Some random night we were on Facebook and decided to book tickets to see Troy Ramey perform. Did we…read moreknow who that was? No. But we thiught why not. A. He is fabulous. Let's just say that. Since we were going to the show, why not go for dinner? I mean we have never been. Love that you can book reservations online. Super easy to get through the gate and it has amazing views. We were greeted by the host who was so kind. The place was super busy, I assume due to the show. So, we had to wait about 10 minutes. Table right in the middle of action... 1 min... 2 min... 7 minutes no greeting nothing and a woman walks by and says she will be right us. Cool. Thanks for letting us know. Walks past us 4 more times and nothing. The good thing is clearly someone else noticed and brought us water and said she was helping while the server got caught up. Okay. Everything will be OK. Whole ordering our drinks the server took over. Ordered drinks. App and 2 entrees. Then she was gone. 30 minutes after seating... nothing. Not even drinks yet. 32 minutes... she brings my husband's can of beer. No glass. No manhatten. She says they are working on mine. After 32 minutes (at least 20 minutes after ordering our drink)... can we have a glass? 5+ minutes later she brings me my manhattan... in a wine glass? Before I smell it I ask if its a manhattan because it looked like wine (damn good pour). Her response... I don't know. Never had one before. And still no glass. A. The Manhattan was fabulous and a ridiculously amazing pour. And for the cost... damn. Thats amazing. We decided she never rang in our drinks. Its the only thing that makes sense. It had really quieted down and the bartenders were working hard. And thats fine. But own it. Another 40 minutes and she stopped by once. Said our food was coming. But honestly haven't had a server who seemed to care less about her table in quite a while. Food came about 45 minutes after ordering. We ordered the Philly egg rolls... flavor was awesome. But they were cold. Clearly they had been sitting... for a while. Literally the cheese had melted onto each other and cooled. The entrees came at the same time. Smash burger and chicken fried chicken. Both honestly really good. The mashed potatoes were cold though... not sure if its because they werent kept warm in the prep station or if our plates just died waiting on server. Flavors were good though, including the gravy and fries. Good seasoning. We asked for ranch. Can you believe she never brought it? Nope us either. Seriously. The service was the worst we had in a while. It seemed exlusive to our table/server. I finally got her name at the end... Leandra. I am not trying to put her on blast everyone has a bad night. When my husband asked about the ranch. She said oh I forgot that too.. no apologies for that or the entire night. I said well it has been a rough night... she said yep. Here's the check. We are super nice... lots of grace... but this service made me almost want to not return. But... this is a small business trying to create something for our community. So im going to return oncs more and score is based on potential. But please owners.... staff is hard to come by, and maybe it was a rough night... but no one will survive if 30 minutes with not even drinks and cold food is acceptable. Its a beautiful space, flavorful food and great energy im very hopeful.

If you're in Rockwall and deciding where to go, The Downing makes it easy. It is truly a GEM…read more The cocktails are always on point--this time I tried the coconut mint margarita and it did not disappoint. They even have great mocktail options, which I love when you want the experience without the alcohol. The most unique one that I've tried is the Pho Ya - it's Pho inspired and actually delicious. Cocktails and the menu are seasonal so you always get surprises. My favorite food options are the Salmon Poke, Beef & Rice Bowl, and the mussels. What really sets this place apart is the people- starting with the owners. The servers actually remember you, the owners are intentional about creating a unique, welcoming space, and you can tell they genuinely care about the community and giving back. The whole team feels connected--you can see they truly enjoy working together. And the vibe? Cozy in the best way. The patio feels like you're hanging out at home, just with better drinks and food. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--and recommending to everyone.

Another year, another visit. This place never disappoints. It is always lively, welcoming, and…read morecomfortable. It's the perfect mix of casual and upscale, if that makes sense. The service for me is that of a Michelin star as well as the flavor profiles they can pack into their food. This will always be a must-visit, and the el jefe cubano is spot on! Best Cuban sandwich I've had in Texas. If you haven't been and you're local, you must come, and if you are just passing, it is a must-try.

Wow. So much wrong, mostly due to the server who clearly was not having his best night. Took our…read moreorder, repeated it back, and still got it wrong. And my biggest pet peeve: entrees AND appetizers came out at the SAME time. Other tables around us got their service in the right order, so... was it us? A table seated after us got their appetizers within 5-10 minutes. Then their mains. Just really shoddy service I'm sad to say. And whatever you do, do NOT order the Spinach Artichoke dip... so runny, watery... probably straight from the microwave. Absolutely inedible. But hey, the view overlooking the lake was nice! UPDATE: To be fair, they did comp us a desert to go, so there's that.

