    Paloma
    Nick O.

    Came here for a little late afternoon Friday drinking. The chips and queso were delicious, as well as the fried pickles. The drinks were well made. I had the Paloma and my wife had vodka sodas with cranberry. Good pours. I saw the food served for other tables, and the food looked good. Service needs to be better though

    What a great pop-up experience! We were a little concerned that the 1.5-hour time limit wouldn't be enough, but it ended up being perfect. From the moment we arrived, the festive décor and friendly staff set the mood. We were greeted with our holiday cocktail (so good!). The menu is limited for the pop-up, but the flavor certainly isn't! We ordered the sliders and split the burger--both were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. We left stuffed! For drinks, we tried the Old Fashioned, the Grinch Punch, and Rudolph's Hot Toddy. All were creative, fun, and strong... no complaints here! Reservations are $15 per person for a 1.5-hour experience and include your first cocktail. Larger groups even get their own igloo

    I was just told about this hidden gem, and had to check it out. It's not obvious that there is a restaurant until you walk towards the dock. I love that they have open seating. With the weather being nice, it's the perfect time to enjoy the nice, large outdoor patio with a view of the lake. Parking was very easy to find since they have a huge lot. The service could be a little bit better. We had empty water cups, but the server didn't notice to refill those for us. I had the shrimp street tacos that come with beans and rice. The taste was overall average, but nothing beats the ambience and vibe of this place. It's the perfect location for families and groups to hangout.

    Shrimp ceviche and chips
    Elizabeth A.

    Location Scott's landing Parking Large lot Atmosphere Dockside marina restaurant Large stage for live music Boats can pull up to the dock. Seating ( I haven't checked inside) Low tables and chairs-great for groups Service So friendly and attentive! Menu So many choices! We got the mango shrimp ceviche. So yum! Not all chopped up but sliced shrimp with mango and jalapeño. Served with chips. I was surprised by the chips-they are dark, not much salt but lighter than they appear-yes, addictive! The cat fish bites were 2 fried pieces-large. We had the fries which were really good-some light coating-not heavily salted. Perfect lunch! Summary We love this place. I was really pleased with the generous serving of ceviche-it just kept going! ! Very relaxing afternoon hang out.

    Little Queen band performing.

    We have been there a number of times and each time keeps getting better. Daddy's now has a very nice stage and awesome sound system and is featuring some of the top bands in the area. You can check out the event calendar on their website. We went to see Little Queen this last Saturday night and they were totally amazing. The service is good. The food is good. The drinks are good and the jello shots later in the evening are also quite nice. If you haven't been out there for a nice evening with some live music please do so soon and if you've been there before, just keep doing it.

    Cool place. Great atmosphere and staff. We went with our sons and It was cold so they put outdoor heaters on for us which was lovely. I got combo fajitas chicken and steak. The steak was a bit chewy, but overall good flavor. Onion rings were a big hit too. We will go back again sometime.

    Street taco - beef

    I'm leaving 3 stars this time because there is some room for improvement with the food quality. The $18 jalapeno burger barely had any jalapenos on it and the $16 chicken bacon avocado sandwich only had 3 little slivers of avocado. We ordered double spicy margaritas and they brought us the drink with a shot on the side and they charged an extra $10 for a double so our "double margaritas" were $22 each. We also tried the painkiller drink which didn't taste like a traditional one and poor presentation. Still great service and ambience though.

    We came here for the popup. Very enjoyable. Limited menu but the ham sliders and the smash burger were very tasty. We lucked out and got a good waterside table on a perfect evening. Very good but overpriced special drinks menu. Relaxing and fun.

    Crimson was very helpful waiting us at our table and the food was wonderful the bacon wrapped shrimp I highly recommend

Our server works at another location and told my friend about this place I feel horrible I can't remember her name right now but she's a ginger super sweet and took care of us and answered all of our crazy questions. Brittany??? I had the cheeseburger and it was a double cheeseburger and it was so delicious with side of salad. (Photo didn't turn out) My friend had the burger & french fries so I got to try them and they were also delicious. Inside a dark and moody and cool and temperature so you can come in and get out of the heat enjoy a cocktail and a nice lunch. It's nice to not be under such bright light and crowded places. I really like the atmosphere here quiet swanky and had nice music. Friends request we shared the double eggs they were definitely something to try. And she had the chicken pot pie and said it was so delicious she licked the bowl clean.

    Cool looking place, but my lunch was very disappointing. Had the Seared Tuna Salad, which looks…read moregood on the plate but had zero taste. The tuna - as another Yelp reviewer mentioned- was bland, somehow lacking any tuna flavor. The salad was equally bland - the amount of dressing provided was stingy and it wasn't bad but was also very uninspired. I ate four bites of the salad to ensure it wasn't just me missing the tasty parts but that didn't help. I left all the tuna except the first piece I tried and half of the second. When the server finally came by and I had a 90 percent untouched plate he didn't bother to ask if everything was okay - just said "can I take this away"? I think these are the same owners who have The Tavern and Tycoon in Flower Mound and I've never had anything but great food and service experiences at both so hopefully this was just a rare bad experience. I will stick to The Tavern and Tycoon going forward, though.

Their lighthearted approach made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food was very good, especially for a place that's primarily known as a bar. I had the turkey melt on sourdough with truffle fries, and it was delicious. The cocktails were excellent as well. We tried the smokey pineapple one with mezcal, and it was beautifully crafted and highly recommended. Even the restrooms deserve a mention--they're beautifully designed and reflect the attention to detail throughout the venue. And the patio is dog friendly.

