Bar Sardine was delicious!! We went for brunch, and it's a cute spot in Snider Plaza with tons of parking available. The restaurant is pretty intimate and tables are close together, with additional seating outside. The service is super friendly and finds a great balance between checking on the table and letting the customers take their time to chat and look over the menu. I just wish our server mentioned there were additional drink menu options written over the bar, because I preferred those choices to what was on the menu! On the topic of cocktails, I tried the the nuit en rose spritz, the limoncello spritz as well as the pina colada spritz. They were all delicious, freshening and while the cocktails are definitely pricey, I thought there was enough alcohol in the drinks to make them worth it. For food, we ordered the honey truffle brie baguette, the frites, and the quiche of the day which happened to be goat cheese and spinach. WOW!! The baguette transported me to heaven, so good!! The truffle is strong though, so only order if you like that flavoring! Frites were crispy and easy to grab by the handful, definitely worth ordering and splitting with the whole table. The quiche was fresh and bouncy, and I was glad it was on offering since the regular quiche includes meat that can't be substituted out! Will definitely come back to this hidden gem!! read more

I enjoyed watching the bartenders throw cups around and put on a show for the guests, and the strawberry mocktail was very good. We sat outside for dinner service, and had a hard time getting attention from our waitress. We also ordered the aioli dip set and they forgot about it but the fires were cold by the time we saw our waitress again. The pasta of the day was very good. The vibe of the place was beautiful, but it was pretty noisy inside. read more

What I had was a salad and an appetizer of crispy artichokes on a corn purée. The salad was good and fresh, but nothing special (wild salad leaves, walnuts, and a little bit of pickled beets) and was priced at $21. The appetizer dish of the crispy artichokes I thought was OK but not outstanding and for 20 something dollars it was not worth it. Coupled with an iced tea this salad and appetizer cost $50. It's a cute little place and the service was very nice, but I would not go back there. It is not worth the money that they charge. read more

Super intimate spot (no wonder it took forever to get a reservation lol) that transports you right to Paris. They offer plenty of martinis and the honey truffle baguette is definitely a standout. I honestly expected the steak frites to be a little better than it was, but it was still a really solid meal. If you're a matchbook collector, they have them at the host stand! read more

We were so excited to be able to try this spot! Our reservation was at 4:30pm on a Sunday. We booked the reservation a week before and it's either 4:30 or after 8pm. Here's my very long review: Food: My boyfriend found the spot because... he saw a review that their burger is awesome here. I know, I know... a French spot and we're here to try their burger LOL. But to be honest though, their burger is EXCELLENT! We asked for medium rare burger steak and it came out so perfect and so seasoned! I know it's a little unconventional to order a cheeseburger in a French spot, but you really have to! For appetizer, we had the honey truffle baguette. It was very well made and the saltiness of the truffle mixed with the honey and well baked baguette. To me, 1 is more than enough. The second one indeed felt like a lot of flavors already. Moving on to the next course, the cheeseburger. I already mentioned how amazing the burger is at the beginning of the review. Next, we had the linguine of the day - and by the way I have to mention, it was recommended by an old couple who just finished their meal, we knew we had to try it. I would like to trust my own judgement and I believe the clam was fresh because I tasted the freshness and the taste of a clam. Overall, it was such a treat! Last but not least, the profiteroles. We saw the old couple that I mentioned earlier ordered this dessert. I heard there's vanilla ice cream and my boyfriend love chocolate. We both knew we had to order that. It was AH-MAZING!!! We wish we can have more. The amount of dark chocolate sauce they poured was a lot and this probably THE best chocolate sauce we ever had (we are both dark chocolate people). Ambiance: The restaurant is very small in size which makes the whole experience so intimate. And once the sun started to set, they close all the curtains and it made our date more romantic. I also saw a few pairs of couples coming on a date. Service: We love our server - I think her name's Sarah?. She checked in with us once a while and she understood the menu very well and she was able to explain the dishes that were served to us. We have a great time overall and we are definitely coming back! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while. I came in with my friend for lunch, and we were seated right away at our reserved table. This cute little restaurant is very tiny, so making a reservation is a must. We tried the Gin du Moulin as our cocktail of choice, and it was not only pretty but very tasty. I only wish it was bigger, the cup did seem small for a $20 drink, but didn't really mind it too much. For our meal we had the famous cheeseburger and shared a side of truffle fries. Excuse me!!! Why was this the best burger I had ever had in my life? So juicy and flavorful, I absolutely loved it. The fries were very good as well and a generous portion. The service was fantastic, our server was friendly and attentive the whole time. I would 100% come back. read more

