    Scallops were great!
    Sarah K.

    Came here for lunch with my husband. We sat outside and it was gorgeous! I ordered the scallops and they were awesome! Good texture, not gritty at all, decent size, and nice flavor. My husband ordered the braised short rib. It was served with cheddar grits that were flavorless and the short ribs themselves were rather dry. 3 stars because as beautiful as this place is, that's the only real consistency about it. I've heard from many friends that the food quality is hit or miss, and in my experience that has been true.

    MARIE GABRIELLA RESTAURANT & GARDENS : Excellent location for weddings & event in dwntwn Dallas.
    Siobhan F.

    I only experienced this location as a wedding guest, not as a customer. When I received a beautiful invitation to this wedding; saw the address and looked it up on the internet, my first thought was were the heck is this place. I've driven in that part of downtown Dallas several times and nevet seen this gorgeous venue. Marie Gabrielle Gardens is literally hiding in plain sight ELEVATED from the main streets that border it. It is a fabulous location for a wedding or special event! The wedding was held outdoors in the gardens. After the wedding hors d'oeuvres were waiter served with a signature cocktail. After photos were taken guests took their seats indoors for an excellent meal of steak and sea bass; I traded my steak for my guest's sea bass so I enjoyed a tasty double portion. He commented that the steak was excellent considering how many people had to be served at the same time; it's typically difficult to get the steak to the table still tender and perfect; the same can be said for the grilled sea bass. The layout of the indoor dining space is long and somewhat narrow and judging from the unfinished appearance of the part of the dancing floor, it's possible that they are in the process of an expansion. Nonetheless, from indoors, all still had a great view of the gardens.

    We had the BEST and most BEAUTIFUL experience for our October 2021 wedding at Marie Gabrielle for just over 100 guests! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in the garden at Marie Gabrielle and everything was so incredibly beautiful. Also, THE FOOD was amazing! Honestly tasted better the day of the wedding than during our tasting months before! We couldn't believe how much our guests ate, which we couldn't blame them because everything tasted so incredible! The team at Marie Gabrielle went through a few staffing changes throughout the 16 months or so from when we booked our date to the actual wedding day, but the team collectively made sure we were taken care of during each handover. The online system that the Harwood company uses to manage events makes it super easy to communicate with the planning team and keep track of documents, decisions, and invoices. The kitchen and wait staff did amazing at executing on the day of and made sure to work so well with our wedding coordinator so that everything was done in a timely manner. We could have not been happier with how our entire wedding day went at Marie Gabrielle and will remember it forever.

    Marie Gabrielle Restaurant is so fancy without the fancy prices. I took my department there for lunch and everyone was very impressed with the ambiance both inside and out. The decor, table settings, and even the menu had a very rich, luxurious feel. All seven of us ate a different dish and everyone was extremely happy with their meals. Unfortunately, it was raining and very windy so we had to eat inside, but we had a table near the large retractable windows so we could still enjoy the view of the scenic gardens and pond. Another big plus was the free, underground parking. I was also surprised by the cafeteria style take out line. Everything looked delicious, including the chocolate cake. But alas, we didn't have room for dessert. Maybe next time. I will definitely go back to Marie Gabrielle for lunch. I only wish it was open for dinner!

    I needed a quick lunch again so reluctantly went to MG again. When I saw they had shrimp tacos as "Tastes of the Day" I was thrilled thinking that they had finally improved as the ingredients "looked" fresh. Unfortunately I was even more disappointed ..the fried shrimps were as hard as rocks and didn't taste like shrimps at all...they seemed to be just fried flour left overnight ... it cost me $13 for this! I think Harwood needs to put some pressure on them to improve their food qualities!

    Fancy spot! You wouldn't mind if I review it, would you? Eating out in Dallas can get really…read moreexpensive, really quick. Often times after it's all said & done, you wonder - was that worth it? Thankfully, that is NOT the experience I had at Haywire! I ate here on August 9th, 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. I was with a large party but would love to return for a more intimate experience. On this Saturday, my younger cousin was graduating from Parker University so I was in town for the weekend. At around 1pm, I was one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. Unfortunately the parking is a bit confusing. There was construction being done on the same street when I went but there's a parking garage for customers that's difficult to navigate AND the elevator that connects wasn't operating at the time which was an issue for many (but not me, I got a good spot & walked). My party hadn't all arrived yet so I took a gander. Upon entering the tall doors, the space breathes southwestern elegance: wooden structure, leather seating, separate dining areas with highlighted ranch-style art. The abundance of space gives it an open-concept feel. The lighting fixtures are modern, the space was dim but not too low, with an option to utilize the large windows also. I was quiet impressed at the overall presentation. When my party did arrive, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and a Hibiscus Haze with Vodka. The table shmoozed as we ate some of the appetizers: the Crab Dip & Green Tomatoes, both amazing. The food did take some time but, considering it was 10-12 of us, that's expected. The Hibiscus Haze was splendid: smooth & flavorful, a great concoction. Cobb salads are usually pretty thick but this one was HEARTY. It came in a large bowl stuffed with the all the toppings. The dressing it was tossed with was well balanced but could've used a tad bit more. With some pepper & a little ranch, I was set! I defeated the salad but it also left me stuffed to the gills. Satisfying meal that I would order again! There are tons of restaurants to dine at in Dallas & sometimes you never know which is worth your time. Despite the inconvenience of parking, I'd bet my bottom dollar that this is a good place to eat. Whether you want a fine dining experience, it's a special occasion or just want a good drink with a meal, Haywire has enough to satisfy all interests.

