Food was great. Shrimp and avocado salad was good, avocado was perfect ripe, mangos were pretty hard and not ripe. Salmon was good and steak was great. Pecans were great. Rosemary water was gross to me. Think maybe they should offer a plain water option or at least let you know that there's rosemary in the water before you drink it and are surprised. Can't imagine everyone is a fan of that flavor. They did bring me plain water once I asked for it. Service was okay, but our server disappeared about halfway though and then we had someone else come with our bill. Not a big deal at all, just a little odd for such a nice place. Also, 2/3 of us got our food at first and then the last persons meal came quite a while later. Again, not a huge deal, but not the service you would expect for the price you are paying. read more

Written by the seasons is such a cute restaurant! It's in a really neat, walkable area surrounded by several other restaurants, cafes, and small shops. The food and service were both pretty good and my friend and I left feeling satisfied. I had the: - Grilled shrimp & avocado salad 7.5/10 - Biscuits 9/10 - Cheeseburger with bacon and a side of potatoes 8/10 I was expecting the potatoes with the burger to be crispy, but they unfortunately weren't, but still tasted pretty decent overall. read more

Written By The Seasons, The Quad - Lemon Drop - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My birthday dinner was majestic because of Written by the Seasons! The Bishop location was on my list since opening, but I just never got around to going. I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit the new Uptown location, especially after their Michelin recommendation. Boy oh boy, was I in for a delightful ride! First, the restaurant is beautiful from the time you step out of your car (the valet team was lovely and offered an umbrella due to the light rain). The tree lights danced against the sky and lighted our path through the small courtyard. The team was attentive, accommodating, and all around did service right. The correct amount of friendliness and care had smiles plastered on my face throughout the evening. The menu is seasonal and delicious. The scallops were my favorite. They are easy to get wrong (overcooked or over seasoned), but WBTS balanced the saltiness with fresh greens and creamy squash. The focaccia?! I need someone to bake this for me regularly. I'm not saying it was a part of my breakfast the next day, but I'm not saying it wasn't.... Quality, fresh food for the win! read more

This is the first restaurant that I have been to, in the past year, that truly restores my excitement and hope about the dallas dining scene. The decor reminds me of the pacific and New England! and the food is just delicious! Service was attentive 10/10! I appreciate the focus on seasonal ingredients because it indicates thought and partnerships with their purveyors. Besides the focaccia, everything I tried was excellent! I was so stuffed in the end that I didn't get to desserts. Truly tragic because obviously I need to go back again ! read more

I've been a few times to the original Written by The Seasons in Bishop Arts and always loved the food and concept. And happy for their Michelin Recommendation. So this time I wanted to give the 2nd location in the Quad a try. And loved it, too. Actually even more than the original location: same excellent seasonal food and creative drinks, same excellent service, same vibe, better patio, better parking options (valet and validated garage self parking), less craziness (we Gen X' are getting into the years). Menu had enough choices to satisfy the picky as well as the adventurous eater, has many shareable options, generous portion sizes, and lots of dessert options, including seasonal fruit. Definitely going back! read more

Enticing are their seasonal menus. Romantic contemporary setting. Lovely patio. When weather permits, I'd choose to sit outside, for loud is the music in their dining room. Amazing attentive lunch service had on each of my visits at this Uptown location. Fresh but uninspiring are their salads; yet, back many times over I've been for their seasonal Focaccia; creative Sandwiches; and, mouthwatering Desserts, including their present Kimchi Tuna Melt and Butterscotch Panna Cotta, respectively! CHEERS! read more