I wanted to love Bar Sardine so bad, but honestly....I was a bit underwhelmed! I've had Bar Sardine in my must visit list for a while. It looks so quaint, has a lot of hype, and I love a good French bistro. So....I had some spare time and made a lunch reservation for one a few days prior. I was looking forward to it! On arrival, I love the cozy French bistro vibes and my server was very nice and welcoming. I started with a delicious house-made strawberry lemonade and French onion soup. The soup was the first let down. The broth was very bland and didn't have the rich caramelized onion flavor that makes French onion soup so delicious. This was disheartening being that Bar Sardine is a chef-led French bistro and not just a random cafe that happens to have French onion soup on the menu. Next, I had the Croque Americane and Frites Diane. Although my server was super sweet, timing for the soup and entree wasn't great, so the sandwich and fries came out just a couple minutes after the soup. It ultimately worked out since I didn't enjoy the soup and only had 2-3 bites. The presentation of the dishes was wonderful, everything looked delicious, but the fries and sandwich were both lukewarm/room temp at best. Not sure how that happened, but it made for not a great meal. The Fries Diane sounded great, but there wasn't much gravy on them. The gravy was the best part, but just barely there as you can see in the pic. The sandwich was pretty good, but again lukewarm at best. Which makes a grilled cheese not very enjoyable. My issues seem like things that can be rectified easily....except for the lackluster French onion soup. So, I would possibly give Bar Sardine another chance, if I happen to be in the area, but I can't see myself intentionally making a beeline for Bar Sardine again like I did for this first visit. read more

Chic French brasserie vibes with standout drinks and bites! Finally snagged a reservation at Bar Sardine--and it was worth the wait! The Parisian ambiance makes it perfect for date night, and the service was warm and attentive. I started with the Fluffy Margarita--refreshing and strong. For apps, we shared the Truffle Fries with aioli (crispy and addictive) and the Honey Truffle Brie Baguette--soft, sweet, and full of truffle flavor! For mains, we split the Brasserie Salade (fresh with a spicy kick) and Bucatini Au Citron--light, lemony, and delicious. TL;DR: Dreamy Parisian vibes, great cocktails, and delicious bites. A must for date night or a stylish night out! read more

My girlfriend was living about this place and I finally tried it with her and oh my gosh, it was so good. I love the atmosphere. It's a small restaurant and the service was great.

I absolutely love this place. The burger is the best burger in Dallas. It's so unique and different.

Bar Sardine is a great addition to the area! It's a smaller restaurant so it's difficult to secure a reservation as tables are limited. The ambiance is cozy, intimate and dim lit. Perfect for a date night or girls dinner! We had reservations but still had a wait to be seated, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Love the wine and cocktail list. We ordered: -honey truffle brie baguette: so good! -wild yellowtail crudo: my fave! -l'escargot: excellent. -lobster ravioli: so good, wish the portion was bigger! -in house made chocolate mousse: tastes better than it looks! I will def be back soon. read more

I have to say my wife loved this place and constantly kept saying how she felt like she was in Paris. Very small dining area, but great service and love the French ambience. Enjoy the wine by the glass. Started with oysters. Pretty good but not great and expensive at $4.50 apiece (a dozen is more than several entrées); and no cocktail sauce with horseradish. Table bread is available but at eight dollars for four slices. Steak Frites was very good. French fries are exceptional. Chicken entrée was very good as well. Side of green beans was easily shareable for four and delicious. In general, small portions and pretty expensive. Tried the profiteroles for dessert and they were OK. read more

Such an intimate, romantic ambiance. NO Complaints. Got the homemade bread and oysters for apps, both amazing. I had the steak Diane for entree and it was so delicious.

