It's a 1-star Michelin restaurant, so expect it to be pricey and not large servings. However, the 6-course meal was very good and did fill us up.

The scallops and potato courses were a bit too salty for our liking, but this is more for feedback and not a negative review, so I still give the restaurant a 5-star.

The restaurant is cozy and the staff was very professional.

Dan is usually my favorite bartender. But Brooke pulled a close second w the service. Gorgeous inside and out. Excellent food and drink. Over the top service. 10* if possible! I will be back ❤️

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. Their hospitality is awesome. I had Massaman curry, Tom yum soup and pha thai. All were excellent and enough portions for two adults. I would like to go again to try other menu.
If you like pad Thai then you need to try this restaurant. This the best restaurant in Nashville for Pad Thai.

My daughter’s first homecoming plans got abruptly canceled with her friends. She was so devastated, spent her own money on a dress and all. My partner sprung into action and made her reservations at The Melting Pot. I called ahead to make sure the single rose celebration add on wasn’t “too romantic” and appropriate for the occasion. She came home so excited about how much all the staff came by and complimented her dress and made it the most special evening for her. I am so very much grateful for the employees here! They sound amazing and I can’t wait to come try it all myself! Thank you from a mother of 4 girls’ heart! I am forever thankful.

Can definitely improve food quality a bit . Pakora quantity was low. Otherwise it's great restaurant. Chetan was working very hard and very polite
. Good service..
We liked the atmosphere and service, but the food quality could be better.
We went for a vegetarian buffet. That was much better than our a-la-carte order of Aloo Paratha and Veg Manchurian.
Aloo Paratha was huge but the stuffing was very limited, hence the whole thing felt pretty dry. Would recommend using more potato stuffing.
Veg Manchurian had no vegetable fillings inside the fried balls.
Buffet menu was good. They served us hot naan as well since the buffet was closing. I really appreciate that. Chole, Paneer, Rice and everything else was amazing.

Celebrated our 45 wedding anniversary dinner here. Oscar and team offered excellent recommendations for appetizers and main entree including their amazing dessert. Everything was so delicious. They were outstanding! Highly recommend you check them out.
The Quality of the fish is top notch. They weigh your portions unlike most places like this who heap healthy servings- that could be a plus or a minus- I like it as I am trying to be health conscious. You may want to hit up this spot on the weekend. We went mid-week and there is apparently one guy who makes a lot of the specials- so we weren’t able to try everything we wanted to. But the food was really good, so I’ll probably be back on a weekend to check out those specials.

Went to melting pot to celebrate my birthday weekend. Our server, Dominick, was fun to chat with and was super sweet and attentive the entire night. Food was of course delicious and I even got to take home some chocolate covered strawberries !

Worth the money. Food was delectable. Their mashed potatoes though... I dont know what they did to make it so delicious! Pairs perfectly with a seafood dish. It's definitely in their sauce. Aqua by El Gaucho. They got the sauce!

A neighborhood hidden gem, such ambiance! The barkeep gotta come to the city and learn what a "pour " is, LOL, a beautiful place for a celebration. The food was great and the staff did not let the dishes get empty b4 they replenished. They hire and train a diverse group of lively young people.

You. Must. Go.

I like Thai food and saw this place in a Google search and decided to try it out.

The packed parking lot for lunch is always a good sign. They've got a rear lot, and that was pretty full as well.

It's a funky little building with front and rear seating and cool interior decor.

Menu has plenty of options, and I went for the pork loin Pad See Ew, and it was killer. Sabrina, tabletender extraordinaire, introduced me to Garlic Vinegar and I don't think I'll be able to eat Thai without it. Game changer.

Here's the Breakdown:

Killer food served by Sabrina in a funky cool place +5 stars.

It will be a regular on my lunch rotation.

Extremely over priced and over rated. The serving person kept setting our utensils on our left hand side. Also found a thick thread of hair in our dessert.
I've never had Thai food this good before! As a vegetarian, I expected some decent options, but the quality and taste exceeded my expectations. I chose the veggie stir-fry with rice and asked for it to be spicy. I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing it turned out, and I left very happy with the meal. Thank you!
My husband took me to Aqua for a surprise Birthday dinner ♥️🥂
They gave me a cute birthday card and a birthday menu 🩷🎈
It’s a beautiful place has a lovely ambiance, food was great. I had a really good time. Will definitely visit again! ♥️

The food quality is disappointing. The chicken appetizers are excessively covered in red coloring, the samosas are filled with low-quality ingredients, and the naan is cold and chewy. The taste is just average, nothing exceptional.

