This is definitely a place. I'd come back. The food was well done. Our server was great. The Chef circulating the front room was nice as I got to speak with him. I was a little taken back by the Stern request for my nearly empty Pellegrino water can as we were being seated. But thank goodness, the server came quickly and brought us water. The menu had lots of options and it was truly hard to pick. I had a cocktail which was well crafted with frozen grapes. We ordered two salads and a prime rib sandwich. To snack on we ordered some french fries. That was the only part that was not good. They were cooked in beef tallow, which is not an issue. It's actually better than any other oil. But, the type of beef tallow that they're using left an unusual aftertaste. We did tell our server and he brought the second batch, but they still had the odd flavor. We did salt the fries prior to eating. But everything else was delicious. Beautiful club feel and well appointed to Fit the surrounding luxury mall read more

Was in from out of town and dropped in here last minute with two friends. We sat inside initially at the bar and then were seated at a formal table. Great drinks atmosphere. Drinks were excellent. The house Chris Martini is very good and not too many other places make it like this. The other drinks were just generally OK. We ordered the following which were all pretty good: ding's chicken sandwich, roast beef/prime, rib sandwich, the ribs, the deviled eggs, chips and guac, stuffed jalapeños, and smoked trout dip. Place wrapped up pretty early at around 10 o'clock on a Monday read more

Honor Bar has a few hits, but it's definitely overhyped! My friend and I made a reservation for dinner on a Saturday. Service was very friendly, but food took forever to arrive. Our full meal took over two hours, which was too long for some sides and salads! Drink: The Crush - was super watered down and could barely taste the grape flavor. Disappointing. Apps: Burrata Toast and Chilled Jalapeños: The toast was tasty, but nothing special. Warning -- the jalapeños were very very spicy! Avoid if you're sensitive to spice! Main: Macho Salad with Fries - The salad was phenomenal! The description doesn't do it justice. The cornbread croutons put it over the top. The fries were also perfectly thin and I loved the spicy mayo. I'd come back just for these two items! I heard great things about their previous vegetarian options that they no longer serve. They should definitely add more veg options to their menu! read more

The waitress told me that I couldn't feed my baby. Yup that's right. My infant, 9 month old. It was 105 degrees & my baby was extremely hot. So my sister and I decided to come here for a drink and appetizers. I pulled out a small container to feed my hungry baby and the waitress told me I wasn't allowed. To my surprise, when I asked for the manager, she told me the same thing & if we continued to feed my baby, they would ask us to leave. To deny food to a baby is such a malicious & immoral thing to do. I will find the will power to forgive these women but I just hope they become better human beings. The drinks were good! read more

I have always enjoyed my dining experiences at any of the Hillstone Restaurant Group establishments. The Honor Bar in Highland Park Village in Dallas is as exceptional compared to my previous superb Hillstone experiences in California. Over the last several years, I make it a point to have a meal here when I'm in the Dallas area. The interior is quaint, cozy, warm, and inviting as the front of the house staff. I typically have their Crab Cake Salad, which is amazing. Interactions with their wait staff have all been filled with cheer and warmth. They do get quite busy, so reservations would be helpful. read more

With how much hype Honor Bar gets on social media and the long wait to get a table for lunch (30-45mins), I was expecting something amazing... it didn't live up to the hype. The best I tasted from the things we ordered was the Crab Cake Salad. The crab meat was really good. It's like they took crab legs, shredded it up, and served it to you. Lots of flavors. The next best item was the Chilled Jumbo Shrimp. These things are HUGE! If you're a fan of shrimp cocktails, you will like this. The other two items: Ahi Tuna Tartare and Burrata on Toast was average, if that. The Ahi Tuna dish did not impress me at all. I can go to a local poke place and get the same tuna chunks for half the price. Also, there's too much olive oil on the avocado. I simply did not like the Burrata dish... too much cheese, oil, and butter... just too much. All of the grease ends up getting stuck in your throat and it ruins the rest of the meal. I didn't run into any of the service issues that some of the other reviews stated. The worst that I experienced was they didn't refill my water until I asked for it. read more