If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would. This is officially my new favorite restaurant, and it all starts with the stunning atmosphere. Seriously, the interior design is flawless. That rust stone countertop with white veining is going to be the centerpiece of my next house--it's that gorgeous. The service was just as impressive. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She was genuinely attentive, checking on us frequently and making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. But let's talk about the bar. The bartender's personal mission in life must be to make the best drinks, because they were spectacular. I started with the spicy ranch water, which had the perfect, invigorating balance of tartness to spice. Next up, I requested a martini "dirtier than the Trinity River," and the result was nothing short of perfection. For the food, I tried the burger, the crispy potatoes were pillowy on the inside with crunch on the outside. But the true star of the entire show was the butternut squash focaccia. Truly 10/10. It had me googling recipes pretending like this is something I could make. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for an aesthetic lunch or for a night out. I'm already looking forward to returning this winter to check out the menu change! read more

I am so thrilled WBTS opened in uptown. This is very much one of those places, if you know, you know. The food is such a great quality, the people are friendly and they did an amazing job with the design. This location feels like the older sibling to the Bishop Arts location, the bar centering the room, the red marble throughout, the low lighting it's so romantic and vibey. Definitely a local spot to stop by for happy hour or a great option for a nice date! The food is all amazing, it does change so I'd trust the team to point you in the right direction! read more

Amazing food, service, ambiance and all the comfiness of a great farm to table experience.

Had a large group reservation for brunch and our waiter was super knowledgeable, funny, nice, and patient. We all got the right food and drinks (we had several diff dietary restrictions in our group). Food was delicious. My shrimp and avocado salad was super refreshing. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu! One star taken away because they were not able to separate our bills and had a rule of max of 4 credit cards per table, which made calculating everything inconvenient. read more

Went on a Thursday night. Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, it was very cute and the weather was perfect. I started off with the lemon drop and it was so good. Mixed perfectly. I loved how attentive the waiters were especially when it came to recommending appetizers and dishes! I also loved the playlist! Will be back! read more

Such a great concept of a restaurant. Love the seasonal menu, the seating outside is also great when the weather permits and they comp the valet. Our food was so fresh, you can tell they thought out each ingredient in the dish. Will definitely come back for the spring menu. read more

Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 Food 9/10 We had somebody checking in on us every 5 to 7 minutes. For some people, this might be true, intrusive, but my group didn't mind it. Ambience is absolutely magnificent! Romantic and upscale vibes make it great for date night, family, dinners, and work events! Most of the dishes I got were 10/10. I wasn't a fan of the wild mushrooms dish and I thought the burrata with grilled asparagus lacked a little bit of flavor and creativity. But the dishes are presented beautifully and there is something for everybody. I am a vegetarian and was thoroughly impressed at the vegetarian options on this curated menu. We went on a Friday night. Completely empty at 5pm and packed by 6:30-7pm. Must make an online reservation if you're planning on dining at a popular hour read more

This was a long awaited visit to Written by the Seasons at the Quad! The service was just how I like it...a lot of attention to detail. For dinner, I enjoyed the Dayboat Scallops. The savory scallops with the sweet potato puree and roasted squash was a sweet and savory combo that I literally seek for my special meals. The guava cheesecake traveled well as a to-go item. Welcome to the neighborhood WbtS! Cheers! read more

The concept of small and large plates made a family-style meal amongst us perfect. We secured a reservation on a busy Saturday, but did need to book 2 weeks in advance. The atmosphere is so sultry and warm. Each dish was a mind-blowing creation of pure deliciousness and color. What truly made our time there incredible was our server Rory. He really made our experience top notch! We cannot recommend Rory enough if you get the privilege of having him. read more

Wow! First time trying this place, and I'm looking forward to going lot more especially with the seasons and changing their menu that meets quality and fresh food! Very cool and unique experience! Everything tasted delicious, the vibe was great, but service was good I just prefer a server have more knowledge of the place especially with new restaurant. Even if when there is Australian dish on the menu, and she didn't know why they had it? Little odd... Nice experience all together! Cant wait come back. read more

One of the best restaurants in Dallas! Their menu is awesome and I love their cocktails. Great service and always a fun experience. The uptown location has a diff vibe than the Bishop Arts spot; it's a bit moodier and darker so perfect for a date night. Highly recommend! read more

