    Mushroom soup
    Jac B.

    The space is so beautiful. We sat at the bar and got good service. The cocktails were really amazing. We tried the milk punch and the negroni. The food was good but the items we got didn't blow our minds. The aguachile de atun had super tender fish but with limited flavor, the candied hibiscus was great, the sauce was very spicy but overall not very flavorful. The sauce is the seasonal chocolate clam was very good. Everyone else liked their clams but mine tasted a little funky until I got through the first layer of its meat. The mushroom soup was good, loved the little masa chips in there. The chunks of whole mushroom were a little big for the dish and the greens they added were huge, impossible to fit into your mouth gracefully. Definitely go for cocktails!!

    Insects in the restaurant, They never cared that there were insects on the table. Never comeback

    Sea bass
    Tosha R.

    I went with a group of friends to this new addition to the Dallas restaurant scene. Service was great. Beautiful space. Most of us started with a glass of wine which the pour was maybe 3 ozs. It was definitely light. I've visited a few fine dining places and while this one has the right look, I thought the food was bland, the portions were too small, and overpriced given both. I did order the sea bass. It looked good. I had to stop at Chick-fil-A afterwards to get some fries just to have something extra. This of course, is only my experience and it could have been an off night. I won't go back but recommend trying it.

    This is my new favorite restaurant in Dallas - the seafood is super fresh and the meals are Michelin quality...wouldn't be surprised if they won the Michelin award the next time they come through. The service was incredible - they definitely hire enough employees to keep the service attentive. Lastly, the ambiance is incredible - very upscale with beautiful natural lighting

    Tuvimos una experiencia increíble en Puerto Restaurant. El ambiente es hermoso, la comida estuvo absolutamente deliciosa y el servicio fue excepcional. El chef incluso nos envió algunos bocadillos de cortesía, un gesto muy especial y generoso. Es un excelente chef que realmente se preocupa por sus clientes!! Héctor, nuestro mesero, fue absolutamente maravilloso. Fue muy amable, atento y servicial, y realmente nos hizo sentir como en casa. Su atención hizo que nuestra experiencia fuera aún más especial. Nos sentimos sumamente bien atendidos y todo fue simplemente perfecto. ¡Súper recomendado, sin duda regresaremos! El gerente del bar vino personalmente a darnos la bienvenida , fue muy amable también !! recomiéndo altamente este restaurant !! We had an amazing experience at Puerto Restaurant. The atmosphere is beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. The chef even sent us some complimentary appetizers, which was such a thoughtful and generous gesture. He is an excellent chef who truly cares about his guests. Héctor, our waiter, was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, and he truly made us feel at home. His service made our experience even more special. We felt extremely well taken care of, and everything was simply perfect. Highly recommended -- we can't wait to come back!

    Dallas is lucky to have this place. The coastal Mexican is unique and everything was verging on delicious. Service was great and attentive. The margarita, while not traditional, was the best one I've had in a couple years. I hope dallasites patron this place, as all of our truly unique and wonderful places ultimately close, and the generic mediocre food thrives if it's a place to be seen.

    Great ambiance for date night or girls night, or more upscale easy casual at the bar. Everything was delicious but we especially enjoyed the margarita, seasonal chocolate clams, and red snapper. The martini was also a fun experience! Server was very knowledgeable and it seemed like the staff helped each other with serving/clearing so everything was timely and prompt, but we never felt rushed.

    Atmosphere

    Nailed it in every way: food presentation, atmosphere, timing dishes out, very attentive service! Will definitely be back!!

    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.

