I was happy to find out…read morethat given that since I booked through Amex Travel and use my AMEX platinum card that I was able to get a daily breakfast perk of $65 a day at the Little Daisy. We went the first morning and decided to get a light breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised that it was a French and American café which funny enough we had just completed our France vacation in October so we were very much looking forward to Parisian breakfast. We ordered a croissant and two sparkling wine and they were absolutely fabulous. I can tell that this was made at a bakery that had a lot of French influence. The croissant was light and airy, but also crisp, and we also ordered another round of sparkling wine, which was all covered. Throughout the trip, we came every morning for breakfast to the point that the bartender's knew us by name. Zee was our server and was absolutely amazing. Her bright smile and pleasant demeanor greeted us every morning. One of those mornings we were actually headed out to the Dallas Cowboys game so needed to eat something more substantial. I ordered the croissant croquette Madame which came with seasoned potatoes. It was more American than French, but I thoroughly enjoyed it with its flavors. Since it was Christmas time Santa Claus came in that morning to take photos. If you're staying in the Dallas area, I highly recommend coming to the Little Daisy not just if you're a guest but if you're in the city, this is a place that you will enjoy thoroughly decorated amazingly with Little French Easter eggs..

We ate here for breakfast during our stay at the Thompson. We had reservations for 8:30am. While we…read morearrived on time, the hostess seemed to have a little bit of trouble navigating the seating chart. It was a little awkward, but after that got sorted out, we were seated. I enjoyed my food, but felt like the juice I ordered felt a little blah- it was a pre-bottled Beet Juice and I think a fresh one would have been better. I ordered the Little Daisy Crab Cake Benedict which was pretty good- at $34 it was a bit overpriced. This felt more like a dish in the neighborhood of $26ish because let's be real, a third of this plate are chunks of potato. Decent amount of lump crab meat and the other flavors like the hollandaise and the poached eggs were delicious. The potatoes on the side were good too. Overall it was a filling breakfast, but didn't quite feel like it was worth $34. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful and there is a nice view that looks o to a terrace. The atmosphere is very nice. Service was fine, but nothing really stood out. Overall, Little Daisy is a nice way to start your day. The only thing I wished was better was the juice, the seating process and that the food was a better value.

H&G Supply has a fantastic atmosphere, great food, and an overall welcoming vibe, but what really…read moremade our visit stand out was the exceptional service from Ava. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. She knew the menu well, offered great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. It's clear that H&G Supply takes pride in both its food and its customer service. Thanks to Ava's outstanding hospitality, our experience was even better than expected. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend both H&G Supply and Ava to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service!

Here is my overview: 1. Adorable location with lots of shops and bars nearby, parking is available but you might drive around a little if it's during the evening 2. The restaurant is casual but still feels upscale enough to be a date spot 3. I ordered the bun less bison burger, broccoli and cauliflower, which were all packed with flavor. I couldn't finish the veggies, I was just so full but so happy! 4. The sunset cocktail passed out to the entire room was something I have never experienced and was delighted to be a part of. (Just a couple sips only, since my pancreas is not alcohol friendly these days..sigh. 5. The staff. Kind, friendly and seem to love the restaurant and what they are providing- passionate Verdict: Fantastic!

Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making the experience feel extra special. The food was fantastic! I had the crispy octopus, and it was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious.

I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

They treated us to a free dessert after a minor garnish change on the duck. Highly recommend for the service alone!

Ask for Kassey if you come here she's the real MVP! I'll definitely be back.

We kicked things off with the Peach Bellinis. They live up to every bit of the reputation--boozy, refreshingly sweet, and perfectly balanced. I paired mine with a classic burger and truffle fries (an easy 8.5/10), while my girlfriend opted for fresh sushi. Already plotting my next trip back to sample the rest of the HH bites!

Overall a good experience. Good ambiance, but the tables were a bit small and close together…read more We had the 7-course dinner with wine pairing. The attentiveness of the waitstaff and timing of the courses was all perfect. However, I noticed vast differences from how courses were described to us vs. how they were described to other tables by us. I also noticed that not all courses were the same from one table to the next. At first, I was confused by some of the wine pairings. However, it mostly all worked out course to course. While the food was mostly good, there were numerous inconsistencies both between the plates on our table and from what I noticed on other tables. This included uneven cookery on some proteins and differing levels of garnish across the same plates.

