    Seared Scallops and Lemon Risotto. The risotto was not citrus-y at all and had a very rich taste. Very beautifully done.

    Stayed at the Mariott where Jackdaw is located. Most of their clients seem to be people traveling for business. Jackdaw seems to be more busy on the weekdays so the there wasn't much of a weekend crowd when we ate here! My wife and I ended up sharing a few different dishes and were very pleasantly surprised! The pretzel bites appetizer was fresh and soft. The brussel sprouts were a great blend of salty, sweet, and savoury! The baked potato soup was great, and my favorite out of all was the Scallop Risotto! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto was beautifully rich! Drinks were also reasonably priced! If you're a local, definitely give this place a try! The hotel has its own parking lot so you won't have to worry about looking for parking! Just to be safe, call ahead to see if you'll need a reservation. Great place for a date and very friendly staff!

    We go to Jack Daw often. It's a local favorite. We have tried just about everything in the menu. Our only thing that changed for us today was the charcuterie, it just didn't live up to the normal standard. Good. Just not it's normal presentation.

    My third visit, and I'm officially impressed. Manager Annette and Ms. Toni orchestrated the full-to-overflowing dining room with more than the average number of large parties: groups of gamers (Root, Catan, more), teams decompressing after a week of solar car competition, golfers just in from the links. Great food, service so good that no one waited for anything, and a bar scene that hopped. Who knew that a hotel restaurant could be this well managed, let alone this successful? Thanks

    In the Marriott. Front desk people greeted us. Other random friendly employees told me where the bathroom was after I got up and started looking around for a second. Upbeat music. Good lighting. Good neighborhood. Across from Dallas Ft Worth Speedway. Delicious drink that the bartender made me. Hubby got a reuben. I got a salad that starts with a C. I forget. ....This drink is so good. We are sitting by the window. Overlooking the golf course. We are sitting at a table. I see people sitting at the bar. There is sports on the bar televisions. Conscientious, friendly staff. Upbeat place.

    Located in the Marriott hotel. The service was excellent and very friendly. They made sure that for my colleagues the drinks kept flowing. My initial order they ran out of, so I had to select something else. I had the filet which they butterflied; not sure why. I had ordered medium and it was well done. My salad was pretty bland. It's convenient to come here when in a pinch, but likely not a first choice for any reason.

    Five stars for service from Toni... I've never seen anyone running like she did on a busy race nascar night (with a restaurant packed of customers). Despite the kitchen running behind .. she was positive and upfront as soon as we sat down. This lady is manager material and cares as if this was her own restaurant. As far as the food 3.5 stars .. The grilled fish taco was bland but expected for bar food. The Mac and cheese was better but needed more salt. Toni is great and a very valuable employee.

The music selection and volume were equally well done, balanced in a way that felt welcoming to every generation. At one point, I almost felt like I had stepped into the bar scene from *The Shining*, not in a creepy sense, but in that nostalgic, timeless atmosphere kind of way. The Old Fashioned was prepared exactly right, especially with my request for lighter bitters since I do not enjoy it overly sweet. Many places miss that balance, but they nailed it here. The charcuterie board was easily one of the best I have had. The mozzarella and white cheddar were perfectly portioned, fresh, and rich. The green apple slices tasted incredibly fresh, like they had just been picked from the orchards of Apple Hill in California. The honeycomb was a first for me on a board and made the experience especially memorable. The artwork throughout the space also adds a unique character that I always appreciate in a restaurant. The prosciutto was a little tough but still had good flavor, while the Calabrese was spot on. Service was professional and attentive, with frequent check-ins throughout the evening. My only recommendation would be for servers to introduce themselves, as that small touch makes the experience feel more personal and welcoming rather than simply transactional.

