    Good food, garlic bread was fantastic. Pasta was good, slight lemon flavor on the garlic sauce, sauce was thin, meat overcooked and chewy.

    Great spot for Italian food in Mansfield. Everything I've tried has been very tasty! I love the mushroom soup, ceasar salad, and cheese bread as starters. I'm normally not a big fan of mushrooms, but that soup is fantastic, and I always look for it when I come here. The lasagna is very good and the meat inside it is very flavorful. The chicken parm is a great option too. Definitely listen to the specials though. The lobster ravioli and the salmon topped with shrimp were both delicious! Service is friendly it it has a great date night atmosphere. Definitely a good spot to try.

    The food was good! First the bread is already buttered and hot. Could be less cooked even but still good. Garden salad dressing is ON POINT. Salmon dish I had was a special. Ambiance is date night OR bring your grandmother - she'd love it too. Live music was solid. Don't forget to tip them too. Service was great. The wait staff all seem to be young hotties.

    We were blessed to be served by Austin tonight. He was very professional and made some great recommendations. We had veal parm with side thin spaghetti and a house salad with ranch, cappuccino and canola. The marinara was traded out for the house meat sauce and it was perfection. The sauce is thick and meaty. No bitterness and no sweet. The true tomato flavor stood out. You can smell some beef base in it as well. The noodles were cooked al dente and the plate was hot and ready to go. The salad was standard, the vegetables were very fresh nothing brown and had a great crunch. Served very cold. The cappuccino was on point. Austin made some great recommendations for shrimp and some vegetables and salad options. They do not have a gluten-free menu, but he mentioned that some items in the kitchen could be serve served and did not directly contain gluten. Due to having celiac, I could not risk possible contamination. The kitchen is wide open for viewing, it appeared extremely clean. Everyone from the hostess to the bus boys were extremely friendly and kind. But Austin was a rockstar tonight. We enjoyed our meal thoroughly. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    We had reservations for Valentine day. We walked in and they sat us right away. I was presented with a long-stem rose. Susie was our waitress and she was amazing! She was so friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was amazing and the bread was to die for!! We will be back to eat in the near future!

    Upcharges I was NOT made aware about when ordering.

Never has there ever been a time where I can eat them or ANYTHING containing them without gagging....UNTIL GRAND CRU.

Wine selection here is amazing, and the service has always been so friendly. We always feel at home. Cost inside, too with warm and low lighting. I highly recommend Grand Cru.

Chris let us know that they have live music on Friday, maybe Saturday nights. Plus, we loved the little puppy treat station by the door. We regularly got to see the cute puppies getting to stop for a treat on their walks! Give them a shot, I know I'll be back!

    Amazing meal! We've…read moreeaten at Meehan's 3 times before but it's been nearly a year since the last time. Tonight, we celebrated our 31st Wedding Anniversary there by having a very nice meal. On this Wednesday evening, they were filling up fast. We asked to be seated in a quieter part of the restaurant. We were seated near the door that goes out to the enclosed back patio area. It was perfect for us. Our server, William was out quickly to greet us. Others came by at the same time to fill our water glasses and leave some warm bread and salted butter. William congratulated us on our anniversary. My wife must have mentioned it when she made the reservation. William was very familiar with the menu as well as the wines. And he presented the options very well. You could tell he's a veteran server used to working with Meehan level clientele. We started with cocktails. My wife had a Cosmopolitan and I had the Butter Pecan Old Fashioned. It was real nice. About 15 minutes later, we were ready for William to take our order. We share the following: - 10 oz Beef Filet Mignon, medium rare, Au Poivre style - kitchen split - Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing and lots of crumbles - kitchen split - Baked Potato with Butter, Sour Cream and Chives - kitchen split - Brussels Sprouts - Complimentary slice of Raspberry Cheesecake - thanks Meehan's! - Slice of Carrot Cake to go With dinner, we each had a glass of Camus Suisan Walking Fool red blend Everything tonight was perfect. The ambiance of the restaurant, the table staff, the waiters, the kitchen, the food - wow, all so great. We'll be back. In fact, we're already working on brining a party of 7 to Meehan's in a few weeks.

The interior is elegant, warm, and inviting, and honestly, Meehan's gets an 11 out of 10 for the design alone. I originally came in for a steak, but the roasted New Zealand rack of lamb with pistachio mint pesto caught my eye instantly on the menu. The presentation was top notch, and the mint pesto was divine. The lamb was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the quality was outstanding. Without question, it was the best lamb I've had anywhere in the DFW area. Our server was Johnny on the spot the entire night and easily one of the best servers we've had all year. I highly recommend Meehan's Chophouse for a special night out. This is the kind of place that can turn a regular dinner into one of those meals you'll be talking about for years.

Magnolia gets busier every year, and I was confused by the signs in the back lot. After chatting with my server, I learned that parking is free in the back and side lot on weekends, so don't let the red and blue paid parking signs scare you away. The wine bar itself is spacious, with plenty of seating and a relaxed atmosphere. It wasn't packed, but there were enough people enjoying a bottle of wine and catching up with friends that it felt lively without being crowded. I really liked how the wine selection was displayed on the shelves with information about where each wine was from and the price. Using my passport, I chose a Vinho Verde from Portugal. It was light, crisp, and refreshing, just what I was looking for on a hot Texas afternoon. The service was excellent. My server was friendly, walked me through my options, and kept refilling my water throughout my visit, which was especially appreciated on such a warm day. I also noticed they have a full calendar of events, including live music, sip and paint, and a mimosa bar from 8-11 on Saturdays. What stood out most to me was the location. It's the perfect place to meet friends for a glass of wine before dinner on Magnolia, or to settle in and spend the afternoon people watching and relaxing. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their wine list.

And that's the reason why wine bars are so important to this public. Wine people are humanists, they get to know you on a human level through wine. Please try the crostini sampler.

Do not sit there and take up their time if you do not wish to have a beautiful glass. These beautiful people work very hard to make this a safe place. They deserve all the credit and love. Tip them cash. Much love.

Yes, it's on the pricier side, but some treats are worth every penny and this was definitely one of them!! The flavor was rich, creamy, and unforgettable.
