Cake (this was okay but it tasted old and like the fridge)
Isaiah S.

I mean what can I say view was nice, our server was amazing, he was cool. But , Our tuna cones were warm (it's raw fish) and tasted of nothing. The Cesar salad was not good/ bad bitter no flavor. They dropped half our oysters on the floor and the were mangled when they got us new ones. A few things I ordered did not come out when they were supposed to, they forgot a few things with our mains and apps. So people at the table had to wait to eat. The mains were actually not hot , came out almost cold, and we waited AGAIN as our staggered desserts came out. Just bad performance, kitchen needs help. Would not go back for the food. Maybe for the view , maybe, which is how I think most people will feel leaving here. Strive for a better guest experience. Don't think the owners care.

Blinding sun

Overall worst experience at a restaurant i've ever had. The smell of sewage in the lobby should set your expectations because it was shit. Food was bland and everything needed more salt. The lobster gratin was overly fishy and either not fresh or overcooked. The mac and cheese was good the asparagus and mashed potatoes both needed more seasoning. We ordered the lamb medium rare but it came out medium well. The steak was boring and the added Chimichurri was nothing more than parsley and oil. The gnocchi we got was 75% mushrooms and 25% gnocchi. The waiter was practically non-existent, we went at dinner time and they sat us where the sun was blinding me the entire time, ruining our experience. We asked two separate waiters to lower the blinds and both said they would, but neither did. When I expressed that the sun blinding me was ruining our experience the waiter asked what he could do to help and i asked him to take the cheapest item, a burger, off the tab and split the checks, he said no problem. We received the check all on one and the burger wasn't removed. Then I asked again, and again he said sure, the next bill was split but he still did not remove it from the bill and he blamed the manager, it seems like nobody is willing to take accountability. Additionally, there is automatic 18% "service fee" added to the bill, I'm still trying to figure out what was "serviced" since they couldn't even lower the blinds. I would have had a better night anywhere else but here. Don't waste your time or your money here.

Being a Vegas local I instantly thought of our restaurant at the Stratosphere when I heard about Crown Block. That being said I needed to come give it a try. I came here for a pre dinner drink + appetizer but I wish this could have been my main stop for the night. There were so many options to choose from on the menu it was hard to decide, but the shrimp is definitely a must! You definitely get the NYC feel as you overlook all of the tall buildings while enjoying great cocktails. This has to be a place to try when visiting Dallas.

Prefect spot to start our Dallas weekend. My husband always wanted to eat here and now he gets to take me! A great date night. Before the elevator ride to the top I was offered a tequila ranch water. We were seated at our table. My chair felt a little low for the table. But still a great set up. My husband had an old fashioned to start. We got wine to go with our mains. For the table they gave us Japanese milk bread. Very good. To start we... the menu is huge! We got the oyster Rockefeller and we both had the delicious lobster bisque. But for the price you pay I wished I got more than two lumps of lobster in my soup. But it was still good. Our mains. Was sushi. We wished there was more to the main than the small portions we got. Good thing we did two appz. But we could have done with some more... So needless to say we had to get dessert. I indulged in the turtle creek peanut butter bar. A little dense and perfectly paired with my light main option. My husband got the caramel basque cheesecake. Wow! Yummy So glad we got to experience the Crown Block together. We could reserve this as a nice date night.

After having such a wonderful experience last time we decided to come back here for my birthday. This experience was nothing like the one before. We were about 10 minutes late for our reservation because of traffic. We tried to call the restaurant 3 times to let them know and there wasn't an answer. When we got there we told them we had been trying to call to let them know about us running behind. She brushed us off and said "oh we were really busy." When we got off the elevator you talk to the next host/hostess for your reservation. Because we were a little late the gentleman let us know that we had 2 options. We could get the table he had booked for us but we would have to be finished in a certain amount of time or they could put us at a different table. We chose to get a different table so we wouldn't feel rushed. Our server was lovely. She was patient with me and my indecision about almost everything. SHE IS THE REASON THERE ARE STILL 2 STARTS. While the food looked good. Almost everything came out wrong. Under cooked or it just tasted nasty to us. I appreciated their effort for trying but this wasn't the best birthday meal.

This has become our kids favorite birthday celebration spot! We went a couple of weeks ago for just a celebration. We were greeted with a ranch water before the elevator ride at the lower lobby. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. The service is always top notch and the food can come out fast (almost too fast at times!). We've had drinks, the tuna cone, the chicken nugget app, the burger, the popcorn shrimp, gnocchi, and mac and cheese. Everything has always been tasty. The spot is $$$$ but you should know that before showing up. The burger was a little on the dry side but all the other food was very tasty. They have an extensive wine collection and the ambiance is outstanding. Make sure you ask for a window table to enjoy the amazing views!