Atmosphere is nice and open with plenty of bar seats as well as communal high tops and standalone tables. Nice outdoor patio when Texas weather permits! Tried a couple of their beers: Miso Smooth (Japanese rice lager - 5.5% ABV) and Soul Fire Ultra Light (American Light Lager - 3.7 ABV / 15 IBU). Both decent enough for what they were, the latter being helped by the fact it was only $3 a pint. For food, tried the newly opened Zaep Zaep Thai joint. Had the Thai Basil Combo Fried Rice and an order of Spring Rolls. Seriously good stuff! Unexpected quality for a food court! The chef (owner?) also came into the bar to check to see if our food was to our liking. Definitely a nice touch and I wish him much success. Olivia's Scratch Kitchen serving African cuisine was the only other option open. Was a tough decision and hopefully will be back soon to try their offerings! There was also a cupcake place (Kid Kakes) that seems to get great reviews, but with Oak St Pie Company just a few doors down... well... sorry Kid Kakes! At only 20 years old, the bartender did a great job serving us and was more genuinely personable than many who have done the similar job for years. All-in-all a great impulse decision after The Original Roy Hutchins BBQ line ended up being far too long to wait in!

We hadn't been since their renovation. Yayyy, Earl's! Not so fast. The prices have gone up quite a bit and the quality, way down. We ordered the Italian Cobb and it was good but a bit sparse - not packed full of all the yumminess it's made of anymore. Nonna's meatballs were the biggest disappointment. They have gone up almost $5 I believe and whoever's Nonna made them, overcooked or microwaved them to death. They used to be SO good! Now, they aren't. We ordered 3 pizzas - the Bianca, the Margherita and the BBQ Arezzo. The Bianca was good, the Margherita was good but a little sparse and the BBQ Arezzo was awful. Like, nobody would eat it awful and that's pretty bad. I don't know if ingredients were bad or what but there was little to no sauce and it was just...bad. So bad that I called and spoke to the manager that offered a free pizza - NO thanks - or a refund. I opted for the refund and because we still have not gotten a refund for the 1 pizza only, I decided to write a review. We have literally been going to Earl's for YEARS and it has always been amazing. I looked past the prices going up because the price of food had gone up but when nobody will eat the food because it tastes horrible or is overcooked and we have spent close to $100, I'm out. Not sure what's going on but they definitely need a new Nonna to whip them back into shape.

The crust was as perfect as one can get to a Naples, Italy, derum semolina dough. (That's the one without the unbleached enriched white flour American products use.)

The house red is Dark Horse cab. Jordan was my server. I loved her service, knowledge, and laid back professionalism. Her hair is gorgeous: long and black. She recognized me as soon as I walked in, despite being otherwise preoccupied. I appreciated that. While the inside is low-lighting, the ceilings are extremely high. There are several TVs tuned to sports. While there is a small patio out front along the street, the better one is the larger, covered patio (door found near the bar). There's a patio indoor/outdoor wooden Barton counter that is encompassed by the bar with raised windows on good weather days. There's plenty of tables on this back patio as well.

I would've been more happy had the order not gone thru due to timing. But this is my own opinion of food and delivery that was NOT what he paid for. I can only concur that dining in might be more suitable for those who liked the pics.

The…read moreservice is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming and the overall environment makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. I've even attended a private event here and the team did a phenomenal job from start to finish. They also have an excellent selection of spirits behind the bar for anyone looking to try something new-- whenever I look at the drinks menu I be Dublin. The food has always impressed me as well. I've had the spinach artichoke dip, the fish and chips and the shepherd's pie--which earns authenticity points for actually using lamb instead of beef. Everything has been delicious and I'm pretty sure the Fried Mozzarella Logs are next on my list today (7/2/2026). If you're looking for entertainment- (the back room) has a billiards table, shuffleboard and a dart board making it a great place to spend an afternoon or evening with friends. Currently, I am watching the World Cup game Portugal vs. Croatia and the atmosphere for sports is fantastic. I've also visited during their live music nights, which add even more character to an already great venue. Apparently, just in, they do Karaoke night every Thursday. Great food, great drinks, great people and a great atmosphere. Easy 5 stars.
