“Eric provided excellent, timely service. I will be back.“

“Quarter Acre is a beautiful, serene restaurant with great service and outstanding cuisine. Every single item, from the bread, to the snacks, to the appetizers, to the entree, to the desserts, was delicious! I highly recommend, and will definitely be going back.“

“Great team in particular my server, Maria. Food was top quality too 👍“

“We absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for anything—from a cozy date night to a professional meeting. Our waiter, Will, was truly exceptional. He paid attention to every detail, checked on us at just the right moments, and made sure we felt taken care of from start to finish. His service honestly elevated the whole experience. We'll definitely be coming back—not just for the great food and ambiance, but because the service, especially from Will, was outstanding!“

“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.“

“Bittersweet holiday buffet experience. Delicious food, wide selection, including my favorite NM pot roast, lovely atmosphere, attentive, exceptional, and impeccable service. We will miss the Zodiac Room so much. Lovely memories throughout the years.“

“HG Sply Co is a must return spot, attracting hungry folks with the promise of yummy food w/ none of the artificial BS along with excellent service, i can confidently say they delivered. they handled our group of 7 with ease and our food came incredibly quick! definitely going to visit again!“

“Christian our server was absolutely amazing! The ambiance, decor, vibe and music were all on point. Appetizers didn't disappoint with the cheesesteak bites and rolls. The peppers with the cheesesteak rolls was brilliant! The dips (our fave was the salted caramel) were so whipped they make cool whip seem rough. Amazing! So delicious. My anniversary date had the seafood bisque and said it was the best she'd ever had which is hundreds of bowls from different restaurants around the globe...yes she's an expert on bisque. I had the vodka rigatoni she had the lobster linguini. She absolutely loved hers, I just liked mine a little. More on that. Toffee cake for dessert and our special coconut sundae was amazing as well (thank you for that!). Only thing not giving the entire experience top reviews is my dish. The rigatoni was very soft, like it was cooked too long as it shredded when I stabbed it with my fork. The sauce was spicy, yet too sweet. Don't get me wrong I love sweet, and a balance of the two in a pasta dish sounded just amazing. The chipotle flavor was strong enough but the sweetness overpowered the dish and IMO could use some toning down. It could practically be a dessert pasta it was so sweet. The Ruby room was a vibe for sure-perfect blend of music, atmosphere, lush drapes and booths with sexy staff going by you'd think you're in a speakeasy. Definitely a great date spot but not for business as the music was pumping. I can't wait to come back and try the steak frites-that's what I was going to get. And for my beautiful date? She just wants to put this meal on repeat! Thank you.“

“My two best friends took me to Sevy’s last night to celebrate my birthday. We had an extraordinary experience. Our waiter, Brandon was sweet, accommodating and kind. He acknowledged my birthday with rose petals tossed on the table, a visit from Mr. Sevy and the manager AND a complimentary dessert plus a Sevy’s bottle of spice to take home. I’ve dined at alot of restaurants in Dallas over many years. The customer service snd attention here was phenomenal. And, we each ordered a different entree, and each thoroughly enjoyed our selection and the wine menu. Thank you for making me feel special for an evening.“

“The food was awesome as always. The menu changes from time to time and that is really helpful to try new cutting edge dishes. The host, wait, and management staff are all great. The cooks are fantastic. One person that always stands out is Vanessa B. She is fantastic and always goes beyond to help guest and make the experience more impactful.“

“I experienced nothing but good service at the Frisco location! My son & I food was served by the time I paid for everything and it was good. Would definitely return anytime I’m in the area.“

“Everything was excellent. Chloe is amazing.“

“We absolutely LOVE the Lakehouse! We try to go a couple times a month! The view is great, the food is awesome, service is just what you need and the prices are great! A must try!“

“Fantastic food, atmosphere, drinks, ect“

“Our first time for lunch. We ordered a mimosa for the birthday girl and was told no orange juice. Then we ordered devil eggs. Told no eggs. Ask about a red wine and server said she's didn't know but would go ask. Whoever she asked didn't know either. Definitely off their game.“

“Love Renny’s! The food and service are consistent! Delicious and served hot! Service is exceptional! My new favorite!“

“Drakes hollywood was amazing! Went for our anniversary & had a great night. Our server was Louis (sp?) , who was fast, attentive, and nice. The food was great, my fiancé got the parmesan crusted fish dish, I went for the A5 Japanese wagyu & lobster mac which was all delicious. Would definitely come again.“

“The cuisine is excellent and inventive. Great atmosphere and service. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Each time we have visited Pillar has been a truly great experience. The incredible attention to detail from the service team, the unique menu, and the ambience of the room all work so well together. It's a great option for date night or business dinners.“

“wonderful atmosphere great staff and honestly food is top tier absolute gem of a pub.“