The View was immaculate, the customer service was good. The food was a 5/10 for me. There were 4 of us and our bill was $530. That is including 1 drink and 2 of the Bloody Mary bar. Honestly it was a nice meal but definitely NOT worth the cost. I am not sure I will be back but it was worth it to try it one time.

My family and I visited Crown Block for my father's birthday and left with full hearts and even fuller stomachs. While some might assume a restaurant with such a view is a "gimmick," Crown Block proves exactly why it's featured in the Michelin Guide. We started with the large Seafood Tower, which was well worth the price. It featured a fresh salmon crudo, delicious East Coast oysters, and a top tier of jumbo prawns, lobster tails, and crab claws. For our mains, we shared the Cowboy Ribeye, Porterhouse, Lamb Rack, Branzino, and Green Circle Brick Chicken. While everything was excellent, the Cowboy Ribeye was the standout--seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The ambiance is lovely; it's dimly lit with elegant table lamps, allowing you to fully enjoy the Dallas skyline. This was my second visit to the Crown Block. The first time, was not as positive of an experience for food, price point, ambiance, and views. If I had left a review back then, it would've been 1 star. This second time was so much more noteworthy. Our server (I believe his name was Elijah) made the night even better. He was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty. Overall, my family and I were really happy this second go and will definitely be back!

Came here for my birthday and enjoyed the beautiful view! Hospitality was great, but half of the food came out cold and wasn't very flavorful. It was pretty bland except for the sushi and oysters!

We went here for a Christmas party and let me just say, it was the best decision we made! The food was good.. they had a variety of meats, we really liked the brisket, chicken was okay.. the sides were great! Potato salad, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, corn bread! All of these were so good! Also, since we don't drink alcohol we asked if the bartender could make us a nonalcoholic drink and they agreed! They made us amazing mocktails, both different each time we went for it! They said they just make it then and there, so creative! We really enjoyed that! Alsooo the servers were quick to refill and take the plates away from the table when we were done! Anddd it was SPINNING!! Very slowly though but it was! Overall a very enjoyable experience!

This wonderful space has not disappointed us yet after three years. Once you've experienced the ambience, the level of service and the quality of the food they serve, you'll be hard pressed to find a better place the offers everything that they do. We're enjoying a sunset dinner with a spectacular view and truly scrumptious food served by a man that is truly impressive. Randy is excellent at pairing wine and food. He's a Prince amongst men. The place has become our go to for any special occasion including anniversaries and birthdays because of how we been treated by the staff here. The menu varies seasonally, the Miso Cod is EXCEPTIONAL. They have a sushi chef from a Izakaya in Japan that does it so well. I could heap accolades upon this place endlessly. Just come here... Sorry we didn't post food pics. We were too busy enjoying it!

My husband, mom and I came to celebrate our birthdays in Dallas for the week. We decided to come to Crown Block for the joint celebration dinner and experienced the worst service I have ever experienced. The waitress came off standoffish from the start. The whole time we kept feeling rushed and multiple times during the dinner did the servers attempt to take our plates when we were still working on our food even after stating multiple times we were still working on it. Once we told the waitress one last time we were still working on it, she proceeded to gossip and whisper about us and the exchange we had just had to two different employees right in front of our table. Then my mom ordered a ceasar salad that cost $16 and for two pieces of chicken to be added that was an extra $15. Absurd. And to top it off the waitress had asked if there were any allergies they should be made aware of, I notified her my husband has a chocolate allergy and they brought out nothing but chocolate as a celebratory dessert. Thankfully his allergy isn't severe and he can be around it. That easily could have gone bad. For such a luxurious restaurant they really need to evaluate their culinary service as it was extremely disappointing. We paid our bill and made our way out the restaurant, came across the manager and expressed our disheartening experience, he didn't even seem to care or had interest in hearing us out on why we had a terrible time.

Magical night at Crown Block! We had the private room/floor, which is one floor below the main dining area, but is incredible in Reunion Tower with full bar and equally amazing views. We had a blast dining and watching the sunset together. The appetizers and drinks are probably the best things here. Mains are filling, desserts are creative, but you are really paying for the vibes and views. Absolutely a must visit in dallas at least once!

Do u have to wear a suit and tie?

We went for brunch and it wasn't formal. Nice pants and shirt for men. For dinner, men would probably want to wear nice pants and a collared shirt. I do not believe a coat and tie is required, but if in doubt always err on the side of caution and… Read more

Can you go without making a reservation?

