12 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lavon

“I was given a bottle of your 2016 Cabernet Franc. It was delivered. In fact, I didn’t share it with anyone else. Selfish? Perhaps. However, the person who gave me the wine was such a special human. Her parents were special humans. And the way we came to know one another was truly unique, albeit, sad. I was the lucky one out of the bunch because it was an honor to know them. And to receive this bottle of wine by their daughter was a true gift.I had never had such a local wine and my expectations were low. My expectations were amiss and I’m grateful that I got to experience every last drop for myself.It was self care. Which is truly important.Gratias tibi valde, Jodie.“

“From the moment you step into Downing Bottles & Bites, you’re enveloped in a welcoming atmosphere that sets the tone for an extraordinary experience. The highlight of my visit was the friendly service provided by the bartender, whose hospitality and expert recommendations enhanced the experience.I started with the Stuffed Piquillo Pepper Plate, a dish as visually appealing as it is delicious. Each pepper was delicately stuffed with creamy goat cheese, creating a perfect balance of soft texture and rich flavor. The addition of balsamic glaze added a sweet tanginess that contrasted beautifully with the slight heat from the chili oil, while the chives offered a fresh, oniony crunch that tied all the elements together. This appetizer not only tantalized the taste buds but also set a high standard for the courses that followed.The Seared Tuna was a masterpiece of both preparation and presentation. The fish, expertly seared, was incredibly fresh and tender, practically melting in the mouth. A great portion size of Tuna too! It was enhanced by a harmonious blend of yuzu sauce and sweet soy glaze, which provided a citrusy depth and a touch of sweetness that elevated the tuna's natural flavors. The addition of orange segments, radish, jalapeño, and sesame not only contributed an array of textures—from crisp to juicy—but also infused each bite with complexity and zest. I asked the bartender for my fresh jalapeño, as personal preference for me, complimented every bite and she happily brought some more.To complement the meal, I indulged in the Espresso Martini Flight, which was a showstopper. The classic espresso martini was flawlessly executed, with a robust coffee flavor perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the vodka. The Carajillo variant brought a delightful twist with its warm, liquor-infused coffee, providing a comforting yet invigorating experience. The Lavender Vanilla, however, was a revelation—its floral notes and the smooth, creamy texture introduced a refreshing lightness that contrasted beautifully with the deeper, more intense flavors of the other two. A lovely edible flower garnish complemented the visual nicely.The attention to detail by the owner and the staff at DBB made my truly memorable. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, make sure to stop by for not only the outstanding food and drinks but also the warm, genuine service that makes this place a gem in the culinary scene. So grateful to have this establishment in Downtown Rockwall.“

“First of all when you walking in the door the customer service was amazing! The food was great! I had the buffalo 14 inch pizza the chicken was so flavorful. I picked up an individual piece of chicken and ate it, and it tasted like smoked chicken. Definitely not frozen chicken. I also liked the fact that the buffalo sauce was not over powering. A friend of mine had the five meat with jalapenos added. He said he wanted a lot of jalapenos and they did not disappoint. Granted he did get double jalapenos and it was a 3$ extra charge but like I said they did not disappoint. My wife got the Manhattan and added pineapple. She did say the pineapple had a funny taste to it so she just picked them off. But still overall she was satisfied with her pizza. Garlic knots phenomenal!!!!!! Me and my family will absolutely be coming back to this place.“

“Love this winery So relaxing out in the country side. I give most of the wines a 7-8 out of a 10. We do prefer red wine. Of course it's all personal preference. The gals that work here are very friendly and offer quick service. We did try a flatbread pizza and it was delicious. Looking forward to our next outing there in a couple weeks.“
