Too Salty! Too many capers!
Carmen H.

Not an enjoyable meal and service was meh. I asked the server to offer her favorite dishes on the menu and she only came up with one, I guess that should have been my first red flag. She suggested the Gilroy Chicken, which came with mash potatoes. Where I adore capers, this dish came with way too many, almost a 1/4 cup per the dish, which made it way too salty. The sauce was gloopy instead of silky, it only had 2 pieces of artichokes per the whole dish. The mash potatoes tasted instant and lacked flavor. If this had been my 1st visit...it would have been my last. I could have made a better dish at home. Meh!

It's a finally feeling like fall in Texas. After taking in the word from church we now wanted some breakfast. We decided on Dream Cafe and it was a right choice. Our hostess greeted us with a smile and guided us to a booth. The vibes is excitement from the bar area where they had the early NFL game playing Houston vs Jacksonville. Our server David was excellent with coffee refills and menu recommendations the Bar Harbor sammich good

Crab cake Benedict
Lauren H.

First time here this morning. Service was good. Food was okay. The turkey club barely had enough toppings on it $15. The crab cake Benedict is $18-$19 and a really good amount of food but you have to like really fishy tasting crab. The queso's flavor was really good but it was quite watery. A larger mimosa is going to cost you $12 a glass. I like all of the different juice options but not a place where I would spend that much on multiple drinks. That's would add up FAST. Prices here were just surprising high and I couldn't figure out why. We sat out on the patio because it was such a nice day. Despite the fly deterrent, those little buggers were determined to land on our food. The price you pay for sitting outside with food. We may or may not come back at some point to try other items.

Farmer's scramble and complimentary pop over
Hallie S.

I've never had a pop over before and was super curious how it tastes, and compliments to us, our server gave all one to try. They're huge and flaky like an unstuffed oversized cream puff which we loved with the strawberry butter they gave alongside it. I loved my farmers scramble, it was super filling. Our server took a while to come to our table and didn't check on us often which didn't impress us, but the inside of this breakfast joint is cute and cozy. We enjoyed our stop here on our way to McKinney, for breakfast.

I used to go to the downtown location all the time but this is my first time at Richardson & it's just as good as I remembered. I even got the classic cloud pancakes & they are still so good. We sat on the patio & it was lovely. Service was smooth & fast, even on a weekend. Plenty of parking at this location.

The Elvis
Shana W.

Very cool place with a dreamy atmosphere. It would be a great place to have a small birthday brunch. There's a bar and plenty of food and drink options for anyone. The food comes in great portions and the service is extremely fast. The coffee I got was extremely sweet and not what I typically expect when getting a hazelnut latte, but it was still pretty good. Overall, a great experience.

Hot Irish coffee

We came at noon on Saturday and there was no wait. I would say this restaurant is pedestrian in all aspects. The decor is fine but unremarkable. My scrambler came at first with cold hash browns and eggs. They brought me a new plate that was warm; so good for them! The popover was the best thing. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The meal itself was fine but again, unremarkable. My husband had chicken and waffles, which was very flavorful, however the gravy had a heavy flour taste to it and the syrup was watered down to the point where there was foam on top. Unfortunately, this is not someplace we would return.

Menu

Great spot! I remember frequenting their uptown location in the quadrangle about a couple of decades ago (yes, I'm old). This spot is a bit further out but still has similar vibes. I stopped by for breakfast on a weekday with a friend. We had a great time and sat out on their patio. Great food and service. I ended up getting an omelette and it was quite tasty. The coffees and teas are also delicious. The service is attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new go to brunch spot with nice outdoor seating.

