My first visit. The service was excellent. The food portions were surprisingly large. The waitress was on. She checked on our table appropriately. I also liked that I called the restaurant with questions. Someone answered and was very helpful.

Didn’t try food, but the drinks were tasty and everyone enjoyed it. It was so cute inside. My party loved the vibe and taking cute pictures. The female bartender was so sweet and funny. It was understaffed which we completely understood, waiting time wasn’t too bad. It was a great experience that made our trip to Dallas fun

Great time. Small but intimate, good view and ambiance was relaxing but there were a lot of police there (not your regular type of security)?
