“Oh, Adam F. . . .Adam, our server, was a treasure last night. I had four guests with me at Tesar's new restaurant on the Ritz Carlton LC's property (formerly the Four Seasons), and we were consistently delighted by every course we shared.A family-style, sharing experience for many of the larger dishes, Knife Italian is, according to Adam (oh, Adam . . .), an interpolation of Tesar's family recipes mixed with modern cuisine's many techniques and presentations. Fear not, however: none of the foods were inherently "new," but really tweaked representations of classics.We had the following menu after the amuse bouche of fava beans and aged balsamic dressing:Kingfish with mussel bearnaise and caviar (light and delightful) Burrata salad (while burrata is great, it really was the tomatoes here that shined)Charcuterie board (tasty and varied)Potato gnocchi with shaved truffles (a MONSTER, and, all things considered, the table's favorite for the night)Eggplant parm (mine's just as good *sigh*, but almost reaffirming in its simple, flavorful preparation)120-day aged ribeye (essentially, a smaller take on bistecca fiorentina, and very satisfying)All were tremendous dishes with great skill in preparation. I was a little disappointed in the wine menu, but it's just been open for three days. While they had some fine selections, I would greatly encourage the ownership and the sommelier (a delightful, young professional who was acquiescent enough to chat about a common acquaintance we shared) to explore getting some Sicilians, Sardinians, and other wines on their menu.In summary, a really lovely night of food, warmth, and drink. I'm returning in the not-too-distant future to sample different things and recall some faves from last night's bacchanal.Also, Adam's the man.*update your Google profile, KE . . . menu options in the review don't correlate to your menu.Vegetarian options: Ask the server.“
“We had a reservation and were on time. There were tables available, but we and another couple had to wait. Service could have been better. Waited awhile before our server came. We were ready to order but had to wait about 10 minutes to do so. The 3 men sitting behind us were so loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk. All they were doing was drinking. Maybe they should have been seated in the bar area?“
“Enjoyed another excellent meal courtesy of Gorji and team last evening. The atmosphere is great; dim with candles and interesting music from Latin to French and everything in between. The wine list is incredible and tweaked often by Gorji who writes his own personal notes on the menu to assist in selection. Loved ours so much we took a bottle home.We had the sea bass and filet, grapefruit and prosciutto salads and ice cream and kefir with coffee. However, we’ve tried just about everything on the menu and have never been disappointed.The service is always impeccable and Gorji and team are most gracious hosts, greeting you upon arrival and seeing you off at the end of the meal. In a way you are their guest. The food is expertly, creatively, and I imagine lovingly prepared.Please be aware, it is not a place for children. Cell phone use is prohibited (love this). It is small with 5 tables. Parking is tight even though he has several reserved places. Plan ahead and/or take an Uber. The parking lot also has a golf cart shuttle. Don’t plan on ordering soft drinks or beer. It’s not that sort of place. Review the offerings in advance which are absolutely incredible and special in every way. I can’t imagine anyone would be disappointed, yet it may not be for everyone. This establishment is incredibly unique and very special. Truly a treasure of Dallas/Addison. If you have not visited Gorji you should put it on your to-do list. Then make your reservation and enjoy some of the best food our area has to offer (evidenced by his many awards). And, no tipping.“
“We started ordering our dinner when the waitress started farting. She stopped writing our order down and just stared at the ceiling. I look over at my wife in amazement! 10 seconds into her fart I tried to continue my order. At this point, her fart was so loud I had to yell my order, for her to hear it. 30 seconds later, when she was finished farting, she pointed out the dangers of holding in farts.. a bad attitude, gingivitis and even ingrown toe nails! Thank you so much!! Also, the steak was amazing but the restaurant smells like boiled onions and garbage….5 stars. Good first date place.“
“John was great. It looked like our section was short handed so we had some significant delays in our service. The FOH manager came by to give us my wife's espresso martini we had asked for it to have baileys but he advised multiple times that was a “different espresso martini”. We left disappointed overall.“
“Fabulous Mexican restaurant.From the entrance to the exit - there is nothing to not like. Professionals at every interaction.Beautiful decor, fantastic menu, serving delicious foods.My cousin took us here after the big eclipse, and we all enjoyed it very much.Hector was the ultimate host!“