Extremely rude and unprofessional - rules change based on hostess or whomever is at front. Stopped by on Sunday for late lunch and had no problems . Came by today after shopping in highland village and the lady at the front did not seat us because we were in sweatsuits. Weirdly, on Sunday , sweatsuits and leggings were fine. She then proceeded to tell us we can 'look at their website' and that 'she wasn't there on Sunday' . Again very weird customer service toward potential patrons . Won't be earning our business ever again ! read more

The Honor Bar in Dallas is such a gem ... dim, cozy lighting, great vibes, and the friendliest locals. It's the perfect little escape for happy hour or drinks with your bestie. My standout? The French 75 (it's my fave) crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. If you're looking for a cute, elevated spot to unwind, this place is definitely worth a stop. Can't wait to go back! read more

The Honor Bar - French 75s + cozy vibes at The Honor Bar - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Let me start with this: I have eaten in restaurants across states, across coasts, across continents. I've reviewed everything from hole-in-the-wall gems to Michelin hopefuls. But nothing, and I mean nothing, has ever earned the level of consistent, soul-warming excellence that The Honor Bar in Highland Park Village delivers. This place doesn't miss. It doesn't know how. And the magic begins the second you step through the door. THE FRONT OF HOUSE DREAM TEAM: SUSAN & JANESSA Susan and Janessa are the unofficial mayors of Highland Park Village. These two could run a country. They're the reason the restaurant hums with that perfect balance of energy and ease. They greet you with warmth so genuine that you immediately forget every bad text you've ever received and suddenly remember that yes... life is good. They set the tone. They set the vibe. And that vibe is immaculate. I keep coming back because these two make Honor Bar feel like home. CHEF KAYLA: THE CULINARY COMMANDER Chef Kayla is easily one of the most impressive chefs in Dallas. Not just because the food is outstanding (more on that in a second), but because she leads from the front. This woman will literally hand-deliver dishes from the kitchen. Not for show. Not for praise. Because she cares. Because she's proud of what her team creates. Because hospitality is in her DNA. The attention to detail... the passion... the commitment... the artistry... Michelin, if you're listening: Dallas has your next rising star. THE SNOW GLOBE EFFECT Right now, Highland Park Village is dressed in full Christmas magic. Walking into The Honor Bar feels like stepping into a snow globe that's been curated by Santa's most fashionable cousin. Sparkling lights, festive charm, and cozy holiday energy everywhere. It's perfect. THE SERVICE ALL-STARS: VINCENT, QUAN, LEONA & LILY A standing ovation for this entire squad. Vincent is charisma personified. Warm, personable, uplifting. The man has an infectious smile and, by the way, is newly married, congratulations to him and his wife! Quan is hysterical in all the right ways. I've genuinely never seen someone light up an entire table with laughter so effortlessly. The comedic timing is elite. A world-class mood elevator. If serotonin could clock in and start a shift, it would look exactly like Quan walking up to your table. A true talent in the ancient art of making humans feel good. Leona is attentive, warm, sweet, and one of the most genuinely kind humans you'll meet in hospitality. She radiates positivity and poise. The kind of presence that instantly softens your shoulders and makes you feel taken care of. Her energy is gentle but powerful, and her attention to detail is the grace hospitality dreams of. Lily waited on us last weekend when we brought two new Highland Park neighbors who had just relocated from San Francisco. These are sophisticated people, well-traveled, used to exceptional service. Lily blew them away. She blew all of us away. Glasses full at all times. Drinks anticipated before we even had the chance to crave them. Poised, kind, effortless. It's rare to witness someone so dialed in and so naturally gifted at hospitality. We genuinely spent half the night talking about how phenomenal she is at her job. THE FOOD. MY GOODNESS, THE FOOD. Our go-to lineup, the Mount Rushmore of Honor Bar greatness: - Emerald Kale Salad with Rotisserie Chicken: healthy, flavorful, addicting - Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich: crispy, juicy, elite - French Fries with Spicy Mayo: I would petition the United Nations to protect this combo - Rotisserie Chicken Plate: comfort food at its finest - Crab Cake Salad: somehow luxurious and refreshing at the same time Honorable mentions aka the "don't even think, just order it" items: - Guacamole: easily top 3 in Dallas - Deviled Eggs: the sleeper hit that turns everyone into a believer The drinks? Refreshing, balanced, delicious. The kind you order twice by accident on purpose. THE VERDICT Honor Bar is a masterclass in hospitality. A place where excellence isn't random... it's routine. Where the service is as memorable as the food. Where leadership clearly hires rockstars and creates an environment where they can shine. Hillstone, if you're listening... these employees deserve to be recognized. What this team does, night after night, is nothing short of flawless execution. If you want warmth, comfort, consistency, laughter, joy, great food, perfect drinks, and staff who genuinely make your day better... Honor Bar is the Highland Park Village essential. This isn't just a restaurant. It's a ritual. And I cannot recommend it highly enough. 11/10! read more