    WILL NEVER BE BACK!…read more HATED. EVERY. MOMENT. OF. THIS. PISS. POOR. EXPERIENCE. EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. VALET. NOT. FREE. I called before deciding where to eat on a Sunday afternoon to confirm parking situations. Parking is not easy downtown so this played a huge factor in figuring where, out of the dozens of brunch places, to eat. Definitely a bit of a walk to get accommodated at the actual restaurant so valet seemed the most reasonably enticing for parking solutions. Well, I called and spoke with the lady at the front desk. I confirmed with this little girl FOUR TIMES IF 1. They had valet available today 2. If it was complimentary. Come to find out it was not complimentary. And $7 for parking just doesn't sit well with me when there are ample free options else where with satisfying beverage, meal, ambiance, and service. All of which, I DID NOT GET AT HAYWIRE. I come in and although I had a reservation that I was 10 minutes early for while noticing tables available, I was told by that same girl who lied to me about parking I needed to take a seat. Reassuring me that it would only take two minutes to be seated. 10 minutes later I see coupled and groups walking in and guess what? They were immediately sat. While I am waiting to be sat at one of the three clean tables I'm staring at. I finally tell my boyfriend I am about to eat at the bar and he goes to the hostess stand to inform them our frustration and guess what? We were sat immediately. I get seated and there are two standing fans placed next to my table that's blowing my hair all over the f*****g place. I had to tell them to turn them off. What? No AC in this place either?? We immediately ordered and got the elk tacos for an appetizer. The tacos are WAY too spicy and way too salty. Too spicy AND too salty?? They're a no for me. You literally can't taste anything because of both! I HATED these little tacos. Probably the worst I've ever had. Ever seen someone attempt to pinch a bit of salt to season and the entire top comes off?? These tacos. My boyfriend had the chicken fried steak. He loved it (loves spicy and seasonings because he's Cajun) but I tried it and it was over seasoned. Again? Couldn't taste what I was eating. The mashed potatoes were divine. Enjoyed those! And then the green beans were tasteless. Hahaha what a joke. I ordered the barbacoa chilaquiles and it was literally too spicy to eat. Inedible. My eyes teared up, my nose started running, and I couldn't taste anything after a couple bites of the spice. I was so f*****g over this place I just ate my boyfriend's mashed potatoes and we left. If I had it my way, I wouldn't have paid for a thing here. They don't deserve our money and I HATE they got a cent from me. I'm livid. I hate this place W I L L N E V E R B E B A C K

    Truluck is always a good choice!…read more A group of 6 of us visited Truluck's to celebrate a friend's birthday and our server was as attentive to our group as if we were there as pairs or individuals. You can tell that the restaurant prides itself on excellent hospitality from entering to exiting. The crab cake was so delicious that once it arrived I forgot to take a picture and started eating it immediately It was a nice size and had plenty of crab meat. Whenever I see sea bass on the menu I go for it and the miso-glazed sea bass was delicious. The crab fried rice was a perfect pairing and I really enjoyed the shave vegetables. I ordered the petit sized meal. I love that they offer this so that you have the option to try multiple items or simply don't want leftovers of a dish. For dessert we had the baked Alaska. I heard of the dish but this was my first time trying it and I am in love. I attempted to order it on a cruise and while decent it didn't stand a torch to Trulucks! I always thought of it as a special occasion restaurant because of the upscale atmosphere but I just discovered they have daily happy hour so I will be checking that out soon!

Wine service to food and any other requirements. Well trained committed staff There were shared starters of crab cake, shrimp and Caesar salad. Shrimp was firm and tasty. Large shrimp. Crab cakes were also cooked well and the crab content was solid. Served on a bed of tartare sauce. Salad was also crisp and fresh. I chose the branzino and loved it. Cooked perfectly with a lot of lemon on it. Sides were mashed potatoes, mushrooms and asparagus. All cooked perfectly. Key lime pie ended the evening. That is a good key lime pie!! I highly recommend this place!

She brought great vibes and was nothing but sweet and attentive the whole dinner. 100/10 Let's jump into the food portion! ***Starters:*** Avocado dip - DELICIOUS! This had a lot more flavor than what we expected and the homemade chips made it the perfect appetizer. 10/10 Rainbow Sushi Roll - this was also great. The roll tasted fresh, but it is on the spicer side so don't order unless you can handle some heat. 9/10 ***Entrees:*** I got the Beverly salad and subbed my shrimp for seared ahi. According to our waitress, she said the receipt would reflect the Seared Tuna salad since there is an upcharge for the substitution but the food came out just like I ordered. My salad was fresh, bright and didn't leave me feeling heavy. 10/10 My cousin ordered the Maple Salmon. I believe the waitress said they now use gochujang sauce instead of maple. My cousin really enjoyed her meal and said she would definitely order it again. 10/10 The bachelorette ordered the steak frites, she ordered it to be cooked medium but it came out a bit more rare than she preferred. She still ate it as is and said it was tender and flavorful. 9/10 Lastly we ordered the lobster mac, this was sooooo good! The mac was runnier than I would like but the taste made up for it.

I personally thought the presentation of the salmon was too much and a bit odd. I wish there was more sauce (or at least a side of sauce). The risotto was too bland, but the brussel sprouts were tasty and lemony. The salmon had a great crust, but it was too undercooked for me and wasn't the best salmon I've had. The filet mignon was ordered medium rare, but too us it seemed a lot more rare and wasn't seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were delicious. Our server was kind and helpful.
