    Amazing mules, red and water.
    Maureen C.

    Some restaurants serve a great meal. Others create an evening you remember long after the last bite. Crown Block surprised me by doing both. Their recent 4th of July post on IG caught my attention, especially the grilled steak with fireworks, so I made a reservation for Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. Quick tip: The restaurant is still very busy on Sunday evenings, so be sure to make your reservation several days in advance. The location can be a little tricky to find. After exiting I-35, you'll encounter several intersections and freeway exits with numerous stop signs, so drive carefully. Valet parking is complimentary, and I highly recommend using it. Just be sure to have some cash available to tip the valet. It's well worth it instead of spending 10 minutes searching for public parking and walking to the restaurant. Upon checking in downstairs, the receptionist warmly welcomed me with a complimentary Texas cocktail called Ranch Water. As the elevator climbed higher, the view became absolutely breathtaking. Atmosphere: After another warm greeting from the hostess upstairs, I was seated at a bar table by the window. The sun still filled the dining room with beautiful golden light from about 6:45 to 8:30 p.m., creating a stunning sunset view. It almost seemed surreal that one restaurant could have such stunning views while executing both classic, modernized Japanese sushi and premium American steak so exceptionally well. The culinary journey started with the nigiri. Unlike many other places where Japanese sushi is prepared by Vietnamese or Korean chefs, the sushi here was prepared by an authentic Japanese chef, Kesao, as I later learned from the staff. The sequence of flavors started from the lightest on the left and progressed to the richest on the right. Every bite was full of surprises--the delicate flakes of crispy salt that melted on the tongue, the yuzu, and the other sauces delicately placed on top of the sashimi, along with the Hokkaido uni (and a few other varieties whose names I couldn't identify)--felt like a symphony on my palate that comforted me and brought happiness to my inner child and soul. The entrée course began with the lobster soup, decorated with fresh, aromatic steamed lobster meat and garnished with fresh, unfamiliar herbs. (I wish I knew their names, but the ingredients were way too exotic for an average person like me.) The soup was so delicious that I quietly devoured every spoonful. Here came the rock star of the evening: the steak, prepared by Chef Schlicht. The exterior had an incredible crust with the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The knife glided through the steak with almost no resistance. Every bite had a crisp, caramelized crust that gave way to a perfectly tender center. I couldn't quite identify the seasoning, but both the flavor and texture made me slow down and savor every moment until the very last bite. It is satisfying--it simply made my day even better. The fresh vegetables and herbs, paired with Greek yogurt and spices, complemented the steak beautifully and elevated every bite. I chose a dry red wine recommended by the waitress because I was completely intimidated by the three extensive wine menus on the table. She made the perfect recommendation, although I wish I could remember her name so I could thank her personally. The evening concluded with a blueberry yuzu sorbet as my happy ending to the night. It was perfectly balanced. The blueberry yuzu sorbet was like pressing a reset button after the richness of the steak--bright, cold, and wonderfully clean. and full of citrus flavor. The layering of flavors and flawless execution created a dessert unlike anything I've tasted before. The Amazing Mule mocktail was another highlight. It was refreshing, flavorful, and an excellent non-alcoholic option for anyone who needs to drive home. The only aspect that could be improved was the restroom area. There wasn't clear signage indicating where guests should line up, nor was there a staff member available to direct traffic. As a result, some guests waited in front of the elevators while others lined up near the service station, occasionally getting in the way of employees delivering food. As I rode the elevator back down, I realized I hadn't just enjoyed dinner--I had experienced one of those rare evenings where every detail, from the skyline to the final spoonful of sorbet, seemed carefully orchestrated. Crown Block isn't simply a place to celebrate a special occasion; it becomes part of the memory itself.

