Knox Bistro
2023 May 09
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Knox Restaurant for brunch and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, with cozy booths and charming decor that set the stage for a memorable meal.
But what really made my experience stand out was our server, Will. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy, offering great suggestions from the menu and checking in on us frequently without being intrusive.
Speaking of the menu, there were so many delicious options to choose from, it was hard to decide! I ended up trying the appetizer of the day, soup&sandwich, mussels and pavlova and it was good.
Overall, I highly recommend Knox Restaurant for brunch, and especially recommend requesting Will as your server. He really went above and beyond to make our experience special. Thank you Knox Restaurant for a wonderful meal!
Union

If you're a coffee lover in Dallas, Union is a must-visit spot! The outdoor seating area is the perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of joe or catch up with friends over a delicious latte. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the coffee is simply amazing - every sip is a flavor explosion. Union also has a great selection of pastries and snacks to pair with your drink, making it a one-stop-shop for your caffeine fix. Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly and always happy to chat about their latest brews. If you're looking for a coffee shop with a great outdoor space, Union is the place to be!
Arenal volcano is a beautiful and historic natural landmark. Although it has been dormant since 2010, the volcano still offers a lot to see and do. The surrounding area is a popular destination for hiking, hot springs, and other outdoor activities. The Arenal Volcano National Park is well-maintained and offers great opportunities for nature photography. The park staff is also friendly and informative. A visit to Arenal volcano provides a unique and educational experience for anyone interested in geology and natural history. Even though the volcano is not active the views from the observation deck are still impressive and the area around the volcano is a must-see for those visiting Costa Rica.

This is my to go place for a nice afternoon tea with my ladies, for a late afternoon drink or for a cup of hot tea with dessert after a nice dinner with friends.
Classy, cool, artistic decoration. Great staff!kind, attentive and helpful.
I haven’t tried the food but the afternoon tea snacks are amazing! Same for the desserts and the tea quality.
My favorite thing about this place is definitely the tea sets!

This place is a hidden gem. The food and service is outstanding. From host to servers, all the staff were absolutely lovely, professional and helpful. The lovely Turkish bartender lady made us amazing cocktails.
Exceptional drinks, apps, dinners and desserts. I went there with my non-Turkish friends and I didn’t know the restaurant is owned by a Turkish chef until we arrived to the restaurant. So it was a proud moment for me to find out this great Mediterranean restaurant has Turkish touches. We will come back! Highly recommended.

We ordered: mixed meze platters (hummus, tzatziki, circassian chicken tarama, muhammara, fava spread and assorted boreks), MANTI(steam minced beef dumplings topped with yogurt and tomato sauce), Sultan’s Delight (mix grilled Adana, lamb chop, lamb shish and chicken kebabs), Kalamari, grilled octopus, Ceviche, Bar steak and mixed desserts.
Favorite: grilled octopus ( melting in my mouth)
