I lucked out and found this place; came there on a Monday night and it wasn't busy at all. Their smoking area was small, but laid out extremely well with leather chairs and a large TV screen. The humidor was also rather small, and several of the cigars were pricier than I've seen. Where this place takes the cake is the ambiance, service and whiskey selection. My hostess, Mary, was extremely attentive and provided good recommendations on the food and beverages. And regarding the whiskey - their selection was massive. Mary recommended a Texas bourban (Unbendt BiB) that was delicious. It was so good that I brought a bottle back to Chicago. Highly recommend this place for a cigar smoker looking for a good meal + cigar in a quiet/intimate environment.

My wife and I came here for a birthday dinner after reading about how Elaine's was listed in the…read moreTop 10 restaurants in Frisco. (Plus several recommendations from friends.) We had reservations but there was no major crowd at 5:30. The place is contemporary, white tiles, brass finishes. Fully stocked bar. Nice big windows. Started with a Rail District cocktail that was really good. Finished with a Last Word which had a strong licorice flavor (not my fav) but the cherry at the bottom was great! We split the SPREADABLE WHIPPED LEMON BASIL GOAT CHEESE. Loved this. But note to the Chef or food prep - the toast crackers had so many holes in the bread, there was NO surface for the spreadable. Pieces of toast were basically outer crust and the inner area of bread had 90% giant holes. It was comical. Whoever plated this should have been more selective. My wife had the Salmon and I had the steak. The steak had a large pad of delicious blue cheese and butter on top of it, that slowly melted over the steak and potatoes. That was special. Endive salad was pretty dry, very little dressing. So I mixed it in with the potatoes and cheese/butter.

We started with the buffalo deviled eggs, which were honestly a standout--creamy with just the right amount of kick and a fun twist on a classic. I also ordered a salad that had candied pecans, apples, and grapes, topped with chicken that was cooked absolutely perfectly--so tender and flavorful. It's one of those dishes that feels light but still really satisfying. The ambience is what really makes this place special. It's super cute and thoughtfully designed--fun wallpaper, cozy green sofas, and really stylish light fixtures that give it a warm, inviting vibe. You can tell a lot of intention went into the space. We had the chance to meet the owner, Amy, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming--it's always a good sign when the owner is that engaged. Our server was also fantastic--very attentive, kind, and made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Location-wise, it's just off Main Street, kind of tucked away to the side, which makes it feel like a hidden gem. There's a great view, plus both indoor and outdoor seating, and the water tower right there adds a really charming touch. Since it's newly opened, I'm really hoping they do well--this place deserves it. I also heard they'll be expanding into the suite next door, which is exciting. I took a peek at their dinner and brunch menus, and I'll definitely be back to check those out soon. Such a cute spot with great food, great people, and a great vibe.

They were not busy at all, however we sat there for 15 to 20 minutes while the server leaned on the end of the bar chatting with the bartender and looking at her phone. We never even got water. It wasn't until we got up to leave the restaurant that the server came walking after us, but by then it was too late and we left Very disappointed as we were looking forward to trying this restaurant.

My husband and I stopped by on a weekday around 4:30 pm for happy hour before dinner elsewhere, and luckily, we were able to snag a seat on the patio. All the seating at the bar was already taken at this point. We ordered the dynamite shrimp, some oysters, the cheeseburger, and some drinks. I usually start with the bleu & gold martini (or two). My husband tried the stone fruit martini, but they put a super sour sugar rim on his, which made it EXTREMELY hard to drink. I've ordered this at the Addison location before and never had this rim, so I'm not sure if it is typical at the Frisco location or if it was just when we went. The food was all great- the dynamite shrimp was good, but nothing spectacular. Some of the batter ended up being soggy and a few shrimp pieces were rather small. The cheeseburger was amazing, as always! Overall, the food and service were great, and we will definitely be back again!

It is a very cute restaurant and the ambiance is very calm. Chicken parm: This dish was alright. There is a lot of cheese on the dish which can be overpowering. The marinara sauce is very light which I enjoy. They were out of pasta so I did not get the full experience with this dish. Moreover, I still had to pay full price even though half my dish was missing. Burger: The burger is great! It is extremely juicy and I loved the thousand island dressing on it. It is a great portion and tons of flavor. I loved getting truffle fries on the side with this burger! It came with a huge seasoned pickle on the side which was too sour for me. I also liked the trio dipping sauces, which included ranch, ketchup, honey mustard. Honey mustard was the best with the fries!

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to some initial confusion. When we sat down, the bartender mentioned that happy hour was only Monday through Thursday, even though the menu clearly states Monday to Friday. Thankfully, our waitress was more knowledgeable and confirmed it's indeed Monday to Friday. We ordered a Blue Moon, a frozen margarita with Tajín, and the appetizer platter--which included boneless wings with Boom Boom sauce, cheese bites, fries, and onion rings. The wings and onion rings were excellent, and the cheese bites were good while warm. The fries, however, seemed like they may have been refried. We also tried the Mirchi Madness Paneer, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great experience. I'd definitely recommend this spot--even just to hang out.

A large table in the middle of the bar was filled with children sitting on their iPhones while waiting for a private party to finish in another room. Meanwhile, paying adult customers who had come in to have drinks had nowhere to sit. What was frustrating was that the staff allowed the group to occupy one of the main tables in the bar instead of asking them to wait in the private room where their party was being held. The bar was busy and several groups of adults were left standing while a table of kids took up prime seating. It felt poorly managed and honestly a bit strange to walk into a bar late on a Saturday night and see a table of children taking up space while adult guests were trying to find somewhere to sit. Would not recommend.

Pasta was very simple, not much sauce or flavor. This might be more classic, but i ended up just eating the chicken. The lamb pasta was interesting -- I could taste cinnamon or cardamom or cloves or some spices in the lamb that reminded me of Indian spices. It was different but didn't hit the craving for a classic meat sauce. Salmon was delicious but it was seriously such a skimpy serving of potatoes and veggies for the dish. Not a $27 value, in my opinion, but hey, everything is insanely expensive right now. The tiramisu was the star of the show -- so moist and fresh!! Next time i come here, i will prioritize drinks, apps and dessert. Those were really my favorite part of this meal. Maybe i just haven't found my favorite dish.