We were seated outside, and it ended up being perfect. It was sunny and nice, the heaters were on, and they even pulled the shade upon request, so it was very comfortable. Our waitress was really really sweet and tried her best to accommodate our large group. She took our orders quickly and was attentive throughout, which was appreciated. For drinks, I had an iced coffee...it was just okay, nothing special, but it did the job. The cocktails were better. The lavender honey drink was a hit with my friends, and the Dragon Refresher was really good and my personal favorite. Food was a bit hit or miss. I initially wanted the trout, which was still listed on the menu but wasn't available (they forgot to remove it). I switched to the salmon, which was okay, but it came with truffle fries and those were the star. They were so good we ordered two more. I also tried the stuffed chicken roulade, which I really enjoyed! The breakfast tacos were a big disappointing, pretty basic with scrambled eggs, bacon, with a side of roasted potatoes. Not much flavor. On the other hand, the ahi tuna tacos were great and loved by the table. We also tried the chicken & waffles, eggs benedict, and avocado toast...all solid. One hiccup: we ordered a charcuterie board and calamari as appetizers, but they never came. When I asked later, the waitress realized she had forgotten, so we canceled since our entrées were already out. Overall, great vibes, a nice outdoor setup, and a solid bar. Service was friendly and accommodating, especially for a large group. Food was mixed.

    Moving to Texas a while back, a friend said "never underestimate a restaurant in a strip mall"…read more Craftway Kitchen in Southlake isn't exactly in a strip mall, but in the outlot of a few big box retailers. We've driven past Craftway Kitchen more than a few times, always intrigued with a 'we have to try that place sometime'. Saturday night was sometime. Taking our chances as a party of three walk in's, the restaurant was full inside, and there were a few tables open on the patio. I generally don't like to eat on patios, because flies show up, etc. Not at Craftway... not sure what they were doing, but there wasn't a fly or other flying bug around. The patio wasn't just clean, it was meticulous. Welcoming too - It felt very much like an extension of the restaurant. Alex, our waiter was quick to bring water and menus. Returning to take drink orders, a margarita was ordered as was a glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. Drinks were quickly served. Water was never allowed to become empty. Alex asked if we had ever been to Craftway, we informed him this was our first visit. His ask "any allergies?" to which we said no. He disappeared, returning with an appetizer sampling plate with three items - the Reuben egg rolls, crab stuffed mushrooms, and blue cheese chips. All were fantastic! Three entrees ordered, the Chicken & Fig sandwich, Chicken Milanese and the Cajun pasta with Chicken. Food arrived; each entree was fantastic. Cooked to perfection, flavors were amazing. Dessert, shared, was a bread pudding with ice cream, a perfect finish. Alex never let beverages become empty, delivered superb service. The Chef circulated the room checking on satisfaction and chatting with patrons. Giving Craftway Kitchen a very well deserved 5-star rating. The staff did everything right! Departing, we talked about what we will order next time. We will be back to Craftway Kitchen!

I can't wait to go back and sit at the bar. Our waiter Shawn was great. Very calm, helpful and available when we needed him. The Lavender Lemonade is a delicious cocktail and a great way to start the meal. The Fat Cat Fries has so many flavors going on. They were good. I LOVED the Blistered Shishitos and Crabmeat Dip. The naan it was served with was warm and abundant. I do not like when you order a dip and hardly get any chips or bread for dipping. Tycoon covered it! Our friend had the French Onion Soup and liked it. The Steak Frites (substituted with broccolini) that our friend got looked amazing. My husband had the Wagyu Sliders and really enjoyed them. I had the Mediterranean Primavera with blacked chicken that our waiter recommended adding. It was very good. They have a nice wine selection. Not a huge list, but good.

    So I have been wanting to try Tycoon for quite some time now. I decided to make reservations there…read morefor Valentine's Day, which was probably my first mistake. I made my reservation on Resy. A couple of days later I get a call from the restaurant saying they needed a $25 deposit over the phone, in case we cancel. I have dined at a lot of restaurants but never have I made a deposit upfront, they would just have a card on file and charge it if there is a no show. The lady on the phone (Chelsea) said we would only have 90 minutes at our table, which is standard for most restaurants. Nevertheless we paid $25 and kept our reservation, since Valentine's Day is busy time I figured this was the reason for all of this. Upon our arrival we were seated right away, and as soon as we sat down the hostess let us know that they would need our table by 5:45pm, because that is when the next reservation would be there. Right off the bat I felt rushed. I hated the table we were sat in, because we were so close in proximity to other people. Tycoon is very pretty inside, but if you are not seated in one of their spacious booths, the other tables are so close together, you will definitely hear other people's conversations. Let's talk about the food, I ordered the Lavender Lemonade as my cocktail and that was really good. For our appetizer we had the Deviled eggs, and I was excited because I love Deviled Eggs, but these were just okay. I didn't love how over stuffed they were, I just felt like it was too much. For my entree I had the Chicken Parmesan which I thoroughly enjoyed. I thought my meal was flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My husband had the sea bass and he loved his food. To end the night we shared their Dessert Trio and that was delicious, aside from the Creme Brûlée because that had no taste. Their service was good. Our waiter was nice and attentive. I definitely didn't feel rushed by him, but the same hostess stood near waiting for me to take my last bite of pasta so she could take the plate from the table. We were watching the time the whole time to make sure we got out of there on time. Overall I was disappointed. I get that Valentine's Day is busy day for restaurants but I don't want to be rushed through a dinner that should be enjoyable.
