Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Near Southside

Shrimp and grits for brunch was great. Just enough heat from the chorizo! The only problem is trying to decide what to order from all the classic Texas brunch offerings. Dining room was great but next time I’ll sit at the beautiful half circle bar.

Always an amazing experience. Lobster roll is incredible! Fries perfect. Martini is great. Consistently awesome, can’t recommend enough.

My hubby and I went for our anniversary (Valentine’s Day). Everything was wonderful from beginning to end. The ambiance was elegant and calm but also upbeat. The entire staff was engaging and friendly! Service is prompt. Our waiter checked in frequently, explained the menu and gave excellent recommendations. The managers on duty also frequently checked in and ensured we were pleased. One even served us our drinks and gave us chocolate covered strawberries as a parting treat! The food was *chef’s kiss*!! Soooo delicious! We had Chef Tommy’s bacon as an appetizer, the salmon for our entrees along with the brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The portions were more than enough and a very nice server boxed up all of our leftovers. We had such a nice time and definitely will be back for the next special occasion!

My wife and I enjoyed our valentines dinner here. The Valentine's dinner they offered was excellent and priced well. They offered two different options depending on the time of day, which was nice. We had the pork chop bites appetizer, which was very good. The Valentines Day dinner was excellent. We both had the cheese cake, and it was excellent. It was some of the best we have had. The ambiance was nice. We did like the wine tower where you can see them pull wine from. There are plenty of staff to wait on you and our waiter was excellent. He made sure everything arrived in a timely manner. We had a great valentines dinner here. The only thing worth mentioning is on special occasion days expect a long wait, even with a reservation. But that being said, it's worth the wait. We would definitely dine here again.

Thank you for making this evening an amazing one for us. When I initially booked my reservation I didn’t know if we had to reserve a table upstairs as it wasn’t an option for me. We showed up and thought we were going to be seated upstairs, but was informed at the front desk that we had patio seating. I was somewhat disappointed. As we sat in the bar area dispirited, we were approached by the manager. I believe he was. Long story short, he went above and beyond to ensure that we had upstairs seating and it all turned out to be an unforgettable experience for us. Thank you kind sir! Your work did not go unnoticed. Sorry I didn’t catch your name, but we really appreciate what you did. We will always dine here again whenever we are back in Dallas. I’ll remember to reserve my table upstairs next time. 😊
