Flower Mound's River Walk may provide a picturesque backdrop for Whiskey & Smoke but this place is…read morestill more hidden than gem. In other words, you'd never catch a glimpse of it by simply driving through town (thank goodness for Google maps!) and even many of the locals are unaware of its existence. We did manage to find it though, with hopes that the food would be worth the effort it took to get there. My husband and I both started with caesar salads. Other than being a little heavy on the dressing, they tasted ok. The pecan crusted salmon and mac & cheese were next for me. The coating on the salmon tasted like the same stuff a Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole is topped with. Unfortunately, that's the one thing I never touch because I'm just not a fan of the flavors. Unlike the salmon and salad, there was nothing objectionable about the mac & cheese. My husband ordered a filet that arrived really cold and underdone. It was closer to mooing than medium rare like he requested! Even after they took it back to the kitchen to cook it some more, it came back pretty raw. The chocolate cake we had for dessert was probably the best part of the meal. It was so rich and decadent that we didn't even miss the raspberry sauce (I assumed they purposefully left it out since we got it to go). Considering that the management here has opened and closed so many different restaurants in this same spot, you would think that they would be experts by now at running a successful establishment. But for some reason, they continue to put out the kind of lackluster food that can be found for a lower price at a major chain. At least they can boast having a beautiful view if nothing else.

The food here is not as expensive as I'd heard, and it was delicious. Try the smoked chicken and jalapeño cheddar sausage - nothing was dried out, all of it was fresh. The green beans were sautéed with garlic, and the elote was seasoned really well. The star of the plate was the smoky, rich flavor of the barbecue sauce. The bartender may have been having an off night; the martini was icy but oddly bland, and the old fashioned was OK but not great.

This was my first time at Tycoon. I have been to Volstead and really liked it. They are similar,…read morebut Tycoon feels a little "fancier". The decor is very plush. I love the bar. I can't wait to go back and sit at the bar. Our waiter Shawn was great. Very calm, helpful and available when we needed him. The Lavender Lemonade is a delicious cocktail and a great way to start the meal. The Fat Cat Fries has so many flavors going on. They were good. I LOVED the Blistered Shishitos and Crabmeat Dip. The naan it was served with was warm and abundant. I do not like when you order a dip and hardly get any chips or bread for dipping. Tycoon covered it! Our friend had the French Onion Soup and liked it. The Steak Frites (substituted with broccolini) that our friend got looked amazing. My husband had the Wagyu Sliders and really enjoyed them. I had the Mediterranean Primavera with blacked chicken that our waiter recommended adding. It was very good. They have a nice wine selection. Not a huge list, but good.

So I have been wanting to try Tycoon for quite some time now. I decided to make reservations there…read morefor Valentine's Day, which was probably my first mistake. I made my reservation on Resy. A couple of days later I get a call from the restaurant saying they needed a $25 deposit over the phone, in case we cancel. I have dined at a lot of restaurants but never have I made a deposit upfront, they would just have a card on file and charge it if there is a no show. The lady on the phone (Chelsea) said we would only have 90 minutes at our table, which is standard for most restaurants. Nevertheless we paid $25 and kept our reservation, since Valentine's Day is busy time I figured this was the reason for all of this. Upon our arrival we were seated right away, and as soon as we sat down the hostess let us know that they would need our table by 5:45pm, because that is when the next reservation would be there. Right off the bat I felt rushed. I hated the table we were sat in, because we were so close in proximity to other people. Tycoon is very pretty inside, but if you are not seated in one of their spacious booths, the other tables are so close together, you will definitely hear other people's conversations. Let's talk about the food, I ordered the Lavender Lemonade as my cocktail and that was really good. For our appetizer we had the Deviled eggs, and I was excited because I love Deviled Eggs, but these were just okay. I didn't love how over stuffed they were, I just felt like it was too much. For my entree I had the Chicken Parmesan which I thoroughly enjoyed. I thought my meal was flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My husband had the sea bass and he loved his food. To end the night we shared their Dessert Trio and that was delicious, aside from the Creme Brûlée because that had no taste. Their service was good. Our waiter was nice and attentive. I definitely didn't feel rushed by him, but the same hostess stood near waiting for me to take my last bite of pasta so she could take the plate from the table. We were watching the time the whole time to make sure we got out of there on time. Overall I was disappointed. I get that Valentine's Day is busy day for restaurants but I don't want to be rushed through a dinner that should be enjoyable.