We got everything vegan/vegetarian and thought that the food was very average. We did like the desserts though.

Really nice vibe in this waterfront facing restaurant and we enjoyed the live music as well!

My favorite restaurant in Coachella Valley! Salmon ceviche is outstanding and don't forget to try their unique tasty garlic bread! Had scallops last time - terrific! Also tried octopus for the first time. Had no idea how tender and delicious it was!

Such a good price for a poke bowl with 3 proteins!!!! They add as many toppings as you want and aren’t shy with the sauces. The inside is super clean with a cool bar & the staff is very friendly. Will be returning!!!

Loved the butter chicken it’s our favorite. Not too many selections for children. Atmospheres was calm but music was too loud. Water is served room temperature. We enjoyed our food and will come back to get our favorite Indian dish.

5 STAR - every dish we had was EXCELLENT!! It is unforgettably unique & flavorful.
THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME!!! We came up at 3:00 and they still let us eat the buffet. It was so good and they were so nice. I got so full and will definitely be coming back. Thank u dehli indian cuisine for the food 😊😊😊 I finished my plate upp, sorry i didn’t get a before picture but just know it was good i went for seconds. It also wasn’t that busy and it deserves way more attention. The tables are so nice and everything is clean. Quick service as well.

I had never been to the Melting Pot but a couple of the people I was with had. Our server, Sharene, was one of the best servers I have had in a long time. She was more than happy to explain everything to me and even answered my millions of questions while I was like a kid in a candy store. We also had Stephanie the GM stop by our table and she was so sweet to stop and chat with us. Overall, the service completely made the whole experience out of this world! Ask for Sharene when you go, you won’t be disappointed!!!

The required tasting menu in the Tail Up Goat dining room is a six-course meal of difficult-to-prepare and skillfully presented tasty bites that will set you back $130 per person plus a mandatory 22% gratuity (beverage pairings are available for additional cost). Despite a distinct culinary virtuosity and attention to flavors and textures, there was no real wow from the dishes, and the portion sizes were wanting compared to other tasting menus and the price charged. The wine list was quite interesting, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Markus Molitor Riesling Brut. While we appreciated the meal and service, we can't give it our highest recommendation in terms of value for price.

Pizza was amazing. We ordered Alfredo and the sauce was perfect. Crust was tender but crunchy with a slight char but didn’t have that burnt taste. Excellent texture! Definitely our new pizza spot in Carrollton.

From the very beginning to the end, Aqua is definitely the restaurant to celebrate something special tonight. Our server Simon helped us celebrate our 27 year wedding anniversary and from the table setting with rose petals to the champagne ended with the dessert of choice presented by Simone the bread pudding was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I highly recommend Going there if you have a celebration like a birthday or anniversary or you just want a very good meal 10 out of 10 and lastly, they made a special menu for us and had it custom print and laminated at the end.

Food was just fine — really enjoyed Reveler’s Hour (sister resto) so expected much more out of this being a 1 Michelin star. Food just wasn’t very interesting nor satisfying, though nothing particularly bad (though the steak was slightly overcooked and offered neither flavor nor fattiness — something at least Le Dip gets right)

I recently visited Rocks 21, and while the food was just okay, with very fishy fish and chips and clam strips that were mostly batter, the atmosphere made up for it. Once the first performer, whose songs had excessive cussing, left, the place really improved. However, the server kept forgetting to bring out our drinks, which was frustrating. The band that played afterward was amazing and brought great energy. It's a fantastic spot for happy hour or late-night live music, but I wouldn't return for dinner.

I recently dined at The Smiling Elephant in Nashville, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the place was spotless. Our waiter was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the menu. He provided great recommendations, making us feel confident in our choices.

We started with the curry mussels, which were simply amazing. The rich, flavorful broth complemented the perfectly cooked mussels. For our main courses, we split two dishes, both of which were excellent. The flavors were authentic, and the presentation was delightful. To top off our meal, we indulged in the mango sticky rice for dessert, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

Parking was hassle-free, thanks to their free parking lot, making the overall experience even more convenient. Having visited many Thai restaurants, I can confidently say that The Smiling Elephant stands out as a delicious and memorable spot.

