Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Dallas East

For so long I grieved the loss of The Grape. And when I found out a new restaurant would take its place I knew it would have to be something amazing. Only Sister could be the follow up we all were hoping for! From the friendly greeting when we walked in, switching the napkin out depending on the color of the pants. The amazing cocktails, delectable Focaccia, meatballs, pastas, steak, broccoli and THOSE CARROTS. Best carrots in the area!! It was all so delicious and Taylor cared for us all so well! Our favorite place to celebrate friendship and life. Thank you for always making not just the experience and ambience fabulous, but to the kitchen staff that makes all the food - the real Hero’s!

We made a reservation about a month in advance (the furtherest out they’ll allow you to make reservations) for Valentine’s Day, and it did not disappoint! We arrived approximately five minutes before our reservation time and they sat us immediately. Even though every table was filled for a busy night of service for the holiday, our waitstaff was responsive and helpful. The food itself was also amazing and well priced. While everyone can and should expect the steak to be good (it was cooked perfectly and was fantastically tender), the standout surprise was just how good their rustic artisan bread was! I could live off nothing but that and butter like a European peasant of old. I was also a bit nervous about the “secret sauce” as a particularly picky eater, but found myself loving even that. I ordered it on-the-side without issue, and found myself pouring it over my steak in no time. It was a great experience! Even the dessert was delicious. I got a sundae while my wife got the apple pie. She told me it was one of the best she ever had, and my sundae (after the mountain of whipped cream) kept including unexpected, but welcome, surprises. I believe they were beads of chocolate covered crisped rice (think Crunch bars) and, I think, chocolate peanuts. So - be careful if you have a nut allergy because I’m not sure if they disclosed that anywhere, but luckily I was able to fully enjoy it. Bottom line: Completely worth it, and if I’m in the Dallas area again (and remember to make reservations), I’ll surely be back!

The Valentine special menu 5-course dinner was superb in every way. Each course was beautifully plated, professionally served, and provided a wonderful mix of flavors. We enjoyed it from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Dining here made us want to visit New Zealand for more fantastic food!

Celebrating a birthday at this restaurant was an unforgettable experience. The server went above and beyond to make the birthday guest feel special, adding a touch of magic to the evening. The delicious food, coupled with the festive atmosphere, made for a perfect birthday celebration.

We’d heard from a few friends how great MHB is, finally tried it last night. We were blown away by the food and drinks! The rice cake appetizer was savory and interesting with the contrast from the lettuce. Octopus app had some of the most tender octopus we’ve experienced, the prep also gave it a wonderful flavor. For entrees we had the short rib- super tasty, tender, and the potato crusted halibut. The lemongrass sauce with the halibut was so good we were contemplating licking the serving dish! My wife proclaimed her lemon drop the best she’d ever had except for when she makes them herself, and my martini with Roku Gin was great. We’ll be back!
