Cru is one of our “go-to’s”. One of the nice things is you can go thrifty or you can go big. Thursday we went big and enjoyed a lovely champagne and several food sharing options. All very tasty. Service from Norman was first class. We will be back soon.

Born from a need for a good martini and a slice of pizza, Poco Fiasco is a rowdy yet refined environment perfect for quick lunch, date night, night cap, or a long night out with friends.

The lively spot brings elevated pizza combinations to Dallas as well as a robust martini program. Guests can look forward to foldable slices and crispy outer crust, the best martinis in town, and interiors that are a clash of relaxed sophistication and rowdy elegance.

Excellent service. Automatic 20% tip added to party of 5. Fresh food served attractively, ready for our use. It was fun to prepare bites with our fondue sticks. Good interactive dining encourages discussion with dining partners. Food was darn yummy; we had the 4-course meal option: cheese fondue, salad, main course and dessert. Many options for main course. Located in happening area of Dallas in lower/lowest Greenville Avenue where there are a ton of bars, restaurants, and people-watching. Slightly older restaurant interior could use an update…or is part of its charm. Costly, but a splurge for special occasions. Nicely served by all waitstaff who helped clear plates, kept water glasses filled, produced to go box. Bartender brought by complimentary champagne for birthday person and all of those in our group. Get a discount coupon on Groupon. A positive, memorable dining experience.

Service was good. Our server was very polite and friendly. Food was presented well. I was surprised to see that I only received 100 dining points, when it was advertised at 1,000?
