    We came here to have drinks before a concert we were attending at Toyota Center. Great bar inside of the Four Seasons Hotel. The staff is friendly and the drinks were very good. Service was a little slow at times but not horrible, we were a party of 6. I didn't order foo brothers on my party did and everything looked great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was casual and mostly mature adults.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely recommend and will return.

    Prime Rib Chicharron

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in the 4 Seasons hotel, this restaurant is a great find. With a quiet environment, it provides a smart casual ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a bar or comfortable lounge seats to choose from.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was very knowledgeable, checked on us regularly, and made excellent recommendations. The chicharron was amazing! The meat was fried, but somehow still melted in your mouth. The guac was fresh. The tortilla soup was creamy with great flavors. The ribeye has caramelized onions on top that are so rendered, they melt and pack so much flavor. The ribeye is delicious and cooked to perfection. With the price and amount of food you get, you really can't go wrong. This is my husband's go-to spot when we are in town for one of his events and I don't see that changing!

    I've eaten at B&B numerous times over the years, but for some reason I had never sat at the bar until this year. Now that I've done bar seating a couple of times, I think it has become my preferred place to sit. I dined solo before a concert a few months ago. Justin and Laura were working the bar and they did an excellent job! I wanted to order my favorite (Kale Caesar with Salmon), but I noticed the salad was changed to a regular Caesar. I also noticed the increase in price for the salmon so I decided to try something different. I went with the Peach Burrata Salad. Justin recommended adding blackened chicken. I am not a huge fan of blackened chicken but I absolutely loved this salad! It was different from my usual, but it was so good and flavorful! The char on the chicken was perfect and the sweetness from the peach complimented it so well. For my drink, I started with the Spring Branch. It had a lovely lemon, thyme, and apple flavor that felt like autumn in a glass. It was so good and balanced! Laura created it and I made sure to give her feedback because it was really good. I also ordered the the Magnolia. It's gin based (my favorite) with a nice balance of raspberry and lemon. The leaf garnish was a nice touch! I came back with my friend for dinner before an Astros game a few months later. Laura was there and somehow remembered me! Arlette was also working the bar and she provided great service to us as well. I ordered the Vesper 2.0. It's extremely boozy (as a Vesper should be)! The cocktail came with truffle chips. The truffle oil and saltiness of the chips complimented the cocktail so well! I don't know who came up with the idea to combine the two, but bravo! For dinner I had the Birria Bao as well as Brussels Sprouts. The Birria Bao was delicious! The meat was seasoned and tender. The pickled onions and cilantro that topped it were delicious as well! The Brussels had a nice char and I enjoyed the dollops of cream. I only planned to have the Vesper, however Laura and Arlette hooked us up with some samples of their fall cocktail creations that they were working on for the next menu. Both cocktails were mezcal based and they were good! I can't wait to see the final product. I've found that the bartenders are more attentive which can be good if you're short on time. I really like how well they work together. They not only introduced themselves when I sat down (both visits), they made a point to introduce the other bartenders working along side them. B&B continues to be one of my favorite downtown spots for dinner and drinks!

    Lovely bar to the right of the hotel when you arrive. We came here for drinks on a Sunday afternoon.Our server was very prompt. I became hungry so I started with a burger and Cosmo. My husband ordered a whiskey sour with Uncle Nearest. They have a varied assortment of whiskey. My burger was delicious. The branded bun is a nice touch. I saw a delectable looking drink stroll by and just had to ask my waiter what it was. It was their version of an espresso martini with whip cream on top. So yummy! We relaxed and watched tv for a bit. This is a nice place to unwind. Prices are a little up there.

    Aybars was our server and he did wonderful! Knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions. We did make reservations ahead of time, but it was quite empty when we arrived and they just told us to sit anywhere. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very chill bar/light bites restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the Lobster tacos (actually really good and each taco had good chunks of lobster in it), Sweet Potato Fries (crispy), Truffle Fries, BB bayou burger (juicy, cooked nicely) + crispy large onion rings with a excellent batter. Drinks - Margarita with tajin on the rim and reposado tequila (pretty strong) Parking - Valet $8 TIP if you have a toyota center concert, grab a bite or drink here first and then 5 min walk to the arena Afterwards, you'll come back to the four seasons and pay the cashier and they'll bring your car out to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms - Clean, fancy napkins[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I came to Bottle & Bayou ready for a good meal and birthday celebration, and I got one, but what I really got was the best service of my entire life thanks to our waiter Tawanda Let me be clear: This man deserves a raise, a promotion, and at least one vacation day... preferably paid. He was the sweetest soul ever, worked harder than any waiter I've seen, and made the whole experience feel like five-star fine dining even though I casually ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. The food was good solid, tasty, hit the spot. But the real highlight? Tawanda's service was the meal. The burger + fries combo did its job, but he was the star of the show. Attentive, kind, personable, super hardworking, and just radiating "I actually care about my tables" energy. I wish every server in the world had his work ethic and heart. Bottle & Bayou, please take care of him. He deserves the best of the best -- and honestly, so do y'all for hiring someone like him. Food = Vibes = Tawanda = (should be the restaurant logo at this point) I'll definitely be back, but only if Tawanda is still there so I can leave this review all over again.