    We came here for dinner on a Friday night. One thing I want to flag right away, do not walk here on a Friday night. It is not the safest route, especially coming from downtown. Get an Uber or drive yourself. The location is stunning. Views are beautiful, atmosphere is very classy, not loud at all. We were there for dinner and got to watch the sunset from our side, which was gorgeous. They did remove the blinds in the middle of our dinner to open up the views, which was a nice touch. They started us off with a welcome drink, a tequila based mix of something. Not my favorite but a nice gesture. Cocktails we ordered ourselves were delicious. Service was great. Our waiter was very nice, very animated. Personally I prefer to be left alone a little more but that is just my preference, nothing against him at all, he did a great job. The bread was a little stale and lukewarm. For a restaurant at this level that is something worth improving. It comes from a bread station near the entrance on the left side and it was clearly not freshly warmed. Food was very good though. I had salmon with crab stuffing which was delicious. My husband had a steak that was cooked well overall but one side was better cooked than the other and the middle was a little cold. Still edible, still medium, just not perfect for what you are paying here. We both had hash browns which were great. This is not a cheap restaurant and we knew that going in, so the expectations are higher and the steak could have been more consistent. Quality food, quality ingredients, beautiful setting. We would come back. Not an everyday place for anyone but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.

    Overall worst experience at a restaurant i've ever had. The smell of sewage in the lobby should set your expectations because it was shit. Food was bland and everything needed more salt. The lobster gratin was overly fishy and either not fresh or overcooked. The mac and cheese was good the asparagus and mashed potatoes both needed more seasoning. We ordered the lamb medium rare but it came out medium well. The steak was boring and the added Chimichurri was nothing more than parsley and oil. The gnocchi we got was 75% mushrooms and 25% gnocchi. The waiter was practically non-existent, we went at dinner time and they sat us where the sun was blinding me the entire time, ruining our experience. We asked two separate waiters to lower the blinds and both said they would, but neither did. When I expressed that the sun blinding me was ruining our experience the waiter asked what he could do to help and i asked him to take the cheapest item, a burger, off the tab and split the checks, he said no problem. We received the check all on one and the burger wasn't removed. Then I asked again, and again he said sure, the next bill was split but he still did not remove it from the bill and he blamed the manager, it seems like nobody is willing to take accountability. Additionally, there is automatic 18% "service fee" added to the bill, I'm still trying to figure out what was "serviced" since they couldn't even lower the blinds. I would have had a better night anywhere else but here. Don't waste your time or your money here.

    My family came here for the first time for a graduation celebration for my brother and had a pleasant time. The restaurant was decorated nicely for Christmas and had a warm, low light atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive, explained every menu in detail and our waters were topped up often throughout the meal. My brother first tried some salmon nigiri, and said the salmon was high quality. I got the Pork Tomahawk, and it was very good. It could have been a bit more moist, but I found it enjoyable. For sure indulge in one of the sauces if you get it. My partner got the lamb rack. He raved about the tzatziki style sauce and found it very enjoyable. My mom got the salmon dish from the mains, and said it was the best salmon she'd ever had. My brother got the real standout, which was the (I think) Kansas City striploin. One of the best steaks I've had in my life for sure. Cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. We all shared an Apple dessert that was lovely, especially the high quality ice cream that came with it. Kindly, the restaurant also brought out a complementary special occasion dessert of cake pops and cookies. Overall, you may note that the prices are steep (and I agree), but this is very much a special occasion style place. I would return for another occasion like a birthday or anniversary in the future, but not for anything day to day.

    Prefect spot to start our Dallas weekend. My husband always wanted to eat here and now he gets to take me! A great date night. Before the elevator ride to the top I was offered a tequila ranch water. We were seated at our table. My chair felt a little low for the table. But still a great set up. My husband had an old fashioned to start. We got wine to go with our mains. For the table they gave us Japanese milk bread. Very good. To start we... the menu is huge! We got the oyster Rockefeller and we both had the delicious lobster bisque. But for the price you pay I wished I got more than two lumps of lobster in my soup. But it was still good. Our mains. Was sushi. We wished there was more to the main than the small portions we got. Good thing we did two appz. But we could have done with some more... So needless to say we had to get dessert. I indulged in the turtle creek peanut butter bar. A little dense and perfectly paired with my light main option. My husband got the caramel basque cheesecake. Wow! Yummy So glad we got to experience the Crown Block together. We could reserve this as a nice date night.

