- HHendrixDallas - Fort Worth •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food is truly the star here! Had the truffle fries and sushi for appetizers and both were so delicious! I had the Chicken Penne alla vodka and my wife the braised rib and they were both so delicious and full of flavor. Value is AMAZING for the quality of the food. The inside is beautiful and ambiance was comfortable and relaxing. Although this is not an insult by any means this restaurant is not an expensive steakhouse so don't expect that type of ambiance (low lights, formal attire severs, $100 steaks lol) here. Perfect date night, we will be going back often!More infoSeven Doors Kitchen + CocktailsPrice: Expensive• American• The Colony•4.6
- TTracyVIPDallas - Fort Worth •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI have wanted to try Windmills for quite some time, and we finally did for Valentine's Day. It's such a unique brewery. From the outside, it doesn't look like a brewery at all, but their beers are solid. We tried two different IPAs and liked them both. The food looks and tastes very gourmet. The presentation is beautiful, and the entrees are flavor-packed. The cocktails are lovely as well. I had the chicken tika as my entree; my husband got the burger. We split the prawns as an appetizer and shared a special Valentine's Day raspberry tart for dessert. They have live jazz music there often and had it the evening we were there as well. There were only two small things that I didn't like and that was how loud it was. It's a great place to listen to music but if you want to have a conversation it's a bit difficult. Also, our waitress was wonderful but it took a really long time to get our check. That could have been because it was a holiday and they were fully booked, so I don't fault her. We will be back in the future for sure.More infoWindmillsPrice: Expensive• Brewery• The Colony•4.2
- JJakeDallas - Fort Worth •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoIngredients were clearly fresh and perfectly prepared into amazing dishes. The place seems like an authentic restaurant true to itself and it didn't feel like we were in Texas. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful and made the experience better. Prices were incredible for quality of food. We came for Valentine's Day and Highly recommend this place for any occasion!More infoQuartino-GrandscapePrice: Moderate• Italian• The Colony•4.7
- LLeslieDallas - Fort Worth •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe went to Thirsty Lion on Valentine’s Day, which was yesterday. We had the Valentine’s Day specials. The shrimp was amazing and my salmon was so good. There was a pairing of wine, white or red with our meals. I believe Ashton was our server. She is actually going to school and working two days a week and was very nice. We enjoyed visiting with her! We made a reservation for 3 o’clock since we were on our way and were afraid that we would not get in for their special! We love this location in The Colony, highly recommend! Just remember that they do not have happy hour on holidays!More infoThirsty Lion - The Colony, TXPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• The Colony•4.6
- BBrandonDallas - Fort Worth •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoMy wife and I had a wonderful time at Haywire Plano. We came on a Tuesday and was surprised to how busy it was, but that was no concern as we had reservations in place and we're seated pretty swiftly. For our starter we had the mini Elk tacos which were pretty good. For the main course I ordered the 18oz Angus Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye with a side of the White cheddar havarti mac&cheese and Tallow fries. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. My wife ordered the Texas farm raised red fish which came with jumbo lump crab&rock shrimp, spicy lemon zydeco sauce, whipped potatoes and a frisée citrus salad. Per my wife it was an amazing meal. When we go back I'll be trying the 33oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye.More infoHaywire - PlanoPrice: Expensive• American• Plano•4.8