“The Mercury consistently impresses with high-quality food, stylish ambiance, and thoughtful service perfect for a celebratory evening or an intimate dinner. However, it’s not the quietest or most budget-friendly option. The fish dish I ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavor, though the portion was on the smaller side. Overall, a refined dining experience that’s worth trying, especially for special occasions. The service was good.“

“Hubby and I went to their Valentines Brunch Saturday and Calin was our waiter. His first question to us was did we have any allergies. We was honestly blown away because NO OTHER waiter asked us that question ANYWHERE! Yes I do have food allergies and I told him so. From beginning to the end of our visit he was PHENOMENAL!! We told his Manager so. There is so much negativity going on, we were very pleased to give some positivity! ?“

“Amazing food & service. Will be returning often...really loved appetizers & entrees. Looking at all the beautiful cars, motorcycles, & collectibles was a highlight, as well. Ladies...great place to surprise your car-guy for a fantastic meal.“

“This place is soooo good! First time here and blown away at the level of customer service and hospitality. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Every two'to-three weeks I stop on way home craving mushroom soup. It had been very consistent thru the years. Today however, the rich flavor and thickness was missing...like it was watered down. First time ever, just couldn't finish the bowl. Asked waiter, they said they recently noticed same thing... Anyway, suggest you ask your waiter b4 ordering, see if this has been corrected. If cutting corners, this is not the way to do it. FYI, customer since they opened.“

“The menu options are great! I was just there last week and had the macaroni and cheese with fried chicken! The blue cheese and bacon crumble on the top was absolutely amazing!!“

“Been coming here once a month since they opened. Three words.....AN INCREDIBLE PLACE. Food is plentiful and delicious.....every time I have been. Atmosphere is a little small but it really adds to the whole experience. Can't say enough about how incredibly friendly the staff is......EVERYTIME I have been. Waiting for a table is not unexpected this place is THAT GOOD!“

“Staff was friendly from the moment we entered, ambiance was cozy and elegant, and food and drinks were perfect. At the end of the night, Lynae stopped by to say hi and was just the sweetest. My partner and I will definitely be back!“

“Melody is so friendly and welcoming each time I go. And Mars was exceptionally attentive from the bar and engaged in a friendly conversation that validated another reason I love this place - it’s my neighborhood place. I’m hooked. Oh, and the food is really good too!“

“With friends and we all thought 👍 here. My salad was excellent! We ate outside too. 👏👍“

“Our daughters 17th birthday was great. Tamir our server was excellent“

“Very nice open atmosphere !!!“

“Such a wonderful experience at Ramble Room last night! Unfortunately my party and I were around 15 minutes late for our reservation, but once we arrived, the timing was no problem, we were immediately accommodated and sat by their kind hosts! Our server was lovely as well, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The Butterscotch Crème Brûlée was astounding, especially as someone who doesn't typically like crème brûlée. Will definitely be returning!“

“First time to visit and the drinks and brunch were delicious“

“Al Biernat’s Dallas TX, what can I say? This restaurant is beyond words. Food, hospitality management has left me speechless, James the manager, Marisol the waiter, Rafael the head chef and Paramo were extremely hospitable. Coming all the way from NY and having the best restaurants in NYC has proven that Al Biernat’s restaurant can compete with the best of them. Please I do understand that everyone’s palate is different but come, try and enjoy the best restaurant in Dallas you won’t be disappointed.“

“Great food and service. Unique vibe with the decor.“

“During last visit I was very unhappy because I was not given a bill, just told what I was expected to pay. Even though I paid with a debit card was never given a receipt so I could see what I was charged for. I will more than likely not be visiting again for a while, hopefully the company will make some serious changes in customer relations.“

“10/10 in every aspect. No complaints at all. Worth the money.“

“Great food, service, and ambience. Love this place.“

“Lots of fun!! We've been a few times, and we have taken a baby (10 months old) and a 3 year old, both enjoyed the show very much! It's great for all ages! You are served more food than you could eat (they have to-go boxes if you want to take home what's left), but you are supposed to eat with your hands (i would take plastic utensils next time, and baby wipes/hand sanitizer). Highly recommend! They also offer special dietary options upon request and can accommodate large groups and handicap guests as well!“

“The 8 course Chefs Tasting Menu was excellent! We were extremely pleased and surprised with every course. The staff was knowledgeable and very attentive. We look forward to going back.“

“Wonderful new take on organic and healthier foods.“

“Such a beautiful little place, with a highly skilled chef! They just opened up a bakery, with gluten free items!“

“The food is always fresh, homemade & delicious! I use Jen’s place for work catering ALL THE TIME & their delivery is done by them, not a third party, that is important to me for timing & setup of food. Can’t recommend their food enough!!“
