“This was the most enjoyable meal I had during my trip to Dallas. This is a Michelin restaurant, and overall, it is qualified. I enjoyed its steak very much.“

“Absolutely obsessed with Mister Charles. This is the restaurant I take every single visitor to when they come to Dallas. Whether it’s friends from out of town or family visiting for the first time, this is always my go-to spot and it never misses. The food is perfection, the service is top-notch, and the vibe somehow manages to be both elevated and welcoming.

It is more than just a meal, it is an experience. Every detail feels special, from the beautifully plated dishes to the warm ambiance and thoughtful wine list. You do need to plan ahead because reservations book up quickly, but it is always worth it. Everyone I bring says it is the best meal they have had in Dallas and I completely agree. It is hands down my favorite restaurant in the city.“

“I recently had a wonderful date night with my boyfriend at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the hostess and promptly seated. Our waiter, Jacy, was amazing and helped us choose our cocktails while explaining everything on the menu in detail. When our food arrived, it was absolutely delicious. I’ve never had such a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this place!“

“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!“

“Outstanding venue!!! We will be back.“

“We ate here, New Year’s Eve and every single thing we got from the cocktails to every course of food was excellent! Our waitress gave excellent service! I definitely recommend“

“We have eaten in the restaurant before and it was wonderful. Food and service. We ordered from Door Dash and the food and service were excellent. Part of our order was forgotten in bag. The manager delivered it and added some treats we did not order as apology. The fact this place has great food, service and cares about customers is the reason I wish there was more than 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will be back and order for delivery again. Customer service was 100 ⭐️!“

“Delicious food and drinks relaxing atmosphere.“

“We love DL Mack's! From the minute we walked in it feels like home. The hostess staff is polite, friendly and accommodating. We went during peak dinner hours and they never missed a beat. A big shout out to our server Preston, very attentive, informed us of the new menu items and checked on us frequently/as needed. Delicious food! Great offerings! We'll definitely be back!!!“

“Wow wow wow! We’ve been coming to Rye for almost four years now and they just keep getting better and better! They also must’ve recently renovated inside, it looks amazing! Drinks were also absolutely phenomenal. My husband loved them!

We had Trinity as our waitress and not only was she a phenomenal foodie with her recommendations, but an absolute sweetheart! 10/10 recommend!“

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

“It was wonderful to dine at the Zodiac in the Iconic Neiman Marcus flagship store. We enjoyed a lovely luncheon. This flagship store will be closing after the Holidays, and we will return again before the store officially closes. The service is impeccable. Victor is OUTSTANDING and has been with Neiman Marcus for over 20 plus years. The iconic popovers and strawberry butter and chicken broth in a demitasse cup make it a special experience. You can dine in other Neiman Marcus locations across the country, but none will ever be what the Zodiac room is on the 6th floor in this historic Dallas store.“

“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.“

“A wonderful place. The service was over the top. I had the prime rib and creamed spinach. My wife had the lobster of the day, which was a crab cake with a 2lb lobster on it. I lived mine. The spinach was one of the best I've had. My wife loved hers. Usually I get a little leftovers from her orders, but not this time. (Hahahaha).“

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

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

“Fantastic food, atmosphere, drinks, ect“

“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.“

“Came in for lunch, I live near by but have never dined and decided to take my friend out for a quick lunch while they visited. Overall the food was amazing and the drinks were great too. Nice portion sizes and attentive staff. The crab cake melt and chili we're stand outs, being from Miami and having authentic ceviche was a bit disappointed in their rendition of the dish but I'm in Texas so I didn't expect much 😅. Overall would highly recommend stopping bye for a bite, I will definitely be back.“

“EXCELLENT service and cuisine.. We celebrated our 41st anniversary and we could not have enjoyed a better experience from the time we were greeted at the door. And the Happy Anniversary placard at our table was an unexpected joy. The food. The service. The atmosphere... 10 stars!“

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

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

“They gave me a birthday sign and sprinkled stars on the table to help me celebrate. The chef wrote "Happy Birthday" on the plate, and it was too cute! We tried it for the first time due to Restaurant Week, even though we all ordered something else. The chicken and waffles were seasoned perfectly! I will be back to try it again!“

“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!“

“Everything was excellent. Chloe is amazing.“

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

“Very nice open atmosphere !!!“

“Sundown at Granada is an incredible venue for our showcases! The intimate atmosphere, fantastic staff, and great crowd always make for an unforgettable experience. We love performing here and can’t wait for the next one!“

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

“Very conflicted with this review. Went here for my birthday and booked the champagne room only to find out when we got there that the room wasn’t opened on mondays. For the amount of times they texted us prior to the reservation, you would think they would let us know we wouldn’t get the room we reserved. HOWEVER, our waitress Eris ( sorry if i misspelled ) was PHENOMENAL! every one of her recommendations was 10/10 and she truly saved the experience…. but then came the steak…. i ordered a medium and it was OVER they took it back and the manager came out to apologize and brought us some truffle friends while we waited - then the GM comes with our new steak and it’s UNDER… for this to be a steakhouse i found this to be incredibly disappointing but themanager then coming back to apologize and comping the steak tells us they really care about their brand the customer experience and for that i will still come back and would recommend to others -“

