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!!!

It had been sitting out for a while and had an odd taste to it and wasn't fresh. I wouldn't recommend it. I would come back to see how the rest of the food is since the drinks and vibe were great! The service was slow, but kind and helpful.

Texas de Brazil is always an experience, not just a meal. If you're celebrating a special occasion…read moreor simply want to indulge, this is a place that's well worth the visit. From the moment we were seated, the service was attentive, welcoming, and made us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. The endless selection of grilled meats was cooked to perfection, with each cut arriving fresh from the gauchos and full of flavor. I also loved the expansive salad area, which offers so much more than just salad. From artisan cheeses and charcuterie to fresh vegetables, soups, and other sides, there's something for everyone, even before the main event begins. The atmosphere feels upscale yet comfortable, making it a great choice for date nights, celebrations, or when you simply want to enjoy a memorable dining experience. Between the exceptional service, incredible variety, and consistently high quality food, Texas de Brazil continues to be one of my favorite steakhouses. Oh and my favorite?? The caipirinha and the garlic picanha. I'll definitely be back.

My daughter wanted to come here, and we had been gifted a Texas de Brazil gift card, so that's…read moreultimately what brought us in. We normally prefer Fogo de Chão, and unfortunately this visit reminded me exactly why. We made a reservation for a party of five: two adults and our three children. From the beginning, there seemed to be an unusual amount of confusion over the fact that we had three kids with us. Three separate employees, including servers and management, asked us how old our children were. I answered every time. What really crossed the line for me was when one of the employees walked up to my 13-year-old son and directly asked him how old he was. The way the question was posed made it seem like there was somehow a right or wrong answer. He hesitated for a second because he was caught off guard, and when he answered "13," she responded, "You had to think about it?" That kind of interaction is completely unnecessary. Whatever your age policy is, ask the parents, explain the policy, and move on. Don't repeatedly question a family and then put a child on the spot like you're trying to catch somebody in a lie. It immediately changed the tone of the entire experience. On top of that, we had to specifically request things like the mashed potatoes and rolls instead of them simply being brought to the table. These are small things individually, but when they keep stacking up, they become the experience. The bigger problem is that Texas de Brazil is no longer competing in a vacuum. Fogo de Chão already provides a better experience in my opinion, and there are more independent Brazilian steakhouses opening that offer great food without the feeling of a large chain fumbling through basic hospitality. The food here was already second to Fogo for us. Add the customer-service experience we had with our children, and I don't see a reason for my family to return or recommend this location. There were simply too many unnecessary disappointments in one visit.

It was her first...everything, and she'd love to preserve the happiest memories of us. You confirmed that you do bouquet preservation, and asked us to provide photos, but also stated that you were busy so you could not stop by to pick up the bouquet until Monday - it's under 20 minutes of driving distance to your business location, so distance wasn't a challenge, and we would've gladly dropped it off had you asked. She called you again around noon today, which you answered and said to stop by around 6PM to pick up the bouquet. We texted you again around 7PM after waiting. I will never forget how the hope and light on my wife's face faded to disappointment in the spam of a minute or so. You forgot, and claimed that because you have so much other Thanksgiving business to handle, you have to leave town and will not be stopping by. The flowers have started to wilt since last week. We waited by your request and now my wife will not have her wedding bouquet preserved. Disappointment and disrespect don't even begin to describe what you've managed to achieve. If you've ever wondered how you could possibly provide the worst service via negligence and casual callousness, then this is it.

RECONSIDER! Going there was a miSTK…read more For a dinner that cost close to $300 for two people, I expected a much higher level of quality and execution. I ordered the salmon cooked medium, and it was extremely dry, almost the texture of jerky. It also had a noticeably fishy taste. Yes, salmon is fish, but fresh, properly prepared salmon is usually mild and buttery. This was neither. Looking at the dish, it was visibly overcooked, dry, and flaky rather than moist and tender, which was especially disappointing at this price point. The strip steak was equally underwhelming. The quality reminded me of something you might expect from a much more casual budget-friendly steakhouse. It lacked seasoning and overall flavor. STK offers flavored butters and enhancements for an additional charge, which is perfectly reasonable, but a steak at this price should be able to stand on its own. Instead, the enhancements felt more necessary than optional. What made the experience even more disappointing was that the restaurant wasn't particularly busy during our visit, so it wasn't a situation where the kitchen appeared overwhelmed or service was stretched thin. With the restaurant operating at a slower pace, I expected greater attention to quality and execution. The cocktails were another letdown. At most upscale restaurants, the drinks are part of the experience; creative, visually appealing, and memorable. These were very plain and uninspired, especially considering the cost. The atmosphere and ambiance are nice, but the food simply didn't justify the price. At this type of restaurant, you expect high-quality ingredients, expertly prepared dishes, and elevated cocktails. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short of those expectations.

We were in town for a the Worlds Pickleball Tournament, which was held at nearby Brookhaven Country Club. We were pleased with the location of the hotel, the ease of getting in and out, and the convenience of the many restaurants and retail locations in the attached mall. I was hoping to have more time to shop (or perhaps iceskate), but pickleball took over and I didn't have time for any of that. I did utilize the Westin Workout facility a couple of mornings, which I appreciated. I don't think this Westin had all of the usual amenities (perhaps upon request), but we all slept well in the heavenly beds and appreciated the showers daily. I would absolutely return to stay here again on future trips to Dallas!