    After having such a wonderful experience last time we decided to come back here for my birthday. This experience was nothing like the one before. We were about 10 minutes late for our reservation because of traffic. We tried to call the restaurant 3 times to let them know and there wasn't an answer. When we got there we told them we had been trying to call to let them know about us running behind. She brushed us off and said "oh we were really busy." When we got off the elevator you talk to the next host/hostess for your reservation. Because we were a little late the gentleman let us know that we had 2 options. We could get the table he had booked for us but we would have to be finished in a certain amount of time or they could put us at a different table. We chose to get a different table so we wouldn't feel rushed. Our server was lovely. She was patient with me and my indecision about almost everything. SHE IS THE REASON THERE ARE STILL 2 STARTS. While the food looked good. Almost everything came out wrong. Under cooked or it just tasted nasty to us. I appreciated their effort for trying but this wasn't the best birthday meal.

    This has become our kids favorite birthday celebration spot! We went a couple of weeks ago for just a celebration. We were greeted with a ranch water before the elevator ride at the lower lobby. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. The service is always top notch and the food can come out fast (almost too fast at times!). We've had drinks, the tuna cone, the chicken nugget app, the burger, the popcorn shrimp, gnocchi, and mac and cheese. Everything has always been tasty. The spot is $$$$ but you should know that before showing up. The burger was a little on the dry side but all the other food was very tasty. They have an extensive wine collection and the ambiance is outstanding. Make sure you ask for a window table to enjoy the amazing views!

    I mean what can I say view was nice, our server was amazing, he was cool. But , Our tuna cones were warm (it's raw fish) and tasted of nothing. The Cesar salad was not good/ bad bitter no flavor. They dropped half our oysters on the floor and the were mangled when they got us new ones. A few things I ordered did not come out when they were supposed to, they forgot a few things with our mains and apps. So people at the table had to wait to eat. The mains were actually not hot , came out almost cold, and we waited AGAIN as our staggered desserts came out. Just bad performance, kitchen needs help. Would not go back for the food. Maybe for the view , maybe, which is how I think most people will feel leaving here. Strive for a better guest experience. Don't think the owners care.

    Being a Vegas local I instantly thought of our restaurant at the Stratosphere when I heard about Crown Block. That being said I needed to come give it a try. I came here for a pre dinner drink + appetizer but I wish this could have been my main stop for the night. There were so many options to choose from on the menu it was hard to decide, but the shrimp is definitely a must! You definitely get the NYC feel as you overlook all of the tall buildings while enjoying great cocktails. This has to be a place to try when visiting Dallas.

    My family and I visited Crown Block for my father's birthday and left with full hearts and even fuller stomachs. While some might assume a restaurant with such a view is a "gimmick," Crown Block proves exactly why it's featured in the Michelin Guide. We started with the large Seafood Tower, which was well worth the price. It featured a fresh salmon crudo, delicious East Coast oysters, and a top tier of jumbo prawns, lobster tails, and crab claws. For our mains, we shared the Cowboy Ribeye, Porterhouse, Lamb Rack, Branzino, and Green Circle Brick Chicken. While everything was excellent, the Cowboy Ribeye was the standout--seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The ambiance is lovely; it's dimly lit with elegant table lamps, allowing you to fully enjoy the Dallas skyline. This was my second visit to the Crown Block. The first time, was not as positive of an experience for food, price point, ambiance, and views. If I had left a review back then, it would've been 1 star. This second time was so much more noteworthy. Our server (I believe his name was Elijah) made the night even better. He was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty. Overall, my family and I were really happy this second go and will definitely be back!

    We went here for a Christmas party and let me just say, it was the best decision we made! The food was good.. they had a variety of meats, we really liked the brisket, chicken was okay.. the sides were great! Potato salad, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, corn bread! All of these were so good! Also, since we don't drink alcohol we asked if the bartender could make us a nonalcoholic drink and they agreed! They made us amazing mocktails, both different each time we went for it! They said they just make it then and there, so creative! We really enjoyed that! Alsooo the servers were quick to refill and take the plates away from the table when we were done! Anddd it was SPINNING!! Very slowly though but it was! Overall a very enjoyable experience!

