“My quandary: give Hannah’s the rave review it deserves and risk not being able to get a table on a Saturday night or just pretend we never made it to dinner? Looking for a new restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, my wife made a reservation at this gem in Denton and we were not disappointed. Our table was laid out with rose petals to celebrate the occasion and the staff wished us a Happy Anniversary. The menu had a multitude of items that sounded mouth-watering, so the decision making process was tortuous. We settled on bacon wrapped dates and steamed mussels as appetizers. The dates were moist and the bacon crispy, a perfect bite of sweet and salty. The mussels were perfectly steamed with a delicious broth and the perfect crispy, warm French bread to sop it up. A great start. My wife ordered Beef Cheek stuffed Ravioli, remembering how much she loved the beef cheeks we first ate in Spain. Ground meat in the ravioli topped with a perfect ragu of tomatoes, beef cheek, and vegetables. I am drawn to duck whenever I see it on the menu and the Rosemary smoked Duck Breast was cooked to perfection; crispy skin, juicy meat, and a sun dried cherry pico tart enough to complement its maple syrup glaze. The sliced duck breast was served atop a wild rice and vegetable pancake that was unique and perhaps the star of the dish. Come on, who wouldn’t love pancakes for dinner? A couple glasses of wine with dinner, a slice of award winning carrot cake for desert with an espresso, and exquisite service all evening long made for an ideal anniversary celebration. Thank you to the kitchen staff and everyone in the front of the house and remember to save us a table on Saturday nights. See you soon.“

“zabiha halal certified place, the only within the vicinity that is not selling pakistani or indian food but savouring the taste buds with scrumptious burgers, tacos, quesadillas. A blend of american and mexican food was there with a good range of burgers, sandwiches and quesadillas. The owner was very kind and ensured that our order is served on time. He also offered us complimentary pakistani style tea (a rare thing to find in USA) and a coffee as well.

Highly recommended!!“

“The great atmosphere and amazing staff make this one of my favorite places in Flower Mound!“

“Sidewalk Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Denton county. We have not had one thing to complain about, the food, service, and the cleanliness. Sam is great in the kitchen but SUSIE Is the sweetest friendliest owner we have ever met! Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The best pancakes ever! Always have to get a to go box.“

“Jacque, Nancy, and Erica were phenomenal. They were so attentive, friendly and their customer service is top tier. Exactly the type of workers you want as the face of your business. I’m not from here but they made my visit that much more pleasurable especially in a time where people don’t care about customer service anymore.“

“Love Korner Cafe. Great food and even better service“

“First time trying this place. I was impressed by the spicy jalapeño hamburger I got. (I couldn’t find the name online) Was absolutely delicious and spicy even for me & I love spicy food. The drinks where delicious and the place was clean. I would highly recommend and would go back again.“

“Cute place! Thankfully there were veggie options. The only thing was the hash browns were not crispy enough, they were more liked a shredded baked potato. Service was great! Emily was really sweet and friendly. Lavender iced tea was fantastic!“

“Nice place really like it.“

“Delicious food and prompt friendly service.“

“Friendly People good food“

“Chef Hector is back and food is amazing!!! Wednesday Pasta Nights are exceptional (kids eat free) and Friday Steak Night's are a meat lovers dream! Haven't tried Brunch yet, but Hector NEVER disappoints, so I trust it is wonderful.“

“Great service and great location , I came in on Tuesday morning this week . For starters I was greeted immediately as I sat down by morgan. She was very helpful with my questions and also entertaining the whole time. The beer is amazingly cold I always get the dirty blonde. The smoked wings are the best with the Cajun dry rub.“

“Recently, I finished my first 6 sessions at O2 Life. Carrie Padilla (Owner) was amazing to work with. She explains every step and set me up for success completing my first round of O2 Life. I was new to the EWAK process but felt at ease learning how this activity would benefit me in the short and long term. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their overall physical performance, athletic ability, or just jumping back from a bad Covid-19 spell. Who would have thought having high doses of oxygen could make you feel so good.“