Knowledgeable about the menu & great recommendations. Kev was a joy to have as our server. The food is amazing & love the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint...we came in early Saturday prior to Stars game. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked to wait. Waited maybe 5-10mins. No biggie, A lot of open tables were available for immediate sit down. Again that wasn't a big deal. I had asked for a booth & wanted to sit in front room. The hostess said no a problem. She handed us off to a younger hostess and she took us to a table. I told her I had requested a booth. In the front room only 3 tables were occupied. I pointed out the booth and she said that's for party of 6. However, we could have the 1/2 table/booth. Made absolutely no sense because that was for a party of 6 as well. I made this comment & she just stared at me without saying a word. I didn't want to seem difficult and took the table as she just walked away. Kev was confused as we were. No good communication skills. It was an awkward encounter. The restaurant wasn't busy at all & never was whole time there. Kev wasn't sure why she didn't move us a requested & was puzzled himself. However i apologized to him & explained I wasn't trying to be difficult, but prefer booth sitting and most times we will wait for one. We left at 1:45p and restaurant was no busier than when we arrived. Reservation/Booth or not! I guess saying all of this, your front staff need to have more people skills when dealing with your customers. They are the face and first point of contact. Again Kev was amazing & food was outstanding!

We were seated immediately and our server was very friendly and got us started with water immediately. My wife informed her of the food allergies and informed us that whatever he is interested in, she will let us know if he can have it or if they are able to modify it. I ordered the Deviled Avocado (their play on the Deviled Egg). First it looked so cool and the avocado was the base and instead of the creamy egg it was a chick pea cream with some salt and seasoning. It was topped with onion straws. OMG it was really good. I really loved it and the texture was similar to deviled egg. For my main dish, I got a fresh kale salad with ranch dressing. It also had chick peas croutons. The ranch was light and very good. The kale was crisp and the chickpea croutons were unique and crispy. It was large enough for two. I also ordered a side of fresh cut fries which were cut thin. It was crispy and lightly salted. I can't skip in ordering fries especially if they look good. And looks matched the taste. The service was great and she kept checking on us.

The tallow fries that came with were warm, not hot, and just ok. I was expecting more. I would not order fries again. Others ordered the brussel sprouts, mashed tators, all were very good. And lastly a falafel burger. It was pretty tasty. All in all a great place. I think the execution for some of the menu items were off, so maybe warrants another visit.

We tried the hot honey pizza the last time we came and tried the Barnyard this time around and O M G! It was so so great! The buffalo bites are also a hit for us, mainly because they serve a lot of bites and not just 5-6 like most places! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying their festive drinks! My boyfriend enjoyed a hot peppermint tea while I got to try their sugar cookie martini and their Espresso Manhattan! The Sugar cookie martini definitely took the cake! 10/10! I was worried for a bit because of how milky it is, but it was a pleasant surprise! Overall, the experience was astounding! We definitely want to come back for their Home Alone night!

It's got that airy, high-ceiling energy that's perfect for getting work done without feeling like you're trapped in a cubicle. The Vibe: It's cool without trying too hard. You'll see local art on the walls and plenty of natural light. By day, it's a laptop paradise with lo-fi beats; by night, the lights dim, the music picks up, and the patio becomes the place to be--especially if you have a dog in tow. Happy Hour (3 PM - 7 PM Daily): This is the real draw. Their Espresso Martini is a local legend, but the Chocolate Espresso Martini is the move if you want something decadent. If you're there on a Tuesday, they run happy hour prices all night. Don't sleep on the $5 pimento grilled cheese--it's the ultimate "I'm not that hungry but I need a snack" food. The People: Expect a very "Lower Greenville" crowd: a mix of productive millennials, SMU students with headphones on, and groups of friends sharing s'mores kits (yes, you can roast them at your table). The staff is laid-back and friendly, though they definitely stay hustling during the weekend brunch rush.

Overall, with the number of brunch spots in Dallas I would reserve halcyon for study/coffee spot as opposed to a must try weekend brunch.

The night started beautifully--we enjoyed espresso martinis at the bar and were then seated at one of our favorite tables. We ordered a bottle of wine and caviar and were settling in to plan the rest of our meal when the experience took a turn. A tween/teen birthday party was seated in the private room. At first, we assumed the noise was just initial excitement and would settle after a few minutes. The parents of the birthday girl were seated nearby, and when the mother got up, we expected she might ask the girls to lower their volume. Unfortunately, the opposite happened--she brought the group out into the main dining room for photos, where the noise level became even more disruptive. Another couple seated near us--at what is typically a very desirable table--lasted no more than five minutes before asking to be moved outside. Shortly after, a manager approached the private room. We anticipated they would address the noise, but instead, they greeted the party warmly and thanked them for being there, without making any effort to manage the disruption. After so many consistently great experiences, it was honestly shocking. We truly felt as though we were being punked. My boyfriend and I both have children and enjoy bringing them to nice restaurants, but part of that experience includes ensuring they understand and respect the environment. When that standard isn't upheld--especially with no support from management--it significantly detracts from the experience for everyone else.