Despite reading some mixed reviews, my visit was overwhelmingly positive. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning. If you’re looking for great Thai food in Nashville, The Smiling Elephant is a must-visit.

Tonight we celebrated a big anniversary, Laura K provided hands down the best service we have had in the years of coming to Melting Pot in Addison. Laura truly provided a special evening for our anniversary, her attention to detail, our preferences always taken into account, drinks never empty and pacing was on point to accommodate a wonderful evening spent with my husband. Her recommendations were delicious and the whole evening equated to be memorable and wonderful. 10/10!!!

The melting pot offers such fun, unique dining experience! Not something you do every day, but it is fun every once in a while! I loved the cheese fondue, and the tomato dipped in it was amazing! The chocolate fondue was very rich, but sooo good. I got rocky road and flaming turtle but with dark instead of milk chocolate, and the flaming turtle was definitely my favorite! Our waitress was so knowledgeable and really attentive also!

We love this place! It's small but mighty and every dish was delicious! I love that it's local, family owned, and the chef came out to chat with us and helped us order. Highly recommend for something fun in old Carrollton!

Wish I got more photos but before I knew it everyone was eating! We'll have to go back for more! Also, brought our own bottle of wine :)
We sat outside which was nice. Food was okay. The Chili was great but that was about all there is too go for. Seats were not comfortable at all. Had the specialty tacos which were pretty good. Other orders included fries, but we were served two different types of fries. We had food missing, and when we asked for it, didnt get it until we were leaving. We asked to get ketchup as it did not come with one of the fries, and the waiter gave it to another family who hadn't even ordered their food yet. Very Rookie mistake. Will not be back.

This is definitely one of the best restaurants I have ever had in Seattle. The appetizers: oysters and crispy calamari are really recommended. And the seafood combo is really worth the price!! Dessert is a little bit sweet for me, but still delicious.

We made reservations for a double Birthday celebration at AQUA for a Friday evening. We choose this restaurant based on the reviews and to see the sunset. Our server was Simon, and he was "okay". At times, he seemed to disappear on Us while we waited for our drinks, salads and entree. We were unclear if this was common practice as the table next to us had a different Server who was more attentive. We all choose the Caesar salad which is tossed and made directly at the table. It was "good", could have used less lemon and more anchovies and parmesan. My entree was the King Crab Legs which were 2 legs for $129. The legs were a little skimpy. We all shared the garlic mashed potatoes which were excellent. One Guest ordered the Black Cod which was "basic". My Hubby ordered the Manhattan NY strip. It was pretty small and looked very lonely all by itself on such a big plate! To our surprise, Aqua did provide us with 2 complimentary desserts for my son and his GF. They were the best part of the evening!!! NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with the area, you have to walk down the sidewalk for Aqua's entrance. There is a Valet and parking available. Overall, a great location overlooking the water, Elliot Bay Trails and the Space Needle in the distance. Disappointing, we did not see the sunset and overall is was a 4.7. Pricey for the portions.

We visited this restaurant for the first time while in Las Vegas, drawn by numerous reviews. We opted for the lunch buffet but had a terrible experience with both the food and service. Firstly, the food quality was extremely poor. The samosa had an awful taste and odor. Chicken seems rotten. I have posted some of the pictures. The white rice was undercooked and tasteless. The gulab jamun syrup had a bad taste and was watery and unpleasant. We were also concerned after having food from this restaurant because we had a child with us. They charge $23 per person which doesn’t worth at all for such a bad quality food and when we complained about the unacceptable food quality, the staff seemed indifferent and is not even accepting the fault nor they offered a replacement with good food. We spoke with other diners who shared our views; many left without finishing their meals. This experience makes me doubt the authenticity of their 4.4 rating at Google. I saw people posted similar bad experience for their buffet even many months back but looks like the owner didn’t made any change in the quality of the food. So this place is a absolutely NO GO. Please check the attached pictures and others 1 star reviews before you go here.

Had a great time and a special shout out to our server Christian (same name as my grandson). The food was DELICIOUS and the service great, not because they sent us extra drinks. But I will be definitely be going back to play 18 on the golf course

we love eating here on a nice summer night- the staff are excellent and very friendly! the menu has lots of options- definitely read the ingredients for what you are thinking of ordering. the menu has a relatively wide variety of seafoods and other dishes- and the summer drink menu is super cute! very seasonally apt. the crab dip is so good! great appetizer for the table. the watermelon salad is also so great- very tasty with pistachios, feta, red onion, cucumber, and greens. i don’t think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu- definitely check this place out! the tuna bites are interesting- the texture was not exactly what we expected, but it is something to try!

