    The Service was great the people were very friendly & helpful. It was very clean on the inside and looked brand new like they just opened. The Food was good but we were told it would be spicy but it wasn't it was actually really sweet which was unexpected. Plus a lot of things either came in small amounts or a la cart & they were very expensive. So I would say Yes give it a try maybe try a different more established location & bring a few extra bucks if you want to get a little bit of everything in your boil!

    UNETHICAL STAFF!!!!!! My wife and three kids walked in at 9:00 PM. Nobody sat us down, we proceeded to sit down, and the three employees looked at us and shook their heads with an annoyed appearance. We waited for 15 minutes and not one single employee came to us. We overheard other people complaining as well. The employees seemed very busy chatting and talking about how they cannot wait to get off. The place was not anywhere near full, which is why it seemed weird. What makes matters worse is that when we got up to leave,..... The three employees literally HIGH FIVED each other and laughed in joy!!!!!! I'm assuming because they had an hour and a half left they had something personal against us and were glad that we left. We don't understand what happened at all. We are definitely never the kind of people to be rude or act entitled. But this was VERY DISAPPOINTING because I take my Electrical Company Employees out for a team dinner several times a month here. Definitely going to take my money elsewhere.

    Very cool restaurant & bar in Bishop Arts District in Dallas. The space is pretty small with very…read morelimited seating, so we recommend making a reservation ahead rather than walking in. The seafood here is SO fresh!!! And honestly, we were impressed by every single dish we tried. Here's everything we ordered: Oysters shooters Premium raw oysters Foie gras Beef tartare Lobster rolls Chargrilled oysters Just WOW. I had one of the best foie gras experiences I've had in years! The pate was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. And the oysters?! Fresh, briny, and flavorful. My most favorite is the oyster shooters, but chargrilled oysters were also excellent, and the lobster rolls were scrumptious as well (like for real we picked a random restaurant, choosing random dishes from their menu and didn't expect it would surprise us in a good way like this). Honestly, who knew Texas could do seafood like this?! Every dish we ordered was a hit, and there wasn't a single thing we wouldn't order again. We're so glad we found this hidden gem in Bishop Arts. Definitely adding this to our Dallas favorites next time we're back!

The ambiance is intimate as it is a smallish room but so inviting and comfortable with comfy chairs and tables, attentive service, nothing pretentious but the food and drinks were five star flavors and presentation. So glad this spot is in our neighborhood - just what North Oak Cliff and Bishop Arts needed. We will be back many many times!

He's had great success in the Dallas area with Tacos Mariachi, Milagro Taco, and Chimichurri. Pesca features classic seafood entrees with a twist. I've been to Pesca a few times and I'm very impressed. The space is very open and consists of a few booths plus several table/chair combos. On all of my visits, the staff is always super friendly and very knowledgeable of the standard menu plus any specials. Add to it, they have a full bar with several custom drinks which the staff recommend. On my most recent visit, I went for dinner and throughly enjoyed the Blackened Catfish & Crab entree which has easily become my favorite here. It comes with a catfish filet, crab on top and served in a lemon butter sauce. It comes with both asparagus and a garlic mash...simply delicious!! That said, every thing I've had here has been super tasty!! Pesca does have a weekend brunch menu which I still need to try. If you have not visited yet, what are you waiting for. Whether it's for a special occasion or just dropping in for a great meal, Pesca Coastal Classics should be on your list.

We had the Jumbo Shrimp Seafood Boil, traditional and Mexico City micheladas with Pacifico, and finished with the crème brûlée. Every dish was excellent. Our waiter, Michael, was incredibly kind and welcoming. He made sure our drinks were to our liking and even offered to remake them if needed. Chef Roger also stopped by our table personally to check on us and make sure everything was good. The restaurant was very clean, the ambiance was great, and the service was outstanding. It honestly made me a little sad to see it so quiet because places with good food, great people, and excellent hospitality deserve to be busy. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.

The rustic decor and music are top-notch, it feels elevated. Parking is in the garage downstairs and a short elevator ride up helps you avoid the inclement weather outside. Verdict: fantastic!

We also appreciated the manager acknowledging the long wait and missing food and drinks by sending over complimentary dessert. Unfortunately, our experience with Taylor was disappointing. She spent the majority of the night standing against the wall and came across as rude and passive-aggressive, especially as we were preparing to leave. This was a noticeable contrast to Ozzy and Terrance's hospitality. The "Cowgirl Dinner" was enjoyable, but the service issues were disappointing, especially as returning guests. Overall, we appreciate the team members who made an effort and hope management addresses the concerns regarding Taylor's attitude.

Comfortable atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, delicious food that is really reasonably priced, especially if you get one of their daily specials. Where else can you get two pupusas of your choice, a side of rice and beans for 10 bucks! And this is a filling meal. Rice and beans are always fresh as are the pupusas. They even throw in chips and salsa. But beyond their Salvadoran cuisine they offer some killer steaks and unique killer cocktails, which is why I always sit at the bar. Whenever you find yourself in South Dallas I strongly recommend coming here.

I got a mimosa, vegetarian popusa, and a corn tamale. Everything was delectable. The portions were perfect. I love that they have vegan and vegetarian options! The location is in a up and coming area, was not that nice years ago. There is plenty of parking but depending on the time you arrive you may have to pay for parking. I think it's free after 6pm. The price was also perfect for what we got! We lined this location and will continue to come in
