From the moment I was greeted by the manager, Amanda, to having the perfect cocktail delivered, let's have a seance, by the bartender moi who had pride in his craft, to Nancy who took care of us with waters and preparing everything for the next round.

“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.“

“Got here as an early evening stop before dinner. Bar was sleepy and staff still organizing for the impending onslaught. Service could have been more prompt given the dearth of clientele, but our bartender was intimate with the drink menu and was helpful in steering us to good selections. He was gracious to tweak recipes to the taste of my more sweet-minded friend.Appreciate any establishment dedicated to the demanding craft of cocktails over well call drinks.The bar furniture itself is amazing. Industrial swivel stools built I to the bar horseshoe which easily stow away. Points for inventive architectural detailing.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The drinks were fantastic—my saki and gin cocktail was a standout, and my friend’s rye and pumpkin drink was both unique and delicious. The food was equally impressive. The wagyu hot dogs on rye bread were unbelievable, and the local roasted vegetables, pasta, and tacos were all perfectly prepared and flavorful. We finished with their espresso chocolate cake, which was rich and decadent—a perfect ending to the meal. Highly recommend giving this spot a try! 🤤⭐️

Vegetarian options: Veggie tartare, mushroom tacos and pasta were all so good!!!!“

“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“

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

“The vibe was fun! Drinks were on the strong side for my preference, but I know a lot of people might appreciate that! We were hoping to go upstairs to the dance floor but by 10:30 it hadn't opened so we missed out and called it an early evening.“

“Went here for dinner! Had a great time! Good food! Good drinks! Good music!!!! I definitely want to return.“

“Today you guys really helped me out when my car broke down!! I appreciate you letting me and my baby wait while our car got fixed! Very, very nice people!! Thank you again!“

“Great restaurant! We visit this location every time we come to the Dallas uptown, metroplex area!“

“Absolutely loved this spot. The setting is super casual but also very chic at the same time. The entrance reminds me of a classic New York style restaurant and the level of food and service do all the talking.

The sashimi and fresh sushi are top quality with little elements of elevated taste. The seared salmon and the red snapper are my absolute favorites and I would highly recommend the Philly style wagyu roll. Subtle but obvious when you taste it.

The Japanese whiskey old fashioned. Was a highlight for me. The infusion of the smoke comes with an amazing creative element that I recommend ordering directly at the bar to watch the creation of those classic cocktail.

Next time I visit I will be sitting at the sushi bar to take in the coordination of the chefs and watch this beautiful artistry of my favorite cuisine on earth.“

“This place is fantastic! I've been a number of times & the service is always friendly & efficient. Food tried has included the Veggie Omelet, California Benedict (could use a bit more crumbled bacon), Bagel & Lox, Cinnamon Roll French Toast, & Turkey Avocado Wrap. All delicious! Pancakes & waffles come with drizzled cream cheese icing. Wasn't sure about this, but was So good! Servings are very generous. Definitely going back again!“

“Fantastic music. Great vibe. Drinks are on point and the service was amazing, even on a busy Friday night.“

“Today was our first time at Blue Mesa in Addison, and it was by far the best place to have dinner with my 3 boys. Me and my husband were very happy with our experience from delicious food to awesome service from our waitress. She was very friendly very attentive with my boys she made sure they had accommodations since they’re very picky eaters. She even brought them an ice cream sundae when they were done with dinner. Our food was beyond delicious. We will be back soon!“

“Akai isn't your average bar; it's a speakeasy experience shrouded in a touch of mystery. Finding the entrance, tucked away discreetly, is half the fun! Once inside, the intimate atmosphere, with plush seating and dim lighting, transports you back to a bygone era.But the true magic of Akai lies in the exceptional cocktails. The bartenders are masters of their craft, creating innovative and delicious drinks that are both visually stunning and a delight for the palate. From classic concoctions with a twist to modern inventions, there's something for every taste bud.And let's not forget the fantastic DJs. They curate playlists that perfectly complement the ambiance, creating a vibrant and sophisticated soundscape. Whether you're swaying to sultry jazz or grooving to upbeat remixes, the music sets the mood for a memorable night out.“

“My new favorite omakase / sushi place! It is second visit and I brough my friends to catch up and enjoy something new... Every course was full of flavor and picture perfect presentation. Thank you to all the staff who made our dinner so enjoyable. If you can get a seat at the sushi bar, it is even more fun, as you get to see the process and get inspired... :)“

“Food was absolutely amazing!! I visited for the first time today & I will definitely come back“

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

“Very impressive for an airport restaurant. Generally speaking, food and service are similar to their regular restaurant locations which seems to never be the case with airport restaurants. They have gone out of their way to keep a solid menu and a full bar as well as the feel of a restaurant that is a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle upstairs. Highly recommended.“

“I recently visited X-Patience Restaurant for my friend’s birthday, and it was a great experience. The vibe was on point—warm, inviting, and perfect for a celebration. The atmosphere had a nice balance of energy and comfort, making it a great spot to gather with friends.

I ordered the chicken and waffles, and they did not disappoint. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and well-seasoned, while the waffles were fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything was cooked perfectly and paired well together.

Service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a spot with good food and a great vibe, X-Patience is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back!“

“Amazing renovation results and Parlor is the social gem of it all. Unlike every other hotel bar / lounge I’ve been in.. It’s a great place for locals ( not just out of town guests staying here ).“

“*IMMACULATE VIBES*.“

“I recently visited and had a fantastic experience! The drinks were delicious and expertly crafted, with a great variety to choose from. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service from Leslie. She was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations that enhanced our visit. I highly recommend checking this place out—definitely a gem in the area!“

“If you were at Delucca's on Nov 18th and found a silver ring (with the number 25 on it) in the ladies restroom, please contact me. This ring is very sentimental to me. Please share as I continue my search.“

“I could not wait to get home from Dallas to write a review of this wonderful restaurant. HUGE KUDOS to the owner Craig Vaught! His personall attention to our evening made us feel like a "king and queen." He chose 3 wines to pair with 3 of his appetizers. We can recomment all 3: The Bruschetta, the Humus, and the Calamari was our favorite! We had 3 tastes of different wines: a white, a rose' and a Bold Red. We especially enjoyed the light Chemin de Provance Rose' and we got an extra glass of his Olema Cabernet Sauvignon to have with our scrumptious Filet Mignon! What a night! We will be back and hope to bring our Wine Club from our Winery in East Texas, Moody Family Wines. Thanks again Craig for a memorable evening. And our sweet attentive waitress Eridania Filpo was just GREAT!“