Great happy hour! Stopped for some apps with my family. The Thai wings had a yummy sauce. My husband and teen had the pretzel and nachos, which they enjoyed. The portions were good considering the cheaper price for the apps. I had a margarita which was made perfectly in my opinion. Often I pay a lot more for margaritas that are made too weak or way too strong, so I really appreciate it when they make it with a perfect balance. The view was spectacular, which made it even more enjoyable. The waitress was very friendly, attentive, and helpful as well, especially when I had questions about gluten and dairy free items.
Lowkey Poke Joint is an absolute gem that exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.

The menu at Lowkey Poke Joint is a delightful fusion of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. I opted for the build-your-own poke bowl, and I was blown away by the quality of the ingredients. The fish was incredibly fresh, the vegetables were crisp and flavorful, and the sauces added the perfect touch of zest to each bite.

What sets Lowkey Poke Joint apart is their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to accommodate any dietary preferences or restrictions. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation of each dish was impeccable.

In addition to the amazing food, the ambiance of Lowkey Poke Joint is cozy and modern, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or a quick bite on the go. The prices are reasonable considering the high quality of the ingredients and the overall dining experience.

Overall, Lowkey Poke Joint has earned a permanent spot on my list of favorite restaurants. If you're a poke lover or just looking to try something new and delicious, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Lowkey Poke Joint. You won't be disappointed!

Had such a great time hosting my cousin’s surprise bridal party dinner at the turn house!

I’ve come to the Turn house prior for Happy Hour and always had a great time so I was not surprised that the service for the event was phenomenal as well! Denise (Event Manager) was always in communication with me and Kayla (Event Coordinator) helped get everything we needed on the day of. Our servers Alec and Joshua were the best part of the event, always checking on us, over communication, giving us time checks and most importantly, help surprising the bride.

The view of the golf course was amazing even with the little bit of rain and I’m so glad the entire bridal party had such a great time.

There was another party next door, and though we could overhear them a little, it was good to know they were having a great time also!

Was so happy to find this place! The restaurant is amazing, SOOO many dining spaces from multi-level rooms to multi-level decks and gorgeous views of the seaside! The wait staff was very attentive and the food was so delicious! (The restaurant is an amazing bonus for the hotel which has other great leasure amenities like pool, basketball court, corn hole, etc.)
Went to the Chipotle. As usual parking and getting in and out are a nightmare.

It is a gorgeous place, with many tables inside and outside the restaurant. It is located by the sea, with a great view of the sunset on one side, and the Mount Rainier on the other side. It is also possible to see the Space Needle from the deck. There was a musician playing piano and the open kitchen is very cool. There's a bar, where it is possible to enjoy the music while waiting for a table. The food is also great, but a little expensive for a regular person. Me and my group went there for one last dinner before leaving the city, and we had a great time, with the ambiance and the food. Great restaurant!

The best things on the menu are the potato pave and trappist-style cheese! The food was great, but not quite worth $185 (including taxes and service fees).

The servers are amazing — friendly, accommodating, and kind. I saw a waitress ask if a customer enjoyed a course, and when he timidly admitted that he didn't, she brought him something else despite his gentle protests.

The food was seafood primarily with hispanic influence. The LA Burra burrito was a seafood mixed with risotto. Honestly it probably would be better without the burrito shell. The caesar salad was top tier as well, the right amount of caesar flavor without being overly wet. The appetizer of tajin on fruit was also a pleasant start to the meal.

The service was super friendly, attentive and kind. The staff was willing to make a couple of adjustments that I requested to the food to make it more in line with my diet, and seemed happy to do it.

Atmosphere was clean and fine. Definitely felt a little strip mall esque, which it is in a strip mall but i want to forget that I am in a strip mall.

