    I stayed at Epic Central and knew how popular it was. So glad I decided to make a reservation in advance. I got my wish and was seated outside right in front of the light show. The restaurant was not crowded but it was such a nice night weather wise. Stephanie was my waitress and she did a good job. Recommended several entrees and apps. I decided to try potstickers and fish and grits. Omg so good. The potstickers were very good with the super spicy wasabi sauce, it was so zesty it takes your breath away but totally made the dish. The catfish and grits were very tasty too. Good portion size, I couldn't finish. The grits were pimento cheese grits which gave it a great flavor. The light show was a bonus, I enjoyed my food and wine and had such a lovely time.

    Short rib

    Went during happy hour and got the volcanic shrimp, the short rib, and a couple drinks. Our waiter was great and friendly enough to interact with. I enjoyed my food. Good share of shrimp and the short rib was super filling! Get the derby dash to drink if you like whiskey! My friend got the adult happy meal. It came with a traditional martini that was STRONG, you can't modify. But she liked the slider and salad. It was is a pretty location right next to the water show.

    For a Thanksgiving gathering we opted to skip all the cooking and clean up and we decided to try the Finch and their Thanksgiving menu This is a trendy establishment. The decor, fixtures, location, etc are all appealing and somewhat swanky. There are delicious looking entrees and drinks to choose from, but again we came for the Thanksgiving meal which was hearty and delicious. We each received a large plate with most of the typical Thanksgiving staples (or at least a twist on those classics). We also got a choice of salad or French onion soup as a starter and cheesecake or bread pudding for dessert I would say the menu and the restaurant itself are slightly upscale, but I don't feel like the staff were overly upscale. I feel like many of the patrons were far dressier than the servers. The servers and management didn't seem overly refined. We had a reservation and we ended up waiting 10-15 minute for a table. There were plenty of tables available, and someone in our party used a cane, but they would only seat us at a high top that wasn't ideal. Also, at different times we could overhear the conversations of staff, and they were often complaints or things they probably didn't want us to hear I would try this restaurants regular menu again, and maybe the service issues were one-offs... that and it was the holidays, and I feel for staff who have to work during the holidays Some tips: There is a neat water fountain feature outside the restaurant in a common/park area that has dancing streams and is a great place to stroll or take a break and enjoy nice weather There is also plenty of parking out front Cheers!!

    Special shout out to Vinceeeee! He's a manager I met. He went out of his way to make sure to introduce himself. He collaborated with the team he spoke to several customers. He was extremely engaging and I'm not sure how long he's been here, but when I tell you, I remembered his name and he approached me a second time because of the impact I could see that he was making on the environment that made my visit all the well worth it. The food is great. I'll show pictures of that. I ordered the steak and eggs. I had two flights of the martini options which I also loved if I were to suggest a martini here I would say first would be the lemon drop and then a dirty martini. The view here is spectacular. You've got a water show that's going on intermittently while you dine at night. I hear it's even more gorgeous because they have lights going. I'm here during the daytime so you can't see that reflecting, but just the background activity of it creates a really nice ambience. I chose bar seating, but the entire establishment seems really clean. I would sit anywhere here especially the patio area if you're interested in seeing the water show. I'm so glad I stopped in. It took me a while to get here because it's been on my to-do list but if it's on yours, please put it to the top so that you can visit. Extremely happy with everything I chose. I can't wait to visit again. Again, I wanna shout out the manager I was able to meet because great customer service and teamwork starts at the top. I can tell that this is a well managed group. Xoxo.

    The server was definitely entertaining lol. We visited this location on the night where there wasn't an event outside with a DJ. Maybe it was a night market. The bar tender made our second drinks incorrect stating that a different person made the first one but that was all sorted out . Both pasta dishes were good and the chocolate cake was a great choice for dessert We didn't care for the pot stickers. The sauce on the top should've been on the side but it'll clear up a sinus infection. The shrimp was ok.

    Martini Flight
    Carmen G.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant and the view is amazing for indoor and outdoor seating. The Shrimp and grits were a specialty off menu and the shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly and the sauce with the grits was irresistible! Service was fast and I was there with a party group and we were well taken care off. The Martini flight is good for those who want to try multiple drinks but the Appletini was the best of the 3 I chose.

    Light show with dinner
    Karen J.

