Espresso Martini
Alison B.

The weather was great so my dog and I grabbed a patio table. A server said hello, but it was actually about 20 min or longer until someone took my drink order and received water. I ordered the espresso martini. It was good, but just be aware heavy on the espresso and very strong. I had the scrambled egg & cheese sandwich with fries & a side of ranch. The sandwich was good but I felt could have had more egg inside. The fries were excellent and crispy with a great seasoning! The ranch was very bland and obviously no or light on the buttermilk. I got the poblano cream soup to go for dinner and it was awesome, especially dipping the bread that came with it. Parking is limited and mostly a valet service. I would go back again and try something different.

Poblano Cheddar Soup + Grilled Steak Pane Aria
Christie N.

Upon walking in, I was wowed. It's a really nice spot and I love the luscious greenery patio. The interior has a rustic industrial style design. I sat towards the back by the glass walls where you can look out. It's a cozy area perfect for relaxing or studying while stopping coffee. My partner and I both ordered the grilled steak sandwich. It was very good. The bread is not too much and good meat to bread ratio. I opted for half sandwich and soup and it was the perfect combo. The lavender latte and the flight (samples) were all so delicious. I love the craft coffees. I thoroughly enjoyed everything. It taste fresh and light. I will def come back I thoroughly

I can't see anyone giving this place anything other than a 5 star. The staff is great, the restaurant is bustling with people but yet still roomy. The patio is encased with live greenery and music playing in the background. The selection of coffee and teas are second to none. I did see they offered breakfast but this visit was about the turkey club sandwich. Absolutely loved the sandwich and my choice of fries were perfect. I strongly recommend this place for everyone to try out. I know I'll be back

Latte
Shanelle S.

Came here after playing pickleball in a group of 6 on a Sunday afternoon, and we had a great time. I ordered the Pear Thee Well matcha and shared a chocolate croissant with my boyfriend, who ordered the latte. We gave into ordering some fries later on as well, since one of our friends ordered some, and we liked the seasoning on them a lot. Our server was nice and the decor was really cute. Indoor and outdoor seating was available.

Fried chicken and waffles
Sara S.

Absolutely the ideal coffee and brunch spot of your dreams- excellent service, lots of nice seating both indoors and outdoors, and an extensive menu! The yogurt bowl was fresh and tasty, the chicken and waffles were YUM (seriously perfectly seasoned and crispy chicken!!), and the iced horchata latte was DIVINE! Will definitely be back if I'm in the area.

Indoor seating
Amenda K.

I really enjoyed my first visit to Ascension! I came on a Friday afternoon at around 3:30, and it wasn't too busy. The space is very spacious, bright, and welcoming. It was decorated for the holidays, which made it even cuter. There were a mix of people socializing and studying/working. Indoor seating includes booths, standard seating, and couches. The booths weren't the most comfortable, but it was okay for a short stay. There is also outdoor seating available. I ordered an Iced Hibiscus Flirt tea and the Latin Chicken + Grain Bowl. First off, the bowl was INCREDIBLY GOOD. I was worried the sauce would be too spicy, but it was perfect. The tea was as expected and refreshing, but I wouldn't recommend for anyone wanting a sweeter drink. The service was really quick, but then again it wasn't that busy. Half of the parking lot is self-park and the other half is valet. There was plenty of parking available when I went. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit here, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Ascension in Design district is our go to breakfast spot. It gets crowded but the food, bakery and drinks do not disappoint! You also rarely need to wait for a table because the space is so large.

$15 bowl + tax for this tiny tablespoon of yogurt. Way overpriced, learned my lesson ordering to go from here

Steak sandwich
Kat S.

Spacious coffee shop restaurant that's just off the freeway. Quiet enough to find a corner table to work, but cute enough to meet up with friends for a breakfast date. The food is solid - great sandwiches and breakfast finds.

Interior
John R.

We are here having a hot and an iced buko pandan coffees. Delicious. Def be back. Prices are reasonable for DFW. Beautiful interior and front garden too. Note. They do steer you to a table for Tips because they say right when you walk in that they're full service.

Chicken Caesar Wrap
lacee e.

has such a cozy, welcoming vibe--perfect for a relaxed coffee or casual meal. The service was great and impressively fast, which made the experience even better. Prices felt very reasonable for the quality. The food was also great I tried some items I usually would not eat.

Sweet potato pancake
Jac B.

Honestly, we were pretty disappointed this weekend. Having had good experiences at the uptown ascension, we decided to try this one. It's. A pretty space with indoor and patio seating. On a sunday at 10, we were seated right away but food took almost an hour to come out. For an establishment to advertise brunch I think the kitchen should be able to keep up with peak brunch demands. Our food was lukewarm and it was ok but not great; the Benedict was just on a raw piece of bread. The breakfast potatoes were undercooked and bland and lukewarm. The pancake sweet potato special was quite yummy but it was very expensive for a single flat smallish pancake. The bacon was thick and good. Sorry for the half-pictures but we were starving.

