Best Restaurants for Groups in North Dallas

I went to The Mercury dinner with an out-of-town "foodie" guest . The Mercury is one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. We were seated in the overflow room which was quiet. The food was fantastic (we split the fois gras and beet salad appetizers, I had the pepper-crusted tuna and he had the black cod). However, we were both disappointed in the service. At one point during the meal, someone reached down to snatch my dinner plate off the table when I was clearly still eating. When I stopped him, he asked, "Oh, are you still working on that?" which I consider to be an unprofessional way of asking someone whether or not they are "still enjoying their meal". More surprising was when the waiter brought the check to the table after we finished the main course without ever inquiring whether we were interested in dessert or anything else (e.g., coffee). This was not the quality of service I expect at The Mercury which has always been top notch in my experience.

Great as usual No issues with staff and food. Mgr checked on us several times during our visit . First time this has ever happened

We always love eataly. We got the rucola salad, rigatoni, and lasagna. We also had a limonata and a scoop of strawberry sorbet for my birthday. It was a lovely meal. Took a while to get our check but other than that, we had a fantastic time.

Service was amazing and we asked to switch tables and it was accommodated so easily and staff was great!

Booths are way too close on the left side of the restaurant. Can’t sit without kicking the person across from you or overlapping feet during your meal