Overall, the vibe is great, and the drinks are delicious. I thought the service was very good as well. Definitely could use some more AC. The food was decent, however, I think the lamb sandwich needed some type of Greek sauce to go with it. All in all a good experience and would go back. read more

I've been a regular at Honor Bar for the past two years, usually visiting one or two Saturdays a month. I've always enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and hospitality, which is why this experience was so disappointing. My girlfriend and I arrived first for what would become a party of four. The patio was almost completely empty, so I asked if we could start eating while our friends finished shopping and then move when they arrived. We were told that would be no problem. About 15 minutes later, just as our food came out, our friends arrived. We asked to move as previously discussed, but after multiple trips to the manager, we were told no. The only options were for our friends to sit somewhere else or for us to finish our meals before moving. I even offered to order two additional entrées for them, and the answer was still no. The most frustrating part wasn't even the decision--it was the complete lack of hospitality. The manager, Emily, refused to speak with me directly, refused to explain the reasoning, and refused every reasonable solution despite plenty of available seating. I've never had an experience like this at Honor Bar, and it's clear to me that the issue wasn't the staff or the restaurant--it was the management in this instance. Based on my experience, Emily either needs significant retraining in customer service and hospitality or should not be in a guest-facing leadership role. One manager shouldn't be able to undo years of goodwill with loyal customers. Unfortunately, unless management addresses this, we won't be returning. read more

This week I had the pleasure of visiting Honor Bar for the first time. This was also my first experience at a restaurant in the Hillstone group, which I was especially excited about since I've only ever heard great things. Honor Bar is located in Highland Park Village, which makes for a convenient and upscale dining experience. Complimentary valet is available -- a big perk given how crowded the parking lot usually gets. The area is surrounded by high-end shops, perfect for browsing or window shopping before or after your meal. To drink, I ordered the Jack Rabbit. Tequila is always my go-to spirit, and this cocktail came recommended by our server. The combination of tequila, Campari, and mint was refreshing and well-balanced -- a great drink to sip on while enjoying dinner. For my entrée, I went with Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I don't usually order sandwiches at restaurants, but this one has a reputation online. Served cut into thirds, it's generously stacked with crispy chicken, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, and a slaw. The slaw, paired with what seemed like a honey mustard sauce, added just the right flavor contrast. The menu describes the slaw as spicy, though I didn't find it spicy at all. The chicken itself was fried to perfection -- golden, crunchy, and juicy on the inside. It's easy for a sandwich to be good, but rarely do I get my socks knocked off by one. The Dang's Crispy Chicken landed right in the middle; it didn't blow me away but I would happily order it again! To finish, we shared the Pot de Crème topped with homemade whipped cream and a coffee crumble. It was the perfect ending: rich and indulgent, but portioned just right -- satisfying without being over the top (a rarity for Texas desserts!). Overall, Honor Bar delivered on the high expectations I had. From the service to the food and atmosphere, everything came together for a memorable first visit. read more

