Hadn’t been here in decades and never to this location. Wonderful food! So fresh and the crab claws are to die for! I did have a slight issue w being able to access the meat on one of the king crab legs I ordered so as an apology the manager replaced the entire entree unprompted. You don’t see that kind of service much anymore. Was very appreciative. Definitely added to my regular rotation.

I was unfairly singled out and harassed by the valet attendant, who assumed I was going to Moxies across the street despite having a reservation. This was confusing, especially since I don’t live in Dallas and wasn’t aware of this being a common issue. To make matters worse, I was parked in a handicap spot, which should have made it clear I was a guest. The situation caused a delay in my dinner and reminded me of the unfortunate experiences I often face in this country. When I brought it up, the manager came out, listened to me, but ultimately defended the valet employee, which I understand. However, no effort was made to make things right. I’ve never had an issue at other locations, which is the only reason I gave this a 3-star rating.