    Came out here for dinner and got to see a nice light show set to music. The dinner was nice. I didn't have an entree opting for a wedge salad and meatballs appetizer. Another guest had the blackened catfish and grits. All was good the catfish and grits were very tasty. My salad had a bit of mush dressing, thought it fresh tasting. The meatballs were delicious. Our server, whose name escapes me, was attentive and got the orders correct. I wish I could remember her name to give her a proper shout out. The meal coupled with the service and light show means I ma coming back.

    Nice place. Saw a lot of what looked liked 'girlfriend day' outings (like a girls night but it was earlier in the day). We were with another couple. Food was good. Appetizers-We had the volcano shrimp, they had meatballs. We shared. The shrimp were good the meatballs were ok. Main entrees - we had steak frites (ok), blackened catfish with grits (good) and honey sriracha salmon (ok). We each had one drink. Service was good. Every one was pretty friendly/helpful - some more than others. We each spent about $120+ on our separate bills. I would go back but wouldn't necessarily make a special trip. Nothing bad, just nothing special either.

    What a pleasant discovery, though the parking is a bit confusing. You're basically parking in the lot for the hotel, which looks like you need to pay for it, but the restaurant assured us we didn't and we weren't towed away, so hey I guess they were right. This is one of those meals where we just ordered a bunch of stuff and did it family style, and I'm not kidding: every single thing we ordered was fantastic. From the steak to the potstickers, it was all a hit. I look forward to my next visit. The highlight was our server, I wish I had written down the young man's name, but you could tell he deeply cared about both the restaurant and our individual experiences.

    Had a Great experience! The drinks were made well and appetizers/side were good. The ambiance was beautiful and chilled. Our server did great in recommending the drinks ( martini flight, finch espresso martini, and Paloma)

    Had a great time for my friends birthday dinner. The staff were all super nice, the service was quick and accurate. The drinks and food were both so good and overall the atmosphere was great. The parking was a little hectic- most of us had to park in the parking garage at the far end and walk but overall it was great !

    Steak & Eggs

    I am big on customer service and this placed delivered. I know we stayed too long because we were in deep conversation and management was cool about it. I also liked our waiter. Having cute conversations with the staff as well made the experience wonderful as well. Now, I am a Texan so the portions are small. However, they are good. I mean really good. I had the Blackened Red Fish Taco and I think the Tacos should be four instead of two. I would pay for it. It was seasoned to perfection. We had the Volcano Shrimp and Potstickers for an appetizer. I didn't even need the sauce for the Potstickers. That is how good it was. Although small the Martini is strong. It will give you a slight buzz not a lot but just a slight one. Between the awesome service and the food's taste I would most definitely go back. It is well worth it even in the portions aren't Texas size. Which I probably don't need.

    Great menu
    Chuck M.

    It was our 35th wedding anniversary and we wanted to do something different. We decided we'd head out to "The Epic" in Grand Prairie to have dinner and then watch the fountain show in the Lagoon. After learning how popular the restaurants are at "The Epic" I did make reservations beforehand. I am glad I did. When we arrived, the restaurant was hopping and packed, even on a Monday evening. Right off the bat I noticed "The Finch" is not a romantic type of restaurant. We soon learned it's VERY noisy and hard to carry on a conversation even across the table. The restaurant's decor is very stunning and was well thought out in the design. I just wished they'd thought about the sound factor. As I mentioned I had made reservations. We didn't have to wait in the queue that had formed. Again, I was amazed the restaurant was SO busy on a Monday evening. After being seated by a very elegant hostess we met Alissa, our server for the evening. She asked if this was the first time we'd dined with them and if we'd like any recommendations. My wife decided all she wanted was a Coors Light. I'm an "Old Fashion" lover and ordered their "Brown Sugar Old Fashion" comprised of Bullet Bourbon, brown sugar reduction, aromatic bitters, pretty standard for an Old Fashion. Our table had a beautiful view of the lagoon and the dancing fountain. We chatted a bit while we took a look at the menu. My wife decided on the Buffalo Fried Chicken Cobb Salad. It was made up of buttermilk fried chicken, chopped romaine, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced egg, smoked cheddar, red onion, applewood bacon, avocado, with jalapeño ranch dressing. Looking at the description, she was already smiling! I decided on the New York Strip Steak Frites, rare. It sounded SO good. The platted comprised of Allen Brothers' Certified Black Angus, famous Entrecôte sauce and battered fries. I had to lookup what Entrecôte sauce is. It is a rich and creamy steak sauce, traditionally served with entrecôte (or rib eye) steak, often in French bistros. It's known for its distinctive green color and flavors, featuring a blend of herbs, anchovies, mustard, and lemon juice. The sauce is a classic pairing for steak frites, a popular French dish. It sounded GREAT! I also ordered a side salad with their Buttermilk Bleu Cheese Dressing. One of the kitchen food expeditors showed up with my side salad. It was massive and piled high in the bowl. Awesome dressing and a great salad, albeit a bit messy to eat. Everything kept falling out of the bowl. After a short period, Alissa, our server stopped by to give us an update that our entrees were almost ready. One of the managers also stopped by our table for a visit and welcome us to "The Finch." He asked how everything was and if our server was taking care of us. We said all is well. One thing that stood out was the professionalism of the staff and management. Shortly, Alissa delivered our entrees to our table. What a beautiful presentation! My wife loved her salad. The Buffalo Chicken was hot and spicy just like she liked it. My New York Strip Steak was cooked to a perfect rare. The Entrecôte sauce was a perfect pairing to the steak and fries. Both of our entrees were SO delicious. We weren't planning on dessert, but Alissa came by with the menu letting us know that we get a complimentary piece of New York Style Cheesecake topped with strawberries since it was our anniversary. But when we looked at the menu and saw the Madagascar Vanilla Crème Brûlée, we couldn't turn it down as well. My wife ordered an Irish Coffee, and I ordered an Expresso Martini to enjoy with our desserts. Both of our dessert cocktails were very delicious and beautiful to behold. The cheesecake was smooth and silky, but the star was the Madagascar Vanilla Crème Brûlée. It was one of the best Brûlées we've ever tasted. Thank you to the wonderful staff and management for making our anniversary dinner very memorable. We'll be back again sometime soon.