Prices, foe lunch at least, were very reasonable. Would recommend

Really great location and event space! I had my baby shower here and reached out to there coordinator a few months beforehand to schedule it. You get to customize everything from the menu, to the table setup, and the amount of time needed. We also brought in our own decorations to set up a balloon arch! The staff made our baby shower wonderful and the food was delicious! I also think the pricing was very fair. Definitely recommend the venue for any events in the future!
I ordered the green bean noodles pad thai, rather than the rice noodles. This was on recommendation of the staff. The meal was fantastic. As good as any Thai restaurant I have been to. Spicy for some: Be sure to order the level you like. I had 3; range is 0 to 5.

The chicken is tenderloins and the taste/texture reflects that. Portion was LARGE!

One can tell this is authentic from the food, and the owners/staff. This is a fsmily-run establishment. Dainty place with decor that makes one feel they are in Thailand.
Im not rating the shops , only the experience I had with World of Beer on that day, it was a horrible and disrespectful experience.. Its just sad how some companies don't appreciate good clients who patronize their property often and bring other people as well.. Do better, appreciate all ur customers!!!!

Beautiful view on the deck. Had the sweetest very attentive staff. Food was absolutely delish. Tried the swordfish that had a Frangelico cream sauce which I never like sauce on fish...I completely devoured it it was so unique and tasty without overpowering the dish. The flatbread with peaches & prosciutto and the coconut shrimp were perfectly made. The frozen mudslide was so good. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Went there today and I can honestly say the quality of the food has gone down. They used to have the best crab dip hands down. The one I got today came out cold (they sent it back and gave me a new one) and I also tired this tuna on fried rice.... TERRIBLE save your money. They definitely should charge $18 for that 🤢 and the presentation 🗑️ it's just crazy how much they changed in 4 years. My server was the bomb food was just not it.

The atmosphere🌞is the highlight for this particular venue. Set on ⛳ golf course allows for a scenic setting. 🍽️ Dining or sitting outside, on the patio, is both relaxing and refreshing.😌 I've posted pics of our meals. Crab dip appetizer, then sauteed jumbo shrimp, 8 oz. Atlantic salmon, and a crab cake for entrees.
🍹 The cocktail with a lavender garnish is called The 🐝Beekeeper. It's made with gin, honey, lavender and lemon juice. If you like 🍋citrusy🍋 beverages then you may love this one.😉
Came here for the lunch buffet (weekday). The variety was good -- tons of veggie and meat options. The samosas were not that good and some food wasn't hot/warm enough. Other than that, the majority of dishes were great. One thing they REALLY need to fix is the fact that the buffet has a Vegetarian/Non-Veg sign (left & right) but they still had a chicken dish on the vegetarian side. That's a health code violation in the works.

Service is god awful slow and not that friendly.

All in all, a good buffet and I would go back for the food.

My first time to try. It was awesome! The cheese coarse was wonderful. The salad was great. The entrée was absolutely delicious. But the chocolate coarse was AMAZING! fruit and other treats dipped in dark chocolate! I was in heaven.
Isabell was our server, and she was outstanding.
This could be a twice a year place, but it is worth it.

We were expecting to eat a good pasta and have a good time since it was the first time trying this restaurant, but it was disappointing that the experience was not the best from the beginning. Starting with the server, his overall appearance and hygiene was not appropriate but then ordered a lasagna and the fettuccine carbonara and it tasted like microwave food. Definitely a lot of room for improvement.

I love this place! I’ve come here a few times but this is the first review I’ve done. I got the arugula Summer salad, and I cannot recommend it enough, it was absolutely delicious! We also tried the crab cakes, I only had a small piece so it might not have been the case for the entire crab cake but I did not get much crab meat, so that was a bit disappointing, but otherwise it was great! Great service and food, highly recommend stopping by!
This place is really good. I can see why they've won awards for their food! The atmosphere is warm and inviting with the wood interior and pictures of customers on the walls. We started off with the pork and bamboo bao. It is one bun and comes with a ginger sauce. The meat on the inside is very well seasoned with herbs. I got the Smiling elephant signature pad Thai. Don't let the green bean noodles throw you off. They taste really good and not like green beans. The meat was grilled nicely and everything was seasoned great. Plus, the portions are pretty big. My boyfriend got the Gai Yang. The menu here had a lot of dishes we've never seen at a Thai restaurant before and this was one of them. Apparently, it's a Laotian dish popular in Thailand. It was very tasty. The chicken and vegetables were grilled and seasoned with an earthy herb sauce on top of rice. We've never had anything like that before. We also got a honey hibiscus tea that tasted really fresh and just sweet enough without being too sweet. Overall, prices are reasonable for what you get but maybe a little higher than what I'm used to ($17 for pad Thai when I'm used to $15). Still, you have to try them out while you're in Nashville! They are worth all the hype!

