This…read morearea has become of gem of a location in DFW for dining, and Monaco brings a truly elevated and upscale experience to the area. This is my updated review. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Monaco is one of the prettiest restaurants in all of DFW. Dark wood and dark blue seating invite you in. The bar is stunning, with back lighting highlighting their drinks. There's also an outdoor seating area, including a wind shield - perfect when the weather is nice. This is a great spot for a weekend date night if you want something outside of Dallas. 1 Star. Service - Everyone was very nice. We were never rushed, all dishes could be customized to order, and I never had to ask for a refill. Nothing but good people here. 1 Star. Food - Let me start by saying presentation matters, and the dishes at Monaco are great for your Instagram or Yelp feed. I started with the roasted oysters. I chose it because the description said the oysters are "topped with bone marrow butter". That, combined with the roasted breadcrumbs, added a nice crunchy and smooth texture to the delicious oysters. For my main, I went with the Salmon St. Harve. This beautiful dish had a perfectly prepared salmon. Soft and flaky, but with a crunch from the skin at the bottom. It was served on top of grilled asparagus and topped with a cream sauce that brought everything together. Delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's not a secret that I love Water Street. This is an awesome area in the heart of DFW, and I'm so happy there is an upscale restaurant like Monaco that has amazing food. 1 Star.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a miss…read more I started with the beet carpaccio, which was actually enjoyable. The portion was fair and the ingredients felt fresh. The vinaigrette leaned very citrusy, which overpowered the dish a bit, but I couldn't help thinking that adding some goat cheese would balance it beautifully and elevate the whole plate. Then came the pasta bolognese... and that's where things went downhill fast. The ricotta was completely flavorless, the meat was tough, and overall the dish lacked seasoning. It was honestly one of the most disappointing bolognese dishes I've had. One more thing that really stood out: the interior has carpet flooring. In a food establishment, that feels deeply unhygienic and off-putting. 1/5 stars -- a strong start with the appetizer, but the main course and overall experience completely missed the mark.

The manager greeted us at the door and personally escorted us to our table, which set a professional, welcoming tone for the evening. The preordered appetizers (meatballs, shrimp, and prosciutto with melon) arrived within minutes of us sitting down and were a hit with everyone at the table. Our waiter was very attentive throughout the night, keeping drinks topped off and timing courses perfectly so conversation flowed without interruption. I ordered one of the nightly specials, a Carne Asada steak with chimichurri and fire-grilled vegetables, and the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Everyone at our table loved their food. Between the great Highland Park Village setting, excellent service, and delicious dishes, Bistro 31 delivered a flawless business dinner experience. Highly recommend -- 5/5 stars.

We went to Russian Banya on Thanksgiving Day (2025). They were serving traditional American Thanksgiving dishes as well as their normal dinner menu. We decided to try their normal menu, family style. We had a feast! Borscht (5/5): It was a cool evening, and this dish really warmed me up! The dish was delicious, and very flavorful. We ordered 1 order and split it between the 4 of us. Pilaf (5/5): The beef and fried rice was really good. The beef was tender, and the rice was flavorful. Beef stroganoff (5/5): This was my second favorite dish after borscht. The beef and potatoes were doused in a hearty gravy. For dessert, we ordered the honey cake and the napoleon cake to share between the 4 of us. The cakes were very generously portioned, and were enough to share. I loved the honey cake! It was soft, not too sweet, and a delight! For my beverage, I had the glass of mixed berry mors. I loved it so much that I ordered a full container! I took the remainder home with me. We did not try their banya (bath/sauna), but maybe next time!! The people in the banya on the other side must have been ordering beer and food because we saw the staff running back and forth between the kitchen and the banya with drinks and food! The service was spectacular, an everyone was so friendly! The restaurant is a homey mom and pop stop. There were a handful of tables.

First, you walk in and you're introduced to a small, charming, and warm space that looks straight out of a children's fairytale. Don't forget to grab a little surprise card (child friendly and adult friendly) either before you sit down or on your way out. Cute conversation starters and reflection inspiration! My objective of the night was dessert, so I didn't even bother to look at the savory souffles. While waiting for our server, my eyes were captivated by the twinkling lights around me (in the indoor space) and the sight and sounds of the chefs whisking away the souffles before they went in the oven. I was expecting Ratatouille's Remy to pop out. Anyway, as we gazed through the dessert menu, we thought we were enlightened already, but it only got better -- the specials: Strawberry and Pistachio. I'm regretting only getting the Pistachio because it was just so dang good. Will definitely be back. Austin is missing out.