All the food was delish. The personal touch for my birthday was nice. We have gone back again for drinks and dessert at the bar. I love farm to table and changing of menu items seasonally. Service overall is satisfactory at the bar it was touch and go bartenders seem eh. Indoor/ outdoor seating is ideal in spring it's right across from parking lot. read more

I was in Dallas for market this past week and someone that works in one of showrooms suggested dinner here and boy did it deliver! We were fortunate that they had just done the switch to the summer menu. Everything from the drinks, the service, and the ambiance was incredible! Here is what we had based on a scale 1-10 Sourdough with basalmic: 9/10 Salad with burrata and stone fruit: 10/10 (pretty sure I'll have dreams about this salad for a while) Salt cod fritters: 10/10 (reminded of the ones I had in Anguilla many years ago) Kimchi Pancakes: 10/10 (according to my sister) Scallops with corn soufflé: 9/10 (perfectly cooked and nice balance of flavors) I cannot recommend Written by the Seasons enough if you are in Dallas!! read more

Unreal food every time. Service is amazing and food is better and better every time. Focaccia bread is great to start and favorite items are the lunch burger, pork chop, steak, and all the beginnings. read more

This review makes me sad to write because Written by the Seasons has always been one of my favorite spots in Dallas. My husband and I have been coming here since they opened this location, and it's our go to for cocktails and dinner. Unfortunately, my visit a few weeks ago was really disappointing. We ordered the butternut squash focaccia (which we've had many times) and it came out visibly burnt -- blackened on the sides and dark throughout. No one checked on us for about 20 minutes. When our meals arrived, we told the table runner, who immediately agreed it was burnt and took it back. Then my entrée arrived with bread that was also badly charred. After waiting again to get someone's attention, a manager came over and was extremely condescending, insisting this was "how grilling works," despite the bread being visibly black not typical grill marks. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable, just bread that wasn't burnt. To top it off, we were still charged for the focaccia that was taken back untouched, and our waitress never returned to the table to check on us a single time for the entire dinner or to bring us our check. I had to go to the bar myself to get it removed and to finally close out. Mistakes happen, but the lack of service and dismissive response made this experience really unpleasant. I hope this was a one off, because this has always been a staple for me and this visit did not live up to what Written by the Seasons used to be. I do not see myself coming back soon and have cancelled future reservations which is sad but I'm hoping that this is temporary. read more

First time here and it did not disappoint. Our server Sam was super attentive and informative. You are expected to order everything at the same time (starters, small plates, and mains) and they pace when they bring them out them out accordingly. Everyone at the table agreed the burrata with brussel sprouts was the star of the show (I wasn't quick enough to take a picture before everyone dug in). I had the seafood stew which was absolutely amazing. My parents split the pork chop and said it was in the top 5 they've ever had. We shared the pavlova for dessert. We sat outside and the twinkle lights made for a great ambience. We will definitely be back. read more

We're visitors to the Dallas area about 3-4x a year and this will be a staple for us. We've been twice and I wish I had written a review the first time because we had such great service and food. I do remember what we had last visit! My husband ordered the scallops and risotto and I had the burrata and stone fruit salad. We also had two cocktails! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto was so rich and creamy (if you follow me, you know I love scallops). The burrata dish was the perfect size for me, not an app but a small plate. The hubs has a tree nut allergy so we did skip the pistachios. Both dishes were perfection but what always stands out is the service. We were fortunate enough to meet the owner our first trip out and the pride in the restaurant shows in both the owner and the servers. You can't go wrong with this Michelin star restaurant. The menu changes often which we LOVE! Always something to look forward to! read more

