Went to lunch to celebrate a birthday which the staff knew per the reservation details. Ordered a Bloody-Mary and I was brought a tall beer glass with NO ice and a pre-squeeze lime floating in the middle. I was just flabbergasted. So that set the tone for rest of the meal.
Service was the oddest part of the whole meal. Staff briskly dropped plates without myself or my partner able to even say thank you before they disappeared to the next table without acknowledgment. By this point in the meal we were trying to stay positive as we do enjoy the food.
In classic R&D style they try to get you out of your table within the hour as they are constantly overbooked. Overall just an awkward, oddly paced birthday lunch.
Also guys I don’t care if you’re waiting, take your hat off you look like a jerk.
Cheers

R+D kitchen is fantastic. Our server Selam made it even better- kind, helpful & welcoming! The Thai Tuna roll was delicious and the Mediterranean Tuna salad was fantastic. And the rose’ was the perfect pairing. Look fwd to our next lunch at R+D!

A vibrant spot filled with natural light, inventive cocktails, and a menu that really delivers. It’s the perfect place for a work lunch or a round (or two) with friends.
Between us, we tried a Margarita, Aperol Spritz, Jackrabbit, and a Lemon Drop Martini—each so good that everyone ordered a second round (which says it all). The Dip Duo is generously portioned and ideal for sharing with a group, while the crudo was bright, refreshing, and paired beautifully with a crisp side salad.

One of my favorite spots in Dallas hands down. You truly can’t go wrong with their menu, but my husband loves the chicken sandwich and I always get my own sushi (a nigiri plate and their Osaka pressed sushi). Hot fudge sundae for dessert is a must!
This is an intimate restaurant great for dates, so they don’t typically seat large parties which keeps the vibes for date night perfect.

Lovely place, great service, good food. Don’t get a martini with olives though, they taste like jet fuel

The atmosphere was stylish yet comfortable, creating the perfect backdrop for a great dining experience. The menu was diverse, and each dish we tried was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. From fresh, high-quality ingredients to inventive recipes, it was clear a lot of thought goes into every plate. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to help with recommendations, making us feel right at home. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a great meal, R&D Kitchen is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!
I recently visited R and D and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The standout feature was undoubtedly the service at the bar provided by Hirani and Andrew. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Hirani’s extensive knowledge of cocktails and her ability to craft drinks with perfect balance was impressive. Andrew’s friendly conversation and quick service made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Together, they created an inviting and lively atmosphere that elevated the entire dining experience.
The ambiance at R and D complements the service perfectly—chic, cozy, and full of energy. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in making every guest’s visit special. I can’t recommend this place enough for those looking for top-notch service, expertly crafted drinks, and an incredible overall vibe. Looking forward to my next visit!

Can’t really review the food or service. Waited for 40 minutes for a table. They had numerous open tables but they didn’t seat us. Hostess was pretty rude. Big city, lots of places to eat… will move on
