    We always have a 5 Star experience, but tonight was off! We did have a group of 12, but the service was extremely slow. It took over 20 minutes to receive the first round of drinks. Half of our table received their food ten minutes after the other half was delivered. Despite this experience, we will return.

    The food was incredible and reasonably priced, for Dallas. I could have eaten a whole bowl of the sauce alone. Cocktails are delicious and well priced, but I wish they offered more wine by the glass. I highly recommend!