Yes, they do have free seating in the lounge and at the bar, however the place gets a little busy so seating is not guaranteed

Hello, is this a kid friendly restaurant? TIA

Yes! But I would advise to Go earlier in the evening. I went around 5pm with my 16 month old and saw plenty (at least 6 outside of my kid) of well behaved kids there.

Along with coconut shrimp. The shrimp were ginormous. And the sauces were so good. Our fav was the mango marmalade. The best bread I have ever had in my life!!!! You know how sometimes they bring a roll to the table for the table to share? Not here boyeeeee Each person gets their own roll. I don't even know how to explain this heavenly bread. It truly is the best beard I have ever had before. I would come eat here again JUST FOR THE BREAD. The crab cake is out of this world. Huge jumbo clumps. Also comes with a variety of sauces. The wasabi one was our favorite. You must order the crab cake! My husband got the ribeye rare and said it was the best steak he has had, and he eats a ton of steak. I got their off menu item of carne asada tacos. The meat was sooooo tender. They don't use flank steak they use a tenderloin and it just melts. The mushrooms were Devine. Glad I ordered the carne asada. The adult Mac and cheese was good but just good. Brussels sprouts were good (not the best I have had) but I think I was also just so full by this point. The asparagus is huge!!! Oh the best finisher ever- the peanut butter pie!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even a dessert girl and I couldn't stop eating it.

We invited a couple for dinner to celebrate their wedding we weren't able to attend. They are foodies, so we thought to try something different. The bread that looked amazing tasted like cardboard. The Hummus was terrible, and we are pretty snobby in the Mediterranean department. The Cesar Salad was good. Then the food came out. The seabass had to be sent back once, the second time our friend just dealt with it. I had the rack of lamb, which I get often. Awful flavor and strange celery mix underneath. The guys got Cowboy Ribeyes. My husband ate his because he hadn't eaten all day. He said, he couldn't make a better steak. Our friend had ONE BITE and didn't touch it after that. They bagged it up for him, and he left it behind. A $78 steak, not even touched. The mashed potatoes were great actually. Brussel Sprouts were the worst I've ever tasted. I think the poor server saw we weren't enjoying dinner and brought us out a complimentary chocolate tart, said to celebrate their married couple. It too was not good. Most everything was left half eaten or barely touched. I've never felt like I just threw $500 in the trash can, as I did last night. The food looked good (as shown in the pictures below, but don't be fooled) Complete disappointment. I say this as someone who worked for a restaurant group of high end restaurants for many years.

Fancy spot! You wouldn't mind if I review it, would you? Eating out in Dallas can get really…read moreexpensive, really quick. Often times after it's all said & done, you wonder - was that worth it? Thankfully, that is NOT the experience I had at Haywire! I ate here on August 9th, 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. I was with a large party but would love to return for a more intimate experience. On this Saturday, my younger cousin was graduating from Parker University so I was in town for the weekend. At around 1pm, I was one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. Unfortunately the parking is a bit confusing. There was construction being done on the same street when I went but there's a parking garage for customers that's difficult to navigate AND the elevator that connects wasn't operating at the time which was an issue for many (but not me, I got a good spot & walked). My party hadn't all arrived yet so I took a gander. Upon entering the tall doors, the space breathes southwestern elegance: wooden structure, leather seating, separate dining areas with highlighted ranch-style art. The abundance of space gives it an open-concept feel. The lighting fixtures are modern, the space was dim but not too low, with an option to utilize the large windows also. I was quiet impressed at the overall presentation. When my party did arrive, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and a Hibiscus Haze with Vodka. The table shmoozed as we ate some of the appetizers: the Crab Dip & Green Tomatoes, both amazing. The food did take some time but, considering it was 10-12 of us, that's expected. The Hibiscus Haze was splendid: smooth & flavorful, a great concoction. Cobb salads are usually pretty thick but this one was HEARTY. It came in a large bowl stuffed with the all the toppings. The dressing it was tossed with was well balanced but could've used a tad bit more. With some pepper & a little ranch, I was set! I defeated the salad but it also left me stuffed to the gills. Satisfying meal that I would order again! There are tons of restaurants to dine at in Dallas & sometimes you never know which is worth your time. Despite the inconvenience of parking, I'd bet my bottom dollar that this is a good place to eat. Whether you want a fine dining experience, it's a special occasion or just want a good drink with a meal, Haywire has enough to satisfy all interests.

We were seated near the kitchen so we could see all the hustle and bustle. Parking was easy, we found the garage and took note of the parking spot level.

For entrees, I had the chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. It was good and plenty because I had to take some with me. I would come back here and try some other dishes.
