The drinks were strong (which was great), but costs as much as the entrees, so just know that, because there's no prices on the menu. BUT, I will say, they've renovated the space beautifully!! The owner was an amazing guy. Ambiance was great. I wouldn't recommend eating there, but maybe if they had a happy hour, that would be worth going to because paying $20 for a margarita was crazy.

To top off an already fantastic dinner, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert and even a free tequila shot to celebrate my dad's birthday! The live music performer on duty was also wonderfully kind, adding such a warm, festive, and memorable touch to his special night. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommend checking them out on Lower Greenville!

For those interested my original review is below, it wasn't even scandalous. I will not bother responding to the owner anymore so don't event bother responding sir. Original review: I really wanted to love this place, and I was so close to doing so. The good: the ambiance was cute and fun. Loved the decorations, the bar is big and takes up a lot of the area where some of the tables are making it a little crowded but that's not a big deal. They had a performer there that night and that was cool. The item we were so excited to try was the biggest disappointment, the chicharon! It looked so good but it was so bland and chewy. We thought it might have been undercooked and ordered another second and asked them to cook it longer but alas it was like chewing on nothing. And that is the common denominator with all the food here. It was so bland. The only item I enjoyed was the jalapeño and cheese sausage. The salsa was bland. The meats were bland. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The drink in the bowl was good. But other than that the meal was a disappointment which is truly sad because we were looking forward to the meal, and it was pricey too. Had the food been good we wouldn't have been bothered by the price. We needed some flavor that day.

Upon entry, a server near our table took all the space he could - I had to say excuse me and he never apologized, yielded, or anything. Tough way to start dinner. - the house marg was mega sweet. Felt like either fake mix or far too much simple syrup - not enough tequila. - when the margaritas were dropped off, a lime fell off and instead of getting me a new one, the server just scooted it all the way across the table, flat side down?! Was I supposed to then pick it up and trust the tables cleanliness - lol - ceviche was mayo based and did not say that in the description. Nothing really tasted fresh or seafood-like. It was overwhelmingly spicy / mayo profiled. - mole was also overly spicy. We're Mexican and can handle spicy - it was unecessarily hot. - our waters were not filled once and the wait staff wore far too much cologne. It was actually distracting! I love local business and spending $100 on an experience like this is quite disappointing. You can see that I rarely leave a review like this, but this has to be said. I'd encourage management to invest in training, more clear menu descriptions and recipes.

Then I had to try one more, the barbacoa. Not one taco disappointed. You MUST try this place if you like seafood and tacos, they have all kinds of tacos. The Agua Frescas were really good too. Not even 30 minutes after I left I was craving another octopus carnitas taco. Also, when you watch the cook make the food, it's art, not just cooking. He literally loves what he does. The ambiance is just very relaxed, great vibe. I recommend this place 10/10.

Delicious craft cocktails and an ambiance to match. The service is also impeccable. We went on a HOT summer day and the air condition was working just fine. The restaurant does have an open kitchen so that could cause some warmth but it's not hot by any means. We started with a couple of cocktails and they were super tasty. I really liked my white Negroni and my dining partner got the twist on a manhattan. The white Negroni had coconut advertised and I'm not a big fan but the server asked me to try and that he'd take it off the bill if I didn't want it. It was super tasty and I'm glad I got it. We had several courses (see all the pics!) but the highlights to me were the scallop tostada and the snapper. That scallop tostada thing was a Michelin star worthy chefs kiss! The crunch.

But at this point, I feel obligated to alert the Dallas dining public that Oloyo has been having ongoing issues with their air conditioning system. And it's...bad. And...they're not giving ANYONE a heads-up. And...they're acting like it "just happened." It's been about a month since I had dinner here with some friends. Their AC was completely non-functional that evening. In a tiny space with an open kitchen and sunlight pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the entire place was basically an oven. We sweated through our clothes and were digging through our purses trying to find hair ties to pull our hair back. Bizarrely, the staff didn't even acknowledge the issue until we talked about it, at which point we were told it had just happened. None of our meal was comped, and honestly it just made things worse that the only gesture of "hey thanks for staying and dining with us anyway" was that they brought out some glasses and poured literally 2-4 sips of the bottom of a flat bottle of pet nat into each of our glasses. Yikes. The reason I'm posting this now is that another friend of mine (whom I hadn't warned) ate dinner there this week and ALSO said that there was NO AC. I don't know if this is bad luck and it just happened to break again, or if it hasn't been functional for the past month, but either way, yikes. Yikes for the experience of sweating through an insanely expensive dinner. Yikes for the restaurant not closing until they can get this fixed. Yikes for the restaurant not even giving diners a heads-up. Like, hey, you might not want to shower before dining with us, because you will need a full shower after. Yikes, yikes, yikes. AC issues aside, the food is tasty and creative, but nothing left a lingering impression or memory. It would be a GREAT meal at a much lower price point, but at the absolutely astronomical prices they've set (fair warning: if you plan to brave the AC issues, also check the menu prices in advance), the food should be outstanding. It's not quite there. There were other issues, too. For example, we had a somewhat early reservation (around 6 pm), and they were already out of ingredients for multiple cocktails. Things like this I can excuse as bumps in the road getting a new restaurant up and running. What was harder to excuse was the fact that we waited literally 30 minutes past our reservation time for our table to open up, and there is NOWHERE to sit or even stand while waiting, so we awkwardly lined up along the wall in one corner and constantly had to step out of the way of servers. Standing awkwardly for half an hour past our reservation, dripping sweat, watching the people sitting at our table lingering over their dessert and making us wait -- not because we were trying to make them feel bad by watching them, but the restaurant is SO small that we were practically standing over them -- well, it wasn't a great start to the meal. Nor was the fact that we were told we'd have a drink "on the house" that I guess ended up being the aforementioned splitting of the quantity of a single glass of flat pet nat across our four glasses. I'm really pained to have to write such a devastating review of a local restaurant, but after hearing that the AC issues are ongoing a month after our visit, I just couldn't NOT say something. Again, maybe our visit a month ago and my friend's visit this week were the ONLY two days that their AC wasn't working, but...idk. At any rate, the restaurant seemingly isn't giving anyone a heads-up if their AC isn't working on the night of your reservation, so y'all deserve to know that this is a possibility, and at the very least I'd suggest calling in advance to ask.
