesting. My absolute favorite? The Nashville oysters. So good. The perfect balance of bold and fresh.

If you’re looking for a cozy, low-key night out with great food and even better vibes, this is it. Bonus: they have happy hour also.“

“We hosted my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary at the Oak Lawn location. Everything from the service to the food and ambiance was perfect. I’d like to especially thank Nammi for helping coordinate, Alex and Sergio for serving the most delicious delicacies and Angeles who helped with taking extra good care of my mom. Thank you so very much, Neighborhood Services! I’d give you a million stars if I could!“

“My stay at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas was outstanding. The property is beautiful, with a classic 1920s vibe that’s been updated with modern touches through recent renovations. It still feels like a historic estate but with contemporary comfort. The grounds are well-kept and impressive, and my room was comfortable and stylish. The bar was a highlight, serving great drinks—the margarita was a standout. The restaurant delivered solid food with a good wine selection to match. Service was top-notch, from the valet to the staff, everyone was friendly and attentive. I’d highly recommend this place for a memorable stay in Dallas.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went March 2026 for happy hour this is one of the best deals around because you get the same portion sizes for the apps they are not smaller sizes like some places do for happy hour . Most apps are 50% off and cocktails 2.00 off. The server was very attentive. I had the dragon fruit margarita that I sent back because it was too alcohol heavy for me and got the Malibu Peach instead which is delicious if you like sweet cocktails (rum based reminds me of a rum punch in a way) the server had no issues switching them out for me. The apps were all good we had spinach dip, cheese curds, and pepperoni pizza the portions were enough for 2 to share we had some food left and took the rest of the pizza home. The food was fresh and service good. I would go again“

“Great place, excellent service and to die for Food. I’ll be back. Thanks, Wayne“

“Really best place to dining“

“Food was horrible. Bread was stale. Bacon was cooked partially black and partially scrapped together in a clump that tasted like it was from an old pan from days ago!!! Get New Cooks or adios!! I know this was done out of haste and this is unacceptable!!“

“From the vibrant vibe to the plentiful portions and flavorful dishes, everything hits the mark. The Seedlip drinks were the perfect refreshing surprise!“

“Our server was super—friendly and helpful! The food is awesome and fresh, and the chef’s combinations are superb! The atmosphere is wonderful—light and airy, music at a perfect level! We just happened upon this place while traveling through, and we’ll definitely be back!!!“

“If you aren’t from Dallas GO HERE. bartenders are great and super knowledgeable about the city. Food is fantastic.“

“Enjoyed everything about this restaurant! Creative menu , excellent quality with a stylish decor. It’s a must when in the area.“

“First time here. Came on a Saturday afternoon around 12 PM for brunch for a double date. Parking is in the gated hotel parking which has a fee, but the front desk can validate the parking if you eat at the restaurant. It was empty when we arrived & we were seated immediately. Mimosa - Average taste. Good price. Smoked Salmon Bagel - HUGE salmon pieces. Bagel was nicely toasted - not too toasted, not too underdone; lovely flavor. Cream cheese was very addicting - mixed with herbs. Served with a side of sliced potatoes, pickled red onions, red cabbage, & tomatoes - all separated on the plate in piles, so you can add whatever you want or don’t want. The portion was so big, I only ate half for brunch & had the rest for early dinner. I’d highly recommend this one. 44 Farms Brisket Burger - It was empty when we arrived, so we asked if they could make a burger which is normally on the lunch menu for brunch. Thankfully, the chef was nice enough to do so. Flavor was good. Pickles were excellent (even for someone who isn’t a big fan of pickles…my husband still ate them all). They taste homemade, on the thinner firmer side with a mildly sweet flavor & lighter than typical tartness. Overall, service & food were excellent. On the pricier side - came to about $60 for two entrees & one drink, but it was still good. I’d recommend & I’d come back!“

“I found the perfect jewel in DFW so I wanted to share my experience. I was stuck at the airport from 10 AM until my 3:30 flight and after several unsuccessful attempts to make a standby cut for an earlier flight, I was hungry and wanted something better than regular airport food before the 3:30. I did a little Google work and Cru sounded right up my alley. Small but laid out perfectly for the space and decorated with relaxing EU and wine inspired style.
The wine is great and being able to enjoy a “flight” at the airport was such a delight. The wine glasses are full size with a stem and each had 2oz - cost was $19.00 which is very reasonable for an airport.
I was torn between the Cobb salad and a panini but at the last minute, I went with the pepperoni pizza. I consider myself a pepperoni pizza expert and can tell you this is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten. Made fresh, arrives on a wooden board and could easily feed 2 people or 3 if you’re getting another appetizer, everything on the menu looked delicious! I ordered a glass of the first option of my flight, it was light and crisp, from France I think and was $19 for 6 oz. The reason I’m harping on the price of wine is because I paid $26 dollars the day before for one 9 oz glass of CHEAP chard at an airport restaurant. $19 for GOOD wine - how nice!
The sweet young lady that waited on me (long dark hair, I’m sorry I didn’t get your name) was so kind and attentive. She asked people when they came in if they were in a hurry or not which is important in an airport restaurant. I was in the process of finishing my meal when I had to handle some emergency business on the phone (I was in a corner and trying to keep my voice down and I apologized to my neighbors bc 99% of the time I would never do that in a restaurant, I couldn’t walk out with a tab and my daughter was having a school emergency that had to be taken care of right then). By this time the restaurant was really full and I was trying to grab the attention of the sweet waitress so I could get out of the way, she quickly took care of me and the only reason I’m mentioning this is bc I hope she sees the post bc I didn’t get a chance to tell her in person what a delight she was on such a stressful day. I’m so glad I made the trip to terminal D and the next time I’m flying through Dallas, I will definitely visit Cru again.“