    They do yes, service animals are allowed anywhere in the restaurant and you can bring your cutie pups to sit on the patio!! They even have cute dog bowls for water.

    Do they offer gluten free options?

    I really don't think so because when I went there I never saw any thing labeled as gluten free.

DFW is massive. My friend was 30 mins late, but I wasn't trippin. I used that time to charge my phone and get a little work done. We didn't have a resy, but were seated right away. First of all, this place is massive. We both started with the espresso martini before realizing they had a happy hour menu. Our second drink was from the hh menu even though we had no business having a second cocktail. To start, we shared the fried green tomatoes. For whatever reason, we both ended up getting the western burger. Food was great. There was so much of it that I was only able to finish half and ended up taking the rest home. Great service as well. The place was crowded by the time we left. We only planned to stay for 45 minutes, but ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. Big thanks to the bartender.

Clearly a popular spot. We shared an appetizer, a steak, sides, and a dessert between us 3. - Fried Tomatoes (appetizer): not bad! Light, not greasy at all, and that savory sauce on top was yummy: - Wagyu Tomahawk: the star of the show. Loved the peppered crust which was full of flavor. Not a true "Japanese wagyu" texture, but still an excellent steak overall. - Sides (mashed potatoes, fries, broccolini, cornbread): All pretty good across the board. I liked the cornbread the most and wished there was more of it. Usually a side of cornbread is much more substantial and comes with honey butter. - Steak sauce: we ask for a side of this. Whatever they had was unique and great. Fruity and tangy, a great complement to the tomahawk. - Pecan Pie: look at the photo! A huge, tall slice. No notes. Loved the dense ice cream on top. Perfect way to end the meal. Overall: no critiques, just an all-around great dinner. Definitely recommend the tomahawk and pie.

    Date night here for the evening and we kept it light. We enjoy coming here as it was our first date…read morenight in the beginning and stopping in is sort of nostalgic. I decided to enjoy the Korean bibimbap and what a treat! It comes as a bowl with rice, shaved beef and a handful of various veggies. It has a slight kick of heat that blends well with the salty veggies. I was able to get most of this dish down as it's so flavorful. I wanted to try dessert but was too stuffed from my entree. Maybe next time. There's always plenty of seating and parking here. If you're into sports the bar area is also well equipped with TVs and more. Lastly I wanna mention our wonderful waitress Sarah. She is always so kind and gives great recommendations on menu items. Can't wait to return!!!

    Each time I go to Lazy Dog, and I've been to them in many states, I am pleasantly happy with what I…read moreorder. Server was attentive and ready to serve. Every time I go to Lazy Dog I order Hush Puppies for appetizers. It includes 4 puppies and dipping sauce, which has a perfect type of bite. I ordered a burger with a brioche, always a good choice, fries. The brioche had Lace Dog's special sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and Gouda cheese. Lazy Dog is always low lightened, which makes it hard to see your food or companion across. It does have a date night vibe writing all over it. In my opinion, too dark. I could barely see my food.
