The good: the friendly servers, the view from the patio. The bad: the pancakes, the crowded parking…read morelot. The ugly: the speed of the service. I don't mind a slow pace at a crowded restaurant, but the slow speed here is very, very slow. After waiting 10 minutes for a server to come to our table, I went up to the hostess stand and asked her to check if we had been assigned a server. The table next to us wasn't as patient - they got up and left after waiting for at least ten minutes, if not fifteen, for someone, anyone, to come and acknowledge their presence. This was our second time there, and it was just as slow as it was about two year's ago. My advice: go there if you want to sit and eat with a nice view of the Trinity River and you have no place to be for a good 60-90 minutes. Otherwise, go elsewhere for coffee or breakfast/lunch where the pace of the service is reasonable and realistic.

Winslow's Wine Bar is one of those places I really want to love but it just hasn't quite gotten…read morethere for me yet. The space is great. It's got that cozy, neighborhood wine bar vibe you're hoping for dim lighting, a solid date-night feel. You walk in thinking, "this could be a regular spot." But then things land a little... mid. The wine selection is decent, but nothing that really stands out or feels curated in a memorable way. Same with the food, good enough, nothing terrible, but not something I've thought about going back for. It all just kind of blends together. For a place that leans heavily on the wine bar identity, I expected a bit more personality or a standout dish or pairing. Service was fine no major issues but not especially warm or engaging either. Overall, it's not a bad spot. it's just missing that "hook".

My friends and I met at Winslows for HH. Very disappointing. I ordered the Margherita Pizza and…read moreit was just bad! Honestly, worse than a frozen one. No flavor, rubbery. I ate one slice because I was so hungry. I informed our server. She took it away and she also charged me full price. Wow. I know when a restaurant wants business. Don't think Winslow's does.

Mac n' cheese was cheesy and perfectly seasoned. The banana bacon waffle was my favorite item ordered. Bananas were perfectly caramelized and the bacon was mixed into the waffle batter which made it the perfect combo of sweet and slightly savory. I would skip the s'mores matte if you like a stronger coffee taste. It tasted more like chocolate milk to me. Everyone was super friendly from the moment we walked in and food came out QUICK! Service was a 10/10. The vibe in here was bright and fun. Will definitely be coming back again.

Brewed is a wonderful place- great seating, family friendly gatherings and great vibes. However I…read moredon't really sense the place to be anything beyond average in terms of food and comfort. I've been here once before, and I forgot that the reason why I didn't come back here for a couple years was because I wasn't fond of their menu options. Their menu isn't the biggest or the greatest I've seen. They have waffles, sandwiches and drinks but I ended up going for their smoked Mac and cheese bowl with bacon, aka the safe option. It's delicious but nothing beyond the ordinary flavor or noticeable for me to actively come back. It was busy hours so I left feeling overstimulated by how loud it gets inside. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Overall, an average experience. If I'm looking for good brunch or even pastries to eat with my coffee, I'll head somewhere else.

There's parking across the street in the UNT parking lot. We ordered an appetizer, the garlic bread. $7 for a 10 inch half section of a baget. For our Entrees we ordered the Buffalo Meatballs and the Smoked Chicken Alfredo, and we added Asparagus as our main side Stay away from the Buffalo, the sauce was dark, heavy and tart with hot peppers. The meatballs were ok, you can barely tell they were buffalo. As for the smoked chicken Alfredo, it was decent , wish I had ordered that ... Our server was Magnolia, The service was ok at best. The multiple strikes started early, when taking drink orders, we asked for tea, and Magnolia asked my wife if she wanted any sugar but didn't ask me. Seems she would take the first answer and assumed the table was in agreement. The next strike was attention to details like asking for more tea. Magnolia had only one table and I had to ask another server for a refill. Another example was taking our order, we asked for asparagus , but she placed Risotto instead, she corrected it, but the lack of attention to detail was evident... While the ambiance was wonderful, the food was 50/50, the add the mediocre service, it was less than an ok experience. For the two of us and a 20% tip the total came to $90 Would I go back, and would I recommend this place.? No not at all

Gorgeous cafe located in the Modern Art Museum. Admittedly, I did not know this cafe existed so I…read morewas thrilled to find that it was a part of the museum. Perfect for a family or solo outing, date day/night, or any occasion really. Such a nice way to unwind and grab a bite to eat after art gazing and the layout and decor of the cafe is so nice, you'll forget you're at the museum! Sat at the bar and was served by Humberto. He was kind, attentive and efficient. While preparing my glass of wine, another patron began to cough near the direction of my glass. Humberto quietly changed out my glass before pouring my wine; something that may seem small but truly meant a lot to me. He also made a fantastic espresso martini (sub tequila for vodka). Also ordered a side of focaccia to nibble on and that was great. Can't wait to come back for a full lunch or dinner experience.

