Looking for something new to try in north Dallas we stumbled upon Platia Greek Kouzina in Frisco…read morejust across for the Stonebriar mall. Given it was 12:30pm we were happy to see this place was quite full but still had a table for the 2 of us inside. There is a terrace which might be an option for our next visit. Yea you read that right, we will definitely be back. For lunch we ordered the octopus appetizer which was nice a tender, perfectly grilled and simply served with the most perfect vinaigrette. Nothing more than a little squeeze of lemon over it and you could have brought me a dozen more. But we had to save room for our mains. I chose the gyros salad and my wife the baked haddock with Greek potatoes and string beans. Both dishes were perfect. Not too fancy and just what the doctor ordered. Overheard several tables around us that they were repeat customers so we must have stumbled on to something good. So if you are thinking Greek, check this place out. You won't be disappointed

We enjoyed Platia tonight! I haven't had much Greek food, so it was a fun experience trying…read moresomething different. I ordered the Pastitsio with potatoes and gigantes. The main dish just wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't because it wasn't well made, it was more of a texture preference for me. The potatoes were a little overcooked for my liking, although a friend at our table said his were great. I did, however, love the gigantes! Our table also shared the Trio of Dips (tirokafteri, hummus, and skordalia), the moussaka, the Brazilian steak, and the Aegean stuffed pepper. The tirokafteri and hummus were both delicious. The skordalia wasn't for me, but that's simply because it's essentially a chilled potato dip, not a reflection of the restaurant. The Brazilian steak was fantastic, great flavor and cooked perfectly. The stuffed pepper and moussaka also got a thumbs-up from our group. I believe our server's name was Uli, and he was good. He took the time to explain several dishes. Greek food probably isn't at the top of my personal favorites list, but this one was ok.

We had a fantastic meal at Mio Gusto! Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and full of flavor…read more We ordered the Chicken Parmesan with fettuccine, the Chicken Pesto Tortellini, and the Vodka Penne, and every dish was excellent. The Chicken Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, topped with freshly grated Parmesan, which was such a nice touch. The warm, freshly baked bread was amazing, especially dipped in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We also asked for butter, and it was fresh and paired perfectly with the bread. From the quality of the food to the attention to detail, everything exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Mio Gusto to anyone looking for delicious Italian food in Frisco!

On our way to our hotel from the airport, we found this family owned restaurant. It was spacious…read moreand bright. Friendly service. We ordered 2 glasses of wine ($10 for a Sangiovese and $10 for a Chianti), ziti bolognese, and shrimp fra diavolo. We were given complimentary bread with oil and balsamic vinegar (nice touch but I thought the rolls were too doughy). Our meals were good, but not great. Since we've been to Italy, we have a hard time when it's not fresh homemade pasta. More random thoughts about our dining experience: * The restaurant attempts to look high end, but it's not. * It is a good family restaurant that plays only Italian classics for music. * They serve Lavassa coffee. * Bathrooms are clean and look like they belong in an Olive Garden We were the last customers in the restaurant. They didn't rush us out. We drank our wine (ordered another round) and watched the NHL playoffs on the TVs at the bar (they kindly changed the channel for us). Benny, the owner, welcomed his family into the restaurant. It looked like it was his wife and his 2 daughters. They sat at a back table as the employees cleaned and organized the restaurant. I wish the food was better because the service was stellar.

Greennova is one of those places you randomly try and then keep thinking about afterward…read more I drink coffee pretty much every day, so I didn't expect tea to hit the same, but their drinks genuinely feel different. They use a dual-phase pull/extraction process on the tea leaves, and the caffeine feels smoother and more sustained without the normal coffee crash. The flavors are really good too. Not overly sweet, and the ingredients seem high quality. I also noticed they use ceremonial grade matcha, which I appreciated. Honestly surprised this place isn't more hyped up. Feels like a hidden spot that's growing mostly through word of mouth.

I love the concept of this spot with how it's all tea based drinks. The spot has limited seating…read morebut it's cute. Got a strawberry matcha and the matcha quality itself was superior. Unfortunately, I barely had any strawberry in mine for the price I was paying :/

Detour Doughnuts is one of those places that reminds you why supporting local businesses is so…read morerewarding. From the moment I walked in, the shop felt warm and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly. I tried the strawberry matcha doughnut, and it was incredible. The dough was light, fluffy, soft, and buttery--the kind of texture that keeps you thinking about it long after you've finished. I also brought home the fig & mascarpone, crème brûlée, maple éclair, Dubai chocolate, and mango lassi doughnuts, and every single one was fresh, creative, and packed with flavor. It's clear they put a lot of thought into each seasonal and specialty creation. I also had a refreshing matcha lemonade that paired perfectly with the doughnuts. Between the quality of the pastries, the welcoming atmosphere, and the excellent customer service, this is a spot I'd happily recommend. If you're ever in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by--I know I'll be back for more.

Amazing donut shop! The wonderful selection of fresh donuts and coffees and lemonades make this…read moreshop a wonderful detour and pit stop for a little pick me up. So many different and unique options on donuts with a constant cycle of new flavors and combinations. The staff is incredibly friendly and the space has a cozy area for seating. Donut was very fresh and flavorful. I have never tried matcha lemonade before and was nervous if I would like it but definitely was very refreshing and not too sweet. Will definitely come here to try the other options!

Clean, friendly and gorgeous aesthetic as always…read more The honey sweet was a great reminder of a similar one in Brazil The strawberry matcha was great (don't mix it, too bitter of you do) Pistachio cake was nice, I wanted to try the cake tho
