From the moment our group walked in until the time we left, the customer service was top-tier. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made the entire experience enjoyable. I ordered the Dallas Mornings breakfast--bacon, scrambled eggs, wheat toast, breakfast potatoes, a fresh salad, and their house ginger ale. It's a pretty standard breakfast, but everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Being my first visit and with the restaurant located inside a hotel, I wasn't sure what to expect. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing atmosphere where you can catch up with friends while enjoying an excellent brunch, I highly recommend CBD Provisions. It's definitely a 10/10 and has earned a spot on my list of favorite brunch destinations in Dallas. (thejouledallas.com)

We tried out this location on a Friday for lunch when we were running errands in the Knox-Henderson…read morearea. The decor is classic and doesn't have much fanfare which I think fits the French vibe. We sat outside on the patio and even though it was scorching outside, because of the tent-style covering and air conditioning the place was kept cool. The patio is dog friendly as well. When we got there the host was with us immediately and found us a table. I'm thinking they might've also been a manager because they were walking throughout the restaurant checking on everyone even though they weren't too busy. Really liked how diligent they were. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about our server. He was very nice and gave good recommendations when asked, but we barely saw the guy throughout our meal. The host/manager that was there came more than once to check on us and bring us anything we needed, but if he wasn't there I think we wouldn't have had anyone else come up to us besides taking the orders, dropping them off, and bringing us the check (which we had to hunt them down for). The food itself was really good thankfully. The duck was delicious and my partner loved his croque madame! I had a bite of his and immediately got jealous because I had been craving brunch and his dish fit that theme perfectly, unlike mine. I left nothing on my plate whereas he couldn't finish his because it was too much heavy food for him. We also got the truffle deviled eggs as a starter and they had great flavor, though the filling was a little dry for my taste. Nothing wrong with it since it was just a matter of personal preference. I don't know if we'll be back since the service was inconsistent, but at least it was a good meal.

Pro-tip: If you eat somewhere else, make sure to save room for dessert at Rise Souffle!!…read more Oh man. What a special experience. First, you walk in and you're introduced to a small, charming, and warm space that looks straight out of a children's fairytale. Don't forget to grab a little surprise card (child friendly and adult friendly) either before you sit down or on your way out. Cute conversation starters and reflection inspiration! My objective of the night was dessert, so I didn't even bother to look at the savory souffles. While waiting for our server, my eyes were captivated by the twinkling lights around me (in the indoor space) and the sight and sounds of the chefs whisking away the souffles before they went in the oven. I was expecting Ratatouille's Remy to pop out. Anyway, as we gazed through the dessert menu, we thought we were enlightened already, but it only got better -- the specials: Strawberry and Pistachio. I'm regretting only getting the Pistachio because it was just so dang good. Will definitely be back. Austin is missing out. To the owner - Wonderful job bringing a taste of your French childhood to Dallas.

I started with the marshmallow soup, which is really a puffy goat cheese ball on top of carrot tomato soup, can't recommend this enough. My main entrée was the southwest chicken soufflé, and it was the only part of my meal. I was so so about. I would not order it again. But I did eat most of it. The chocolate soufflé was fantastic, I loved every bit of it and pouring the chocolate on top was so satisfying. Verdict: I would go again!

Oh man... what a let down this visit was for us…read more My wife and I have come here at least once a year for the past 3 years, and we've always loved this place. The food has always been great and the experience was something we looked forward to. That's why we chose to celebrate an early Valentine's Day here -- to avoid the crazy rush and the preset menu. But this time? Completely different experience. We got seated right away because of our reservation, which was great. It took a few minutes for the waiter to come by -- no big deal. I ordered an Old Fashioned and honestly... the bartender needs some help. It came out full of crushed ice and tasted watered down. I sent it back, and the second one was basically the same drink with more whiskey thrown in. At that point, I just let it go. Then things just kept going downhill. After about 20 minutes, we realized we hadn't gotten any bread. We asked the waiter and he said he'd check. Another 10 minutes go by and he comes back saying, "Still no bread," and drops off the wrong appetizer -- we had only ordered a salad. He takes it back, and it's another 15 minutes before our actual salad shows up. Still no bread. At one point, we could literally see him arguing with someone in the back about why we didn't get bread yet. Not exactly something you want to watch during a date night. The food, when it finally came out, was delicious. No complaints there. But it took forever. By the time we were eating, it was about 45 minutes until closing... and we had gotten there two hours earlier. Then comes the payment situation. The waiter brings the check back and casually tells me I gave him two credit cards and he "just picked the brighter one." I look down and he had handed me someone else's credit card while mine was still sitting in the book. That's not a small mistake. Overall, it just felt unorganized and sloppy this time. I don't know if they're short staffed or just getting too busy for their own good, but it was disappointing, especially for a place we've genuinely enjoyed in the past. Hoping it was just an off night... but it definitely made us think twice about coming back.

What a wonderful experience at Bazille! This place was such a pleasant surprise. The food was…read moredelicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service truly made the visit memorable. The young man who helped us (I believe his name was Joe or Jesse) was absolutely incredible. He was kind, patient, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell when someone genuinely cares about their guests, and he was truly a gem. He made the whole experience feel special. The food was fantastic. The soups were so flavorful and comforting, and the dishes we tried were fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Bazille is known for its seasonal menu, creative American dishes, fresh salads, handmade pizzas, sandwiches, seafood options, and their signature cocktails. Their rotating specials and seasonal features are always a fun reason to come back and try something new. One of the highlights is being able to enjoy a great meal while taking a break from shopping at Nordstrom. It has a more relaxed, upscale feel without feeling stuffy, making it a perfect spot for lunch, a casual dinner, or catching up with friends. Great food, beautiful setting, and truly exceptional service. A huge thank you to Joe/Jesse for making our visit one to remember. We will definitely be back!

Bazille used to be one of my favorite Nordstrom spots, and while the food is still good -- the fish…read more& chips were tasty -- the portions have gotten noticeably smaller for the price. The Lemon Ricotta cookie is about half the size it used to be, and even the crostinis are smaller than what they served 10-15 years ago. The service has slipped too. It no longer feels polished or attentive, and the restaurant overall just feels tired. Unfortunately, that seems to match the direction of Nordstrom in general. The store itself has declined so much over the years, and the experience just isn't what it used to be. It's disappointing to say this, but I won't be coming back.
