I ordered the Pineapple Martini, which was really good, and the Blackened Shrimp & Grits, which had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The food came out quickly, the atmosphere was nice, and the service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend asking for Emma if you get the chance!

I met up with my YELP friend for happy hour. This was her first visit to CraftWay. I'm a big fan of…read moremost of the food and cocktails. Things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped for her first visit, but management apologized and tried to make up for it. I appreciated the effort on their part and opportunity to give my feedback. I'm thinking it was an off day as the shrimp pasta was extremely salty on this visit. Food: My Reuben egg rolls were a delightful and delectable bite. One of my favorite appetizers. The Russian/Thousand Island dressing is so good. (4 STARS for the appetizer only) Pasta the presentation was great. However, today someone in the kitchen was heavy handed on the seasoning and it was super salty. The taste was not good. Seeing that I have had it multiple times I won't criticize it as much and chalk it up as a one off. Drinks: The Frosé is so refreshing. It's a cold slushie perfect for a warm summer day. The sample flight is also cool and a great way to taste all the drinks. The presentation is cute and it's a fun experience. (5 STARS) Ambiance: It's a cozy and comfortable vibe. I always feel relaxed and enjoy myself. (4 STARS) Service: The staff is always pleasant and friendly. I want to thank the manager for my concerns on the pasta. The way she handled it was professional. (4 STARS) So overall I had a good visit. Everything was a hit minus the pasta it was a miss this visit. I will definitely be back as this is one of my favorites.

We LOVE Haywire and I update my review whenever we have a unique or new experience thats worth…read moresharing. Well... this one definitely qualified. We dropped in on a Sunday with one very important mission: splurge on dessert lol. FYI.. If you haven't tried Haywire's Chipolte Chocolate Cake, Whiskey Bread Pudding or their famous Pecan Pie, you're missing out. No lie! There was one big problem. They were completely booked. Inside was full. Outside patios and bar area -- all full. Apparently everyone had Sunday plans to eat at Haywire. Yes, its that great. But instead of turning us away, management thought outside the box and put us in a tent. That's what I call real customer service! This was a new exciting experience for all of us. Third floor rooftop area, seated us in one of Haywire's private canvas tents. These are not camping tents, think Texas glamping lol. Private dining space. Climate controlled. Cozy, and had the ability to close for privacy. The tents can accommodate up to six people. They can be reserved for 2 1/2 hours with a $150 food-and-beverage minimum, rather than a separate rental fee. See my pics. What started as a quick stop for desserts turned into a little adventure and one of our more memorable visits. Thank you Haywire, we appreciate everything you do to make life relaxing for regular folks like us.

Had a lovely lunch today with my cousin, whom I hadn't seen in a few years. We are both talkers,…read moreand even though we were seated a good 30 minutes before ordering, we never once felt rushed, which is exactly why we chose this place. The food was excellent! We had the fig, prosciutto and hot honey pizza and shared a Caesar salad. Delish! It was the perfect amount of food for the two of us. Our server was fantastic and didn't seem to mind at all that we camped out after finishing our meal. He gave us the freedom to sit, visit and catch up for 3 1/2 hours! We made sure to take good care of him because he certainly deserved it. It was a wonderful dining experience all the way around. Great food, great service, and the perfect place for two cousins with plenty to talk about!

As its name implies, Sixty Vines serves 60 sustainable wines on tap, with the wine menu being…read moreorganized from lightest to darkest. You can order various sized pours from a half or full glass, to a quartino (8 oz) or a carafe (750 ml). Be mindful of the pricing: one carafe alone was $74! No matter what I order, the food is always a stand out. However, as much as I enjoy the extensive wine list, it's hard to justify the pricing of the wine. I did a flight (note: it's DIY), and hated that I spent $65 on four 2.5 oz of wine! The venue itself seems to be inviting and large, I saw 3 large parties hosting baby showers (WEIRD being at a restaurant focused on wines...)! The decor here is super cute and tastefully decorated. Pro tip: Happy hour is served Mon-Fri from 3-6 PM and saves you $2 off shared plates and $3 off 5 oz pours!

I'm always in love with the rustic interior that really brings farm-to-table to life! We're greeted at the door with top notch customer service. Our server Savannah was so sweet and attentive to our needs. My husband ordered the Gold Rush Cocktail, which he loved by the way. Our boys all ordered the tavern burger because it's so good. I ordered the chicken melt and my husband ordered the French onion burger. We always enjoy the fresh ingredients that are used. Everything tasted AMAZING! Hot fresh and delicious!

We had the deviled eggs and lump crab cakes to start, and both were SO good. Prices were great too. Our waitress, Staci (or Stacy), was AMAZING. Sweet, funny, great at banter, and incredibly attentive. Even when she was busy, she never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. When she was at our table, we had her full attention, she checked on us the perfect amount, and we never had to ask for anything twice. She was on top of her game! My only complaint was a really awkward interaction at the end. I wanted to ask Staci two simple questions: whether they carried an olive gin I'd had in Europe (they didn't, but I haven't found it anywhere) and whether I could buy a roll of quarters because we were going to play pool. Somehow this turned into 5-6 staff members gathering around, plus this random blonde lady in a white T-shirt and jeans joining the conversation. Aside from Staci and the blonde lady, no one else even acknowledged me. They just stood there looking at me. It was weird. It felt like a lot of unnecessary attention over two simple questions and made me pretty uncomfortable. Having another customer involved was honestly the weirdest part. It was disappointing because we'd had such a great experience up until then. I went from thinking, "I need to bring my friends here!" to leaving feeling pretty unwelcome. Food: delicious. Atmosphere: beautiful. Prices: great. Staci: WONDERFUL. I just wish the interaction at the end had matched the rest of the experience. I changed my rating from two stars to four stars because I didn't feel like one bad interaction was worth two stars and I was a little flustered when I originally wrote my review.

