    Chanel No.31

    Cute little spot in Highland Park Village. Had an hour to myself and drove from my hotel for a drink and dessert. Service was excellent and my food was delicious.

    Bistro 31 is located right in the heart of Highland Park Village. It's a small eatery with a lot of natural lighting and a local clientele. We started with the Mediterranean octopus. I had the wild caught salmon which came with asparagus and vegetables. It was quite good. My friend had a Caesar salad and she liked it. It's not a very large restaurant, but it is quite quaint. Service was attentive. Overall, I enjoyed our lunch and would come back again.

    The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management, Michael, and staff, Stephen, are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend Bistro 31!

    ANTHONY J IS THE BEST. He took care of us the entire time. His energy is just very captivating and it made us have a great time. It was super packed the weekend that we went and he still found time to check on us and make sure we were doing ok. Great service from him. Would definitely go back to see him!

    Tuna Tartare, Grilled Salmon, Olive Oil Cake I had never been to the private room here before this visit, and it was gorgeous! There is a stairway to it on the outside of the restaurant and the room itself is massive and spacious with a full service bar. The food was not up to its usual par, unfortunately, possibly due to how many of us were present. The tuna tartare was very much just okay. The grilled salmon was great and tender. The olive oil cake was pretty good but nothing to write home about

    I attended a bridesmaids luncheon upstairs in the lounge today and it was absolutely perfect. Appetizers were delicious. Drinks were great and lunch was superb. Service was amazing.

    Salmon and Beets!

    Amazing! In Dallas for a few days to visit with my favorite niece and she brought us here! Wow! Definitely a place to see and be seen! Watch out for the Pear Pressure, it's fire!

    Took myself on a lunch date to Bistro 31 June 2024 Monday Reservation made online for 11:45 (12:15, my preferred, wasn't available) Parking: Around 11:45, parking was perfect. Valet is available for the shopping center as well. Around 12:45, parking was still available but it's busier during that time. Staff: Perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality. Ambiance: cozy, light chatter, well lit. Accommodations: ladies, they bring you a purse rack for your bag. Food: I am a rigatoni girlie. The server told me to get it with blackened chicken, so I decided to do that for the $9 upcharge. I would explore other options on the menu next time, but 3.9/5. Price: fair for the area. $40 for just the pasta, really. I had water to drink. $10 for the tip. Cute little restaurant- would return.

    Bistro 31 - a beautiful eatery in a beautiful environment! Parking: I guess it depends on the time. We went on a Monday evening via uber and saw about 20% parking capacity available. It is in an outdoor mall of sorts so if you circle around a few times you'll find parking! Drinks: a great wine selection from Europe, California and Australia! Food: we had so many things but not many pictures as we were enjoying g the vibe. The Dover Sole was my favorite. They said it could serve two but it really can't - we had to order another, which wasn't a problem as they had it ready in about 12 minutes. Some had the steak and some had and some had Branzino and some had salmon. Everyone, including myself, raved about the foie gras! We had a variety of desserts that were freshly made and tasted delicious! Service: absolutely excellent service! Our waitress was the best. We said we wanted a candle lit dinner and she delivered by finding us some birthday candles and constantly refreshing the batch when they dwindled. She had an upbeat personality and was super friendly. Atmosphere/vibe: this is certainly in a ritzy part of Dallas so be prepared for that sort of a crowd. It had great indoor and outdoor dining. Apparently they also have a rooftop. Age group: all ages Bathroom: didn't use it! Return: absolutely

    Just ok, food was decent but nothing to rave about and our server was not the friendliest. Free valet parking and outside seating was nice. I do not recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes, tasted like regular pancakes and the burrata and Tono was sent back. Escargot was ok but not as savory as I was hoping for. Outside of the ambiance and outdoor seating this was a miss for us.

    Came here for a girls brunch. Super cute vibe, obviously in a great area. I will say I didn't like how close our table was to the bar and kitchen door. I get it it's a small space but man I felt crammed. The service was great, our waitress was wonderful. The menu is nice and has a lot to offer. Portion to price is normal for that area. If you're a foodie like me your meal will not be cheap. The octopus was cooked perfectly, flavors were decent. Not the best octopus dish I've had, but definitely not bad either. The beet cured salmon bite was nice. But it was literally one bite. The carpaccio was nice as well, still wasn't amazing but definitely good. The steak and eggs special was ehh. I've had a way better steak elsewhere for less money. For being in this area, the aesthetics was fitting, but the food was not super memorable. I love trying new places but this won't be one I go out of my way to come to.

    Bistro Galette

    Shout out to Eric for great service. Galette was yum. Walked in for one to a friendly staff. Great comfy indoor seating on a hot day.

    Located in beautiful Highland Park, Bistro 31 is the best restaurant I've ever eaten in Dallas! The service was incredible and we received our food in minutes! The pasta and gelato were to die for! It was worth every penny!!

    Is outdoor seating for late lunch/early dinner offered? Any GLUTEN-FREE options?

    I think so and there are gluten free options

    What are their lunch hours?

    This place is located in Highland Park Village. It is a great place to eat after shopping. I really enjoyed the food here. I highly recommend it.

