On a tip from Frances G I tried the veggie dumplings, they were wonderful, they even stayed good after an hour car drive, I just popped them into the oven to crisp them up some. Also tried the Tom Yum soup the first time there. With that said, the second time I came in it was equally as wonderful, in fact more so. They have a wonderful selection of craft beers, wines, and ciders. I spotted an $8 bottle of Crispin Artisinal Reserve "The Saint'. It was fabulous. My girl had the thai tea which she enjoyed. We started off with the avocado crab rolls and the disappeared in less than a minute!  I honestly don't remember what we had for entrees but it was very good. The owner is really nice and personable and was more than happy to discuss with us anything about the menu. Will be back again and again!

Great experience! Party of 6 was handled well by the service staff, even though we were the last ones to be eating there that night. Lets start off with the drink selection. Amazing! Even for my pregnant girlfriend they had a wide selection so she went with the draft Kombucha tea, and I had a Crispin, on draft! We skipped the appetizers and went straight for the main course. I had the Braised Short Ribs w Pomegranate BBQ Sauce. It was tender, a bit tart with the bbq sauce, and delicious! I subbed out the traditional sides and paired it with the broccolini  & cauliflower mash that comes with the smoked salmon. AMAZING! My girlfriend had the burger with sweet potato fries, she really liked it and had it for a snack later that night. Everyone else seemed to be pleased with their meals, heard lots of oooohs and mmmmms! We topped off the evening with a pint of Magic Hat which is a favorite of most of my friends. I like how all of the draft prices are 5 dollars, makes things much easier. Only draw back is the weird valet stand....not sure why I need to valet here.

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I called ahead for a party of 4 and was told that there were no reservations, but to come in anyway around 8:00 and they would have a table for us no problem. The customer service from every staff member was warm, interesting, and inviting! I love the decor, talk about turning trash into treasure, as I think this was just a run of the mill Dairy Queen once before. The sign out front is simple and so is the decor inside, but the food and drinks POP with flavor and texture! My girlfriend got the Pimms cup and loved it, it was her first and I think it got her hooked! The owner gave us a complimentary salmon skins to start off with, which was the appetizer we were gonna get anyway so we were pleasantly surprised to gobble it down no problem. The layers of flavor and texture in this dish were amazing, creamy, crispy, smoky and a little fishy! Spot on! Next we split Texas Kobe Flank Steak with Bacon Jus. We split the item and with the Salmon Skins it was the perfect amount of food before a night out! We got out the door with a healthy amount of alcohol and hearty delicious cuisine for 50 bucks! The owner thanked us very warmly as we left, we will be back AGAIN and AGAIN!

I hate to do this to this place, but the only star we are giving is for the service. My lasagna came out cold to the touch in the center the first time, no big deal, so I asked for it to be heated up. The second time it came out it was hot in one spot but lukewarm at best in the rest...I was very disapointed, especially with the manager knowing exactly what had happened, I still had to pay for it! I expected at least a refund on that item. Our waitress, who was new, had no fault and did the best she could. The owner explained that the breaker kept flipping or something, but still, why doesn't the kitchen manager or whoever make sure the cooks are checking temperatures? I don't like to write negative reviews, but I was very unsatisfied. The ceaser salad however was very good.

Found this place on yelp and I was sure glad I did. We came in not knowing what to expect really, but left loving the spin that Guatemalan's put on street food. The owner was nice enough this give us a complimentary Guichita which is like a hamburger with chimichurri sauce and I think a little cheese, it was marvelous, with a crispy house baked bun. The bread here is amazing. Nexy, we moved on to street tacos, 5 for 5 dollars which is a December special I gather. Got a mixture of the 3 different meats for me, the girlfriend and her son. We next moved on to ordering another Guichita combo with very delicious fries that were golden brown and crisp on the outside, and the crispness seemed to lock in the temperature of the fries. Next, my girlfriend had the Pepita which is a sandwhich with meat, fried onions, avocado , and black beans. It was wonderful. Next I had the Majorra  Frita, which is a small tropical fish, it was also delicious especially the crispy skin. The Jamaica drink was also very good, I believe it has hibiscus in it. I will be back for sure the service was friendly and personable. What a gem! Oh yah all of this with 2 mexican litre cokes for 25 bucks. Bam!

Came here for some Dr Woods Black soap and found that I needed a bunch of other things too! Also picked up some raw local honey, some callous stuff for my toe, some raw maca powder, organic frozen raspbrries, and two types of tea. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I will surely be back again!

Great place to live so far! I've been here 1 full year now and I love it! The staff are always extremely prompt to execute my maintenance requests.  Tasks are usually completed within a day or two.If you are looking for a quiet, cozy place to live in Dallas tucked in to a very green, tree filled neighborhood located right next to major transportation arteries than this place is for you. The pool isn't fancy and neither is the workout room but it perfect for me...I love my little corner of the universe.

Unpretentious, varieties of music every night, electronic, hip hop, rock, anything really. They usually have a band downstairs and them some kind of DJ music upstairs. Some friends of mine do Thursday nights there and its booty shaking house/nu disco/ & techno. Cheap drinks and friendly service!

First time ever eating Indian food. I came in at about 9:30 on a Thursday just before close, however I was treated  with patience and attentiveness. I didn't really know what to expect except that there was some hot n sour soup which sounded delicious from the website. I loved it, in fact I ordered a second bowl after I had eaten my entrees. They brought out some kind of crispy bread in the beginning with fennel seeds in it along with some tomato w onion and 2 kinds of sauces. I also loved the chili paste to put into my soup. I ordered the fish kollwadda for my entree along with garlic stuffed naan and mogalai paratha which had lamb in it. I loved everything and I washed it down with a fresh Masala Chai. The lassi yogurt drinks look good have to try that next time. I was out the door for 25 bucks. I will definitely be back!

Fan freaking tastic...I ordered the BBQ pork taco and for 3 dollars I was not expecting the behemoth that I received.  The meat was very flavorful and all the other ingredients provided a great texture and sourness and just perfect. I also had a banh mi..It was my first one ever and it was amazing. I loved the carrots and onion how they were pickled and crunchy and the chicken was flavorful and the jalapenos were crunchy and provided a nice kick. The bread was wonderful and the mint lemonade was also delicous.
