If you're in Rockwall and deciding where to go, The Downing makes it easy. It is truly a GEM…read more The cocktails are always on point--this time I tried the coconut mint margarita and it did not disappoint. They even have great mocktail options, which I love when you want the experience without the alcohol. The most unique one that I've tried is the Pho Ya - it's Pho inspired and actually delicious. Cocktails and the menu are seasonal so you always get surprises. My favorite food options are the Salmon Poke, Beef & Rice Bowl, and the mussels. What really sets this place apart is the people- starting with the owners. The servers actually remember you, the owners are intentional about creating a unique, welcoming space, and you can tell they genuinely care about the community and giving back. The whole team feels connected--you can see they truly enjoy working together. And the vibe? Cozy in the best way. The patio feels like you're hanging out at home, just with better drinks and food. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--and recommending to everyone.

The service for me is that of a Michelin star as well as the flavor profiles they can pack into their food. This will always be a must-visit, and the el jefe cubano is spot on! Best Cuban sandwich I've had in Texas. If you haven't been and you're local, you must come, and if you are just passing, it is a must-try.

It's a great place for date night. It also has a bar/cafe which is a little weird when you add in the ambiance of the restaurant. It was like two competing environments - quite dinner vs chaos of a coffee house. The food over all was good. We enjoyed the mussels, brussels, and tomato basil soup. The pasta I ordered, while flavorful, was over cooked and slathered in too much sauce, in my opinion. The meatballs were ok, but I've had better. Staff was nice, friendly, and attentive. They checked in on us while still giving us time and privacy for a quiet dinner. I would love to just spend the day reading here given the vibes.

My husband discovered Wade's Landing by chance. He happened to be driving by and noticed the new…read morerestaurant. It was the valet service that caught his eye and peaked his interest that it might be a place we would enjoy. The inside of the restaurant is decorated simply, yet nicely, in warm, welcoming colors. The staff is primarily made up of respectful young people who have been trained well in customer service. They were a bit understaffed on a Sunday afternoon, which made service a little slow, but we were in no hurry and I completely know what it's like to work with not enough people, so I have no complaints about that, although there were several tables near us that weren't happy about the slow service. We got cocktails to start and they were good. I wanted the cocktail with the peanut butter tequila, but they ran out of the tequila, which was a little off putting, but The Grind and Day Drinking were suitable options. We ordered the deviled eggs appetizer and the presentation was lovely. I appreciated the smooth texture of the yolked stuffing, but there was absolutely no flavor to it. No seasoning at all. It did have a tasty bacon jam garnish, which helped, but I definitely wouldn't order them again. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The food looked tantalizing enough, the chicken was fried well with a good crispy batter and a moist center. But again, the flavor was lacking. A little seasoning would've made all the difference. The waffle was okay. My husband had the French toast, which was a little soggy, but he said it was good. We will give it a little time, let them work out the kinks, and we may try Wade's Landing again...maybe for Happy Hour or dinner.

The harbor is wonderfully peaceful on weekdays, making it the perfect place for an elegant, unhurried lunch. We'll definitely be coming back--it has become our new favorite spot.

As a huuuuge pasta lover, I'd rate it an 8.5/10. I'll definitely be back!

They also had a food truck offering their own items. My advice is to get the food from the food truck.

This is one of my favorite brunch spots! The staff is friendly and accommodating. I love crepes but…read moreI don't like sweet crepes. I asked the server to ask the kitchen if they could make me a savory crepe, and they did it for me. I had two crepes with spinach, mushrooms, and mozzarella with an extra side of hollandaise. It was so delicious! It was everything I was hoping it would be. I think I was charged a base price for the crepes, then individually charged for each added ingredient. But it was no problem because it's not on the menu, and it was no more expensive than the sweet crepes anyway. Plus, they accommodated me with me no problem. Their lattes are really good as well. The restaurant itself is a nice quiet place with lots of natural light and open space. There is a bar also, for the bar people who don't like to sit at tables or in booths. Also, the Benedict and brunch potatoes are really good too!

Today, we went to Zanata's for my birthday. Honestly, our service was just mediocre compared to all of our other experiences here. It seemed as if our server was ready to leave or something as we overheard her telling a new server coming in that our table had already ordered. Maybe that is part of the reason why part of my meal was forgotten. She made sure she to let us know that she took it off, great- because we didn't get it. I would have ordered a second glass of wine, but she never came back by to ask. When she came by to ask about dessert, it came out as "you didn't want the dessert menu did you?"" ..... no, not asking that way. Our food was good and I'll give it another try, but not in a Saturday afternoon and definitely not for my birthday. So we left and are going elsewhere for dessert and drinks.