I've always loved Hillstone restaurants so was super excited to try The Honor Bar. Note that parking is very tight and congested in Highland Park Village so give yourself plenty of time to park and then head over. My friend was raving over The Crush which has smashed grapes inside the cocktail and it definitely did not disappoint. We started with the Deviled Eggs which clearly is a favorite at this restaurant since we saw pretty much every table around us ordering them, and yes they were very good. I was debating on what to get as my entree and ultimately ended up with the Ahi Tuna Poke which was not only presented beautifully but was made to perfection. Our server was very attentive and our water glasses were always full as well. The inside of the restaurant is not super big but they also have a bar area and patio seating. I would say this place is not great for big parties as it looked like every booth and table was set up for no more than 4 people. read more

We had some friends in town for a few days and they wanted to check out Highland Park and after our shopping we stopped in for lunch. It was packed with a long wait so we hung out by the bar until seats opened up. We were able to get seats and had several cocktails, the tuna, deviled eggs, and the chicken sandwiches. Everything was delicious and it was cool place to check out! read more

Weird vibes. Have been there previously for some bites and drinks and enjoyed the patio. Try the chicken meatballs! Was too hot today for outdoor dining so asked if we could sit inside at 5pm on a Saturday, where we were told "only if we were SURE we'd be eating dinner" and that my fiancé would have to remove his baseball cap. I thought the first part was a little odd but whatever. We were sat and then decided we weren't that hungry and when we told the waiter we'd just be doing apps and drinks we were told that someone up front should have told us the dining room was only for full service dining (whatever that means?) and the bill immediately appeared. My drink was nearly snatched from my hand the second I finished it. read more

Food is always good, but service is always bad. Not sure why the waiters feel and staff feel superior to you here...

Was so excited to try this spot while I'm in Dallas, but got turned away by the lady at the door for wearing a crop top... definitely a first for me ‍ Looking through other reviews I'm not the only one that got bad vibes there. I get having a dress code, but it definitely caught me off guard. & rubbed me the wrong way.. Just a heads up for the girls if you want to play it safe, maybe skip the crop top LOL read more

We really enjoyed our time at honor bar. There is a great ambience inside and the service was friendly. We started off with the martini and a beer, which were both great but a little bit on the expensive side. We got the prime rib sandwich and burger with fries, which were excellent. I highly recommend both of those dishes. Overall, I would come to honor bar again. Note- there is a complimentary valet for parking. read more

I recently had lunch at Honor Bar and, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. We spent a considerable amount of money dining there, and everything was fine until we asked for a small cup of water for our 25 lb mini Goldendoodle, who was quietly and well-behaved beside us. First, our waitress told us she "didn't have any cups," even though they clearly had to-go cups available. That response felt dishonest. We then asked to speak with the manager to better understand the policy. She said she didn't know the reason and needed to call the ownership company. When she returned, she still had no explanation and simply said she could not provide water for our dog. It was around 80 degrees outside. It is not reasonable to let a dog sit in that heat without water. Providing a small cup of water is a basic act of courtesy. This should not require calling upper management, and it certainly should not be denied without explanation. We understand that restaurants may have policies regarding pets. However, the lack of transparency, empathy, and common sense in this situation was very disappointing -- especially at this price point. Hospitality includes basic decency. We will not go back and not recommend this place for any animals lover ! read more

We came in excited to enjoy the venue, but our experience with the host quickly soured things. We inquired about patio seating and were met with a condescending tone and an inconsistent explanation of availability that kept changing. Again, being told there was no patio seating would have been completely fine if it had been communicated clearly and respectfully. Instead, the lack of consistency made the situation feel chaotic, and the delivery felt dismissive toward customers. For context, we came in with a high-profile model, an actor, and a CEO. I'm also the Creative Director for a major hospitality group with restaurants in LA, New York, and Miami, and we regularly host high-profile guests. Our teams are trained to communicate clearly, stay consistent, and handle every guest with professionalism, which is a big reason our ratings are significantly stronger. This interaction felt below the standard a well-run venue should accept. I hope the GM takes this seriously and coaches the front door staff accordingly. We ultimately chose to go to another restaurant in Highland Park, where we were instantly recognized and accommodated with the level of professionalism you would expect. The space has potential, but the first point of contact needs to do better. read more