I stayed at The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas for a work-related trip on a weeknight, and overall it was…read morea nice experience. I usually prefer staying farther north of Dallas, in areas like Plano, McKinney, or Frisco, so this was my first time staying here. Valet parking was smooth once I found the entrance, but it was a little tricky to spot when driving in for the first time. Check-in went well, and I appreciated that the front desk staff proactively asked about my Marriott loyalty number to make sure it was connected to my reservation. My room was on the 8th floor, and while the view was not especially scenic, the room itself was comfortable, clean, and fresh. The bathroom was spacious, there were plenty of towels, and there was a robe in the closet. The lighting was on the dim side, so I had to turn on nearly every light to make the room feel bright enough. One thing I did not like was how the minibar snacks were displayed. They were left out in the open without visible pricing or clear signage indicating that they were for purchase. The set-up made them look complimentary, which felt misleading, so I would definitely recommend checking before touching anything. I was also surprised that the bathroom did not have any glass cups. There were complimentary plastic bottled waters in the room, but no regular glass or cup for brushing teeth or general use, which felt unusual for a hotel of this level. For the work event itself, the hotel was convenient. The meeting rooms were easy to navigate, especially compared with larger conference hotels where rooms can be spread out and confusing. The catering was also decent. Lunch options included salads with proteins, though vegetarian protein options like tofu were lacking. Overall, The Adolphus was a solid place for a work stay and meeting. I had a few small issues with the room setup and snack display, but the service, cleanliness, meeting spaces, and catering made it a good experience overall.

We stayed here recently for a convention, and there was ample space for the myriad sessions and areas needed for this. And overall our stay was OK. Some of the good: * Our room was comfortable and clean. * My kids loved the outdoor pool. * Love that there is also a bee garden on the roof. * There are a few restaurant options, as well as a market with grab-and-go items, so you can likely find food nearby. * The food we ate during the convention's sit-down dinners were tasty. Some of the meh: * Parts of the hotel are a bit dated. * We went to the more casual of the restaurants and were disappointed to see it doesn't have a kids menu. * There needs to be better signage on the outside that directs you to the hotel's solitary entrance. This hotel takes up a large city block, and when we arrived, we ended up walking all the way around -- in 90+-degree heat with kids and luggage -- trying to find the only open entrance. * I wish there was a shuttle to Love Field. For being the largest hotel, I was surprised when this wasn't offered. Would I stay here again? Yes, if I was attending a conference here. Otherwise, I would likely go elsewhere.

I came here for a work convention in early August 2026, and unfortunately, my experience was far…read morebelow what I would expect from a four-star hotel. Check-in was a complete nightmare. Everyone seemed to be arriving at the same time, and the line wrapped around the lobby. I initially opted to use the mobile room key on my phone, but unfortunately, it didn't work. One of the employees told me that the mobile keys sometimes work and sometimes don't. I called the front desk from my friend's room, whose mobile key did work, and was told that I would need to come to the front desk to obtain a physical key. At that point, I had no interest in standing in what was an extremely long line, so I left my luggage in my friend's room and walked around the area instead. It's honestly disappointing that a massive hotel of this size doesn't offer any type of shuttle or concierge service to make things easier for guests. Fortunately, when I returned later, the line was gone, and the front desk staff were approachable and friendly. Getting to my room was another challenge. The hotel has multiple towers--North, Central, and South--and multiple elevators, with some elevators only providing access to certain floors. For a first-time guest, the layout can be extremely confusing. Once I finally got to my room, the problems continued. The bathroom fan/vent did not work, so the steam from the shower had nowhere to escape. Beyond being uncomfortable, that seems like a maintenance issue that could potentially contribute to mold or moisture problems over time. The TVs were extremely dated, with an old-fashioned, slow channel guide and no apparent way to connect to streaming services. The beds were also extremely firm, with minimal covers. I woke up every morning with significant back pain. The temperature in the room was perhaps the biggest issue. Although the thermostat was set between 72 and 75 degrees, I constantly felt freezing whenever I returned to the room. Eventually, I realized the actual room temperature was consistently around 60-61 degrees. I found myself taking extremely hot showers just to warm up afterward. I had to request additional blankets on multiple occasions, and the room was simply uncomfortable. I ultimately chose not to report the issue because I had heard other guests complaining that their rooms were too hot, and given the record-breaking temperatures outside, I would rather have been cold than overheated. The food options at the hotel were another major disappointment. Everything was incredibly overpriced, and I found the value to be poor. I would strongly recommend walking across the skywalk to the JW Marriott, where there are actual restaurants with much more reasonable prices and better options. Overall, for a hotel that is rated four stars, my experience felt much closer to a 2.5-star stay. The friendly front desk staff were a positive, but between the chaotic check-in process, confusing layout, maintenance issues, outdated amenities, uncomfortable room temperature and beds, and overpriced food, there were simply too many problems to justify the rating or price.

There is an in-room coffee maker but I had to beg for coffee, Splenda, and creamers everyday. Also, for some reason washcloths were a highly coveted rare item.

The temperature still didn't regulate to a comfortable level. The bathroom floor was either super scuffed or just dirty, at that point I was too tired to bother. In the morning, after checking out departing the parking garage, the stop sign above the drive way exit broke loose, very nearly striking my car and dangled by a cable. No sense of urgency on the part of the staff. No apparent care for the hotel and over uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. Would not recommend ... not even a little.
