    Fancy coffee serving for an airport place! And pretty good too
    Nick M.

    Came here because apparently they removed the Einstein's by D18 and was desperately seeking breakfast. Lo and behold, the restaurant by my gate has 4 stars on yelp! I had to check it out... Asked the waiter for recommendations, and my server, Tia, strongly recommended the Breakfast Enchiladas, saying it was her hands down favorite thing on the menu. First of all, I love it when your server can provide a strong and meaningful recommendation, even if you're in an airport! When I ordered it with a side of bacon, she looked delightfully surprised and gave a huge thumbs up. You definitely get the vibe that folks here are willing to engage with you and be kind; I know working in an airport is no walk in the park, but everyone I interacted with went above and beyond to really make you feel like you were in a normal restaurant and not a few feet down from your standard airport fare. For what it's worth, their water is tasty and refreshing, not a hint of chlorine here. My food was absolutely delicious and I would get it again. Only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 is that you have to wait an awful long time before you get service (especially to get more coffee, water, the check, etc)

    It is extremely rare that I give such a high review to an airport restaurant, but I think Whitetail Bistro deserves it. I came in for dinner one night during an extended flight delay and found this service to be friendly and helpful. I ordered the duck -- YES, I realize I ordered duck at an airport restaurant, but my spirit said it might not be terrible so I went with it -- and was floored at its perfect preparation. The skin was crispy without being hard, the duck itself was cooked at just the right temperature, and the lemon-thyme jus brought it all together beautifully. I even thought the braised kale was a prefect accompaniment, stewed in such a way as to not be soggy and to be a perfect partner to the duck. Y'all, it was grand. This place is honesty an oasis in the middle of DFW. They also have a nice bar and wine selection. The bad part, though, is that whenever I go somewhere else in the terminal, I'm going to feel underwhelmed. Long live Whitetail Bistro!

    Dryish. Served with ham and bacon. I really like the LT parts of a BLT and they were hard to find in there.

    This is how it went down... Waiter handed over check for $12.95 BLT sandwich. I give him a $20. He then had the nerve to ask me if I'd be wanting change for that. I said yes. He then took his sweet time (over ten minutes) providing me with said change until finally I got up and walked over to him to ask for it. Abundantly clear that at least this staff member is abusing the fact that many airport customers are on a tight schedule. Sadly, my BLT was airport mediocre (a distinct category of blah). Handcut chips were good while hot but more like cardboard once they were at room temperature.

    It's totally changed my impression about the airport foods/restaurant. We have ordered the crispy duck to give a try. It's really really good. It's hard to cook the duck right unless you are in the authentic French restaurant. But, surprisingly they did good job. Crispy outside and tender inside. Very flavorful ... The service is very nice too. Jessica did great job to explain the dishes and give us/customer right amount of attentions. Definitely will be back again.

    Decent food for an airport. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The service was friendly and the food came out quick. I do think they skimped on the cheese though. Kind of weird since it was a grilled cheese.

    Beet Salad
    Cindi R.

    Great quality in food. Grass fed beef. I ordered a spring lettuce salad with beets minus the blue cheese dressing. Perfect portion before my flight.

    What? 3 stars?! I mean it was fine. Came here after reading reviews from you fine people (still love ya Yelpers) and straying from my tried and true (and much cheaper) Banh Shop. Overpriced for what it is and food came out way too quickly to be completely freshly made. I do like the charging ports (yay!) and the area is a beautiful part of the airport! Service was also good without being overbearing. Duck was again, fine, but tbh nothing to write home about! The kale and onion and bacon at the bottom did not do anything to help the dish... it actually detracted from it. And overpowered the duck. Not for $22+tax and tip. Automatic 3 stars at least for getting to review duck at an airport!

    The salmon was amazing. Totally recommended
    Scott G.

    I'd really give this place 3.5 stars if I could, but I opted to round up instead of down based on friendly servers and what I perceive as better quality relative to surrounding airport food here at DFW. Allow me to clarify regarding the servers: they were super friendly, but MY main server at least seemed to know very little about the menu. I expect 4-5 star establishments to have knowledgeable servers who can help a person choose appropriately from menu options, and I felt totally on my own here. My first course - or should I just say my salad, since my main course was brought out almost immediately following the salad presentation - was the chopped salad. I wish it had been slightly heavier on the dressing and the bacon, but I appreciated the variety of vegetables it contained. Lettuce, kale, maybe spinach, brussels, red cabbage at the least. I had the salmon entree for my main course, and I would give it a solid 5 stars. Perfectly cooked, super tender, with a tasty sauce. Complimented excellently by the cauliflower. I made the mistake of asking for a side of the potatoes that come with the steak - and these turned out to be super bland and unexciting - but that's my fault for ordering something that wasn't meant to be part of this meal. Maybe the bland potatoes are really good with the steak? Overall, I believe I would return here. Especially after walking around the airport quite a bit and coming away unimpressed by the competition. But I would put at least two or three places ahead of this one if it were at DEN!

    Say what?! Crispy duck at the airport and it's good. The bartender/waitress Alsiha didn't amazing job recommending the duck and whipping up some cocktails. Great place if you have a little time to stop by for a bite to eat.

    David Z.

    Food is good, but the portion size for the Salmon is ABSURD!!!! Trust me, it looks bigger in the picture if that's possible. Avoid this place if you are hungry.

    What they call an Old Fashion.

