Selected this spot for birthday weekend. Sunday brunch and music. I was not disappointed with the…read moreatmosphere. The music was spot on and the MC was interactive and entertaining as well. The vibe was nice. You must make a reservation! This is what I enjoyed: Side of Lamb chops: 10/10 tender, meaty, nice smoky and sweet flavor, well seasoned. Side of Mac and cheese: 6/10 a bit dry, needs a bit more seasoning, if both of these things were not an issue it would be perfect. Oxtails and jollof rice: 10/10 oxtails were full of flavor and enjoyable. They could have been a bit more tender. Overall the flavor carried it to a perfect 10. The rice is seasoned and a bit smokey and cooked to the perfect doneness. Table bread: 9/10 puff puff style bread. They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Brought out first and provided with every meal. It had a sweet seasoning mix on it. The mix to me was more for after dinner instead of right before the meal. Dusse mimosa: 10/10 nice and stout. I prefer Dusse over Hennessy which is what was on the menu. Jerk chicken: 10/10 flavorful wings. Jerk seasoning was there and not too spicy. Cooked just right and not dry. Collard greens: 6/10 savory flavor. I am a collard greens specialist and I prefer a sweet and hot profile. Although these are just savory they were cooked to the correct tenderness. Candied yams: 10/10 get blend of cinnamon and sweet flavor. Cooked perfectly.

Tried out this restaurant while visiting Dallas!…read more THE BAND! THE BAND! I'd come back just to hear the band the DJ! The entertainment was on point! Our server was great but she was handling many tables! Drinks: Sidecar (5/5) got two of them!! Food: They start you with complimentary beignet style puffs..eh these are alright...very greasy. We split the Oxtail spring rolls (3.5/5), collard green egg rolls (4/5), Catfish & Grits (just a tad salty but good... 4.5/5), Oxtail & Grits (no real Jamaican flavor 2.5/5), Mac & Cheese (literally taste like noodles and cardboard box 0/5), Collard Greens (very salty and interesting flavor (3/5), Yams (4/5) Hostess: Seemed like she had an attitude and not personable AT ALL. I also watched her rub her bare feet at the host stand. Plenty of parking!

Stopped by due to the pull of, "Is it a club or is it a restaurant?"…read more Well, it's both! We stopped by for lunch and it was empty. The decor has a nightclub look. The complimentary chips and salsa weren't much. The chips were stale; the salsa wasn't too bad, but the creamy green one was the best. As for the guacamole and beef, this was good! Very happy with the freshness of the guac and the seasoning on the steak. So, with that being said, if you're okay with sitting in an empty club, then check out the menu! The bartender was very sweet snd attentive.

We came to Stratos today to see how things have changed. We haven't been here in a while…read more There were alot of changes that were just right for this place. The feeling was a feel good place. There is a lot of late night entertainment throughout the week. Dancing, belly dancing, DJ......you name it, they have it after 8pm. We came too early today at 5pm. But we are glad we did. Service was great and the food was fantastic! Huge portions and flavor. We will be back after 8 pm to partake in the fun! If you are close, you should too! See the pics of the food. YUMMY Price for 2 meals was $67.20 + $20 tip = $87.20 Totally worth it.

Ambiance: Parking may pose some difficulty due to the presence of multiple businesses nearby. Upon entering, I was welcomed by the hostess; however, the loud music from the DJ made it challenging to communicate effectively. The entry doors remained open, which raised concerns about potential insects affecting the dining experience. Service: The staff provided a warm welcome, and our server, China, demonstrated excellent hospitality and attentiveness, readily answering all questions. Communication was somewhat impeded by the volume of the music. Additionally, I noticed that silverware and napkins were not offered prior to the meal being served. Food: I ordered wings as an appetizer and needed to request additional napkins, as well as plates suitable for sharing for which I thought this would be a standard process without asking. The margarita was served in a plastic cup rather than glassware, which was unexpected. My pasta entrée was flavorful, and the salmon shrimp Oscar was equally enjoyable. It was concerning that, although my reservation was at 8 p.m., the restaurant had already run out of sautéed cabbage, an item on the menu. I would appreciate advance notification from staff regarding unavailable dishes. Overall, the quality of food and beverages was commendable. Overall: While the restaurant offers excellent cuisine, the loud music significantly limits opportunities for conversation during dinner. I recommend this establishment to those seeking good food, but not to those looking for a quiet dining environment. There are both advantages and challenges associated with this venue, and I hope the team continued success in the future.

Second time at this place and the wait's are always OUTRAGEOUS …read more Overpriced, can see why it was a lot emptier this time around.

They also have a catfish special on Tuesday that is hot and delicious and the portion is large enough for you to eat the leftovers for lunch like I did. The servers are always nice and attentive to your needs. Only thing I don't care for is that they force you to buy bottled water. No tap water like most restaurants. And the bottled water is $5.