Excellent experience at Quarter Acre. Our waiter recommended the salmon and assured us that we…read morecouldn't go wrong. He was correct. Arguably best salmon in Dallas. They served some incredible sourdough and butter. There is an open kitchen, but it doesn't feel like the restaurant is watching the kitchen, it feels like the kitchen is keeping a careful eye on the dining room and making sure everything goes well. We ended the evening with gelato across the street (although I'm sure QA has amazing dessert) and are excited to replicate this perfect date night itinerary again.

When you arrive you'll walk into the main entrance of the hotel, turn left, and walk down the hall. Parking can be a bit difficult but I parked at the crescent court and just walked over. You'll check in with the host and then be seated. We sat on the bar on this specific trip so we could watch the Spurs game. For my drink I ordered the Melon-Coly (Haku Vodka, cantaloupe, lemon, cucumber-melon cordial) which was refreshing and well balanced. Also we ordered appetizers including the truffle fries (white truffle oil, truffle Parmesan salt, buttermilk ranch) and the Mediterranean Lamb Lollipops (whipped feta, chimichurri, hummus, and warm pita). Both dishes were excellent and I couldn't stop eating either. If you are looking for an upscale dinner spot in the heart of Dallas I would highly recommend Dragonfly.

We dined at Written by the Seasons in Bishop Arts last night, and unfortunately the experience was…read moredisappointing. Things got off on the wrong foot when our server forgot my cocktail order and an appetizer which was the pork ribs. Minutes after ordering the cocktail, appetizer and a bottle of wine our server came back saying we needed to order every dish up front. At that moment we told them we do like to take our time and share dishes as they come out one by one and he honestly seemed happy to hear that. They then brought the wine but the cocktail was again completely forgotten. One of our other items showed up fist (kimchi pancakes), which I will say were great, but we then asked about the ribs and he confirmed he completely forgot about them. He said he put the ribs in as a rush and they would come out with one other dish. We said this would be fine, but not minutes after the ribs arrived all four other dishes showed up simultaneously. Our table was overcrowded, and it completely took away from the leisurely dining experience we were expecting. To make matters worse, two of the dishes--the baby carrots and the Korean glass noodles, were swimming in sauce, so much so we didn't want to eat them. While this may not be the case we felt rushed. We had received all of our food in less than an hour. The overall service made us feel like the restaurant was trying to turn the table as quickly as possible for the next reservation rather than provide a thoughtful dining experience. For a restaurant at this price point and pedigree, we expected much better pacing, attention to detail, and execution. Unfortunately, this visit fell well short of those expectations.

My wife has been a half-dozen times, but last Saturday night was my first visit and I wondered how…read morethis almost 50 year-old gem had escaped my culinary delight. The cocktail menu is diverse and unique. I took our excellent server's (Kayla) recommendation and had the Bryan St Martini, which is a gin-based martini with a a lemon stuffed olive topped with black caviar. My wife had the Spiced Pear 75, which she loved. Since they are cuisine francaise, our table started with the escargot bourguignon, which has the typical six snails, but instead of butter+garlic+herbs, they were in a cream sauce and then topped with more escargot on top! The complimentary bread (and butter) served when we sat down were perfect to top with escargot and dip into the cream sauce. Our dining friends order the beet carpacio salad and we had the champagne-brie soup. After one spponful, I told Kayla that dish alone is worth another visit. My wife had the duck a l'orange and I had chicken roulade. For dessert, we split a bananas foster souffle, which requires 20 minutes prep time, which Kayla perfectly timed after we ordered when our entrees came. Overall, great food, GREAT service and a truly unique vibe!

We were quickly shown to our seats and immediately brought waters and bread. We each had two cocktails from their booklet menu and they were delicious! You have to order every course at the same time so we were given some time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Escargots Bourguignon and the Shrimp St Martins. The sauce that the shrimp was sitting in was TO DIE FOR. The escargot came in a sauce as well but the shrimp sauce was so good I was dipping the escargot in the shrimp sauce! Then out came the Champagne Brie soup- it was my favorite thing I had. I could've easily licked my bowl clean. For the entree I had the Rack of Lamb and my partner had the Seared Sea Bass. We both honestly weren't impressed by either. They were just good, not great. It probably didn't help that we had waited too long for our entrees. Unfortunately, our entire dining experience lasted 2 hours. I appreciate a nice meal that's not rushed... but the time between courses was honestly ridiculous. I'm not sure if it was just this particular night that the kitchen was slow but then again it was a Wednesday night... I'd hate to see a weekend night.