40 years and 25 miles away from the original, the latest Dream Cafe waits. Go! In 1987 I heard about a great new place to have breakfast. In what is now known as uptown, a charming ring of boutique shops anchored an older but Gentrifying niche of Dallas. In the shade of downtown Dallas The Quadrangle was " the Place" to go back in the day. One reason was to eat at the unique Dream Cafe. Abundant portions of creatively delicious food in a relaxed environment, bottomless cups of gourmet coffee and what seemed like a football field sized lawn for the kids to play on. Jump to the new Richardson location for a try. It checks all the current boxes for a decent breakfast or brunch. A bonus is,they don't close at 2 pm as is common with the new crop of eateries. No,you can show up as late as 9 pm and enjoy wine,beer and a full bar with evening repast. A large,well designed and comfortable space awaits with plenty of smiling wait staff providing excellent service. A wide and varied menu I'm convinced,has something for everyone. My crab cakes Benedict was excellent and hit the late morning breakfast spot. My companion enjoyed the " Elvis"! An enormous biscuit holding,egg, sausage,white cheese all smothered in gravy with Bacon sprinkles. Lovely dish. I'll be back for both,lunch and dinner. What are you waiting for?

I have mentioned this before, I'm not a big breakfast person, so when I do go out to eat early in the morning it better be a good experience. And Dream Cafe was just that - it was really good. Their open space dinning room in warm colors of green and orange makes you feel right at home. The wait staff was everything you hoped for when eating breakfast. They were quick to seat you, the waiter was at our table within seconds getting our drinks, and our order was taken within a few minutes. The scrambled eggs were very tasty, and they had popovers for breakfast. Another great treat for my un-normal morning breakfast event. It was a great experience and I cannot wait to come back for more pop overs!

Hazelnut latte
Polina T.

We stopped by for brunch on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised . We both got flavored lattes ( mine was half sweet ) . I got the crab cake Benedict and my friend got the wild child sandwich . Loved that lattes weren't too sweet at all . The Benedict was delicious just a little difficult to cut through and my friend loved her sandwich . They have indoor and outdoor seating . Service was good though it did take a bit for the food to come out . Would come back

Cloud Cakes
Ali L.

Overall solid place for brunch! Staff was friendly and service was quick, not too many people when we went in Monday morning. We got the sunset helps which had eggs on a tostada with beans, hashbrown, salsa, guac and sour cream. The flavor was good and I liked the runny yolk of the eggs but I wish the ratio of beans and hashbrown were more balanced. The cloud cakes were nice and fluffy. Overall would be back to try some other dishes, solid pricing and ambiance as well.

What's left of a n Irish  Coffee
Nika W.

The hubby and I are first timers ! Nice, clean spot. Fresh food, quick service, When we walked in the hostess only gave us the dinner menu, which immediately allowed disappointment to set in. We decided to ask the waiter if brunch was over and he surprisingly stated "No Everything's available !" We ordered and everything came quick, hot & fresh. I'll definitely come back !

JS International Grill is a vibe. Delicious food, chill ambiance, and great service…read more Kicked off my time with their samosas. Tried the beef, chicken, and salmon one - chicken was definitely my favorite. All of them had the perfect consistency and crunch. For the entree had the jerk chicken with lobster Mac and cheese on the side. Both were well seasoned and delicious. I'd definitely visit again.

We ordered via online and realized they relocated. Of course we had to order multiple things to get a feel of their consistency. LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT; We ordered the Pineapple Juice - (8/10) : The juice was good Hisbicus Tea - (4/10) : The tea was made with cane sugar; that defeated the purpose of a healthy and delicious tea. I really wanted it to be made with agave or date syrup. Side of Cabbage- (4/10) : Cabbage was very bland for fried cabbage, its wasn't seasoned at all and it wasn't cooked through enough to my liking. Side of Fried Brussel Sprouts - (7/10) : Brussel Sprouts were decent and actually seasoned. They just weren't mind blowingly good so a 7 was the best I could give it. Vegan Jerk Oxtail with Mushroom Rice - (8/10) : This right here was great however it was giving more vegan meatloaf then it was oxtail. We had to think of it as a meatloaf for us to be fully satisfied with the flavor. Overall though it was good and we enjoyed it. Vegan Lobster Mac and Cheese - (9/10) : This was the STAR of the show. It was delicious, creamy and the lobster pieces actually were giving lobster lowkey. We enjoyed this one the most and would return just to get this. The Ambiance of the restaurant was cool and definitely would be worth sitting in and enjoying the meals. The decor was decent inside and inside the bathroom, however, the bathroom needs to be upgraded. My rating... DEFINITELY would recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese, we will return to get it again and maybe try another vegan option. I would totally recommend, GO TRY IT OUT! They also have non-vegan options that others rave about!