First time trying this place! Some of my Dallas local friends took me to this area, and there were…read morea bunch of different drink and restaurant spots nearby. There was also a little river, and the day we went, there were street vendors selling trinkets, so it was a nice area to walk around and explore. We had already eaten earlier, so we just stopped in for drinks. I've been seeing soft serve margaritas all over social media lately and had been wanting to try one. I was excited to see one on the menu and had to give it a shot. I ordered the mango soft serve margarita and added strawberry purée. It was super yummy, but maybe a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend sharing one if you just want to try it. The restaurant itself was nice, with plenty of seating, and the service was very quick. Overall, it was a fun stop for drinks and a great addition to our evening.

Located right on the street, it's a good spot to stop for a bite to eat and drink right there in the historic downtown Plano. They even source their meat from the local Ye Ole Butcher Shop that is right down the street. I opted for the McNeal's classic burger. Those burger patties are amazing. If you have never had one and are a burger lover, stop by here sometime or the butcher shop itself. The side of fries here are crisp, not soggy or flavorless. Definitely has the pub feel going on. If I lived closer I would probably call this place home. I have had different servers the times I have been, and the service has been friendly and spot on. Update: went again and ran into someone from my hometown. This is def a Cheers type place lol

Overall: 4.4/5 [dine in]…read more The service was amazing. The moment we walked through the front door someone approached us right away to make sure we got situated. We chose to sit outside to be near the live performance which was a great call. We got the Irish Flag ($20) which is a flight of 3 tea shots in green, orange, and white tea. It was pretty light but fun to try. We then saw our friends sharing a frozen margarita that looked too good to pass up so we ordered one too. I cannot believe they are only $10 because they are huge and definitely meant for sharing. They have a few flavors to choose from and I do not remember which one we got but it was good and strong in the best way. It sneaks up on you. No brain freeze either which was a bonus and it put us in a great mood for the rest of the night.

My partner and I recently moved to the area and were scouting for places with gluten free options…read more Bavette was at the top of the list. Indeed, much of their menu is gluten free. Service was great...attentive without being overbearing. Our drink order arrived quickly, and the flight of shareables + salad that we ordered came out quickly as well. We selected the spinach dip with corn chips and salsa, deviled eggs, croquettes, and estilo gaucho. Our favorite was the croquettes with their very tasty coulis and remoulade sauce. However, everything was fresh with great flavor. Delicious! We also appreciated Bavette's open kitchen, comfortable booths, and classy vibe. We'll be back.

The inside was smaller than I anticipated but I really liked the aesthetic of the place. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the very friendly host and taken to a nice booth seat. My server Joshua was also friendly and made quite a few recommendations on what to order; I decided on the deviled eggs to start and got the butcher burger for my entree. I can't believe I'd encounter the day I didn't like a deviled egg. I didn't care for these deviled eggs at all. Something about the seasoning in the eggs didn't work for me, I thought the egg white part was really thick and tough and the candied bacon on top didn't work for me as far as cohesive flavors. The burger though made up for it, the burger was very good. I could taste the quality of the meat and the toppings weren't carrying the burger, the meat was thoroughly seasoned throughout, I really enjoyed it. The fries were great as well, skinny, crisp and piping hot. I wasn't a fan of their ketchup, there was some flavor in it that I didn't appreciate. I got a pistachio tres leches to go and it was just ok. I love tres leches cake, so naturally, if it's on the menu, I'm ordering it and I could see this being a fan favorite but it was way too wet to me, like drenched to the point where the cake disintegrated in my mouth and I prefer a less saturated tres leches. Other than the burger, everything else was kinda mid. I do wish the menu had more options, and honestly, I don't see myself returning just for the burger. But the burger was good, so try it for yourself

We all shared the charcuterie board which featured prosciutto, salami, white cheddar, goat cheese, brick oven grapes, and toasted lavosh. This was a perfect appetizer and doesn't overfill you! I enjoyed the brick oven gnocci. This is prepared with pesto, mozzarella, and herbs. This one of my favorite dishes on the menu. It is always pipping hot, so you will need to wait for it to cool quite a bit. This is flavorful and hearty for only 550 calories. I also tried a dessert for the first time- they call them small indulgences. I tried a lemon blueberry cake. It's about 6 bites, which is perfect for an after dinner sweet for me! The whole menu is calorie mindful offering all dishes below 595 calories. This is a great practice and was not noticeable at all, unless you read the menu carefully! Our family visits here a couple times a year and we will definitely return for more seasonal yums in the fall! Keep in mind parking is hard in this area. We typically expect to valet park for a few dollars plus tip!

I love the presentation of them and how you have 8 options for the little dessert cups of various flavor profiles.
