    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!

    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!

    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

    loved this beautiful airy cafe! breakfast sandwiches were amazing w/ generous portions. got the cutest coffees too!

    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

    Latte was really good, they do have a certain time for brunch. I went after church, environment really nice. Definitely will be back for brunch.

    The coffee and matcha are very tasteless and the price is not worth the quality of the drinks.

The reservation required prepayment, was nonrefundable, just shy of $5k per night and required additional paperwork. This was my second time reserving this room in the past year. I flew in from Fort Lauderdale, stayed in a smaller suite the first night. The following morning, I was informed that the penthouse would not be available because the current occupant had an emergency and the hotel "was obligated" to allow them to remain. I was moved to a different penthouse, given a significant discount, and treated professionally by management. However, the issue was never the discount. The issue was that the accommodation I specifically selected, prepaid for, and planned my trip around was not honored. The Loft Penthouse was nice. The staff was courteous. But after traveling from Florida for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion, I left with the understanding that even a prepaid, nonrefundable reservation for a specialty suite may not actually be secure. That's something future guests should know when making their plans. What troubles me most is that this occurred during the FIFA Club World Cup, when Dallas was hosting numerous athletes, celebrities, executives, sponsors, and VIP guests. While I have no way of knowing who remained in the penthouse, it is difficult not to notice that a reservation I made nearly two weeks in advance, prepaid in full, and completed additional paperwork for was the reservation that was displaced. If the Penthouse and Loft Penthouse were truly equivalent accommodations, there should have been no issue relocating the guest who extended their stay to the Loft Penthouse rather than relocating the guest who had prepaid for the Penthouse nearly two weeks in advance. The partial refund that was offered, does not restore the experience that I booked and planned around. What I experienced was unfulfillment of a contractual obligation from the hotel's end while I kept my end of the contractual obligation. Whether I was the least important person in the room or simply the easiest to inconvenience - What was done cannot be undone.

We were amazed at how much space there is. The back room got pretty tight when we first arrived since there was a group of 12 there already....they had taken over the tall tables in the middle and the couch. We slowly spread out and then their time was up about half way through ours so it wasn't as cramped. But it's still such an awesome set up we couldn't stop talking about it the next day!

We ordered the Grilled Lamb Chop Lollipops and the Brisket Risotto Balls for an appetizer. There are only 3 lollipops but they were INCREDIBLE! The presentation was beautiful! The brisket risotto balls were good. Think "boudain" balls. Reinspired and tasty. I ordered the Duck & Rope Pasta, my other half ordered the Beef Arrarbbiata and my daughter and granddaughter shared the Steak Frites. All of it was delicious! The duck confit in the Duck & Rope Pasta was perfect! Don't be scared on this one. It is worth it! For dessert, we ordered the Ferrero Rocher and HOLEY MOLEY! It was huge and delicious. This dessert is rich with the perfect sweetness that won't bite you in the jaw. It is shareable! Overall, I am so happy we tried Bucket & Rope!

From the moment I sat down, the experience reminded me why this place became such a favorite. I started with a sample taste of the frozen D'USSÉ margarita, which was the perfect way to kick things off. For appetizers, I ordered the deviled eggs and the fried salmon bites, and both were absolutely amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right. For my entrée, I clearly came hungry because I ordered both the jerk chicken with greens, smoked turkey, and mac and cheese, plus the catfish and spaghetti after our amazing waitress Justice highly recommended it. Let me just say, she did not miss. Everything was seasoned well, hot, and worth every bite. For drinks, I had the blackberry margarita and the tequila old fashioned. Both were strong, smooth, and definitely only for those who either walked there or took an Uber! Justice made the entire experience even better with her recommendations, attentiveness, and great energy. Overall, Kitchen + Kocktails is still amazing. Great food, strong drinks, and excellent service. I'm happy I gave it another visit because they absolutely delivered. Easy 5 stars!