Pancake. Spring flight. Aussie Bacon & Egg Roll but with a Starship Everything Bagel. Sausage Cheddar Sandwich.
Michelle B.

Feel in love with this spot. Honestly I was nervous looking at the photos. We were promptly sat at a table. Folks in all sorts of clothing. Decent service. The feel was cute like you could relax but with a good speed of service. The guy who made my Spring coffee flight was so friendly and happy. The strawberries and cream cold latte was great. The very berry was a bit weird. The cereal milk was not sweet what so ever. It was honestly bitter but it wasn't bad after I added some sugar. I got my sandwich on an everything bagel. So good considering I wanted to try the starship bagels already. I'm glad I got to. So good.

What is in the pane aria sandwich? I can't find it on my menu but it looks amazing!

They have 2, an Spicy Italian and a Chicken Mancheco. It is made with an Italian bread found in Italy. I've had the Chicken Mancheco, it's been a while. But I've never had a bad meal at this establishment.

I…read morearrived around 11, typical check in was 3 but I booked through Amex so was guaranteed a noon check in. Although I was eligible for a room upgrade, it wasn't ready so I took a regular king, which was fine. I appreciated the ability to get in prior to noon as I was headed to the game. I didn't spend much time at the hotel but the service, lobby and room met my picky expectations . The king room was big enough for 2 adults along with my 70 pound boxer and small dog. My only complaint is no grass nearby. It is downtown so I get it but a small patch would be helpful. There is a pet area next door but it's dirt and let's just say my dogs need grass ‍ they aren't accustomed to using the bathroom in dirt so apparently they thought they were doing something wrong ‍. I fibbed I have a second complaint, the restaurant service was extremely slow and the silverware was gross I had to get multiple switchouts. That's fixable and I'll be nice and not dock stars for it I'd definitely come back if I have my pups and need to be in the downtown Dallas area.

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.

I hit the jackpot gem with Bucket and Rope. This place is just off the main areas in downtown near the Dallas Farmer's Market. The patrons are mostly locals who know what's up. The layout is spacious but welcoming. I sat at the bar as I was solo, but there were plenty of great seating options including comfortable couches. The patio is currently being re-done, but will be perfect for the upcoming fall season. The menu offerings were plentiful and varied, but there are specials and rotating options as well. Alexa at the bar greeted me, and went over the menu and specials with me. She did a great job making my cocktails and giving casual conversation throughout. I ordered the off-menu Steak Frites with broccolini and fries. The steak was charred perfectly on the outside and moist and at the lovely medium temp on the inside. The broccolini was on point with just a bit of spice from the red pepper. Fries were shoestring style, and they did it right with that perfect crisp on the outside and soft inside. I learned that Thursdays are paella night! What a great surprise in downtown Dallas! When in the city again, this will absolutely be my go to place for cocktails and great food.

We let him know upfront that we were on a HARD stop--we had a flight to catch in about an hour and a half--so we asked how we should pace our meal. He said, "Okay, I got it," and he absolutely delivered! We ate, enjoyed ourselves, and still had time to spare. Excellent service! Now, the food! We had the shrimp deviled eggs--EXCELLENT! We also ordered the lobster mac & cheese, fried catfish, pork chops, black-eyed peas cooked with smoked turkey over rice, collard greens, smoked oysters, grilled shrimp appetizer, wild berry lemon drops, and strawberry lemonade. Everything was delicious. Not one disappointing dish on the table. Then came the bill...$450 for four people, with no dessert. That was definitely a bit of a shock. We realized gratuity had already been added, which helped explain the total, but it still felt steep and took a little of the shine off an otherwise great experience. The food was amazing, the service was on point, and Cam did exactly what we needed him to do. But $450 for four people with no dessert? That part was hard to swallow--and it wasn't the food!

My schedule finally aligned and allowed me to be able to visit the Dallas location. I went for dinner during a weeknight. There were a decent amount of people seated and at the bar. The vibes were cool. The staff were friendly and there was no wait for a table. I ordered the southern fries catfish with grits and greens. Everything was just "okay" to me for the price. Again, I'm from Alabama. The greens were salty and I had to doctor up the grits. If you're not used to southern cooking, I would say definitely try it. If you are used to southern cooking, go for the vibes based on my experience. I'm going to give it another try and to sample more menu items when I'm near another location because I've heard great things about the food and I always give worthy places more than one chance. I'll do another review once I try it again.