Upscale food, top notch service, but the location is in need of a facelift.

I took my wife to the Melting Pot to celebrate Mother's Day, and we had a pretty awesome time!

Our waitress, McKenna, was absolutely wonderful. Very responsive, good recommendations.

We ordered the Mother's Day special, which was absolutely wonderful. I included pictures of the menu for details. We picked the loaded potato cheese course - amazing. The apple dipped in cheese was so good we asked for a little more!

Main course was also great. Having done the wine base before we opted for the classic broth, and it was a good choice for everything from fish and steak to broccoli and mushrooms.

Dessert course was hard to enjoy. It was delicious, but by then we were way too full.

We ordered a couple of mixed drinks, server's suggestions based on what we told her we liked, and they were great.

The whole meal was fantastic from start to finish.

The only complaint, and this is a small one, is that the place seems a little run down. The bathroom was basically falling apart, and little details in the restaurant seemed dated or in disrepair.

I wouldn't think twice if this was a budget option, but our check was $220 (with tip and tax), which strikes me as "upscale" for two people having a meal and two drinks. At that price, I guess I expect a clean bathroom, but perhaps I'm unreasonable in this regard.

If they update the location a bit, this would be an amazing place for a fancy date.

As is, it's still really good, just know that you're getting a fancy meal at an okay location and maybe avoid the men's room.

We went to Aqua to celebrate my birthday, and upon arrival the table was beautifully decorated with a card, rose petals, and a special birthday menu. We had a delightful dinner and everything was cooked well with my compliments to the crab. To top it off, we received a gorgeous complimentary birthday dessert.

Our server, Dimiter, was very helpful with recommendations, was very on top of anything we may have needed, and was very friendly throughout the night. He even called over another bartender for more specific whiskey recommendations.

The ambiance is exactly as it looks online, absolutely gorgeous setting, decorations, and vibes with stunning views of the sound. There was nice, live piano music playing as well.

My only complaint was the calamari starter as it had significantly more broken bread bits than meat. Had to dig for the good pieces which was disappointing.

The view outside wasn’t that pleasant. Nothing they can do about that. However, Adrian (our server) was beyond wonderful! She explained everything as we were 1st time goers. She’s super sweet and has speedy service. The food was excellent! Super fun and great tasting. This is a wonderful place for date night.
The worker put the person in front of us’ protein in our rice bowl. She scooped it off of our rice when she realized, putting it into the correct bowl. But she did not get us a new bowl of rice. OR even offer to. Luckily, the person in front of us was a coworker so we did not mind. And luckily we didn’t have a shellfish allergy (since it was shrimp). But this is something that we may have been upset about under different circumstances.
A message to the workers: Please be mindful of this in the future. Working in the food industry, I know not everyone is as forgiving as us. And allergies are a life threatening thing to consider.
Had lunch @ Chicken Salad Chick. I had the Cranberry Kelli Chicken Salad on a croissant with tomato bisque soup. Absolutely delicious & fresh tasting. Staff is friendly, efficient & helpful.
Parking is wheelchair accessible, but was at a premium when we went for lunch that day because they were extremely busy.
This place is from HEAVEN. Ever since I discovered this restaurant about two months ago, I go once a week at least. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS. It's always tasty, fresh, and juicy. $20 all you can eat Indian food cannot be beat, especially in this economy! I highly recommend Delhi Indian Cuisine. Also, the atmosphere is always peaceful and they always play great music!
Had dinner with family for my daughter inlaws birthday at Brixx Pizza. The food was good and the young lady that served us, all 11 of us. She did a great job!!
This was our first time there it was truly enjoyable food, atmosphere, service, vibe passed with flying colors would recommend to anyone and we will be back

The Chicken Francese was delicious. Buttery and lemony. Big band swing music added a cool atmosphere. Seafood Manicotti was ok, but heavy with cheese and alfredo.

We have been here before for dinner but did not realize that it was open for lunch. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The interior and the vibe transported us to Andares in Guadalajara where we have enjoyed fantastic meals in Mexico. We ordered cold chavelas then mussels with clams in a wonderful broth. Then we split the La Burra seafood burrito, the best non-meat burrito in the valley. My wife and I looked at each other with a big grin savoring each bite. We finished the lunch with coconut flan which was very good. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommend Oceana for lunch or dinner.
The flavors were amazing! Service was impeccable. Loved the decorations, like bringing the east to the west. The restaurant was also adorned with many awards that are much deserved. Best Thai I have had ever! Don't forget to ring the gong on the way out!

