    Pork chop and succotash, loved the veggies
    Mindi A.

    Everything was good, service was friendly, and the space is adorable. The focaccia was good but skippable, highly recommend the pork belly watermelon salad. That was my favorite dish. The kimchi pancakes were worth a try, but I don't see myself ordering them again. I loved the texture, but they were a little spicy for me. The scallops and pork chop were both very good. I particularly liked the veggies with the pork chop.

    Upscale, farm-to-table concept in the center of Bishop Arts! My friend and I dined at Written and had a wonderful experience! The interior is modern with a rustic touch. Our server was very friendly and attentive! Drink: Spicy Hibiscus Margarita - Fruity and spicy all in one refreshing cocktail. 10/10! App: Butternut Squash Focaccia - So delicious! The focaccia was light and fluffy. The bits of balsamic soaked into the bread added just the right amount of tanginess. Mains: Kimchi Scallion Pancakes and Korean Glass Noodles - Both were packed with flavor and spice! I loved the chewiness of the pancakes and the savory kimchi. The noodles had a great bite and were perfectly coated in an umami sauce. Overall, everything was fantastic! Can't wait to come back, as they change their menu based on the seasons!

    Butternut Foccacia
    Anisha M.

    I will admit walking by this restaurant many times when I'm in Bishop Arts and it's only recently that I finally found out the last word in the title is Seasons not Stars. This Michelin recommended restaraunt is no joke however, as it's home to a great selection of seasonal offerings, to delight any palette. My friend and I split the dishes we ordered between us and I highly recommend doing so as the portions can be large, depending on the item. We selected the Butternut Squash Foccacia (with an herb olive oil). This bread is pretty heavenly as it's soft but slightly flaky, paired with the olive oil it melts in the mouth. Secondly, we ordered the Kimchi Pancakes (scallion, daikon radish and sprouts) and the Spicy Korean Glass Noodles (with mushrooms, bok choy, scallions, soy-ginger sauce, peppers, and a sambal). Overall I'd say the last dish wasn't my favorite because the sauce was a bit on the runnier side for my liking, but I enjoyed the kimchi pancakes, especially the dip that comes with it. For drinks, we both ordered the same cocktail; Spicy Hibiscus Margarita (Don Fulano Blanco Tequila, hibiscus concentrate, lime, agave, and jalapeño) and I really enjoyed it even though it was a whopping $19 each. I was glad to visit a place that earns its spot alongside very select and highly favorable establishments and I would definitely recommend it to others.

    We came here to celebrate a birthday with drinks and the staff was amazing even though we didn't order food. They even brought the birthday girl a dessert. I got their spicy hibiscus margarita which was so tasty, all of their drinks were good and our whole party was happy. We also tried their cold pressed juices. I got their beet juice to go and it was authentic and I truly got my money's worth. If you like seafood this is the place to go but they also have an extensive bar. I will be back.

    This was yummy!

    Good but not great. The drinks were good, we ordered a bunch of different cocktails. However, the mains were just a bummer. The noodles tangy, the fish smelly. I'd probably go there again for the chef specials like kimchi pancakes and the mushroom dish. But overall, meh!

    Pork chop
    Christina M.

    I can't believe I used to walk right past this place! Now I'm wondering why I waited so long. We came for Galentine's Day dinner and it was absolutely phenomenal. The food was incredible. Portions are generous, so we split a few appetizers and shared a main, which ended up being perfect. Every single dish was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. One of my favorite parts (and this might sound funny) was the atmosphere. It was lively but not overwhelmingly loud like so many restaurants that morph into clubs as the night goes on. This felt like a true dining experience, a place that genuinely wants you to slow down, enjoy your food, connect with your people, and savor the moment. The service was equally impressive. We asked our server for recommendations and simply trusted her and she did not miss. Every suggestion was spot on. We ordered the pork chop as our main, fully expecting it to be a little dry (as pork chops often are), and it was anything but. It was tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best surprises of the night. I rarely order pork chops, and now I'm rethinking that decision. It's easy to see why this is a Michelin-recommended farm-to-table restaurant. From the food to the service to the ambiance, everything felt intentional and elevated. Already looking forward to coming back.

    My husband and I debated between 3.5 and 4 stars for this restaurant. We loved the seasonal, fresh menu, but nothing totally blew us away. The restaurant itself is open, modern and very great vibe for a weekend dinner. Our server (Jojo I think?) was great. Gave us some great recommendations and overall was prompt with a great personality. To start the yellowfin crudo was delish! Had a fresh raspberry purée with great flavors. We also got the focaccia that was light and flavorful. My husband got the duck confit that was good. Warm, comforting with bold curry flavors. I got the glass noodles with salmon. The fish was great and the noodles had fresh vegetables and good miso flavors. The noodles were kind of hard to eat given the texture, but tasty. Again, all was good but for the price, it just didn't blow us away or leave us wanting more. Def worth the try!

