    over cooked burger
    Maggie L.

    haven't been here in quite a while. Was not really all that satisfied with our meal. OK burger, onion rings that were underdone and tasted like raw flour. Bologna sandwich was ordered with lettuce tomato and mayonnaise. Nothing else. A bologna sandwich with tomato and mustard, no lettuce and cheese glued to the bun. I do applaud management for removing the bologna sandwich from our tab. very nice attentive server.

    They make really yummy cosmos here! We accidentally came on a night when the game was on, so it was crazy crowded and loud, but we were able to still get a table right away and get our drinks! Cute place, would definitely want to try this again when it's less crazy!

    Chicken Wings

    New to the neighborhood, my gf and I are on a mission to try all the restaurants near our place. Since Loon was a 5 min walk, we decided to have dinner on a Wednesday night and we were definitely pleased. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loon is a cool little neighborhood spot with outdoor patio seating and several tables inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's self seat, so find a table and a waitress/waiter will be by shortly. We were immediately greeted by Brandon. He was personable and quick to offer drinks and suggestions for food. I will say that their menu has a little something for everyone! The prices are reasonable and sizes are plentiful. I ordered a Sauvignon Blanc and the bartender was generous with the pour! My gf ordered an Old Fashioned and it solid! For dinner, we ordered Hot Lemon Pepper Wings, cheesy tots and Chicken Franseca. The wings had more spice than lemon pepper but they were still very tasty and fried well! Tots.. how can you go wrong lol..delish! The chicken breast for the Franseca was fried perfectly laid over a bed of Fettuccine. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was garlicky and creamy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also noticed that they have game nights on Wednesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back for good food, drinks and fun!

    Nachos

    At first glance, it looks like a decent dive bar, but after seating ourselves as the sign suggested. We waited for 10 minutes before I had to get my own menu. Then ordered a Kentucky mule and they had never heard of it. So I ordered a bourbon neat. Once we got the waitress's we ordered nachos. They took 25 mins to bring them out and as you can see from the photo, it was store bought tortilla chips, store bought shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and pickled jalapeño. We haven't seen our waitress since she sat down the underwhelming nachos. DON'T waste your time here.

    $5 Termans shots oooweeee

    A great neighborhood vibe with a "Cheers" type of where everyone there knows your name. Most of the customers are regulars and the bartenders make sure to let you know who they are and where they work! I went on a Tuesday! I highly recommend! $2.50 tacos that are huge and tasty and $5 tequila shots. I will be back!

    This is a great hidden gem near uptown, Heather and Hallie were awesome also was Felipe helping getting things done, checking on the food for sure, here is what you need to know, patience is key for great food service! Specially nowadays! Specials are delicious and drinks are awesome! We will return for more soon!

    My absolute favorite Gastropub in Dallas, friendly, attentive, staff, stiff drinks, and absolutely awesome food, [[HIGHLIGHT]]streetside patio reminds me of Paris for the people watching yet Dallas based[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The Cash.....yeah that's me!

    My favorite spot for all the puppy love. The loon is our local dive-bar that offers a great atmosphere (puppy love), access to water bowls on the patio, and did I mention our own Puppy menu (check out photos)! With the option of being open every day and late nights on Fridays and Saturdays; I'm able to come here when I want and just enjoy the patio with friends (humans and pups). For the mommies and daddies; there's a full bar and a great human menu from apps, sandwiches and entrees (mommies fav: chicken fried chicken)! Come play with me and don't forget to say hi to all my aunts and uncles (owners and employees)! Update: now open til 2am on Thursdays.....karaoke starting at 8pm

    Left on hold for about 13 minutes while trying to place a simple to go pickup order. Finally hung up and ordered from somewhere else.

    This was a solid place for the wife and I to visit on a Wednesday night at 11pm. It was lively and…read morethe kitchen would stay open until 11:45 Here's what we got: - steak frittes: for $29, you get Brussels sprouts, fries, steak and a peppercorn sauce. How can you argue with that? You can't. Solid. - spicy chicken strips: these were good but nothing special. What was special were the sauces this came with. Aside from that, we felt the chicken was kinda dry. Very crispy though. - bourbon bread pudding: Just Good.

    We had a great experience with our server and genuinely enjoyed our visit overall. Unfortunately,…read morethe end of the evening left a very disappointing impression. After requesting a water to go, we were unexpectedly accused by the bartender, Jake, of placing an alcoholic beverage into a to-go cup. The accusation was embarrassing, unnecessary, and made even more uncomfortable by the fact that it was made publicly and without cause. To be fair, the manager on staff handled our complaint regarding Jake professionally and with care, which we truly appreciated. However, the situation itself left a lasting negative impression. As professionals in the criminal law and medical fields, we value professionalism, discretion, and respectful communication. Being wrongly accused in that manner was disappointing and frankly humiliating. Because of this experience, we will not be returning anytime soon, despite what had otherwise been an enjoyable evening.

    Okay!!! Las Palmas has officially been added to our work trip dinner rotation!! No…read morereservation...just a walk party of 6 and they had a table for us...as long as we could be out by a certain time...about an hour and a half after we walked in. We were there to eat so if they were going to wine and dine us in that amount of time, we were there for it!! Everything was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks and we are so glad we found this location and made it happen! I was looking forward to dinner here the entire day and it was worth it!! We had the queso blanco...it's got a kick...worth it! My wagyu fajitas were perfectly cooked medium rare and soooo flavorful!! I was my dessert in my pjs back at the hotel...the sopapilla cheesecake and ice cream held up perfectly and was everything I wanted it to be!! It's a dark atmosphere in the bar area, but the vibes were so cool. It wasn't too loud to where people were having to scream to converse...but it was not intimate where you could talk across the table softly with the other person hearing. We are still talking about Las Palmas days later and can't wait until we are back in Dallas to bring more of our group here to enjoy delicious food and great service!!

    I came here for my birthday dinner with a couple of friends and overall had a really great…read moreexperience. A few important notes though: this place is SUPER loud, especially upstairs, so if you are trying to take your older parents somewhere for a nice dinner where you can actually catch up and have a conversation, this might not be the spot. Also, avoid the upstairs dining room if anyone has mobility issues. The stairs are a little sketchy in that dark space because you basically have to TRUST there is another stair step in front of you even though you can't see it. And a heads up, do not wander into the wrong bathroom upstairs like my husband did because the "men's" and "ladies" signs upstairs are also nearly impossible to read in the dark! But honestly, those are really my only complaints... The service and food were both very good. We had a couple of ordering fumbles. We got the regular queso, and then immediately watched another table get the tableside flaming queso and we were seriously bummed. Like, really bummed. That is definitely what I will be ordering next time. The chips and smoky salsa were excellent!! - and I always appreciate when everyone gets their own little portion of salsa so everyone can double dip without feeling like a heathen. I ordered the wagyu fajitas (the half portion), and it was still easily enough food for two people. I will say the meat was more like a filet mignon texture and less like the flavorful fajita meat I was expecting. My friend's pork fajitas were actually much better and had more flavor. When the manager stopped by to check on us, I had to announce my own birthday because apparently my friends were not going to help me out with that (some friends, huh?). They brought out a complimentary sopapilla cheesecake with a candle, which was a very nice touch. All in all, I loved the place and totally understand the hype. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. There is valet parking, but we found easy parking across the street. I cannot wait to come back and try that flaming queso!
