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.

As soon as I took a seat at the bar, one of the two bartenders handed me the drink and food menus…read more The number of taps could have been overwhelming. 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.

I've been wanting to try this place since I started going to UNT! I drive past it constantly and it…read morejust looks so interesting. I was finally able to pop in for a bite this week. The biggest thing that pulled me here was the gluten intolerant menu. It made the ordering process so much easier and I didn't have to ask a thousand questions like I normally do when I eat out. The staff was really accommodating of everything we asked for. The place was so nice! We decided to eat outside due to it being such nice weather. I will for sure be coming back!

I have a group of friends and we go here once a month prior to a meeting close by. I have to say…read morethat I am underwhelmed by this restaurant. Nothing is horrible or tastes bad but nothing is exceptional either. My first time there, I ordered The Big Salad, the name is quite misleading it was anything but big. There was surprisingly few of the ingredients that were supposed to be in the salad. It was supposed to have mushrooms, avocados, sunflower seeds, tomato, carrots, , diced beets and red onions with chicken. There were exactly three small strips of chicken that were unremarkable and certainly not a full portion of chicken. I certainly expected to get a serving of chicken for the cost of the salad. I got exactly two mushroom slices and the same minimal amount of each ingredient. I expected a bountiful salad, but got nothing more than a disappointing salad with a lack of the promised vegetables. Vegetables are inexpensive so I can't imagine why this restaurant is so parsimonious in putting some on their big salad. They do have an excellent happy hour with drinks really inexpensive. Also, they have a deal on appetizers during happy hour with those at $5.00. If you want to save some money, have an appetizer as your entree. One of the ladies in our group got the spinach dip with tortilla chips and bread. It looked yummy and she had some leftover to take home. We had a big group the first time I went. We were seated near a door that went to the patio. Every time someone went in and out a huge gust of air came in. They set up our table in the wrong place. Before we were done with dinner my hair looked like I had been in a hurricane. The wait staff is competent and gets our drinks and food out quickly. That is a plus in my book. So ho-hum bland food with good service. Sometimes you don't get everything you want. I will continue going with my friends and drinking a double gin and tonic to make my meals more enjoyable.

My husband and I went to Graffiti Pasta for the first time recently...and OMG - it was so good…read more The restaurant has an unassuming storefront that is easy to miss when just walking by, but when you step inside - be prepared for a warm, colorful dining experience. We made reservations. They probably were not needed for the night we were there, but I could see this place filling up quickly on some nights. The restaurant has a cozy retro vibe with MTV videos playing behind the bar and splashes of color throughout. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and the speed of the service was fantastic! Graffiti Pasta specializes in unique, delicious cocktails. There are no beers on tap (just cans), and my husband would have liked to have Peroni on tap even if that were the only choice. I enjoyed two of their cocktail which were both excellent. Our food was delicious and just the right amount of food. We left the restaurant satisfied without feeling like gluttons. Their stuffed mushrooms with filled with a creamy ricotta, the Banksy's Baked Ziti was delicious, and the homemade spaghetti was a special treat. I loved the build your own pasta options, And OMG at their rolls! SO good! Everything was wonderful and truly made for a great dining experience. It might have taken a while for us to find Graffiti Pasta...but we will definitely be back soon!

Carbs have never been this much fun…read more Graffiti Pasta is one of my favorite comfort food spots in Denton. The atmosphere is colorful, upbeat, and full of personality, making it just as fun as the food itself. The house-made pasta is absolutely worth the hype. You can taste the difference, and every bowl is fresh, flavorful, and the kind of meal that has you planning your next visit before you've finished this one. Great food, great vibes, and all the carbs your heart could ever want. What's not to love?

Fiori I fear has lost their way. We went there tonight for a celebratory dinner. We ordered a…read morebottle of wine and told our server to hold off placing our entrée order for 15 minutes so that we could enjoy a glass of wine in a leisurely fashion. We had no idea it would take an hour and a half for our food to show up. And when it did well, here's how it went. My wife had the chicken piccata and I had the wise guy pizza. My wife enjoyed her plate. Based on the last time I ordered the same pizza a year ago what showed up on the table was a sad echo of something that used to be good. The sauce was very thin and to the point of almost being nonexistent. The meatballs were very stingy as if they were trying to increase their margins by short serving a basic pizza. Overall, it was very dry and lacking of any discernible taste. No doubt because it sat in the kitchen for quite awhile, given the unusual duration that it took for our food to show up. I've had better frozen pizzas from the grocery store. It was a very dry and disappointing for something that used to be overloaded with flavor, sauce and meatball chunks. It was a marked contrast from when we had been here a year ago. What used to be a regular go to has turned into a sad disappointment. I'm putting it down to perhaps they had an off night. But we're not in a hurry to come back anytime soon to see if that was the case.