    The View was immaculate, the customer service was good. The food was a 5/10 for me. There were 4 of us and our bill was $530. That is including 1 drink and 2 of the Bloody Mary bar. Honestly it was a nice meal but definitely NOT worth the cost. I am not sure I will be back but it was worth it to try it one time.

    My husband, mom and I came to celebrate our birthdays in Dallas for the week. We decided to come to Crown Block for the joint celebration dinner and experienced the worst service I have ever experienced. The waitress came off standoffish from the start. The whole time we kept feeling rushed and multiple times during the dinner did the servers attempt to take our plates when we were still working on our food even after stating multiple times we were still working on it. Once we told the waitress one last time we were still working on it, she proceeded to gossip and whisper about us and the exchange we had just had to two different employees right in front of our table. Then my mom ordered a ceasar salad that cost $16 and for two pieces of chicken to be added that was an extra $15. Absurd. And to top it off the waitress had asked if there were any allergies they should be made aware of, I notified her my husband has a chocolate allergy and they brought out nothing but chocolate as a celebratory dessert. Thankfully his allergy isn't severe and he can be around it. That easily could have gone bad. For such a luxurious restaurant they really need to evaluate their culinary service as it was extremely disappointing. We paid our bill and made our way out the restaurant, came across the manager and expressed our disheartening experience, he didn't even seem to care or had interest in hearing us out on why we had a terrible time.

    What's the average cost for two people for dinner?

    It depends on whether you go for brunch or dinner. We went for brunch and it was lovely. But you can expect to pay over $100 for brunch for 2 people.

    Do u have to wear a suit and tie?

    We went for brunch and it wasn't formal. Nice pants and shirt for men. For dinner, men would probably want to wear nice pants and a collared shirt. I do not believe a coat and tie is required, but if in doubt always err on the side of caution and… 

    Can you go without making a reservation?

    Yes, they do have free seating in the lounge and at the bar, however the place gets a little busy so seating is not guaranteed

    Hello, is this a kid friendly restaurant? TIA

    Yes! But I would advise to Go earlier in the evening. I went around 5pm with my 16 month old and saw plenty (at least 6 outside of my kid) of well behaved kids there.

    Sushi Bar Dallas…read more Omakase at Sushi Bar Dallas is an incredible experience from the moment you step inside. The room is intentionally intimate and very dark, with an industrial ceiling where pipes climb 20+ feet above, signaling you're in for something far from a traditional sushi bar. My only gripe came at the front of the house: the initial greeting and the rule explanation were a little too demanding and elementary for someone who is tired and paying a significant amount of money for a sushi dinner. Put the rules in an email, text and on the website i'm not in 4th grade. The hostess was pleasant, but she seemed a bit robotic in doling out the rules of the evening. The line-up system, where you wait your turn and have your name called, feels odd and reminds me of the times I visited my friend in prison and the guards lined us up against the wall by our names before they took us to the room with inmates. Uncomfortable but I do follow most rules and there was a reason for the lineup that becomes clear as you settle in. Next she takes you down a dimly lit, narrow wooden staircase and you land in a basement sanctuary of omakase heaven. Our hostess knocked and the door opened to a room that felt specially curated for this meal. Each guest found their name written in gold on a sign on the sushi bar where you are suppose to sit. The chair was a very comfortable leather chair. Each gold written name plate, marking the guest order she placed us in upstairs. My seat was at the center of the sushi bar, perfectly positioned to capture video and photos of both chefs in action. From the start, we were told we'd be eating with our hands, a nod to traditional Japanese dining. The chefs staged 17 courses with the precision of neurosurgeons, walking us through every nuance from the provenance of the seafood to the section of the fish we were eating to the age of the barrel aged soy sauce. Not a detail was missed, and timing felt both deliberate and urgent in all the right moments. The father, Jose, was laid-back and effortlessly in control, while Leo, Jose's son, emerged as a true partner in the kitchen, their dynamic reminiscent of watching a masterful, living artwork take shape. The two moved back and forth with a rhythm that felt like a collaboration at the highest level, each dish placed neatly on a flat stone in front of each of us. They would then announce with pride what we were about to inhale and wait in anticipation of our response. It was clear they take tremendous pride in their craft, presenting edible masterpieces that felt almost ceremonial. Too keep everyone happy with the time in between dishes there was an endless supply of a pickled salad that I could not stop eating. As for a favorite course, it's hard to pick one. Each bite built on the last, and the whole sequence felt cohesive, an immersive set from tartare hand roll, to Shima Aji, Madai, Uni my favorite, Hotate, Masu, Hirami, Hamachi, Bincho, Kinmedai, and something I have never heard of Zuwaigani, followed by the best Waygu I have ever had in my life and ending with a passion fruit sorbet with activated charcoal crumbles and toasted crispy coconut, I don't like coconut and I ate every bite. The pairing of technique, seasonal seafood, and f#%king great seasonings left a lasting impression or as my wife says, "my husband has food memories." If you're considering a visit, go with an open mind, a willingness to lean into the pace, and a camera ready (flash off it's one of the rules) for the moments when the chefs' artistry shines. The father-and-son team of Jose Manuel Tapia and Leo deliver something rare: not just sushi, but a storytelling meal where every plate is a page in an ongoing, delicious epic food story. At the end they will make you additional food for an additional price but it's worth it. They then walked us over to a very nice bar with a great vibe and old school Dazz Band playing like I was in a time machine and it was 1982. Great place, great food, great vibe. Be ready to drop $300 plus per person tip is included but you will want to tip the sushi chefs something extra.