Get the kimchi pancakes!!! They are a popular dish and a lot of people really like them (myself included). We also got the carrot muhammara, and the mushroom plate. The muhammara with the kimchi pancakes is actually a good combo! I was surprised at how amazing the mushrooms were as well. My husband got the duck confit for his main and was very happy with it. I got the steak, medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The outside was crispy and the inside pink. We did end up asking for some salt and that elevated the brussels sprouts for me (I like things salty). The only thing my husband and I were not a fan of was the mashed potatoes. They had a creamy gravy mixed in and it wasn't a flavor we personally prefer. Overall, I think the small plates were very good. You could easily have an entire meal of just the small plates and even share them. At the end of the meal we were both very full and took most of our main course to go. Service: The staff was very attentive, knowledgable, and professional. The chef asks that all the food (except dessert) be ordered at one time and they will space it out when they bring it to you. I like this system, it made the experience much more effortless. Although, I think they are still figuring out the flow and pace of the customers because at times there was not enough space on our table for all the small plates and they were trying to help us clear off plates so that felt slightly rushed but I think it's something they will nail down soon. Atmosphere: I love the interior! It's cozy and has big windows. The furnishings are super hip and cool. I am a fan of the design. I will mention that some of the tables for two (like where we were seated) were very close to the other tables (so you can easily hear each other's conversations) if that is something that bothers you it may be a good idea to request different seating. It was not a problem for us as we were not discussing private matters but I wouldn't want to sit there for a first date or a business meeting. Parking: They have valet and cover the cost of this, so parking was not a problem. This was the case on Friday evening. read more

Our first journey to uptown since moving to North Dallas and we were very much looking forward to this one. I stumbled over this on a recommendation from a food & wine video and it looked right up our alley. We even headed out early so we could catch the Derby at the very nearby Standard Pour (such a nice spot by the way). We sauntered over right on time and it was a lovely evening to sit outside. We were seated right away near a beautifully lit tree and waited for our server......and waited.....and waited. We even heard her talking to the table next to us saying "I need to greet this table that just sat down" and she walked right by us. Eventually, she arrives, phew! She explained the menu quickly and asked if we were ready. For sure we were because will we ever see her again, so we ordered all courses and drinks at once. For the table we took her recommended hummus plate and then I chose two small plates for my entree and hubby ordered a large plate. She asked if we wanted small plate first and I said no, those are my mains, and she abruptly told me that's not a good idea, one plate will get cold while eating the other, and that the "chef knows best", so I sadly said whatever. 15 minutes later, no drinks and someone arrives with one of my small plates.....before anything. So I thought it was wrong table, nope that's ours. So I ask this person if she can check on our drinks. Drinks comes and appetizer, then the large and other small plate. The pace was ridiculously slow and our server was so rude. The food was good, so if not for this experience we would be back. I was just stunned for the level I was expecting it was far from impressive. Now we know. read more

The food was amazing with lots of flavors. I had the pork chop bowl yet the others enjoyed their as well, the shrimp salad and Italian sandwich. Our waitress was Kaelyn who was very helpful.

We visited Written by the Seasons at The Quad in Dallas last night for a birthday celebration, and it was an unforgettable experience. The modern, welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone, and the entire team & service was exceptional throughout the meal and evening. Honestly i would give it 10 Stars if i could - it was that delicious!! The food was incredible--organic, flavorful, and perfectly crafted. As a family with discerning tastes, we were impressed by the quality and freshness. Every course was a true celebration of flavor. We had a party of 8 and loved everything we ordered! We even tried every dessert on the menu, which was just as amazing. The coffee they serve was so smooth & was the perfect finale of the dinner. Highly recommend Written by the Seasons The Quad for a memorable dining experience in Dallas. We'll definitely be back! read more

A coworker recommended this spot and since it was within walking distance, I had to try it. I'm so glad I did. It did not disappoint.

Go around sunset or after dark. The open layout and ambient lighting create a great vibe. Our waiter Sam was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely come back with friends and family. read more

Food was good, but operations is very poor. Only one server at lunch who was nice but slow to take orders. Took a long time to get food given the number of customers.