My eldest grandson and my youngest daughter always join me with our monthly lunch outing. This month we chose the turn house due to last month it was booked solid.

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service however we didn’t enjoy our food so much.

I had the shrimp and grits. My grandson asked me where were the grits, which I guess was due to so much gravy you couldn’t see them.

My grandson chose chicken and waffles. It came with potatoes. He didn’t enjoy anything at all. He said the potatoes were too hard where it could hurt his teeth. He just didn’t like the chicken. The waffles were too sugary.

The dish my daughter ordered was the Benedict with salmon. She said the hollandaise sauce taste like mayonnaise.

Her drink which was a mimosa taste more like a wine.

My grandson enjoyed his orange juice.

I had the sangria which was good.

I love good hospitality.

Roberto was good and Chase one of the managers checked on us initially but didn’t return.

I heard him check on the ladies sitting at the table next to ours where they were sharing their concerns to him.

Atmosphere, service, and food were exceptional. The wait for the first snack course was about 25/30 minutes but then after that the courses came in perfectly timed. The flavors were vinegar favored and also best when all of the components on the plate were combined and not eaten separately. Total comes out to about $184 a person when going with 3 people and only getting the dinner and adding the cod. Service was constant and quick. Great Michelin star experience under $200. The cod is a must add to the dinner. The snacks were amazing. The salad with the brittle spread around was amazing. The squab had a great crust and is meant to be eaten with the onion and prunes. The monkfish with the sweet potato was perfect. Cheese and deserts were good hut i recommend a coffee with them. Cheers

10/10. Went for our anniversary and they treated us like royalty. Beautiful, understated atmosphere. Did the chefs tasting menu and every bite was perfect. Squash soup, tuna tartare, and ocean trout were our favorites. Left stuffed and happy. Easy walk from red line metro too.

We had an excellent dinner. Our server Jimmy was great and helped make the experience even better. The portions are filling and taste delicious. A good place to dine at if you're visiting downtown Carrollton.

Ordered the Pokerito with the wasabi crust (WasabiRito). The crust made everything a bit more messy and didn't really add anything to the taste, so I would just stick with the plain OG version. That being said, I would rank the amount of filling that you receive slightly below the average that most poke places will serve.

They are usually not open on Sundays, but fortunately there was a private party going on and they accepted other customers like myself for a Sunday dinner.
As is clear from the menu, there is a Japanese influence like sushi rice, hijiki, tonkatsu, and kombu.
Before the appetizer, they gave me a complementary corn soup. I could taste a delicate amount of spice, which made the corn soup quite refreshing but not spicy.
I had Local Heirloom Tomato Salad for the appetizer. It consisted of soft peeled tomatoes, arugula, and Italian dressing. All ingredients were very fresh and tasty.
Then I had Pepperred Rare Tuna with Hijiki and Sushi Rice for the entree. The outside of tuna was seared like tataki. It came with a ceviche-like sauce and the hijiki veggie that made it feel like a rightful translation of Japanese maguro don (tuna on rice) into a creative new American dish. The seasoning could have been slightly blander for me, but I would still be happy to recommend it to anybody.
The dessert was the Baked Chocolate “Sabayon”. It is an Italian dessert and is like a chocolate soufflé topped with chocolate ice cream and caramel cookies. It takes 20 min to cook but it’s worth it for anyone who loves chocolate.
The check comes with an automatic 23% gratuity on the before-tax bill (with the 10% DC food and beverage tax, it’s 1.33 times the listed price). I would totally come back to try more items on the menu.