    We came here last night and we had a fabulous time! At first the ambiance was busy which is a good sign, it means good food and I'd say that is accurate because the food was divine. Our waitress took good care of us. We did come in super hungry because we usually eat around 7ish and our reservation was at 8:30. Our waitress wanted us to know our entire order before putting anything in so it was a lot of pressure at first. We started off with the kimchi pancake and I didn't get to take a photo because I was starving we devoured it. Nevertheless, it has a good spice and nice texture. Then our main entrees came. Hubby got the duck confit which had a wonderful pairing of sweet coconut sticky rice with the spicy duck. The oven grilled grape sort of freaked him out a bit though Then I got the day boat scallop and it's one of the best scallops I've had to date. Scallops were perfectly cooked and had a sweet and savory flavor in itself, while the bacon added a wonderful savory flavor addition to it. I got so full so I ended up taking half of it home. Our waitress apologized for the food taking long so she treated us to a wonderful dessert. It was a merengue cookie with some fruits! It was so delicious and light! I would say Dallas really has some gems and this place is one of them!

    The summer tonic. Very refreshing!
    Stephanie W.

    I really enjoyed written by the seasons! It wasn't my fanciest Michelin rec'd experience, but the vibes were very good. I was in town and made the reservation in the afternoon and did not have any issue (although I did have to call to make the res - the Resy website did not allow me to make a dinner res for 1 person at any time, they told me on the phone it is a glitch). When I arrived that evening the place was packed, it was very busy! The area itself is popular and fun, so that adds to the vibe. There is only street parking, no lots. I was there on a Friday evening, so the only spot I barely found was about 2.5 blocks away (I got it as someone was leaving luckily)! Plan accordingly~ I had a cocktail called their summer tonic and requested they make it a bit sweeter since it's a dry drink. It was perfect! And the bartender (I believe his name was Logan) was also great - very attentive and helpful with recs. For dinner I had the day boat scallops with risotto and veg ($48); a bit pricey but the plate had me full by the end so overall pretty good value. And as a last note, there are individual room bathrooms - they are very clean. Overall wasnt totally blown away by my experience, but found everything to be quite favorable. Would definitely come back for another drink or dessert any time :)

    This place has been open for a couple of years now and had been on my list of places to visit FOREVER. Well, my friend decided to have her 40th birthday dinner here so I FINALLY got a chance to check it out. We had a reservation for 7 people on a Friday night. We were sat immediately on the outside patio. The place is so cute and small, and the location is everything (Bishop Arts). All the food and drinks we ordered were great. Our server was also amazing. My only complaint is that things took FOREVER to come out. To give you an example of timing and how backwards our orders were, we had two friends join us an hour after we sat down and their wine came out before our cocktails. Overall, I'd definitely go back because the food was too good. I wish I had more pictures but I was too busy eating.

    Amazing restaurant, service was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive and accommodating for our 1.5 yr old. The only downside to this place is that it's not the most family friendly for little ones. When we got there we asked for a high chair but they said they only have one, which was in use by another party. At the time it didn't bother us too much since he was still asleep in his car seat but it made us feel very awkward. It was pouring rain and they mentioned they would have to run across the street to Paradiso to get a high chair from them since they apparently share resources. An interesting setup but it was slightly unprofessional to guilt trip us for wanting a perfectly reasonable accommodation that could be found at your nearest Chili's. I can't knock the food because it was delicious, from appetizers to dessert. Hopefully next time they'll have more than one high chair on standby!

    This is my go-to for a rotating seasonal menu and quality meal in Dallas. The space is beautiful with indoor/outdoor seating and a small bar. The dishes are always tasty. The service is great. We went for our friendiversary and they made it so special for us. The wine was great.

    We have been wanting to stop by here for quite a while and are glad we did. Parking is a little tough but that's just the area it's in. The restaurant was full but nice and tables were spaced so it didn't feel crowded. Our waitress, Ellie, was great. She was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Very very good! Our food was excellent as well! We got the focaccia bread starter, trout fritters, and pork belly small plate, and then the duck confit, and cod for our entrees. Everything was very tasty and we loved it all! We were stuffed after all that food but the table next to us had recommended the guava cheesecake so we ordered that and it was our favorite thing we ordered. Highly recommend! Our drinks looked cool and were very tasty as well! I would come back when the menu changes as it changes 4 times a year and would definitely recommend!
