Different than both of my favorites at home, these hold their own against both. I came in for a solo Sunday brunch on the patio, the spot was buzzin'!

Service was great, I'll definitely be back to have these again. If these aren't the best pancakes in North Texas, please point me towards the ones that are.

Our server was very attentive and answered all of our questions. We started with the Baked Brie, Mezze Platter, and the Mexican Seafood Cocktail. All of the items were well prepared and very tasty! The Focaccia that comes with the Brie could be a great item by itself and the Hummus on the Mezze platter was super tasty. We also had the Braised Short Rib which was very well prepared with a great sauce. The Pork Chop was one of the best I had with a fantastic seasoning. The Greens that come with it should be on the menu all on their own, they are that good! Encina is a great option for lunch or dinner! You definitely need to stop reading and get in here!

I received the third degree from at least 3 servers making sure i was going to fill the table. I assured them i was. You have to get here early bc otherwise you can't get a place to sit. I ordered a lemonade and mac and cheese. Mac and cheese took like 30 min and was $10 for a small bowl. Better than last time i was here but not worth the wait. It took so long and my friend who arrived after me got her potato skins i was like maybe they forgot about me. When i was finally able to flag down a server i was told the kitchen was backed up but that they could check on it for me. I had also asked for water with no cucumber which finally came an hour later when i asked again. The servers seemed to be avoiding us and when you could get someone to stop they were disinterested and acted like i was inconveniencing them. I had my hand up for several minutes bc i had no idea how to get my servers attention for a box, my check and my water. The food here is overpriced and the service is terrible. The patio was freezing and loud. 10/10 do not recommend.

You can really tell there's creativity and thought put into every plate--it's not just good food, it's a full experience. Their menu occasionally changes, however you cannot go wrong with any dish. The ambience was wonderful, with a relaxed, inviting vibe and soft background music that enhanced the dining experience without ever being too loud. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely love to come back and try more, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and flavorful. Here's a list of the items we tried (and loved!), which was plenty of food for a group of four (Pictures are labeled for reference): - Nashville Hot Oysters - Tuna Tartare -Mussels -Grilled Leeks -Ricotta Cavatelli -Grilled Olives -Cornbread Brioche -Ribeye -Smoked Trout -Chocolate Cake -Lavender Pannacotta

My friend had the four-vegetable choice and she said they were good - as she slathered butter onto the homemade cornbread and rolls. DH and his friend had chicken-fried chicken and chicken-fried steak and my husband said it was one of the best chicken-fried steaks he'd had in a long time. Service was great and attentive and we enjoyed the whole dinner. It's an older cafe (the first Norma's, I believe). We'll be back for the good homemade food. A couple behind us bought two whole pies and they looked great, but we were way too full to order any for ourselves.

Good music, the dj was entertaining, engaging with the audience, curating dance competitions, etc. It was fun, so for that... bonus stars. But when we get to the details of the establishment, that's where the fun ends. OVER-priced, watered-down drinks - and I won't even mention how they're $25, for a cup of sour mix essentially. So if "vibes" alone is what you're looking for, go for it!

I'll be honest, I don't remember exactly what I ordered (lol), but I do remember enjoying the food and the overall vibe, which says a lot. The ambiance is one of my favorite parts--this area is lively, walkable, and full of shops and restaurants all along the same street, making it perfect for a night out or a casual stroll. It's definitely a place I'd bring friends who are visiting from out of state. Great atmosphere, solid food, and a fun neighborhood to explore. I'd absolutely come back again.

They were both attentive to my needs and provided top-notch service. Food: I had a juice shot (non-alcoholic), diet soda and the duck wings which were very flavorful, better than I thought it would be. I couldn't eat too much because I wasn't that hungry so that's all I had there. My favorite part of this restaurant was the decor! Ambiance! It was so beautiful. I've been to Morroco and Casablanca, in particular, and this looked like a republica of the original. It was a Friday night, so the vibes were there. Great Afrobeats music, handsome men everywhere. It became more crowded as the night continued, and it became a all out party/lounge/club vibes. I didn't stay for the turn-up because I was getting tired and had to get up early the next day. 10/10 one hundred percent would recommend and return. It was a super pretty place. A MUST GO!!!