Great ambience when you walk in!…read moreFood: The spring rolls and egg rolls were delicious, and when it came time to order my meal, I just asked Karen to pick something for me. I still don't know exactly what I ate but it was PHENOMENAL chicken dish! Whatever it was, I would definitely order it again! And then there are Kim's (Mom's) pastries... OH MY! So light, fresh and absolutely delicious. Do not leave without trying one! They also have a great beer selection and some really good craft cocktails. My favorite was the Pandan Paloma--so refreshing and delicious! The food is wonderful, the people are so welcoming, and you can tell how much heart they've put into this place. Please go support this small business. We definitely want to see them stick around! A must try--you won't regret it!

I ordered : Fried rice (2.5/5) - good amount of veggies, but way too greasy. Tofu bites (3/5) - crispy outside, but lacked flavor. Garlic noodles (3/5) - decent, but also on the greasy side. Mango chamoy smoothie (2.5/5) - more like a slushy than a smoothie. Overall, the food was just average. Nothing terrible, but nothing I'd go out of my way to get again. If you're into heavier, greasier dishes, you might enjoy it more than I did.

We had no idea it would take an hour and a half for our food to show up. And when it did well, here's how it went. My wife had the chicken piccata and I had the wise guy pizza. My wife enjoyed her plate. Based on the last time I ordered the same pizza a year ago what showed up on the table was a sad echo of something that used to be good. The sauce was very thin and to the point of almost being nonexistent. The meatballs were very stingy as if they were trying to increase their margins by short serving a basic pizza. Overall, it was very dry and lacking of any discernible taste. No doubt because it sat in the kitchen for quite awhile, given the unusual duration that it took for our food to show up. I've had better frozen pizzas from the grocery store. It was a very dry and disappointing for something that used to be overloaded with flavor, sauce and meatball chunks. It was a marked contrast from when we had been here a year ago. What used to be a regular go to has turned into a sad disappointment. I'm putting it down to perhaps they had an off night. But we're not in a hurry to come back anytime soon to see if that was the case.

I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken, and I have to say, it's one of the best Pad See Ews I've had! They definitely didn't hold back on the chicken--the strips were generous, and the flat noodles were cooked just right. The dish was very flavorful and well-seasoned. My only issue was the broccoli, which was a little too raw for my liking. I think another couple of minutes of cooking would have made it perfect. My husband ordered the Chicken Yuzu, but unfortunately, we found it quite bland. He ended up taking it home so I could jazz it up a little. We also ordered the vegetable spring rolls. The filling was a bit mushy, and the inner wrapper was soft rather than crispy. They came out very quickly, so I'm wondering if they were rushed or not cooked long enough. This is probably something I wouldn't order again. The service was good. Our waitress was attentive, responsive, and pleasant. The ambience was quiet, with not many diners, although we were there around 4:00 PM, so that may have been the reason. One thing to note: the menu states that an 18% service charge will be added, and for parties of 5 or more, it's 20%. I'd definitely come back for the Pad See Ew, though I'd probably skip the spring rolls and Chicken Yuzu next time.

I didn't want to write them off completely before giving them a second chance though, so I came back with my family for an early Mother's Day dinner. On a busy Friday night they were fully prepared for the rush. Fresh chips and salsa arrived at our table just as we did. Happy hour hadn't ended yet, so we ordered a round of margaritas that also showed up quickly. Already this was an improvement over the previous visit. It was when we got our entrees that I was reminded of why I originally lost interest in this place. My chicken and cheese enchilada meal was about as average as it gets. My husband and sons had the same impression of their meals. To be clear, there was nothing wrong with any of the food. At the same time, there was nothing special about it either. Another thing that didn't help the situation was when I asked for their spiciest salsa they brought me a tiny cup that contained maybe a couple tablespoons of it. I didn't realize until the bill came that they charge extra for it. Furthermore, it was barely hotter than their regular salsa. Had I known all that, I would never have bothered with the request. Now, I have no problem with garden variety Tex Mex as long as it's priced accordingly, but I expected more here due to their higher prices. Fortunately, there's a Tex Mex place on practically every street corner and Mi Dia isn't the only game in town.
