Best Seasonal Restaurants in Design District

Great spot for a date night! Cool vibe, awesome service, and good food. Definitely worth it!

Here’s a concise review for you: Afternoon Tea at The Ritz-Carlton The experience was elegant, with excellent service and a refined atmosphere. The sandwiches were fresh and well-prepared, offering a great balance of flavors & I would have love more generous portions . However, the desserts were just okay—nothing particularly memorable. While the presentation was lovely, the taste didn’t quite match the high expectations. Overall, a pleasant experience, but the pastries could be improved.

Thank you for making this evening an amazing one for us. When I initially booked my reservation I didn’t know if we had to reserve a table upstairs as it wasn’t an option for me. We showed up and thought we were going to be seated upstairs, but was informed at the front desk that we had patio seating. I was somewhat disappointed. As we sat in the bar area dispirited, we were approached by the manager. I believe he was. Long story short, he went above and beyond to ensure that we had upstairs seating and it all turned out to be an unforgettable experience for us. Thank you kind sir! Your work did not go unnoticed. Sorry I didn’t catch your name, but we really appreciate what you did. We will always dine here again whenever we are back in Dallas. I’ll remember to reserve my table upstairs next time. 😊

Mussels were excellent as always - sad twinge to realize it may be the last taste now that this gem is closing. Chopped salad and redfish were great. Bread pudding was out of this world. This is such a GREAT place! Another victim of corporate greed. I will miss y'all Meddlesome Moth! I know it will be hard to replicate elsewhere because some of the charm is embedded in the structure. But I hope you try. Vaya con Dios!

First off, great food and service. There are two valets, one for tango room and the other for carbone, we accidentally used the one for tango, but the valet didn’t make an issue of it and took the car anyways. Upon entering, there truly is no difference between carbone and vino other than limited menu and decoration. The “two different restaurants” are split by large potted / fake plants. I suppose the distinction allows for quicker service (for what is known as an already slow spot) either way the food was good. Bar is a typical mainstream bar. If you are a tequila aficionado, best they have is Lalo (from what I saw from my seat without getting up and studying the bar) and if you are reading this, 1942 and Clase Azul is NOT good tequila. But their wine list is expansive. If you’re in to that. We took a pizza to go for Super Bowl Sunday. Our waitress, who I think was named Mackenzie was amazing. And our bar back / second server was a Hispanic female that was also very attentive. Also, don’t let the “business casual” dress code listed fool you. There were people there with fresh off the golf course attire, men with By Way of Dallas bomber jackets and jeans / collar shirt throughout. Just don’t look messy and you should be fine getting in.
