Best Live Music Restaurants in South Dallas / Fair Park

Visited Mar Y Sol for date night and we had a great experience. Started off with drinks at the bar and asked for recommendations as it was our first time; we ended up going with the hibiscus dragon and the el sabio. Both were great! Once at the table, our server, Andrew, suggested the pulpo al carbon (octopus), the yellowtail ceviche ans the tuna tiradiro, the tuna was my favorite dish of the night!! We had the parillada Argentina for our main course, which is definitely intended to be shared. The meats were tender and the sauces were flavorful. Finished the night with the pina colada crème brûle, which was served in a pineapple, so creative! We let Andrew guide our order with his recommendations and we were not disappointed. He was extremely knowledgeable, which we appreciated as foodies! Lastly, the vibes were there! From the dj to the saxophone and bongos players who walked around the dinner room, it all reminded us of Tulum. Overall, we had a great night and we will definitely be back, 10/10!

The entire experience was absolutely incredible. From the moment we walked in, the host greeted up promptly and sat us right away, then Daniel was superb. His knowledge of the menu and explanation of everything was spot on, his attitude was very professional yet very kind, and just his attention to detail is something to rave about. The food was amazing, everything perfectly seasoned and prepared to perfection. Highly recommend the Wagyu dumplings, octopus, hamachi, and of course all their steaks. Cannot wait until the next time we eat here!

Great drinks and saw a great band- Counterfeit Cowboy! Love the set up and friendly staff.

Certainly! Here’s a glowing 5-star review for Dakota’s Steakhouse in Dallas: 5 Stars Dakota’s Steakhouse is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Dallas! From the moment you descend into their stunning underground location, you’re greeted with an ambiance that is both elegant and inviting. The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. As for the food, every bite was perfection. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection, tender and flavorful, with a sear that could only come from true culinary expertise. The sides, especially the truffle mac and cheese and the mash potatoes, were the perfect complements. Dakota’s is more than a meal; it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a luxurious dinner, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend!

What an exceptional experience; food, service, and atmosphere. If you want quality Italian, La Stella is the place to go. It is going to be on the high end for price but the restaurant is worth it. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. The calamari is fantastic and their pastas are great.