It was our first time trying out Rock 21. We sat outside, stunning views. There was live music on which we weren’t aware of, it was a pleasant surprise. The waitress Carolina misheard us when we ordered two mocktails “gunners” and bought out two “Guinness beers” instead. I felt we were rushed at the end. Our table was booked for 1.5hours. The bill came out before we had even finished our mains. Despite these minor disappointments, the food was amazing! We shared a pretzel with cheese as a starter. I was really impressed by the presentation. The waitress was attentive and brought out more cheese sauce when requested. Soon after, the mains came out. We ordered pork ribs and a rock 21 beef burger. The portions are huge. The toilets /restrooms were okay, but it’s a maze to find them. I suggest perhaps put out little signs to show where they are. There’s outdoor parking and outdoor games. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely come back again.
So flavorful with so much texture. One of the better meals I’ve ever had. So much variety in the flavor and texture it’s truly marvelous. I didn’t think it could get better than Pokeworks but this place is so good. So delicious. Check it out
Italian Bakery is just too good. Went in for one item and left with a bag full. Service is always great. Staff makes you feel that they are happy to have your business.
This is my husband & I’s go to Poke place!!! Every time we have to drive down to Dallas this is our ~spot~ either going down or coming back because we literally get cravings for this poke place.
It’s a cute little fast casual spot but the quality of the food here is beyond that of any other poke places & trust me… we’ve tried PLENTY.
They have a very decent protein to bowl ratio, the sauces are so very flavorful (plus they give you the freedom to mix and match sauces), the toppings are always fresh & given in abundance. At the very end you are left with a bowl piled high packed to the max with ingredients, textures and flavors. Always happy to visit and always leave very full & happy that we came.

We went for a birthday celebration and decided to do the Chef's Tasting Menu, which includes a 5 course meal AND dessert. Every course was ABSOLUTELYDELICIOUS! From the soup to the dessert, I can't say enough about how each course was well prepared and satisfying.

The ambiance and customer service were top notch. We went when it first opened, so it was steady, but not crowded.

If you are a foodie like myself and enjoys fine dining, go ahead and make your reservation. You will not be disappointed.

Top Tier restaurant and very exclusive. If you are looking for fine dining, this is the place. Staff was wonderful and treated us like royalty. Food was delicious. Came for my birthday and would surely come back! No complaints at all and not too expensive. Just make sure you set a reservation early!
I went to the Chicken salad chick oh this is my favorite place in town to eat at going back today.
I always get the Fancy Nancy Chicken salad and sometimes the soup but that's because of my name. But it's great because the fruit in the chicken it's so wonderfully put together like art!

I thought this is one of the best seafood restaurant I've ever eaten at. Compared to other more well known seafood restaurants, I would say the food is better than all of them. The location is in a typical strip mall which probably turns some people off, but don't let that persuade you. I had the 7 Oceanas which is like tomato soup and it was great with a very large portion. It's a tad bit spicy. The coconut flan for dessert was also great. Two bags thumbs up.

This is a dainty restaurant with a nice ambience. Our server was friendly and professional. We ordered their red snapper, which was good. Their garlic bread was soft, warm, and yummy. And, the Chipotle Shrimp had a nice kick to it. However, the Spanish octopus was tender but ULTRA salty. And, their Hibiscus Margarita was different but not too flavorful. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the food with an exception of one or two dishes. And mind you, there was a whopping 20% service charge added to our bill!!

We held a wonderful surprise dinner last Friday. The food was delicious and prepared nicely, compliments to the chef! The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for our birthday celebration and the staff was phenomenal, especially Natasha!!! Everything was amazing!
Thanks to Corduroy for making Friday a special night.
GREAT OUTING with kids & husband!

A little expensive though which is why I gave a 4 star.

Great helpful staff.

We did the painting an object.

So here is the deal. I got a dinner for 2 valued at $120 thru Verizon up program. After making the reservation I took my wife and we went to the restaurant. The restaurant is very nice and quiet with low lighting, it has a modern look to it. The lady who greeted us was super nice and gave us our Verizon up menus. Then came the server. When she saw we had Verizon up menus she looked not so happy. She never introduced herself. She took our order. I ordered green salad that was great. Then Flat iron steak with mushrooms for main course ( she never asked what sides I wanted when the plate can it had potatoes and green beans on it). I did not want to make a scene but anyway the food was excellent. Kudos to the Chef. Then came dessert it was Pistachio bread pudding, which was delicious. Other then the server being standoffish and not coming to check on us the restaurant was beautiful and the food was great.

Tried the regular sized poke bowl (which is actually quite big in quantity). The Bootea rice is pretty flavorful. The number and the quantities of toppings are pretty good. I could taste the freshness of each of the toppings. This Poke bowl is amongst the top ones I have had. The service is top scale as well.

They have a pretty decent bar as well and a good selection of drinks.
