    Prime Bone-in Ribeye (22 oz.) is delicious.
    Mike S.

    This restaurant has been around since the '40s, and it had been at least five years since we had visited. I am not sure why, because we had an excellent experience and a really fun night. Our waiter was very attentive and answered all of our questions. Our cocktails were hand-made and served immediately. We both had steaks and the flavor was outstanding. My wife said her fillet was the best she has had in a long time. During dinner, we were treated to a talented pianist that took song suggestions throughout the evening - a very special touch. The decor is a little dated, but that did not deter from a wonderful evening. We are excited to go back.

    We went for Mother's Day since my dad was raving about how amazing it was when he went years back (before the relocation). There was no line which was good, but food took forever to come out. The appetizer (fried goat cheese w honey) was good, but main course which was Pre fixe steak (forgot the cuts) was really red and raw for all of us, especially for my dad since requested well done. The dessert also wasn't that great, it tasted frozen (kind of like freezer burn). Ambience was nice, the pianist was amazing. Unfortunately, the lounge next door could be heard which kind of dimmed the mood a little. Overall, I don't think we would come back again.

    We ate here on Valentine's Day 2026. My husband, a native to Dallas, mentioned that he had always wanted to eat at the Old Warsaw but never had. So I surprised him with reservations. Here's my takeaway 1) you will absolutely need a reservation- like Don't try to walk in and expect a table, not because they're packed but because you probably won't get past the host/manager. I wouldn't want to cross him... but the table service was good. 2) about 7 days before your reservation they'll call and ask for a credit card to go on file- this guarantees you'll be there and there's a charge for no show 3) I saw reviews stating that men were upset that cowboy hats weren't allowed, however there was a guest wearing a very nice felt cowboy hat, so maybe they realized they were in Texas and changed the rule? 4) It's a prefixed menu with the price being $85 pp for an additional cost you can add a bottle of wine, order cocktails, tea etc. the price point was reasonable 5) Food: Apps were shrimp cocktail (excellent sauce) Cab Cake (a little salty) Mains: Beef Wellington cooked medium rare and it was very good- it was HOT which I like because who likes cold food? The potatoes and veggies were very flavorful. Hubs got the filet cooked medium rare and lobster. His steak was warm had good flavor, but the potatoes were cold and he had to ask for drawn butter for the lobster since it wasn't provided. Oh, and the bread, it was fresh from the oven so we did indulge. Desserts: blueberry cobbler and ice cream- excellent. Key lime pie it was NOT store bought. Overall the ambiance was nice- kind of a 40's elegant vibe mixed with slight mafia feel (just trust me on this) . We checked this spot off the list. We won't go back not because it was bad, but for us it's not a "return" to place. But I do suggest to try it out if you never have.

    I have heard about this place for quite a while and finally found an opportunity to stop in, though unfortunately just for an appetizer and a drink. The tartare was generously sized and totally delicious. The interior of the place is very cool and old-school. The only reason I only gave four stars is it was mostly empty in there and there was no music playing or anything. It was so quiet that every time the refrigerator is behind the bar clicked on it was almost startling. It's a bit disconcerting to eat in total silence. That said I'm excited to return and do an entire prix fixe menu.

    DO NOT GIVE AI & THE OLD WARSAW YOUR MONEY!! My fiancé made a Valentine's Day reservation at The Old Warsaw through OpenTable in January. We received multiple confirmations, including confirmations the day before Valentine's Day. On February 4th, we received a poorly written and suspicious text message from someone identifying himself as "Al"(who we later found out is the owner/manager), referencing multiple inconsistent phone numbers. Because it did not come through OpenTable or an official restaurant channel, we reasonably assumed it was a phishing attempt and did not respond. Confident in our confirmed reservation, we arrived dressed formally for what was meant to be a very meaningful evening. The Old Warsaw held sentimental value for our family, as it was a special place for my fiancé's grandparents. Upon arrival, we were ignored for several minutes before being told by Al abruptly and dismissively that we did not have a reservation. When my fiancé showed the OpenTable confirmation on his phone, it was not even reviewed. Instead, Al told us, "I don't care what your phone said. We called you several times. You don't have a reservation. Leave." The interaction was shockingly disrespectful and unprofessional. There was no attempt to verify the confirmation, no courtesy, and no effort to resolve the situation. If the restaurant operates a separate confirmation system outside of OpenTable, that process needs to be clearly communicated and properly managed. Guests should never be dismissed in such a manner, especially when they have documented confirmation. This experience was deeply disappointing, and we will not be returning.

    Food was outstanding and the service was excellent. The restaurant is old world and traditional feel. I absolutely love it.

    Went on Christmas night for a birthday dinner. Was not too crowded, food and ambiance were great! Service was excellent! Piano player was great and took requests! Perfect Christmas birthday!

    My initial reservation booked in early January, this still appeared on Resy. I spoke to someone via phone.

    DO NOT GO! I made a reservation on Valentine's Day at the beginning of January. I confirmed my reservation during a phone call where I increased the amount of people attending with me. This was less than a week out. I even got a resy reminder, and it still appeared on the resy under reservations. I show up at my designated reservation time after parking downstairs in their garage. We walk in to the restaurant near the bar, where there was no indication of whether this was the front. No hostess, no stand. We were waiting there for a few moments when an unidentified person briskly asks what name my reservation is under and I tell him and without looking at ANYTHING he said I didn't have a reservation. I told him I confirmed multiple times AND still showed on my resy. He then proceeded to curtly say sorry and continued to say I didn't have a reservation. He was unpleasant to communicate with and the whole experience was extremely unprofessional. I can't even attest to the food (which I was very excited about the vday menu), so this is strictly based on the incoordination and rude person (could be the manager or owner, who knows). AVOID, they clearly don't give a flying who comes or goes, nor do they even care about losing 200+ in revenue that night. Bonkers.

We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

At one point, our food was delivered while we were outside getting fresh air. The food was also disappointing. The scallops and chicken were extremely salty and lacked flavor, and the chicken was overcooked. When we brought it up, the server did little to address it. To top it off, we saw two large cockroaches around our table, which was especially noticeable in the dark dining room. The cocktails were the highlight, but overall, the service, food, pacing, and cleanliness did not meet expectations. One star. Very disappointing, and I'm not sure I'll be back.

During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.

How anyone could look at this and think this is medium-well is beyond me. I tried taking a bite, but it was so raw it was inedible to eat - I would've been chewing for ages. I brought this up to my waiter, who said he would take it back and speak to the kitchen. My group needed to leave for another event (didn't anticipate waiting nearly an hour for our food) so we simultaneously asked for our checks. The kicker? My waiter did not follow up with me on how raw the steak was and did not comp my meal/provide any kind of remedy. I wasn't looking for a free meal, but the lack of follow-through to remedy the situation was the icing on the cake (or insert some kind of raw steak pun). My cocktail (which all arrived AFTER our meals were delivered) was pretty good, thus the 2 stars. But I question why/how my steak was so raw despite me waiting 45-55 minutes for it. Overall, only come here for drinks - so long as you're okay with waiting forever & a day for them.