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

“This restaurant is always amazing and the service was great! Lupe at 6th and congress was so nice and helpful! And of course, the food is on point.“

“Our waitress was absolutely a 10/10—super friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the same standard. I ordered a cheeseburger and asked for it to be well-done, but when it came out, it was way overcooked—actually burnt. I still tried to eat it without complaining, but it really took away from the experience. Overall, the staff was wonderful, but the food just didn’t deliver.“

“I’m not good at words; go here fastly and buy all the things. You’ll very likely regret not doing everything I just recommended.“

“I ordered an online lunch order and when I arrived it wasn't ready but I was a few mins early so I didn't mind waiting.They ended up running out the chicken I ordered so they let me sub an item. In addition, the manager who greeted me when I arrived refunded me my money, gave me a free drink, and let me know I was eligible for employee discounts. THIS is how you customer service!! I'll be using that discount a lot! He deserves an award“

“Overall, my experience was good. I wish there was a little bit more of a brunch option for Sunday noon. There wasn't a lot of people there, which was kind of shocking I think if there was some items that leaned a little bit towards a brunch menu, it would increase your revenue. The food was outstanding. The server was great. The coffee needs help.“

“Cedar & Vine is our favorite neighborhood spot! It is kid-friendly, the food quality is great, and service is always excellent. The kid's menu has great options at very reasonable prices. For the adults, the cocktails are excellent and the chef specials are always delicious and unique. We are very regular customers and are so thankful for this little gem in Lake Highlands.“

“We went here to have a romantic dinner for our babymoon. I was able to get a mocktail, my husband had a charred ribeye steak, I had roasted chicken and we tried charred broccolini (it wasnt for us but seasoned so well)! Ending with a Butterscotch creme Brulee! Our waitress was so kind, friendly and made us feel special. We can't thank her enough for the experience.“

“Date night good vibe in this place food was good excellent service……“

“Listen….my wife and I are suckers for non big name dining. So tonight we were able to go on a date night for the first time in over a year and I happened to find this restaurant on accident looking for a different one. THE. BEST. mistake I’ve ever made. I got a reservation for the patio area and it did not disappoint. It’s quiet and cozy with a great view of the restaurant interior and we were off to the races at that point. The gentleman who took care of us tonight was a younger guy by the name of Elliott. While he told us he was new to The Porch, you would have never known. His knowledge of the menu was incredible and we didn’t have a question he couldn’t answer. The food was unparalleled and while I would say at this point that you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu: I will absolutely vouch for the food we got that I would say are must try dishes. -Cornbread Fritters -basically hushpuppies made with cornbread, jalapeño and cheddar cheese then deep fried and served with a spicy mayo. (Don’t let the dip fool you. Neither of us are mayo fans. But I would buy an entire jar of that) -Giant Handmade pretzel. It’s as advertised. -Shortrib Stroganoff…this was my dinner and it was incredible. It’s exactly what you think. It’s a stick to the ribs, hearty meal that will fill you up or give you leftovers for a day or two. -The Standard Burger…again. As advertised. It is THE standard. And be ready, you will need both hands and a fork lift to eat it. If you like pickles, the bread and butter pickles are hands down the best pickles I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The drinks were fantastic as well. I always use an old fashioned to gage the bar and restaurant. It exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Folks, you can’t go wrong here. I would highly recommend The Porch to anyone to try. My wife snd I will be back as frequently as we can. The management is incredible and so is the whole experience! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Excellent location of this restaurant, with a delicious variety of eating and drinking options. Ideal to refresh yourself and recharge your stomach's energy. ??? Inside the Dallas Botanical Garden, with a beautiful view, an environment with natural beauty wherever you walk and see.“

“Had a great experience at Café Momentum during my short stay in Dallas. Amazing food, welcoming staff.“

“My stay at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas was outstanding. The property is beautiful, with a classic 1920s vibe that’s been updated with modern touches through recent renovations. It still feels like a historic estate but with contemporary comfort. The grounds are well-kept and impressive, and my room was comfortable and stylish. The bar was a highlight, serving great drinks—the margarita was a standout. The restaurant delivered solid food with a good wine selection to match. Service was top-notch, from the valet to the staff, everyone was friendly and attentive. I’d highly recommend this place for a memorable stay in Dallas.“

“Had my cousin bridal shower there and big shouts out to Severe he really was a great host and because of him we will be back“

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

“I had booked a rehearsal dinner at the restaurant and the food was AMAZING. My father loves steaks and he said this was the best steak he ever had. Service was great. We did go over our initial time that we had reserved - but the hostess was so nice that she pardoned our overtime because of how much we had enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend this place!!!“