“Great Place to just unwind and grab a cold drink and great food after work“

“Love being a diamond member“

“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.“

“Friendly service at the bar“

“Gem of Lake Highlands! How are we lucky enough to have this place? I can’t say enough good things. Food is great. Saw friends this time, typical small town LH experience. $140 meal feels equal or better than $350+ outside the neighborhood.“

“Date night good vibe in this place food was good excellent service……“

“Came to Rye for a pop-up tasting menu featuring RJ Yoakum, and the whole night was a vibe from start to finish.

We arrived early and grabbed pre-dinner cocktails on the patio, which honestly set the tone for the evening. The fire pit tables + evening atmosphere were perfect. We kept it classic with Old Fashioneds and martinis, and both were very well executed. Simple, balanced, and clearly made by someone who knows what they're doing. There was also a blueberry graham cracker cocktail (can't remember the name, unfortunately) that was surprisingly delicious and easily could've been dessert in a glass.

The tasting itself was an 8-course menu and absolutely incredible. Since this was a one-night pop-up, I won't go into detail on the food, but every course was thoughtful, creative, and genuinely delicious. One of those meals where you're excited for the next plate the second the last one's cleared.

Service really stood out. The team was attentive without hovering, cleaned up seamlessly between courses, and made sure our drinks were never empty. They also offered solid wine pairings that complemented the menu really well and elevated the experience overall.

One extra thing that really sealed it for me: after dinner, the second chef Taylor and the owner/manager Tanner came over and hung out with us for a bit. As someone who's a bit of a foodie nerd, I genuinely appreciate when chefs and operators take the time to talk food, concepts, and the thought behind the menu. It made the experience feel personal and intentional, not just transactional.

If this pop-up is any indication of what Rye is capable of, it's definitely a place worth returning to. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. Would absolutely come back.“

“Excellent service and food….. always and I can cheat and grab half a piece of Red Velvet cake !!!!“

“My son and I came by after his baseball tournament to try The Velvet Taco and it did not disappoint! We were so impressed, the service was great and the food was amazing. The protein bowl was delicious, and my son was obsessed with the bacon burger taco. We will definitely be stopping here again sometime on our way home !!“

“Thus was my first time here. It was my bday dinner and the food was pretty good. We had one appetizer that needed to be heated but otherwise it was a great experience. Marcus was our server and he got everything right! It was 11 of us and I do believe each of us will come back.“

“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.“

“Best staff in Oak Cliff. I always feel welcome and taken care of at Nova. The food is excellent and the drinks are delicious.“

“The dirty blond beer is awsome!!!“

“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!!“

“The Zodiac Room is a delightful lunch spot, in the historic, downtown Neiman Marcus. I love everything about this place from the celebrity photos near the elevators to the delicious popover with strawberry butter. On this visit, I ordered my favorite-- pot roast. It is the most tender pot roast I have ever had. Afterward, I enjoyed black and white cake. I can't wait to go back!“

“Our bartender Eli was amazing. Very informative and helpful when it came to choosing our drinks. And he was so friendly. Definitely loved the food and will be back soon“

“Great tacos! Get there early or you will be in a line. Good news is the one moves quickly!“

“I stopped in for dinner at Saint Ann and sat on the patio, which has a great vibe. It wasn’t busy at all, which surprised me since I had made a reservation, but it made for a relaxed evening. Parking is a bit awkward, it’s in the high‑rise next door, but it wasn’t much of a fuss once I figured it out. Calamari for the appetizer was on point. For my entree, I had the roasted chicken and was able to substitute the sides with no issue. Drinks were delicious, service was smooth, and the overall atmosphere was really nice. I hope it gets busier for the staff because it’s a solid spot.“

“Amazing food and Gustavo was a fabulous waiter. He had great recommendations and suggestions, was very attentive and my experience was so relaxing, enjoyable and delicious. Best homemade pasta, and with the flavors I couldn’t believe the taste & flavor cacophony! ❤️“

“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!“

“Cool place if you ask me had a lot of good times in it’s short time open Good folks cold beer best drinks lots of cool things yet to come“

“Meet your new burger obsession 🍔
The new Wagyu Burger @rambleroomsniderplaza is everything you want — juicy, rich and perfectly stacked.

And while you’re there, don’t skip the classics: the Steak Frites cooked to perfection and their crisp Caesar Salad that somehow makes greens feel indulgent 🥗 order the Caesar salad !!!!

Ramble Room really knows how to do comfort food with a little luxury.“

“I honestly can’t recall the last time I had adored a restaurant experience like I have this evening. From the second I walk in the door, the incredible staff, the severely impressive and playful cuisine. When I say impressive staff. JP went through ever step with me. Not only was he a delight, kind tentative. Everyone was! I have already sent out a punch of messages for all my friends to come here!! I have much more of the menu to explore!!!“

“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!!“