Amazing View, Nice Atmosphere…read more The view at Café Modern is incredible! We got lucky and were able to sit close to the glass, with a beautiful view of the museum and the reflecting pool. The setting is definitely the highlight for me. My only disappointment was that I had pretty high expectations after seeing the pictures online. Some of the menu items had changed, and there weren't as many food choices as I expected. The cocktail and wine menus seemed to have much more variety than the food menu. The food was alright, but unfortunately it wasn't a "wow" experience for me. I would say the view is better than the food. That said, our server was very nice and the service was good. The value felt fair considering the beautiful setting and overall experience. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the architecture. I would come back mainly for the view and the experience, especially if you can get a table by the glass.

Service was freindly and attentive. It's in a business building, so you'll need to take the elevator to arrive at the restaurant. It's quaint, but our reservation was at 11 and it didn't seem packed. We all ordered the same plate, which was the Blueberry Waffle Ham Sandwich for $22, served with a side salad. This entire meal alone was a 5-star meal. Packed with ham and had the perfect durability, so I was happy it wasn't falling apart. Very filling, I was able to save half my sandwich for a later time. My cocktail was called the People's Princess Grey Goose Berry Rouge: Vodka, Lavender Sour, Sparkling Wine for $15. The drink was so refreshing; I had a second one, and it was blissful. The view waa stunning so as we went to the outdoor patio we took advantage and had a little photoshoot! It was a peaceful Brunch place and I highly reccomed!

We arrived around 4:00 PM, and one corner of the patio was pretty bright with the afternoon sun, so I'd recommend requesting a seat closer to the building if you'd prefer some shade. We ended up staying here 4 hours! We tried both the outdoor and indoor seating, and both had a great atmosphere. The service was spectacular from start to finish. I ordered the espresso martini, which was delicious, and we started with the meat and cheese board that was fantastic. I also had one of the chicken bowls (I can't remember the exact name), and everything we ordered was excellent. One thing to note: finding the entrance can be a little tricky if it's your first visit. You enter through the bottom of the Frost Building and take the elevator up to the 12th floor. We got a little lost, but after one quick phone call, someone was downstairs helping us within seconds. Beautiful views, amazing food and drinks, outstanding service, and genuinely helpful staff. Highly recommend checking out Branch & Bird if you're in Fort Worth!

Our favorite Italian restaurant!…read more This is one of our go to places in Fort Worth and we are working our way through the menu. It's a smaller restaurant but popular for date night or friends and there is a reservation option if needed. Service is excellent and you notice repeat customers based on conversations. Their house salad and garlic bread are the best and not typical! We've so far tried and recommend Stracciatella soup, garlic bread, meatballs, Foccacia Mozzarella, Chicken Cacciatore, Tortellini Aventino's, Tortellini Rosa, ziti pesto - add chicken!, Chicken Cannelloni and the lasagna. The dinner salad with grilled chicken is also delicious. The cheesecake is our dessert of choice but the Cappuccino Ice Cream Pie is popular. They do have an espresso martini, full bar and wine list.

The meatballs were pretty decent, but the carrots inside them were odd. But that wasn't even the worst part about our experience. For dinner we ordered the ravioli carciofi and chicken parmigiana. It took 45 minutes for our food to come out, not to mention we ordered before a table of 4, and their food came out before ours. The restaurant was not busy enough to take 45 minutes for our food to come out. When our food eventually came out, the ravioli tasted like it was straight out of a frozen package from Walmart, and my chicken tasted like it was overcooked in oil, not worth the $8 up-charge. The chicken parmigiana tasted chewy, the sauce was bland/watery and the noodles tasted like they were store bought. For $64, I would expect better. The service was mediocre at best. Our waitress didn't even introduce herself. Never asked how we were doing or how our food was. We had to flag her down and ask her where our food was after waiting for so long. She would have not told us when our food was coming if we did not ask! I really had high hopes for this place and wish the food and service were better. Would not recommend or will not be coming back!