I tried a pear cocktail and a couple other ones that were delish! read more

One of the best burgers and truffle fries I've ever had!! There was so much flavor to both, I was honestly a little shocked at how good it was. If I could only have one burger for the rest of my life it's definitely be from here!! The drink was great too. Not too strong and still had a good flavor to it. The service was great as well. Our waitress was so kind and patient with us, and even recommended the drink!! The only thing I wish we knew was that the dips for the fries cost extra , we just assumed it was already included. read more

Loveee this place. Such a warm and cozy vibe. Hard to get a reservation, but I've had dinner and sat at the bar here before and both times have been blown away by the service and food / drinks. Their espresso was nice & creamy ... YUM. And then we got the honey Brie bread, truffle fries, steak frites, burger and our waiter gave us free chocolate mousse! Honestly the honey Brie bread, burger and the mousse were the standouts. GET THE HONEY BRIE BREAD. Overall definitely a little pricey, but the atmosphere makes it worth it to me. Plus our reservation was a little later (7:45) and so there was absolutely zero rush or pressure to leave despite it being a small place w limited tables. Our server encouraged us to take our time, relax, yap and stay as long as we liked. read more

While the food was very good, the service was not great. Being Saturday night, I can understand why our waitress was in a rush to close her tables and leave but rushing through service, not mentioning if there were or were not any specials, not telling us before we make our selection what items had sold out, forgetting items ordered . Doesn't make for good service. The atmosphere is very charming with delicious cocktails, but I'm in no rush to go back read more

This is our small escape to Paris. The ambiance reminds us of one of the cafes we would visit. The menu is just right -- simple and classic. And the service is enough, but not too much. Perfect. read more

After finally getting a reservation at bar sardine, we were so excited to go. Although expensive, it did not disappoint. We got the dirty martini and aperol spritz 2.0 which were both extremely well-made. I'm not normally a big aperol fan but really enjoyed the drink. We additionally got the regular fries with the aioli dip trio. The fries were extremely well made, and I enjoyed the dips. The places on the smaller side but feels intimate and we really enjoyed the setting- there is a lot attention to detail in their designs. We hope to come back and try more drinks and a full dinner. read more

This is a gem in Snyder Plaza. The inside makes you feel like you are stepping into a Paris cafe; but you can't beat sitting outside with a wine and meal enjoying the bustle of the plaza. Food is delicious. Our favorites are the cheeseburger, lobster ravioli, and at brunch the French toast, Brie and truffle baguette and quiche. The mousse is legendary but enough for a table. read more

We had a fantastic dining experience at Bar Sardine tonight! The weather was perfect for sitting outside and they had French songs playing making you feel like you are on the streets of Paris. Our server was outstanding--attentive, funny, and truly made the experience even better (I wish I could remember her name!). The food was just as impressive as the service. We started with the truffle honey brie baguette and the truffle frites, which came with three different aioli dipping sauces. The fries were perfectly crispy, the sauces were a fun addition, and the baguette was absolutely delicious. For our main course, we shared the lobster ravioli, and it was nothing short of exquisite. Every bite was rich and flavorful. As much as we wanted to try dessert, we were too full--so that just means we'll have to come back! Bar Sardine is such a cute little spot. It's small, which adds to its charm, though part of me hopes it doesn't get too popular so we can keep coming back without a long wait! read more

