Birthday dinner at Dumpling Queen was such a great experience! We celebrated with a group of girls…read moreand since they're BYOB right now everyone brought a bottle of wine which made it even more fun. We started with the green beans (10/10!), crispy tofu (SO good), a light and refreshing cucumber salad (perfect palate cleanser) and beef pancakes (not everyone's favorite but I really enjoyed them). Then we shared an assortment of dumplings. Every single one was delicious and the beef noodles which was an easy 10/10. By dessert I was in a full-on food coma but the lava bao was absolutely worth saving room for. The owner was incredibly sweet and even shared the story behind the restaurant, which made the meal feel extra special. Highly recommend this spot. I already can't wait to bring my family back!

Went in on a Tuesday evening for dinner with the family and the place was buzzing!…read more The servers were very attentive, the wait was short (around 10 minutes for our party of 3), and the ambiance was lively but not overwhelming. Susu, our server, kindly explained the most popular dishes and even gave some of her personal recommendations. Service was fast and the food was fresh and hot. Only notes I would make are the ratio of pork to beef or chicken dishes seemed skewed (perhaps that was the genre of cuisine) and there were not any vegetable options for kids (or I just missed it). We enjoyed soup dumplings and pan fried potstickers, while our so. Had some Lo mein noodles with chicken. Everyone left satisfied. We will be back! Thanks for the yummy dumplings.

The restaurant had opened for brunch several minutes prior to my arrival. The bar was still being…read moreprepared for the brunch crowd. Because the weather was cooperative, the windows of the enclosed patio and the bar were opened. Diners were able to sit at the bar in the patio area. The bar was initially staffed by a single bartender. Not only did she introduce herself, she also asked for my name. As I needed a menu, she asked the host for a stack for myself and other diners. A second employee, not as friendly, arrived sometime later to assist setting up the bar. There were some minor inconveniences arriving this early. Because I was the first to require a refill, the bartender had to get a coffee pot from the kitchen. Afterwards, she kept the pot at the bar. I decided on the Breakfast Egg Rolls. Not sure how something tagged "new" can be a house specialty. The breakfast jam lacked flavor. The egg rolls were saved due to the taste of the fried wontons. Of the two sauces, the maple syrup was better than the spicy hollandaise. The hollandaise lacked both heat and spiciness. When I was served coffee, I was not provided either cream nor sweeteners. As I did not notice any nearby, rather than wait to have the her return to the kitchen, I decided to give it a sip. Surprisingly, the coffee tasted great. It was neither acidic nor had a bitter aftertaste.

We got the tro, with mozzarella sticks, pretzel bites, and Asian roll! Nothing was hot just like they picked it out of a heat lamp buffet! Applebees probably could've done better especially for the price point! My ice tea was gross and asked for a water instead... then when it came to the bill I had to go through an act of congress just to get the charge removed! This place used to be great... I don't know what happened! I haven't even mentioned the service which was beyond pathetic!

Went here for a girls' night out with dinner and drinks, and we were not disappointed! The espresso…read moremartini was spot on, and the lemon rosemary chicken was absolutely mouthwatering. The portions are generous--I brought home half my meal, and it tasted just as good the next day. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars was that the restaurant was uncomfortably warm on the Friday evening we visited. In the Texas heat, the last thing you want is to be sweating through dinner. Hopefully it's just a temporary issue because I'd love to come back and bring my guy next time!

Our server Nacho was great! Everything else not so much. Our experience other than the waiter just…read morekinda sucked. The temperature inside the restaurant wasn't very cool. Then they had a BUNCH of ceiling fans turned on blowing the semi warm air around and it just wasn't a pleasant atmosphere with all the air blowing around and making all the different food smells get mixed up while you're trying to enjoy your dish. But moving on to the most important thing in a restaurant.. the food .. We ordered the FILET OSCAR for $48 which was a 10oz Filet Mignon, Crab Cake, Hollandaise Sauce, Asparagus and Whipped Potatoes. The steak was very overcooked. The asparagus was also overcooked somehow. The crab cake was deep fried and so so so oily and dry at the same time while being drenched in whatever sauce it was covered in. The whipped potatoes were pretty good but at this point the entire dish was so bad that there was nothing to accompany the whipped potatoes. The server was very nice and the food came out fairly fast but unfortunately it just didn't taste good. Has anyone else ever seen a deepfried crabcake at an upscale restaurant? Or I guess any restaurant for that matter? It was just a very distasteful way to present a dish that should have taken more TLC to prepare rather than just to bread and throw in a fryer like that. Sad day for us as this was on our date night list of local places to try out. We did flag down the manager to give him some live feedback. Hopefully he will try to make things a little better for other customers.

Stopped in with friends on a Saturday night. Immediately loved the indoor patio. It was so hot and…read morenasty out but the indoor patio was cool and almost empty. It was perfect!!! Got queso and flautas for app. Everyone loved it and wished the flautas were actually on the menu. Drinks- all deeeeee-lish !! Frozen mango marg, regular marg, Chardonnay and an old fashion. Then later turned to a Smokey fashion and espresso martini. We stopped there, but definitely should not have!! Entrees- we got the fish n chips, surf n turf enchiladas and pork chop schnitzel. All was amazing but the schnitzel was FANTASTIC!!!!! Dessert- we are fat a$$es and got all 3. Creme brûlée is my go-to any time it is on the menu. They had a mango, passion fruit one. Meh- would never get it again but lesson learned. Chocolate mousse- very rich. Friends loved it. Not my jam, ever so no stars taken away. However, the churro bread pudding was absolutely TO DIE FOR!!! Everyone wolfed it down. I would have punched a friend or 2 out to get the last bite but I was already stuffed and I was still snuggling with an espresso martini. Learned of the many upcoming events coming up and I can't wait to try them out as well. A bit pricy place but you know that going in and I rather pay more for great food and service! A GREAT FIND!!! Mad it took me so long to get here.

Fortunately, the daily feature menu provided drink suggestions. When decision making had reached its weekly limit, the Kobe & Crab Smash Burger was ideal. Rather than choose between meat or seafood, the burger is surf & turf between two buns. Fries or onion rings? How about fried onions as a topping and beer-battered fries as a side? While the hatch chili aioli lacked the heat to compensate for the smorgasbord of toppings, it complemented the crab cake.

Each time I have come I've enjoyed something from the Chalkboard which has been totally different both times and neither selection disappointed! Here are a few specifics Wait time :5/5 Minutes. Came at a golden hour of 5:30p and didn't have to wait. Service: 5/5 Greeted immediately and served primarily by Ian, but had several of the other guys being willing to help us out. Everyone had a pleasant "how can I help you?" demeanor. Selection: 4/5; some farm raised, some fresh. My only catch would be determining a way to offer at least one or two more fresh water options. Food quality: 4.5/5. My dish was delicious but the dirty rice, as reported by one of the people in my party, had a strange aftertaste. Wife loved the options! Portion size: the standout for this one was the generous kids portion for my son's fish sticks and rice. My portion could've been an ounce or two larger. Big pro: Plenty of options for someone who is on a gluten free or restricted diet. Would I go back: 100% Despite a couple of marks that were just shy of a "5", I'm rating it with 5 stars based on consistency in experience and quality of food.
