   Food was excellent, service was good pertaining to food service except the waiter was ver nervous about granting a request for the music to be turned down a bit for dining…it was so loud, we had to switch tables, but it was still very loud at the table we ended up at. The waiter said he could not turn music down a bit because owner woukd not have it…that is the way it was period, like just deal with it. We were there to enjoy great food with friends and have a normal conversation, not yell across the table only to appease, what appeared to be the staff to keep them energized while serving and cooking. After all, it was only 5:30 in the evening as we were trying to get to an event at The Liberty, and it felt like a full on rock concert. Unfortunately, we probably won’t be back because when we go out with friends, we are there to visit & enjoy excellent food and wine (which the food & wine were excellent)…not scream so we can hear one another, only to be told “nope, can’t do that”). Reminder, the customer still comes first, even in 2023. We were not made first, and neither were the other patrons dining…maybe the speak easy is the place for the louder music…just a thought.

   The Buratta was exquisite!! If you wanted to come in and just have a light snack like meal for two over wine, it would be perfect!! The Mac n cheese is gold in a bowl!! The perfectly cooked pasta and handpicked cheeses make for the perfect casin high! The Ceasars salad with the duck aioli is superb! The perfect topping for fresh crisp lettuce! Now for the main course, the Delmonico steak. When I tell you it is worth every penny per pound I wholeheartedly mean it. In fact it is a steal for the quality you will not find anywhere else within 100 miles!!!! I asked for the best steak and I am not disappointed!!! You absolutely have to eat dessert!!! I insist on it adamantly!!! The lemon pound cake is a dreamlike experience you'll never want to end!! On top of everything we tasted, the staff was next level!! They were very attentive and by far the best service we have received in as long as I can remember!!! We will most definitely be back!! Thank you all so much for an unforgettable experience!!! Now the real secret of this place, you'll have to figure out for yourself. I can't give you all the answers. All I can day is the answers are there if you know where to look.

   This restaurant is so unique, very intimate, and yet very alive because of acoustics and the level of music, perhaps a little loud to hear the waiter. The food was great, very timely service by a very pleasant waiter.

   We had eaten there before and had a lovely experience. Our waiter helped us with menu suggestions and wine selection. Our waitress last night must have just come over to Culture ETX from a stint at Whataburger. Hostess was surly and not the least bit welcoming. Food was good enough but one of our group did not like seafood and the menu was very heavy into seafood. Most likely we will not go back which is a shame!

    We waited 45-50 minutes for our two entrees. The red snapper was dry like it had been ready for a while. It was our first time at ETX. Not sure we’ll be back.

    We had been to Culture ETX several times over the past couple years, but had not been since they expanded the menu and got their liquor license. They now have an extensive, impressive list of wines, craft beers, and cocktails. The service was friendly and attentive. And the food was AMAZING!! The French fries might be the best we’ve ever had…super thin, hand cut, crispy…so yummy. We all decided that we could go back and make a meal out of the fries, alone. Just one recommendation… you must have a reservation. We made our reservation for 4 several days in advance, because the last few times we tried to make reservations , they were completely booked up 1-2 days in advance.

    Half of the menu was unavailable, it was tiny and loud and uncomfortable. A good scene for young people.

    Culture ETXResponded on February 1, 2023You didn't even dine here, you were marked as a no-show in the guestbook, and we were most certainly NOT out of anything on the menu. Not certain how you were even allowed to post a "review."

    Had dinner again last night and everything was fabulous as usual! From our favorite waiter Kyle to the awesome playlist of 80s music our dinner was perfect. Excellent Caesar salads, perfectly cooked duck and salmon , and of course our favorite side of Mac and cheese; this restaurant is doing fantastic and can’t recommend it enough !

    Wow! The range of flavors and textures emerging from an extremely efficient open kitchen dining room are unrivaled in the area. No slackers on staff. We started with the shishito pepper appetizer warm kale salad then enjoyed the salmon and tuna entrees paired with the roasted vegetables and amazing macaroni and cheese side dishes. The winelist is complete and outside ordinary you find in other establishments. Topping it off we savored Lebanese baklava well garnished with a fig drizzle. Now the beer, wine, cocktail and distilled libations portion of the menu leave nothing out. We finished off the evening at The Plaid Rabbit Speakeasy just through the hidden door when you give the secret password. This is a total experience you have to look forward to enjoying so book your reservation ahead and be on time. You will have a truly wonderful time.

    One of Tyler’s best. The menu is diverse enough for everyone and our food has always been very good. This visit was a tad disappointing, hence my 4 star review rather than 5. They didn’t have several menu items including my favorite that I had been looking very forward to. A second choice was good, but not great. Equally disappointing was they were out of many wine selections by the bottle. It was a bit comical as almost every wine I asked about, they were out. The substitutions we were offered were not as good as those on the wine list we have previously tried. None of that, however, will dissuade us from visiting again soon. Based on our experience, you might want to look at the menu online and call ahead to see if they are going to have your favorite. You will not be disappointed in the quality of your meal or the overall ambience.

    Culture ETX offers high quality menu options, excellent food and attentive service. Given this kind of food offering and the cost, the atmosphere was a bit casual for my taste. My dining partner said it had the feel of a Boston restaurant. Having said that, I will be back. As noted the food options, prep and tastiness of the food, paired with the very observant, attentive and solicitous service were a pleasure to experience.