I took my wife here for our third wedding anniversary, and afterwards we recorded a conversation we had discussing Bar Sardine. The transcript is as follows: Me: So, we went to Bar Sardine for our [wedding] anniversary. What did you think of it? Wife: I thought it was very cute and looked a lot like Paris, if you're really in there. Very cozy. Lots of candles. Very dim-lit. And the wine was good. And I had caviar, so very French. Me: A "bump" of caviar! Wife: Yes, they do call it a bump. Hmm... (Laughs) Mhm mhm, that's all I'll say about that. And the cocktails were good. I think my entrée [Mussels Au Pistou] was fun but could've been a starter. It was kind of salty, so it was a lot for one person. They were mussels with pesto. Me: What did you think of the desert [Profiteroles]? Wife: (Chef's kiss) Very good! Me: Overall, five stars? Wife: Five stars! read more

Very cute and intimate dining. The reservations open 30 days in advance on OpenTable, so I recommend booking in advance- I booked this reservation 3 weeks in advance. There are only about 10 tables inside and about 4 outside. They do have the bar open but there's only about 6 stools available. This is located in Snider Plaza where parking can be very hard, but you do have the option to go all the way down to the parking garage by Ramble Room and park there and they will validate your parking. No valet available. We started off with the Truffle Frites and aïoli Dip Trio, these made a good pairing and they both were very flavorful. I got the Fluffy Pinnapple Margarita, in my opinion it was a little too much fluff and a little bitter, but it was fine. For my main course, I got the Lobster Ravioli which came with about 5 raviolis and a good little amount of Lobster. It was seasoned very well and tasted fresh (as fresh as you can get in Dallas Lolol) and my friend got the Tuna TarTar (small version) and she loved it ! Overall great experience, I would go again, just hard planning a month in advance lol read more

Adorable and intimate bar in Snider Plaza, the ambiance in here is on point. I had the fluffy margarita, which was unique and refreshing. It's a small space so I wouldn't commit to being a walk in for dinner, we walked in for drinks around 10pm on a Saturday and were able to be accommodated. After reading other reviews, I feel compelled to mention that the server who greeted us initially when we walked in was pretty standoffish, she immediately let us know that the kitchen was closed and we would not be served dinner. After iterating multiple times that we were not there for dinner (we just had dinner next door at Jack and Harry's), we let her know we were just interested in drinks. We started to worry that the place was closing imminently and asked her what time they shut down. Not until 2am she tells us. Reluctantly she eventually tells us we are able to get a seat at the bar if we could find one, luckily, our party of four was able to grab some seats. Not sure why she didn't offer to seat us at any of the many open tables they had that remained empty during our visit, overall we felt a little unwelcome. Besides that, service at the bar was friendly. read more

This is, without question, one of Dallas's true culinary treasures. If you love real French cuisine, this place is on another level. I've eaten in some of the best restaurants around the world, and Chef Elliot is the real deal -- among the very best there is. The food is soulful, precise, and deeply authentic. The restaurant itself feels like an exclusive French boutique -- cozy, intimate, refined, and personal. You immediately feel like you're somewhere special. I thought I knew Dover sole until I ate it here. Chef Elliot's Dover sole is life-changing, especially with the beurre blanc. There is no one in Texas who comes close to his level of French preparation -- you can truly taste the technique. The burger is also outstanding and completely different from what you'd expect in Dallas. I've personally ordered the burger 20+ times and the Dover sole 20+ times. The pomme purée is hands-down the best I've ever had, anywhere. The bar is exceptional -- Daryl delivers pure excellence with thoughtful, beautifully balanced cocktails. And Asma, the graceful and truly French second-in-command, makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. You're treated like the most important guest in Texas. Do not miss: the bread service, French fries, the burger, and the Dover sole with pomme purée. Yes, you'll break the budget -- but Chef Elliot and his team are absolutely worth it. read more

Very disappointing. Went for lunch and ordered the pasta salad which the menu claimed had artichokes, mixed veggies and burrata. Sadly the artichokes were no where to be found, the burrata was just mini mozzarella balls and the mixed veggies was tomatoes, lettuce and olives.

We had to cancel a recent reservation because a family member came down with an illness. We booked the reservation online and used a credit card to secure the reservation. When we cancelled via the online application it instructed us to call the restaurant due to the short notice. The only published number for the restaurant is not answered, only a message referring us back to the online application. Now we don't know if they will charge us for the short notice or not.
