Best Cozy Restaurants in West Dallas

Great food and service the carne asada was delicious drinks amazing as well

I had the pleasure of dining at Nuri, and it was nothing short of amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish exceeding expectations. The staff provided excellent recommendations that perfectly complemented the flavors and ambiance. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Special shoutout to Gideon, our server, who truly elevated the experience with his friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and deep knowledge of the menu. If you’re looking for a place that offers great food, exceptional service, and an unbeatable atmosphere, Nuri is the place to go. I can’t wait to return for a third time!

The Charles never disappoints! They always take incredible care of us, and last night was no exception. Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name!) was hands down the best server I’ve ever had in Dallas—so attentive, charming, and genuinely delightful. He made our experience unforgettable. As for the food, it’s perfection every time. The spicy shrimp pasta has to be my favorite dish in Dallas—bold flavors, perfectly cooked, and just the right amount of heat. I could eat it every day! The Charles has mastered the art of creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere while delivering top-notch service and food. We’ll be back again and again!

We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.

Best birthday dinner I have ever had! The ambiance the food the service everything was 5 star. I will be back!