Glad they did, so we could come here instead. When we got there it wasn't too busy, so we were able to get seated quickly. We ended up getting a bunch of tapas and everything we got reminded us of our trip to Barcelona. Granted it was a lot cheaper in Barcelona, but the different dishes felt fairly authentic. Out of all the dishes I truly enjoyed the garlic shrimp and the beet dish. Also you can't go wrong with the tomato bread. Lastly, get the sangria if you drink. Service was also great and they stopped by ever so often to check in on us. They also have the option to eat outside... Considering it was fairly cold we opted to eat inside. The only major con about this place is the parking. I know it's now their fault, but during peak hours it's very difficult to find street parking. I'm not sure if they have their own dedicate parking lot.

The service was terrible we made a reservation but it still took 15 mins to seat even though the restaurant was empty on a weekday night. The food took almost an hour to come out and waitress never refilled our water once. The food itself was terrible, and I would highly other Spanish restaurant in the DFW area. Not only was the food bad, we were charged for another table's order which was more than our own table. This situation took 45 minutes to resolve and ultimately the restaurant couldn't figure out how to fix this. The table of strangers who we paid for were also incredible frustrated. Ultimately we just accepted paying more. Since this situation took so long to fix, we ended up getting a parking ticket going over our two hours paid while figuring this out. We reached out to management but our concerns were not heard. I would highly recommend avoiding this restaurant, coming from someone who rarely writes a bad review.

We had a reservation, which is recommended because the restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night in May. We opted to sit on the patio because the weather was gorgeous. I am not sure if the patio is climate controlled in the summer or not. But on that night we were there, the weather was mild so it was very pleasant. They have happy hour on Saturdays so I started with an IPA on tap and the wife had a Prosecco, also for happy hour prices. This is a tapas restaurant so I will try to remember all that we had. Manchego cheese board: excellent. The crisps and jam were perfect with the cheese. Potato torilla: excellent. The flavors melded very well and it was very tasty. It's filling so keep that in mind. Ceviche de jalapeno: excellent. Not too spicy, the shrimp and seafood was fresh with no fishy smell. The plantains were cooked perfectly, not greasy. Brisket on crostini: excellent. Forget the name but they are a winner. Brisket is good quality and the flavors come together nicely. Chicken skewer: excellent. They smartly use chicken thighs so the meat is juicy and tender. Tuna tartare: good. It actually was my least favorite. The quality was very good but it did not have much flavor. I needed some heat, some acid, something to give it a kick. We were absolutely stuffed and did not try dessert. Our server Marcellus was excellent. Very helpful and pleasant throughout. He never disappeared for too long. Overall, we had a great meal and will undoubtedly return here again.

We got greeted by the hostess immediately, and she walked us up to our booth. Our server came, good energy, polite, friendly & observant. He saw us looking over the wine list & mentioned it wasn't a "busy night" and would pour us a red to try. Most of the wines are Lebanese or Greek, so we for sure weren't familiar with the names. Based on the taste, we got two glasses of what he recommended. When we received our check, a glass was 33$! That's 66$ for two glasses of mediocre wine less than 40$/ bottle @ Total Wine (yes, we looked it up!). I think as a server, if you're offering customers a taste- you should ask for a price point in addition to what varietals we enjoy. Don't get me wrong, we can afford 33$ but, to feel like we got cheated into it, doesn't feel good. We ordered a few things from each section: Snacks: Tirokafteri 14.50 Cold Mezze: Yellow Beets 17.50 Warm Mezze: Roasted Cauliflower 17.50, Octopus 23.25 Mediterranean Specialities: Eggplant Schnitzel 25.50 Food was below mediocre. Spicy feta dip & beets were the only dishes we tolerated. Pita bread came out hot, dip was warm but a bit too much olive oil drizzle. Yellow beets were tasty, it sat on a bed of red beet puree and sprinkles of pistachios. Roasted Cauliflower wasn't impressive. Came out barely warm, and the hummus that it sat on was all too oily. Octopus was a bust, cold and the xato sauce was extremely fishy, reminded me of Vietnamese fish sauce. Eggplant was barely warm, arugula had salt poured over it. Very disappointing experience, unfortunately. Not worth the price point- got all mediocre vegetarian dishes and left with a 230$ bill.

She immediately gave recommendations for each area in the menu and when we were ordering drinks she even suggested different things based on our initial preference. For example, one of my friends asked about a whiskey sour and she recommended one of their pisco drinks instead and it was delicious! We got the yucca, dates, and lamb skewers as appetizers and didn't have a single crumb behind. Well balanced flavor with unique touches that we all appreciated. For entrees two of us ordered the lomo saltado which came out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, they had sold out of the duck when my bf asked for it so they brought him a drink on the house to make up for it. He changed his order to the salmon and loved it. I ordered the paella and sadly that did take waaay too long to come out. By the time they finally brought it to me everyone else was done eating so I just asked for a to-go box. The server did apologize and brought me a drink on the house but it would've been nice to know ahead of time that the dish would take so long to prepare, because I would've chosen something else so I could eat with everyone. All in all it was great and I'll definitely come back. Hopefully I make it in before the duck is sold out next time!