We had a reservation and were seated quickly by a pleasant host, but our experience went downhill due to our server. We ordered two cocktails and two appetizers and were never offered water. When asked about ordering a main, we explained we were already full from the appetizers and didn't plan on getting an entrée. The server responded very condescendingly, immediately implying we needed to close out and leave and brought over the check even though we hadn't finished our food or drinks. We were actually planning to order more drinks, but when I mentioned this, she told us we would need to move tables and be seated outside. We were never told that ordering a main dish was required by the host when checking in, and there were multiple empty tables inside, so this was confusing and unnecessary. Because of the attitude and poor service, we decided to leave and went across the street to Lounge 31, where we had a much better experience. The ambiance, drinks, and appetizers were good, which is why I'm leaving two stars, but the service completely took away from the experience. read more

This place has the worst service ever I've been here already multiple times and every time I've been on a phone call or FaceTime with my mom that is at a different time zone to say good night to her.

Great little restaurant tucked in Highland Park Village. Parking was a little challenging, but they do have valet options. We made our reservation online about 2 days prior, so getting in was no issue for us, but I recommend booking ahead if you can because inside and outside were both pretty small. There's a limited menu but there's easily something for everyone. I wasn't too hungry so got the chicken meatballs and the French fries and they are both so yummy and flavorful. I knew I wanted a white wine to pair but I wasn't sure which I wanted, the waitress recommended the Pinot Grigio and it was really smooth. Overall, I loved the romantic/dark vibes of the restaurant, the food was really good and the staff were all super helpful. I would note- they do not take Discover cards (which is totally fine, but I just wanted to let yall know ahead of time, just in case) read more

I think this is only my second Yelp review ever, but this trainwreck deserved it. If I could leave fewer than one star, I absolutely would. The single pity star goes to the food, which was decent--but completely overshadowed by what might be the worst customer service experience of my entire life. And this is coming from a fat-kid foodie who will usually overlook a lot for a good meal. From the very first interaction, our server (blonde, tragic red lipstick, name unknown) was dripping with pretentious, nose-turned-up energy. Every time she approached the table she wore this condescending little smirk, like we were either stupid or personally ruining her evening. My counterpart and I were simply talking, enjoying our $70+ salad and sandwich, when she repeatedly interrupted us with, "Are you still working... or can I take your plates?"--complete with eye-rolls--and was clearly trying to speed-run us out the door within 30-45 minutes of being seated. Mind you, my counterpart still had an untouched basket of fries and two-thirds of his sandwich on the plate. After her second attempt to whisk it away, he finally just gave up and said, "Sure, you can take my plate," purely out of exhaustion. At that point, I decided to adopt a full "screw it" mindset. We were going to take our time and pretend she didn't exist. Apparently our refusal to be bullied out offended her deeply, because when her passive-aggressive tactics failed, she escalated and sent over her manager--slightly less rude, but much more passive aggressive--to formally ask us to leave as she painfully smiled, showing every last tooth in her mouth. Lol! As if two fully grown adults, dressed business casual and quietly minding our own business, were somehow an existential threat to their dining room. The whole thing was bizarre. And based on the long list of one-star reviews complaining about their "service," it looks like this place has earned its reputation. Plenty of better spots in Highland Park to overpay for a salad. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. Steer clear, folks. read more

The Honor Bar - Tuna salad - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stopped in with 2 friends for a drink and lite bites for only to be declined a place to sit. We were offered the bar, which could not accommodate 3 people together. We could have a table, only if we were ordering three entrees. Mind you, the restaurant was mostly empty, and we were looking for a quick stop before our reservation at a nearby venue. Instead, they got no revenue from us and highly reduced the likelihood that we will return. The inability of the manager to make a decision that drives revenue and good will is a recurring issue we have experienced more and more in our travels. I hope that owners learn these important leadership traits to improve their customer experience and as a result, their revenue. For me, Honor Bar is not on our list for now when there are so many good options in Dallas. read more
