From the moment our group walked in until the time we left, the customer service was top-tier. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made the entire experience enjoyable. I ordered the Dallas Mornings breakfast--bacon, scrambled eggs, wheat toast, breakfast potatoes, a fresh salad, and their house ginger ale. It's a pretty standard breakfast, but everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. Being my first visit and with the restaurant located inside a hotel, I wasn't sure what to expect. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing atmosphere where you can catch up with friends while enjoying an excellent brunch, I highly recommend CBD Provisions. It's definitely a 10/10 and has earned a spot on my list of favorite brunch destinations in Dallas. (thejouledallas.com)

We spent the day touring hotels in Downtown and Uptown Dallas while selecting accommodations for…read moreour October wedding. Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.

Solid spot! Biscuit Bar does exactly what you'd hope--a cozy, satisfying place where biscuits and…read moregravy hit the spot every time. The gravy was rich without being too heavy, and the biscuits had that perfect soft-but-flaky texture. I also tried the chicken, and wow--really good flavor going on there. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and it paired super well with the biscuit base. Great flavor matching overall! Service was friendly and fast, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of those places you can't really go wrong with--comfort food done right. I'll be back when the biscuit cravings hit.

Dear Electric Shuffle,…read more This is my new most favorite place! From the bar to the tables, everyone here is super friendly and the vibe is great! Drinks are delish and I love the boards. I love a full size regulation shuffle board but the electric scoring and baby hockey stick for the puck return make up for the half table. I read the above sentence to my husband and he said it was more like a 2/3 table and I might be mad because I lost. Stop by and judge for yourself- it's pretty awesome!

We ordered all the types of fries- truffle, sweet potato, and regular. They were so delicious and perfectly cooked to a crisp. We also ordered the queso/pico/chips plate.

I would come back next time I have more time in town!

I hit the jackpot gem with Bucket and Rope. This place is just off the main areas in downtown near the Dallas Farmer's Market. The patrons are mostly locals who know what's up. The layout is spacious but welcoming. I sat at the bar as I was solo, but there were plenty of great seating options including comfortable couches. The patio is currently being re-done, but will be perfect for the upcoming fall season. The menu offerings were plentiful and varied, but there are specials and rotating options as well. Alexa at the bar greeted me, and went over the menu and specials with me. She did a great job making my cocktails and giving casual conversation throughout. I ordered the off-menu Steak Frites with broccolini and fries. The steak was charred perfectly on the outside and moist and at the lovely medium temp on the inside. The broccolini was on point with just a bit of spice from the red pepper. Fries were shoestring style, and they did it right with that perfect crisp on the outside and soft inside. I learned that Thursdays are paella night! What a great surprise in downtown Dallas! When in the city again, this will absolutely be my go to place for cocktails and great food.

Reviews were mixed but took a chance because the pics and menu looked good and we were not disappointed. It was 5:30pm on a Friday and we were the only table in there the entire time which was strange. Wonder if this is a hidden gem? It's unassuming from the outside. Food, drinks, and service were great! We had the fried mozzarella, guacamole, ribeye, Shepard's pie and the grilled chicken. Chicken was the only thing suspect. It had a strange texture. I asked if they could make me a cocktail with cucumber and the server came back with the best drink! Definitely recommend checking it out even if it's to grab a drink at the bar.