This night they had an espresso old fashioned which I have to admit was pretty good though wasn't sure when I ordered. Also have a chicken pot pie. The pie came out in a bowl and rather than a crusty bottom it came with a puff pastry atop. It worked though had uneven flavor throughout and slightly dry chicken. My wife thought it was perfect....LOL... to each their own. They do have a porch so perhaps in the spring weather time it will be a nice spot to get comfy with a drink. It is more a sports-themed bar with several large televisions and a large big screen in the center. Have Kenson make you an oatmeal cookie and you'll be pleasantly surprised. From the horse's mouth we were told the tacos probably weren't the best to try and so I'd stay away from those. Also tried the fish and chips and the fry was very much like a chicken fried steak than traditional FNC, though the flavor wasn't bad. Not sure I loved this style but the fries were great. People of all types came in and out the 3 or 4 hours we were there. Invited some friends to come out and join us and it was a good time so I'd recommend this place for groups. Didn't feel overcrowded here like at other places around town and I do prefer some elbow room.

So I had never been to this place and stopped by for a beer and a bite…read more There were not a lot of cars in the parking lot. Outside looked nice and clean. Walked in, and the location was very nice and inviting. You could tell that it caters to regulars. There were a lot of them sitting at the bar, and most of the dining tables were empty, walked up to a tabletop, and was greeted byba female server immediately. Cudos on the prompt service. I asked her what was good, and she said everything was good, but the wings were phenomenal. Wanted something that I hadn't had. She said the nachos were pretty good, and I ordered chicken nachos. Me thinking it was like standard nachos. You know the chips with cheese and toppings ok them. Nope, that was def not it.. So it took a few minutes for the nachos to come out, and the bartender, I think, brought the dish out. And on first glance kinda disappointed. I forgot to take pictures also! Smh, sorry! Anyway, they brought me a dish that had about 6 mini tostadas with cheese,beans, and about 3 mayb 4 chicken mini pieces on it! Man, I wish I had remembered to take a photo. I would have given it more justice so you could get the full effect. The flavor was decent, but they barely put any sour cream, no Pico, and a little bit of lettuce. The sour cream wasn't even enough to use on all the 6 tostadas smh. I did see someone else order the wings and instantly regretted the nachos damn they looked good. Finished off my nachos and paid the tab. Now to rate. -Location 6 outa 10 very clean and nice also has a nice patio Service 6 outa 10 server was friendly and helpful -Nachos 2 outa 10 nothing special about them -Beer 4 outa 10 mug was nice and cold it's beer unless it's skunked you can't mess it up‍ Probability of me coming back 50/50. Might come back for the wings. Also worth noting that the server said they are rolling out a new menu in a few weeks or maybe days, and it might be why my experience was so so with the food. I did snag a couple of pics from another reviewer so that you can kinda see what I was dealing with but substitute the ground beef or whatever that is for 3 or 4 little chicken chunks. And calling the chicken chunks is giving a lot more like a chip off a chunk..

I've been going here nearly once a week since they opened up the store front about 4ish years ago…read more Next to Osteria il Muro, this is the absolute peak of food in Denton. Michael and the front of house staff are absolutely amazing, friendly, welcoming and extremely accommodating in any instance where there is a need for that. The food, like I mentioned, is absolutely top tier thanks to Chef Tony and his food crew. Absolute artists as chefs and the thing that makes you keep coming back as much as I have is the creativity and huge range of dishes that are constantly being rotated through week by week. Sadly for my love of this place and these people, I'm moving up to New York state so this may well be my last time here, but if there is ever a time I'm near Denton and this place is open, you bet I'll be heading here. This place absolutely deserves your attention and patronage as well as this 5 star review and all the praise I can possibly heap onto it. Please come here to eat some amazing food. Thank you to Michael and Tony as well as the rest of the staff I've gotten to know over the years!!

So glad they have non-marinara chicken parm options because the pesto sauce was great and the chicken was thigh, so super well-fried and moist. Husband and I split the burrata, which was also excellent! Burnt carrots were cooked perfectly and paired well with the honey glaze and ricotta. Daily special arancini was our least favorite but still really good, so hoping that some day we can come back and try their other specials and mainstays. People say the smash burger is elite. We would definitely be regulars if we lived closer!
