I have attended two parties here and they were absolutely amazing! The decor is super nice and I…read moreloved it as soon as I walked in. The servers were so attentive, food was excellent and the DJ was on point. The stage is in the center and you get a great view where ever you sit. Both parties had great entertainment too! Highly recommend.

Rocket Center is a good sized venue nestled in North Oak Cliff on Cockrell Hill. I recently visited…read moreRocket Center for a quinceañera and had a good time. The dance floor is big enough for a good sized group of people to get their boogie on and not bump into each other, plus it's big enough for a nice cumbia going round and round (a must at a quince). With venues like these, you always worry about the HVAC situation. Well, no worries here. Rocket Center was a nice, cool temperature despite the Texas heat raging outside and the large crowd of people inside. Rocket Center was a hidden gem of a venue and I would definitely return for another quince here.

Had a 50th Anniversary Event here on March 30th and it was Absolutely Perfect! Aguilar Events has…read moregot this event planning stuff down! The venue was great-well maintained, good location, staff was wonderful, and the event went off without a hitch. Every part of my experience from contract to clean-up was exceptional. Maria is an Absolute Gem - very responsive and experienced! She made the planning process painless. She is very knowledgeable, very organized and knows what she is doing. She has an artistic vision that will help you and your decoration crew get the best decor for your event and she is amazing at adding the finishing touches. Also, I loved that I could bring in my own food and drinks if you want too. It's so hard to find a nice venue that doesn't force their food/drink options on you. Aguilar Events has an offer to provide food and drinks if you want to purchase but it's not mandatory, so it's a win/win! I chose their food catering which comes with a wait staff. By the way, if you elect their food catering, they provide a food tasting for you. The bartender and margarita machine were included in my package and I did beer/wine from Total Wine & More, 3 tier cake from Sam's Club and assorted cupcakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes. As far as the price goes, it's very expensive but you get what you pay for! All and all, it was an Awesome Wedding Anniversary Celebration...... in part because of Maria and her attention to details. I would strongly recommend this venue to anyone - it's worth every penny.

Every time I go here, either hosting a birthday party or just to free my mind and paint, the staff…read moreis always so welcoming, sweet and nice. The items to choose from are from cups to bowls and even nice magnets that can be gifted to others. The prices are very reasonable and they always do a great job explaining the process and helping us out. Recently my mother hosted a birthday for my little sister and it was a blast. They held more than 11 people and did a great job glazing our paintings in 1hr. We had the other hour to eat pizza that we provided although they have variety options that includes cake and pizza as well, we just didn't choose that since we had custom made cakes and other items. The birthday was a blast and successful, everyone was really astonished by the outcome. Thank you Creative Hands for making that experience fun!

They have many different rooms, but most if not all gave off the rustic/farmhouse vibe. I love that they have 2 outdoor areas (lower level and upper level) with fire pits! The upstairs of the venue has a cute little speakeasy vibe (you walk into the room through a doorway hidden behind the bookcase). The main floor has a large stage, and plenty of room for events.

Ok, My first time in Texas and first time at this track. May I preface by saying, my family are…read morehorse racing owners and breeders on the west coast. That being said, my expectations were a bit hit and miss here. But mostly a fantastic experience. I love that it's exquisitely beautiful and very clean. I love that staff is formally dressed to impress! Collared shirts and all, it allows the guest experience to feel better. The cream of the crop though is the trumpet guy. He was everywhere and making people feel really special, by playing and getting the crowd to sing, he's really magnificent. A stand out to all other tracks, as nobody has what he does! The aircon is fabulous, so you can feel comfortable the entire day! The food service stations were helpful and nice all great! Each employee has a specific job , so nobody will help you if it's outside their job we discovered, as in helping find seats, getting programs, where's the ice cream, where do we enter for premium parking? All questions we had a tough go of. I wish there were umbrellas out front for shade, I wish more tables and chairs ground level inside, I wish there was a pony station to pet the ponies? But no. Another surprising thing I saw was a pony rider, while waiting on the track, smoking a cigarette! One cinder flick in the air onto a horse or person is not safe at all. Am really shocked this is allowed. Totally loved the "car wash" to the side for the horses who just finished, what a treat to see and treat for the horses, people say they love it. Could be good for marketing! Speaking of which, in my week there, most locals where I went, grocery restaurants gas stations didn't know that track existed! It's a marketing thing but maybe big Texas track doesn't need the money, not sure. Houston has the very best marketing team. Perhaps get some pointers! Now, this is by far another best, the track announcer! He's really the best, he talks loud enough and slow and has the most kind and caring voice of all. Most track announcers act like they've had ten gallons of coffee, not this guy, he's like everyone's loving grandpa! He keeps everyone up to the minute, and we just happed to be there with the inclement weather closure and the race collision and he was cool as a cucumber! Another one of a kind. And then lastly, security. Top notch, they make sure you are accounted for with proper ID and all, it likely any horses here will be tampered with or stolen, fat chance! And the outriders, again top notch safety, they secured the loose horses that fell super quick, they are constantly on the lookout for safety, getting ponies in line organized for each race, for a guest it looks so well organized! Sorry such a long read, but loved it here and wanted to share and hope this helps others who wish to spend the day or more here, it's so so fun! A MUST DO WHILE IN DALLAS!

We had a great night at Silks. This was our first time visiting. There was a mix up with the table…read morewe had reserved but they made it right immediately. It wasn't super busy so it was an easy fix. Pay attention to where you're seated if steps are an issue. All of the food in the buffet was very good. There was a carving bar with prime rib and turkey. There was a make to order pasta bar. And salad bar. Plenty of food and you could graze all night. I think the buffet close just before the second to last race. Non alcoholic be enrages were included. Our waiter wasn't that attentive once he knew we weren't drinking from the bar. But we did ask for a carafe of soda and it all worked out. Will definitely visit again.