“We just had a party for my best friend’s 40th birthday here this past weekend. I could not recommend this establishment enough!! From the private room and patio to all management who listened and made her dreams come true to the waitstaff. Sydney and Dakota worked the party behind the bar and were so amazing! Sydney was so fun and creative with her drink specials! The food was amazing! The patio was perfect for sunset “golden hour” photos. They have AV hook up, supplied linen table cloths and were so accommodating with every request! I absolutely will have another party here.“

“Great view from the patio of the lake. The beers were cold. The Bourbon Glaze Salmon was great. I liked the mash potatoes as a side. The seasonal vegetables were good but too many carrots. Next time I would try a different side. My wife got the burger. The bun was fresh and flavorful but the burger was a bit dry. She did like the ranch dressing that came with the side salad.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is amazing and the service is even better!

Go see Aspen in the morning and get the best food and service in the DFW. Pro tip- get the jalapeño gravy on everything!

Awesome experience, every time we’ve come.“

“Limited Time Walleye Dinner. Delicious. Cheese Curds. Culver's Root Beer. Clean. Friendly service. High Quality.“

“We celebrated my daughter’s bridal shower in the Vintage Room recently. It was so nice! The food was incredible and the room was beautiful. Both Jenn, the owner, and Sara, our event hostess, were a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for a place to have an event- I highly recommend Sip + Savor!“

“Our Neighborhood held a monthly ladies birthday event here for 20 .Setting up the event with Rohith was very easy. He offered special pricing on food and drink. One of our ladies was in a wheelchair so he provided a low top table for her. Our waitress worked hard and was cheerful and cute. The music was turned down slightly so everyone could talk. The food was good. We were there early on a Monday which was a great time as the restaurant was not crowded. A number of the ladies commented that they had a fun time. It was a great place to have our event.“

“Servers polite. Food was hot, and good tasting. FYI big portions. Funny thing, just because I was traveling, I asked for a coffee O’le, with whipped cream, servers was, eye searching, then said, coffee with hot milk and whip cream? And I was smiling with the biggest grin, oh yes please.
Second, good time there.“

“#Vegetarian review

Visited this place on weekday morning for breakfast. It was decent busy and the servers were just ready to welcome everyone. The staff was very welcoming and polite.

Things we ordered :
1. Orange juice : 4/5 : Good and refreshing.
2.Black coffee : 4/5 : Good to taste and made perfectly
3. Avacado toast : 4/5 : Freshly made and was served with seeds bread. But it was just one slice in the plate with fruits on side.
4. Veggie Skillet : 3.5/5 : It’s a skillet layered with potato hash brown , veggies and cheese. I got my mushroom replaced with broccoli and jalapeños. I didn’t even take eggs but had toasted bread as side which was fresh and nice.

Found it to be a bit on pricey side as compared to other local diners. But the staff was really great

“This was an unexpected stay after a missed airline connection. We arrived around 2am and checked into a very nice room. We haven’t stayed in a Courtyard as new as this— really nice! We had no luggage and were provided with all we needed, toothpaste/toothbrush, razor/shave cream, comb, brush, hairspray. The beds were comfy for our very brief stay. Towels were fluffy, bathroom very sleek, modern. Taxi called for us when we needed it. These weary travelers are very appreciative!“

“We ate here today and had a wonderful experience. They were accommodating with the table so we could see the Packers game, patient with our spirited young child, and the food was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. We’ll for sure be back often!“

“Had a fun time with friends at LP! Great food! Husband especially liked the awesome beer selection and his delicious burger! We received great service with Sibley who was a joyful delight and so sweet! We will definitely go again!“

“Mrunal helped chop the paneer tikka, which turned out delicious in the paneer tacos. The tacos were flavorful, with well-seasoned paneer and fresh ingredients, making it a tasty and enjoyable meal. Thanks to her help, the dish was even better!“

“This food-joint is a gem! The sandwiches, tacos, loaded fries, milkshakes, and boba drinks are all incredibly tasty and fresh. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is top-notch – friendly and attentive. Whether you’re craving something savory or sweet, this spot has you covered. Highly recommend stopping by!
