“One of the best seafood restaurants in the country. Whenever I am in town I always stop by this restaurant. And we usually order fried calamari and crab spinach dip for starters. Now main dish of choice depends of what we’re craving. Their lobster bisque remind me of home. They have huge portions (everything bigger in TEXAS) and great variety of seafood meals to pig out on. A+ restaurant“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but Page absolutely deserved this. She was our bartender at a speakeasy and was phenomenal from start to finish. Incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely passionate about what she does.

The cold shoulder? Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly balanced, smooth, and crafted with real care. Page elevated the entire experience, and we left talking about how great she was long after we walked out.

If you’re lucky enough to have Page as your bartender, you’re in for a great night. Highly recommend!“

“Xperience is ALWAYS a vibe! It had been a while since my last visit, but we chose Xperience to celebrate my little sister's birthday—and it did not disappoint. The DJ was on point, the crowd was just right, and the overall vibe was unmatched. The food and drinks were on another level, and I have to shout out Sierra—she was AMAZING. Even with multiple tables to manage across the restaurant, she made us feel like we were her only priority. Xperience will always be my go-to spot for that grown and sexy, chill type of night.“

“Goldie’s wasn’t just exquisite—it was restorative.

I went solo, not out of necessity but intention. I wanted to savor something quietly beautiful, and Goldie’s delivered in every way. The food was a symphony of warmth and precision: flavors that lingered, textures that comforted, and plating that whispered elegance without shouting. I took my time, letting each bite remind me that solitude can be a celebration.

From the moment I stepped in, the host greeted me with a kind smile and said, “We’re so glad you’re here. Some nights are meant for just you and the food.” It wasn’t just a welcome—it was permission to be fully present.

My server was phenomenal. Respectful, intuitive, and genuinely uplifting. They didn’t just take my order—they guided me through it, offering suggestions that felt tailored to my mood. Every recommendation hit the mark, and their presence made me feel cared for without ever hovering.

And the rest of the team? They moved like a quiet orchestra—refilling water before I even noticed it was low, checking in with subtle grace. It was hospitality at its finest: unobtrusive, thoughtful, and deeply human.

Goldie’s reminded me that dining alone isn’t lonely—it’s a chance to reconnect with yourself, especially when the people around you treat your presence like a gift.“

“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.“

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!“

“We absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is like 50s, retro, a touch of mid century modern. It’s always busy, but the service excellent and very friendly. We have eaten at every Snooze location in Arizona, and the food is consistently excellent across all locations. Trust me, don’t snooze on Snooze.“

“This was our first time trying this restaurant, and it exceeded our expectations. We sat outside on the patio near the water feature. The atmosphere was very romantic. Jordan provided outstanding service. The food & drinks were exemplary. Highly recommend the Ginger Mule, Lemon Drop Martini, Prawn Pad Thai, Sticky rice, and Grilled Pork Spare Ribs! Everything was clean, fresh, and delicious.“

“I love coming to Nonna | Tabu—it hits that sweet spot between fancy and comfy. The moment you step in, the brick walls, warm lighting, and wood-oven give it a cozy but special feel. The staff always seem to care, and there’s something satisfying about knowing the dishes are seasonal and thoughtfully made. Add in live jazz and cocktails at Tabu, and it feels like a place to slow down and enjoy the night—not just eat.“

“We love eating here because it’s such a flexible place! Something for everyone. Our favorite however is Bavette Grill and their FABULOUS food & patio!“

“This is one of my favorite Knox/Henderson bars. The food is spectacular, the location is awesome (they even have free parking) and the ambiance is pure Dallas awesome. The prices are decent and the selection of draft/ bottled beer is excellent. I love their cheeseburgers! Extra props for the propane heaters outside. They keep it warm enough to sit outside all winter.“

“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!“

“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“

“super cute spot! came on a slower night and the drinks are much more affordable than you’d think and i love how they had a dj on a thursday night. a little chilly in there though, but im sure it gets really warm in there when it’s packed.“

“We had an amazing experience at Yujo. Tony went out of his way to make my birthday special from complimentary appetizers to desserts. The fish was so fresh and sushi rice was on point and better than any Japanese restaurant I’ve frequented in Dallas. They spent 4 hours just making their sushi rice. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“So glad we discovered this neighborhood restaurant. We loved everything we ate and the outdoor dining with the fire wall was fantastic. Highly recommend the deviled eggs and quail tenders for appetizers“

“Food was amazing!! Definitely takes me back to Italy. Wish I lived closer!!“