Went here with my friend, and was very impressed…read more You enter the lakeside community through a security gate. Very secluded feeling, & safe Food: I got the smash burger with fries, she got the fish tacos, that came with chips and salsa. Both were delicious! The meat on the burger could've used extra salt though lol Prices: $10-25. The burger had 2 patties on it, & it was $16, so well worth the price. You do get quite a bit of food for your buck, from what I noticed looking at other plates Ambiance: we sat on the patio, overlooking the lake. It was very nice, & relaxing. The bar inside had tables available, but it was pretty lively in there lol a group was playing music in the corner, & it was getting crowded by the time we left. A good spot to grab a drink apparently. The clubhouse was very nice though. Very clean, & relatively fancy feeling. Service: we had a great waitress, & food came out within 15 minutes Will definitely be going back

Pork belly roll was ok but for $18 put decent piece of pork belly on it! See pic, even the bigger pieces were tiny. Quality control and consistency would help the back of the house. If you're low on pork belly better not to serve it like that. I wouldn't order it again. The wedge salad and soup were outstanding. Crispy cauliflower is misnamed, not crispy and were served just about raw. I wouldn't order this again either. A bit pricy for an app, salad, side and a cup of soup, $53 plus tip $63 total. Dining room was attractive and clean. Service was pleasant and prompt.

Best thing here , hands down, is the pizza . Excellent; 2 nd is the salads, always fresh …read more Rest of the menu ?? I don't understand it. Fish and chips .. mediocre ... Tried the carne Asada ... overpriced and mediocre ... Burgers .. Ok .. fish tacos .. ok ... There's nothing here besides the pizza that gets you excited to go there ... and no one's ever asked me if I've been there or told me how good it is. There's just something missing here. Service is ok but there's a little bit of a snobbish vibe to the place ... casual.. but just not that welcoming . Never .. ever had a manager greet or ask if everything is good etc .., Always have to ask for salt and pepper ... why can't they leave it on the table ??? Change the menu !! Serve food that makes you wanna come back and tell Others !

We've lived in Rockwall for two years and finally decided to give Velvet Taco a try after my sister…read morerecommended it for years, and now I see why! My husband and I ordered the combo meal, which included two tacos, a drink, and a side of queso. I had the Fish & Chips taco... it was AMAZING. I worked at Captain D's for years, and they could definitely learn a few things from Velvet Taco. The fish was perfectly crunchy, the ingredients were fresh, and they even included actual crunchy potato chips. My husband ordered the salmon taco and said it was absolutely delicious. He enjoyed it so much that he went back and ordered a second taco, the Pork Al Pastor, and loved that one too! When he told Gustavo how great everything was, Gustavo said, "You can always leave us a review." I was already planning to! To top it all off, we celebrated my husband's birthday with a delicious slice of red velvet cake. By far one of the best places to get fresh, flavorful tacos in Rockwall. Great food, an amazing team, and a very clean restaurant. And don't forget to ask about the military discount!

It's Cinco de Mayo where else would we go?! What we had :…read moreCombo's - beef chimichuri, roasted chicken, chicken tikka, guacamole and queso. As Always-Absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served. The tacos were packed with great ingredients, but the real standout was the queso -- it was basically liquid gold. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of spice without being too much. So good we could have eaten it by itself! Definitely adding this to my regular order. The service was also excellent, friendly, attentive, and helpful. We really appreciated the recommendation to try the queso because it ended up being one of the best parts of the meal. I have many of the tacos and bowls and never been disappointed. Place is always clean, even the bathrooms. Great food, great service, and definitely a place worth coming back to over and over as we do!

Absolutely exceptional experience at Haywire in Plano! From the food to the atmosphere, everything…read morewas fantastic, but our waiter, Marcus, truly made the experience stand out. He was phenomenal! He had the perfect sense of humor, was witty and quick with a joke, and knew exactly how to keep the conversation going. He was also incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. His personality and service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which were delicious. For my main course, I ordered the steak and eggs from the brunch menu, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was exactly how I ordered it, and the eggs were great. we went upstairs to the third-floor rooftop to drink our dessert! I had the espresso martini, and it was fantastic. The rooftop has great views and is such a fun way to end the meal. Overall, Haywire exceeded expectations. Great food, great atmosphere, an awesome rooftop, and phenomenal service. Marcus deserves a special shoutout because he absolutely made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back!

Loved everything about this place…read more Except, sitting by the window on the 2nd floor. The reflection off the white wall was blinding. Y'all need blinds or something. I was unable to visit with those across from me because of the reflection. The food and the service were fantastic! I did have to ask for ketchup that did not have the additional strong, smoky flavor added to it. Can't figure out why y'all needed to change the taste of basic ketchup. The fries are freaking fantastic!! Our group was able to enjoy the cowgirl option!! The 5 ounce steak was amazing. The appetizers are fantastic! The cheese board, pork belly bites, and friend green tomatoes are delicious! The double cheeseburger is served with the best fries I've ever had. The drinks are really good! Lemon drop martini, old fashioned, Texas tea, and the $7 Happy Hour drinks are the best! This place is a busy place. We made reservations, however, I'm not sure if you have to have them to eat here.
