The waiter, Kenneth, was very personable and made great recommendations. He was on top of it all too. You know how some places the wirier doesn't have enough time for you - or they over serve you.

You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.

Room One Eleven is a bar behind a coke fridge door... and the concept of a speakeasy doesn't excuse poor service. Simply having a Coca-Cola door doesn't make you a speakeasy. They don't understand they're in the hospitality business.The night ended with a staff member Erick COKED-OUT and became confrontational and unprofessional. It's clear management, specifically Felipe, needs to focus more on team accountability and less on the aesthetic. There's no point in returning ever. I feel bad for the bartenders, wasted potential. Erick and Felipe are like two 15 year old boys waiting to pick a fight. Insecure and emotional immaturity. Walking with a chip on your shoulder in the hospitality world is just asking for problems. Good luck to any person trying to have a good time, this place isn't it.

Walk in via J Theodore, the ohone booth is to the left. It's a cool novelty calling with a book name to enter via the book shelf. Once inside the speak easy area there were two seating options. The Library which is set away from the open lounge area and quieter or the lounge area with the bar. They would not let us pick our spot despite seating being available. We opted for the lounge area as the seat offered to us there was better to our preference. The tables are packed quiet tightly which i dont like personally but i get it. That tidbit aside it is definitely a cool environment. Service was really nice and the food we ordered was great. I presume it's the same menu as J Theodore so I'm going to have to try that now for a more restaurant style meal. This is a cool place to hang out and bring friends imo. Since we don't really drink we'll probably end up at the restaurant next time as it's not easy to eat on tiny tables. It's a bar/lounge after all.

About: Red Phone Booth, founded in Atlanta in 2020 by…read moreStephen de Haan in partnership with actor and whiskey and cigar enthusiast Michael Cudlitz , opened its first Texas location in The Colony, Dallas, in 2023, celebrating three years since its inception. The venue is designed to resemble a Prohibition-era speakeasy, with an entrance accessible through a rotary phone inside a red telephone booth (which actually works!). Our tour was led by Jamie, who shared his extensive knowledge as he guided us through the Prohibition Era alongside our concierge, Landon. The speakeasy features stunning floors made of 120-year-old Italian wood, beautifully decorated with art, books, and a selection of premium entertainment and spirits. Patrons can request "prescriptions," which are 2oz alcoholic shots inspired by the owner's grandfather, who was a pharmacist. Cocktails and friendly service was provided by Emma and Kyle, their services were a nod to Bob Ruede, RPB's renowned Intoxicologist, along with other award-winning bartenders recognized for their excellence in service and hospitality. Eric, the Cigar Attendant, is knowledgeable about how to properly enjoy an exceptional cigar experience. The Mafia Room is an exclusive space perfect for guys' and girls' nights, intimate events, corporate gatherings, and celebrations. While Red Phone Booth offers exclusive membership tiers with premium perks, you don't need to be a member to enjoy the Prohibition experience.

A one-day difference, especially for a family celebration, could have easily been handled with a little kindness or flexibility, but instead we were met with rigid policies and zero customer appreciation. The food was ok, but customer service and how management treats families matter just as much. What should have been a special birthday outing turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience because of how uncompromising the manager was. It felt more like they cared about technicalities than creating good customer experiences. Sadly, this lack of consideration left a bad impression, and we won't be returning.