Kenny's Wood Fired Grill -- A Legendary Dining Experience!…read more Chef Kenny Bowers is a legend here in DFW, and Kenny's Wood Fired Grill is a perfect example of why! Five stars across the board! From the atmosphere and service to the outstanding food, this restaurant scores perfectly in every category. The ambiance is amazing! The dark, sophisticated interior, complemented by warm accent lighting, creates an inviting and comfortable dining experience. Nicole greeted us with a genuine smile and welcoming spirit before escorting us to our table. Our server, Felicity, was exceptional! She took the time to explain the menu, highlight the specials, and offer thoughtful recommendations. We took her advice and started with the delicious bread and a cup of chicken tortilla soup. What a great beginning! The soup was mouthwatering and bursting with flavor. For our entrée, we ordered the Caesar salad topped with blackened salmon. Absolutely outstanding! Without question, one of the best salads I've ever eaten! This was a lunch visit, and every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations. Our next visit will definitely be for dinner! I wholeheartedly recommend adding Kenny's Wood Fired Grill to the very top of your must-try list. Go sooner rather than later! You'll quickly discover why Chef Kenny Bowers has earned his legendary reputation in the DFW dining scene. A truly memorable culinary experience! See you there!

Food, however, wasn't great, we came multiple times last year and it was fantastic all around, last night?... New risotto appetizer was flavorless 4/10, sauce was outstanding 9/10. Chicken meatballs were 6/10, salty, but sauce again was 8.5/10. Bread with the meatballs was 9/10. Nightly special was 9/10, chicken thigh wrapped chicken leg, amazing sauce and carrots. Special sauce with the nightly special stole the night at 9.5/10 - I'd order a bowl of that and call it a night! Magic Chicken Thighs were 6/10, overly salted and dry - side arugula salad was a salt bomb 2/10. Sweet potatoe purée was 7.5/10. Burger and fries were 7/10, solid and above average. Salmon was 7/10, slightly overcooked. Mac & Cheese was 3/10, below average, dry, almost flavorless - paid $4 for bacon topping and it was dry also. Noodles were dried out and the cheese sauce was at the bottom of the cup, tasted like they scooped in pre-made noodles, added sauce, threw it in the oven and off it went - didn't appear mixed together at the least. Carrots, solid 8/10. Overall, I'd be tempted to give it another try, the ambiance and overall feel is awesome - then hope the food is great again and make it a perfect Friday night spot, but for $275 for the 4 entree's, 2 appetizer's and 2 drinks we got last night? I'd argue it wasn't worth it.

The oysters were fresh, plump, and briny, while the cheeseburger definitely lived up to the hype. It was juicy, flavorful, and came with a crunchy pickle on the side that was the perfect complement.

The place started filling up quickly as rush hour approached. The bar was packed with people coming in for happy hour, and there was already a wait for seats, so I'd definitely recommend getting there early.

Servers walked past me, no one acknowledged me, I finally asked a server if the bar area booths were open seating or did I need to speak to the hostess. He looked at me like he didn't have a clue and at this time the hostess walks up and proceeds to help the ladies behind me. I politely let her know that I had been waiting before them and had not been helped yet to which the ladies smiled and told the hostess "yes, she was here first" - I told her I was here for happy hour and was wondering if there was a place at the bar. She proceeded to tell me there was a waiting list but then told me I could sit out in the patio. I asked would the specials be honored at the patio to which she said yes BUT she needed the table back by 5:30pm. Now mind you, it's 4pm. I took the table and was joined by my guest and Mave was our server. Mave was what saved this experience as she provided great customer service, was extremely informative, attentive and made some great suggestions. I was going to get the cheeseburger however ended up getting the lobster roll because of Maves suggestion. I asked that it be warmed and it came with a side of fries. I also ordered a martini. My guest ordered the lobster roll as well and got an old fashion. The drinks were spectacular, my lobster roll wasn't warm enough to the point where it was cold in the middle and my guest had pieces of shell in her roll. The fries were seasoned and we both enjoyed them. 5:30 came and surprisingly there were lots of open available tables around us that I felt some type of way that the hostess would have said that to me. Overall I can say been there, done that.