    Was hopeful as I'd had a good meal and experience here previously. Deferred my initial drink order due to hesitation from barman; I appreciate the honesty. He suggested the Old Fashioned but I was severely disappointed with it. I understand it's an airport but if you're going to purport to be somewhat upscale and charge accordingly then a simple drink should be manageable.

    Drip coffee is disgusting. Eggs and potatoes tasted like water. If you have to eat here the bacon and biscuits are the only decent options. I'd recommend Starbucks, it's cheaper!

    Whitetail Bistro opened a couple weeks ago. In fact I had to add them as an establishment to Yelp. It's an American restaurant that touts "trans fat free" meals and "local grown produce when possible". I had the Flank Steak and it was really good and cooked to the requested temperature. It came with roasted potatoes and a side salad with shallot vinaigrette. Very light on the dressing; needed more. Service was ok. There was only 5 tables and service was a bit slow.

    Stopped in here with a friend on a hot Sunday afternoon while escaping a thunderstorm outside, and…read moreit turned into such a lovely little break in the day. My chocolate ice cream was absolutely divine. Rich, creamy, and dangerously good to the point where I immediately wanted another scoop. The market area is also incredibly charming, filled with Italian groceries, wine, and all sorts of kitchen treasures and little knick knacks that make you want to slowly browse every shelf. It feels cozy, welcoming, and just a little tucked away from the world outside. Fast service, great food, and the perfect spot to pause for a moment while the storm rolled through. Will be back next time I'm in town.

I ordered the cacio e pepe off the specials board and added a house salad. If you do not know what cacio e pepe is, it is a dish with a few ingredients (pasta, cheese, black pepper, cream sauce). You can add protein to it, but it is pretty basic comfort food. Although it looks simple to prepare, I have eaten it in several DFW restaurants where it is atrocious. There is a fine line between delicious and paste with these ingredients, and it needs balance. The service was great. The food came quickly but I was not rushed to eat. The salad was fine - basic, fresh, and the balsamic dressing was not runny. When the cacio e pepe came out, it looked and smelled phenomenal. There was bread included, but I ignored it (which is not the norm for me). After the first bite, I was sold. This dish was freaking fantastic. The chef stopped and brought me fresh herbs from the plants out front (which were delicious). The dish was amazing on its own, and the herbs elevated it to another level of fantastic. It would have been inappropriate to lick the plate, but I did consider it (because the food was perfect). The food was phenomenal, the service was solid, and I will return repeatedly for this one dish. I am sure the other options are great, but this dish was a piece of heaven on a plate.

    A great wine bar I'd visit more often if it were closer…read more "Michelle S" was a wonderfully friendly bartender that made the experience even better. The happy hour wine, drinks and "bites" were just what was needed while waiting for an event nearby at 1845 Taste Texas. Ambiance is very nice and the area is well worth visiting.

    This was my (and my friends') first time and I was excited since I love a wine bar. I will say it…read morewas quite disappointing. I will start with the good - the Wednesday happy hour for the wine carafe was great and we enjoyed the wine. Our server was kind and attentive and recommended a wine for our taste. That being said, the food was below average. I was warned about the food but I wanted to try for myself and yikes. The breaded cauliflower and shrimp tempura tasted worse than the dishes across the street at the movie theater. Really just all fried and oily and not tasty. We got the charcuterie for 3-4 people, and there were pieces of salami that only came with 2 pieces. There should be at least 4 pieces of each to share. The pecans and the pita that came with this were stale. What saved the day was the blackberry burrata salad (even though it barely should be considered a salad). The pizza was pleasant! We went on a rainy day, so we had to sit inside and the ambiance was not great. Not a wine bar feel. Luckily I was in great company and had a good time with wine! The only time I would ever come back is on a sunny day so I can sit on their nice patio and only to have their wine.

    Came here for Sunday brunch with a group of 10, so I had to call in to make the reservation since…read moreonline couldn't accommodate our party which was totally fine. We were seated outside, and it ended up being perfect. It was sunny and nice, the heaters were on, and they even pulled the shade upon request, so it was very comfortable. Our waitress was really really sweet and tried her best to accommodate our large group. She took our orders quickly and was attentive throughout, which was appreciated. For drinks, I had an iced coffee...it was just okay, nothing special, but it did the job. The cocktails were better. The lavender honey drink was a hit with my friends, and the Dragon Refresher was really good and my personal favorite. Food was a bit hit or miss. I initially wanted the trout, which was still listed on the menu but wasn't available (they forgot to remove it). I switched to the salmon, which was okay, but it came with truffle fries and those were the star. They were so good we ordered two more. I also tried the stuffed chicken roulade, which I really enjoyed! The breakfast tacos were a big disappointing, pretty basic with scrambled eggs, bacon, with a side of roasted potatoes. Not much flavor. On the other hand, the ahi tuna tacos were great and loved by the table. We also tried the chicken & waffles, eggs benedict, and avocado toast...all solid. One hiccup: we ordered a charcuterie board and calamari as appetizers, but they never came. When I asked later, the waitress realized she had forgotten, so we canceled since our entrées were already out. Overall, great vibes, a nice outdoor setup, and a solid bar. Service was friendly and accommodating, especially for a large group. Food was mixed.

But it didn't encourage me to order anything else. It was empty when I came in but there were some ladies coming in while I was leaving. The decor is cute. It is in a very busy area I. Southlake and parking can get ornery. I hope find their groove, I will check it out again in a few months.