My AI recommended this place while in the DFW area. My experience was great! Not what I expected…read morebut I think I literally got the best positive experience not knowing the ropes or what to expect. I made a reservation but it took me to open table that required a credit card. Since I was alone I didn't care and wanted to make sure I had a bar seat. Well. When I got to the door (I took an Uber).. I saw there were no bar seats. Not that they were full.. I'm guessing they must have removed them. I thought.. UHOH.. I guess I need to get a Uber back to my hotel. The door man asked if I was on someone's list. I replied with "no, but I made a reservation". He asked if I didn't mind sitting with another person who has a single seat. I decided to go with it and accept. Perhaps there was an event. Not sure.. The person who I ended up sitting with had a warm personality and all the staff who I spoke with from the bartender (may have been an asian female) was informative and kind, b I uncer by one door was funny and had a Bernie Mac vibe, Host at the front door (Rufus) was beyond professional and accommodating. He even checked to make sure my open table was updated as a check-in so I didn't have additional charges. Even the DJ had a nice mix of old & new school. I was there around 7 and ordered food. The waitress got my order wrong. Fried instead of Grilled.. bummer .. but she was also a pleasure so I just went with it. They were also short staffed. From my understanding 2 people were very late for their shift. I gave her grace. I was pleased the greens had no sugar in them. I audio ordered the same dish to go for a person who's going through medical issues and they made sure I got the grief blackened catfish this time which was great. She enjoyed age I tasted it. The chef mentioned that most like the shrimp or fish tacos. Yes, I spoke to him too!!! I even spoke the the gentleman outside selling cigars and bought two. I noticed it may have been too early for the expected crowd and didn't see anyone walk up to his outside location. I learned so much about the restaurant and plan on attending again for live music. As I was leaving, I noticed a change in the appearance of the crowd. It appears it's suited for all ages depending on the event and time of day. Very clean space. I didn't make it to the ladies room to see the layout.

Arrived 10 mins before the event, parked in an unmarked open space and then was told 10 I parked, since they didn't start on time, that I needed to move my vehicle due to it being valet and them charging $40!!! Uh hell no. The gravel lot was terrible. Since they make you pay for everything, should look into a paved parking lot. The event was advertised starting at 11 and getting in was so disorganized. I just expected it to be more organized. They should've done a practice run the night before and had all sections and signs visible. Didn't realize that every single spot in the place was reserved. EVERYTHING! Even sitting outside at the single bar stool like area. I will say it's a big space but charging for the plastic bar stools is wild. The drinks were average and not worth the price. Jerk chicken quesadillas 5/10: food was cold and the fries were undercooked and had no salt. The flavor of the chicken was decent. They should cooker extra jerk sauce- but they might charge $3 for it so never mind. Blue current 6/10: nothing special...too much ice and could've used more alcohol. It was pretty to look at

So, this was my first time here; I came for a birthday party. This location used to be Black Agave,…read morebut it closed, and now it's this place. Dinner was at 6:30, and when I arrived, it was pretty dead. I sat at the bar to wait for a frozen margarita, which was not good at all; I learned that it was made from powder, which is not ideal. The bartender then made me a margarita on the rocks, which was 100% better and tasted great since it was made from scratch. I also ordered the Violeta, made with Empress Gin; it was a nice cocktail. Service was pretty good. There were some things that came out a little slow, but the staff was very attentive. I also tried the Barbacoa. It was interesting how it was prepared and presented. I started eating it for a bit, and when I mixed the sauce with the meat, it became very tasty and delicious. Overall, my experience was fun. It was great, and I found out it was a soft opening, so there were a few hiccups, which I give them grace for. That makes me want to go back and try their full menu and service once they're fully open, and I'm looking forward to their grand opening. Overall, it's a great place. They said they're eventually going to start having happy hours, and I look forward to that. I can't wait to try them.

This time I came for dinner and was amazed again at the food. We came to celebrate a birthday and I opted for the restaurant week menu. I started with the truffle lemon pepper wings which were delicious and savory. My friends had the spinach dip and the shrimp. All really good. For my entree I ordered the truffled lasagna which was tender and saucy. I didn't get much of the truffle flavor but it was delicious nonetheless and the portion was big enough for leftovers. I ended with the butter cake which was one of the best things I've ever tasted! Our server was a nice young lady that was patient and knowledge and about the menu. She was attentive and checked on us frequently. I like Winsome Prime because there is always some good 90s R&B playing. The dining room was dimly lit and perfect for date night. I can't wait to get back.

Honestly not sure I'd visit again…read more The ambiance was great, the food was good, and I was excited for the live music. However, the service was not what I'd expect from a restaurant that automatically places a 20% gratuity on all checks. My partner and I were seated promptly, but forgotten about shortly thereafter. Our waitress briefly greeted us, gave us water, and offered time to look over the menu. We waited approximately 30 minutes before our waitress came back to take or drink order. She did apologize and admitted to forgetting about our table, but that set the tone for the rest of the night. My partner and I sat next to the kitchen and the individual who brought our food out (not our waitress) just tossed the plates on to the table and turned away headed back into the kitchen. The interaction happened so quickly, not a single word was spoken, she didn't ask if we needed anything additional, and that was my final straw. The drinks are tasty, but expensive. The sidecar drink was $26 compared to the chicken royale entree at $34. Although the drink was tasty, $26 for a drink is a bit excessive. Overall, I can't say it was worth the $200 bill.