    They are within the 4Seasons so you know it will be a great time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute spot looks like a library and they have private virtual golf rooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated quickly in a little romantic booth and you see everyone from friends to lovers in the spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The surprise was the ceviche so fresh and delicious. It was late so wifey got the chicken Cobb. Good portion and the dressing was amazing. Octopus was deeelish! I would def return and be sure to bring others. Great service great staff and cayute spot.

    Fantastic service and food. Came in with an admittedly late and tight timeline before a show and they were super accommodating and quick. Delicious food and drinks.

    The bar of the Four Seasons. Not to be confused with there Speakeasy Bandista upstairs. Located right on the first floor lobby of the hotel. Parking - is either valet at the hotel, or find street parking. I street parked a few blocks away. I came here for the first time early evening, for some pre drinks for a friend's bday dinner upstairs. My friend had a resy. But you could probably just show up and be seated, depending how crowded it is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The crowd was steady influx. It has a cool simple decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were several people dressed up nice and fancy, for a wedding upstairs. The place has plenty of various types of seating, which is probably the best thing about the place. From high top tables, large leather couches, booths, bar stools etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems like a great place to hang out with a group, to grab drinks & bite before or after a night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Centrally located downtown. Walking distance to all kinds of entertainment. Such as the theater, ballet, baseball game, concert venues etc. Drinks - I ordered the Cruel Summer. I enjoyed it. It was pretty boozy, so I only needed one before dinner. Service was easy enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came back again, later on in the night. It was more crowded, but we were able to be seated again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The group ordered several items, chips/queso, burger & O-rings, fries. The bite of burger I had wasn't bad. I think everyone enjoyed there food. Overall an easy experience, which is all you can ask for.

    The bartenders are so attentive, personable and friendly! The food is good and there's a nice selection of drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting is romantic with a comfortable atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drink my son ordered was good tasting but weak since after about 8 he still had no buzz and he doesn't ever drink unless it's a special occasion! The orbit drink is strong and pretty! The apple drink is also delicious! Yes, I recommend this place!

    The service and food were great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was chill and very relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tacos were so good. We went back the next day and got some for lunch.

The location is money, super convenient right around the corner from House of Blues and Toyota Center. You'll often see a mix of locals and out-of-towners on most nights.

The whiskey selection extensive and the staff actually knows how to guide you through it if you're not sure what you want. Vibe is more of a low lit, cozy, and feels a little upscale without being too pretentious.. Good spot for date night or just grabbing drinks with friends after a show.

I had…read moreheard good things for years, and I remember driving past it a couple times and not seeing it or any signage. Even this time the GPS took us to an entrance that had us going the wrong way down a one-way, but we eventually figured it out I will say that the parking isn't all that great, but we were able to find a spot. If the parking lot is full you should be able to find street parking nearby Kanpai Club is a sister location to Handos. They share a kitchen and you can walk through an inside door access either. You can find the same cocktails and bites from Handos on the Kanpai menu, but there's also additional drinks and bites The bar feels like a Japanese Izakaya. It's a narrow space resembling a Japanese outdoor bar. It's intimately lit and well decorated. We did have to wait for two spots to open up, but that didn't take too long The bartenders were friendly, professional, and efficient. We went on a Friday night (fairly late), and they had two dedicated bartenders The cocktails were fun and were beautifully crafted. Most were served in novelty glassware. You can order classic cocktails, but both Kanpai and Hando offer a variety of signature cocktails. Most having some sort of Japanese or Asian fusion. They have beer, wine, and extensive sake list, as well as green tea and other nonalcoholic options The cocktails were tasty. The only one I was iffy on was their Espresso martini. It was poured from a machine and I guess there were having issues with it. The presentation was phenomenal. There was a roasted marshmallow garnish. The drink itself was far too Smokey in flavor than I like, or at least in terms of my espresso martinis The Yuzu Kosho fries were incredible. The flavors really hit the spot. The Okinawa Potato salad was both questionable to looks and and to eat lol. This purple mound of potato's had an interesting taste, look, and consistency. It wasn't bad, just... interesting and new Some tips: If you can't find this spot from the street, look for Handos. It's part of this restaurant Ask the bartender about the happy hour menu. And most nights they're open until 12am, but on Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 2am If you order food online (technically from Hando's) you can get 10% off using code: HANDO10. This is part of their "Hando and Chill" special Cheers!!

The service was 10/10, food was amaaaazing. We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better. Dessert: of course i had to get both! We got the famous olive oil cake and their banana rum cheesecake. We didnt taste much banana unfortunately but the cheesecake was tasty.

I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

The drinks weren't bad and I think they have a nice selection of cocktails to choose from. The rundown for bingo: It was supposed to start at 7pm, but I don't think we started until almost 7:30. Not sure if that's normal or if it was just that night. They'll make an announcement for you to go grab a bingo board from designated spots and it was quite a fight to get a board, which is one per person. I think we played a total of 5-6 rounds with breaks in between and each round is a different goal (e.g. regular bingo, making an X, blackout, etc) with a different prize and the prizes gradually get bigger. Since the tables were all full, lots of people were either sitting around the stage, or on the turf, or standing on the back patio. Parking was super crowded. They have a lot which was definitely filled so I had to resort to street/neighborhood parking.
