    Cute little Cafe. I loved the pink accents inside. We ordered our food at the counter, where you are given a number to set at your table, so they can bring out your food. We sat outside because the weather was actually nice, and the views were immaculate. I ordered the Strawberry Latte to drink and it was so good, just the perfect amount of sweet. For my lunch I ordered The Olivia Sandwich, which came with sweet potato chips. Loved how flavorful the sandwich was and for someone who hates sweet potatoes... those chips were goooood!!! The staff were friendly, and I appreciate the fact that they comp parking. I will definitely return.

    Saw Cafe Olivia trending on social media and wanted to give it a try!! Spoiler: it's sooo worth the hype! The cafe is located inside the Dallas Arts Tower. I went during lunch, and it was pretty busy. There are several company offices in the building, so expect a crowd of corporate professionals during the workday. Despite the rush, service was impressively fast. I'm totally obsessed with the dinnerware and custom drinkware. Everything feels so thoughtfully curated. The food and drinks are definitely instagram-worthy but they also genuinely taste amazing as they look. I ordered the Butcher's Cut. The steak was tender and super flavorful, the crispy potatoes were divine, and the sauce tied everything together perfectly. I need that sauce recipe because I want to dip it in everything. I also loved the Fig & Rose latte. The flavors and sweetness were beautifully balanced without overpowering the espresso. Overall, I'd 100% come back. In my experience, sometimes, aesthetic cafes nail the visuals but don't always deliver on flavor, but that's absolutely not the case here. Everything about my experience was phenomenal. Definitely give them a visit!

    Incredible TikTok recommendation ! The place is perfectly downtown and offers a great space to catch up on work or with a friend. The food and drinks are incredible and are very filling :) My one complaint is the matcha is a bit lackluster in comparison to everything else on the menu. The espresso itself is great, good notes and cortado is definitely one I recommend. Plus notes for how fast the service is, I waited around 10 minutes and looks cooked to order :) love it

    I started off my trip to Dallas with Cafe Olivia and it could not have been better! Their matchas tasted smooth and came out very quickly. The outdoor seating was the cherry on top. This cafe is a must!

    Food was tasty. The service was great. Went for breakfast and ended up staying to work there the whole day. Staff were friendly, definitely going back to try a few more things soon. Think the only downside is $15 parking but it is also downtown !

    I've been on the hunt for a new hoe free zone - . Don't judge me, I like to share my experiences with folks, but I need a couple spots just for me. What a jewel Olivia's is, right off of Ross in what I am going to call down town. I walked in and the 1st thing I noticed was the plentiful seating and the variety as well. You want to sit at a bar top, table top, booth, couch, patio they got you covered. The second thing I noticed - great lighting, giving way to a very airy and light atmosphere. I stopped in early morning and after surveying the place for people I might know, I ordered at the register and took a number to my table. Their version of bagel and lox was loaded and delicious ,came out shortly with a side of crushed breakfast taters salted perfectly. . I am no professional coffee drinker but I had the salted maple cortado, I am expanding and this hit the spot. For another time, I'll have to try their cocktails. The menu is solid, I'll be back and if you are looking for a chill spot with good service and eats. Olivia delivers !

    While it's a cute spot, it is extremely overpriced and what you're getting isn't even good. Cause my coffee was $7.50 and this is what I was given

    Latte

    I'll say an 8 ounce iced coffee with hardly any oat milk in it is not worth getting when it's over $7.00.

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.

I hit the jackpot gem with Bucket and Rope. This place is just off the main areas in downtown near the Dallas Farmer's Market. The patrons are mostly locals who know what's up. The layout is spacious but welcoming. I sat at the bar as I was solo, but there were plenty of great seating options including comfortable couches. The patio is currently being re-done, but will be perfect for the upcoming fall season. The menu offerings were plentiful and varied, but there are specials and rotating options as well. Alexa at the bar greeted me, and went over the menu and specials with me. She did a great job making my cocktails and giving casual conversation throughout. I ordered the off-menu Steak Frites with broccolini and fries. The steak was charred perfectly on the outside and moist and at the lovely medium temp on the inside. The broccolini was on point with just a bit of spice from the red pepper. Fries were shoestring style, and they did it right with that perfect crisp on the outside and soft inside. I learned that Thursdays are paella night! What a great surprise in downtown Dallas! When in the city again, this will absolutely be my go to place for cocktails and great food.

We let him know upfront that we were on a HARD stop--we had a flight to catch in about an hour and a half--so we asked how we should pace our meal. He said, "Okay, I got it," and he absolutely delivered! We ate, enjoyed ourselves, and still had time to spare. Excellent service! Now, the food! We had the shrimp deviled eggs--EXCELLENT! We also ordered the lobster mac & cheese, fried catfish, pork chops, black-eyed peas cooked with smoked turkey over rice, collard greens, smoked oysters, grilled shrimp appetizer, wild berry lemon drops, and strawberry lemonade. Everything was delicious. Not one disappointing dish on the table. Then came the bill...$450 for four people, with no dessert. That was definitely a bit of a shock. We realized gratuity had already been added, which helped explain the total, but it still felt steep and took a little of the shine off an otherwise great experience. The food was amazing, the service was on point, and Cam did exactly what we needed him to do. But $450 for four people with no dessert? That part was hard to swallow--and it wasn't the food!

My schedule finally aligned and allowed me to be able to visit the Dallas location. I went for dinner during a weeknight. There were a decent amount of people seated and at the bar. The vibes were cool. The staff were friendly and there was no wait for a table. I ordered the southern fries catfish with grits and greens. Everything was just "okay" to me for the price. Again, I'm from Alabama. The greens were salty and I had to doctor up the grits. If you're not used to southern cooking, I would say definitely try it. If you are used to southern cooking, go for the vibes based on my experience. I'm going to give it another try and to sample more menu items when I'm near another location because I've heard great things about the food and I always give worthy places more than one chance. I'll do another review once I try it again.