    Had an amazing experience at Omakase Sushi Bar. This spot is a must if you appreciate quality sushi…read moreand a great dining atmosphere. Sat at the counter and loved watching the chefs work everything felt intentional and precise. Each piece was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The nigiri really stood out: perfectly seasoned rice, melt-in-your-mouth fish, and thoughtful touches that elevated every bite. You can tell there's serious attention to detail. The pacing of the courses was just right, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience felt relaxed but refined. It's the kind of place where you just settle in and enjoy the craft. Easily one of my favorite sushi experiences in Dallas. I'll definitely be back.

    I just recently moved to Dallas & I was recommended Namo a few times so I decided to go on a solo…read moredate out. My husband was out of town for a work trip so I thought why not ! I didn't have a reservation & I was hoping I can slide into a seat at the sushi bar. When I arrived I was greeted by Vivian, she was so sweet & welcoming. I instantly knew by her hospitality that if she wasn't able to seat me, I would come back. She was able to get me on a short wait until a seat opened at the sushi bar. I was more than happy to wait, I was offered a beverage while I waited but opted for just water tonight. The manager Alexander came back to see if I needed anything while I waited for my seat. I was seated at the sushi bar & greeted by my server. Her name was Sayaka. She has such a warm smile & energy about her. She explained the menu since it was my first time. Then I proceeded to order, I ordered a handful of nigiri's. My sushi chef was Joseph! He was so friendly, knowledgeable and made other great suggestions aside from what I ordered. Thank you chef Joseph for using his expertise to absolutely WOW ME @ the quality of the fish. The simplicity of what quality of fish & experience will make you feel. From beginning to end, my dining experience was exceptional. I am quite particular when it comes to sushi, but this exceeded my expectations. I'll be back again to visit Namo!

    FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz ****…read more WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: one of the freshest and best sushi in Dallas you can get! THE VIBE: not really a vibe tbh it was lowkey awkward lol but it's super small. The have a good patio but it was too hot. PRICE: ~$75 for two people WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9.5/10 - This is probably my favorite sushi spot ever that is up there with Uchi. The fresh was extremely fresh and so buttery it literally melted in your mouth. I definitely wanna come back for their omakase experience which wasn't too pricey compared to other omakase in Dallas. - Only thing is I don't think I was a fan of the asparagus in the roll but that's a preference. I only docked 0.5 points because it was so awkward inside LOL. The service was nice I think it's just how tight and small it is inside. - I heard good things about their to-go so I might do that or the omakase next time!
