It's a great family and friends atmosphere. The service was great and the food was amazing. I ordered the Double Smash Burger and it was delicious; they have this spicy bbq sauce that pairs well with it. The waffle fries were good too, soft and crispy, and seasoned perfectly. I'm looking forward to coming back!

First time at Birdies, and honestly perhaps my last time due to it being so far away from my home…read more Upon arrival we were told it would be a 30 min wait, unless we wanted to sit at the bar or open high top. We opted for bar seating and were completely ignored, we then moved onto a high top that opened up and again, completely ignored. About 10 mins later a young man, which I later found out was the manager, Joe, came to our table to ask if we head been helped. I explained to him that we hadn't and within minutes we had menus and a great server, Michael, helping us out. This place is super busy...however being overlooked in two spots doesn't make sense. We ordered their famous Caesar wrap 4/10, waffle fries (best I've ever had) and popcorn chicken 10/10. Super bummed the wrap was underwhelming, over priced and small compared to similar restaurants. Overall, not the best experience but definitely a must try if you're looking to try a new spot. Shout out to Joe and Michael for helping out!

The rigatoni pasta was out of this world--extremely creamy and flavorful. The pesto pasta was also delicious! It was a little spicy, but still so good. My parents ordered the paella with different types of seafood, and they really enjoyed it as well. The passion fruit panna cotta dessert--OMG! Just try it.. The pistachio and chocolate dessert wasn't my favorite because the pistachio tasted a little more like pistachio flavoring rather than natural pistachio. The restaurant itself feels like a little dollhouse--so cute! The music was on point. It was a little loud, but I totally understand the vibe. We left extremely happy and had such a wonderful experience. I would definitely come back!

This place has panache in a way that I didn't expect, thinking I'd be walking into something…read moreSister-esque or even The Charles-esque. Scilla has PRESENCE, starting from the nicely landscaped circular drive that makes you feel like you're pulling up to someone's summer mansion. (Valet is complimentary, and essential given the location.) The prominent awning, pushing the restaurant's logo far away from the office building that looms behind it, was so effective that I literally didn't even notice the office windows. I was too taken in by the greenery, the expansive patio off to the side, and those stunning double doors. Open those doors, and it's hard not to stare at the gorgeous bar. FYI for anyone hoping to grab a drink at the bar, all seats were full at 4:55 pm on a Thursday. The place filled up quickly after 5, and by the time we left around 7:30 (don't judge our granny dinner hour), there were people sitting in little corners by the entrance that I hadn't even noticed when I first walked in. Our waitress seemed a bit inexperienced. First, our table was set up so that the three of us would have been staring directly at a tree in the corner of the restaurant. Super weird. We switched the place settings around so that we were looking out at the dining room. Next, after asking about any allergies and writing down my shellfish allergy, the waitress proceeded to recommend the frutti di mare, which is basically a shellfish bomb. She described the Dirty Sister cocktail as a dirty martini with pink peppercorn, which is exactly what it looks like on the menu, so I ordered that and was startled when it arrived with aquafaba foam (inexplicably NOT listed on the menu). Moreover, it tasted like drinking salt water. I'd been told that substitutions to the cocktails (I'd asked for it to be made with gin instead of vodka) weren't allowed "to respect the integrity of the cocktail" (we got a kick out of that), but I'm not sure this drink has any integrity, masquerading around like a dirty martini (which I would have loved). Have some respect, Dirty Sister. To her credit, the waitress asked me how I liked it, and when I hesitated, she was very insistent on making me send it back, which I appreciated, because I NEVER send food or drinks back. I always feel so bad about it. But yeah, that one...woof. Just order an off-menu dirty martini if that's what you're looking for. Also, my replacement drink -- a simple glass of wine -- didn't arrive until after our second course was already on the table. That one I really can't wrap my head around. A few comments on the food menu: - Skip the caviar bite ($19 each). The toast was bland, and the lemon verbena ricotta -- mildly sweet, and well done in itself -- overpowered the flavor of the caviar. - Frankly, I'd also skip the hamachi crudo, but that's mostly because Hugo's has ruined me for all other hamachi crudo in Dallas. Also, why is this dish on EVERY menu in Dallas right now?? Do it right or not at all, guys. And "right" doesn't mean doused in sweet juices and apple slices and jalapenos. The fish should be good enough to speak for itself, and this fish just wasn't the quality I'd expect from Duro. - We had a gluten-free friend with us, so all the pastas got subbed to be gluten-free, which (to our surprise) meant that they all came out as the exact same pasta, just with different sauces. Didn't love that, but I also can't fault them for it. - The branzino was fine but a bit dry. - Beets and beans? We all had envisioned cannellini beans and were startled when it came out as a pile of green beans. As with the Dirty Sister not mentioning that it's a frothy aquafaba drink, this is another instance of the menu being a bit misleading/confusing. - Don't let the idea of the most foul dessert pairing known to man, chocolate and cherry, dissuade you from ordering the spumoni tart. The tart is DIVINE (if you love pistachio), and the cherry sorbet is placed off to the side, where you can either eat it separately or ignore it. This dessert knocked my socks off. - Shoutout to the waitress for sending a free panna cotta for our gluten-free friend. It was lovely. TL;DR: The Dirty Sister is not a dirty martini (nor is it a good drink in its own right). Didn't love the starters we chose (skip the caviar bites and the hamachi crudo, unless you're *Dallas*). I need to go back to try the regular versions of the pastas. The branzino was fine but a bit dry. I could be talked into swinging by for the spumoni tart alone. I have enough faith in Duro to trust that there are some delicious items on the menu and that we just didn't order well, mostly due to the constraints of a shellfish allergy and a gluten-free diet, plus my companions inexplicably not liking lamb. 3 stars for ambiance, dessert, and optimism (mine). -1 for some food misses (not counting the pastas), and -1 for service being a little spotty. I think these things can be remedied.

What really turned me off was a list of NO's. This was a Baby Shower and the guest of honor wanted to invite about 14 people. The answer from the Restaurant was NO, we ended up having 11 people and were squeezed into a table for 10. When spending the time there, it was no reason they couldn't put us at one of their longer tables by the half boots and just added more seating to accommodate a larger party for her. It seemed absolutely ridiculous since they weren't full during the time that we were there and they could've made more money just by allowing us to bring more people. When we got there since there was barely any room for us all we put our bags and gifts behind us on the stretch of quartz table. That too was a big NO. So we were stuck holding our bags and they offered to take the gifts and bring them back. I asked them if they had one of those bag hangers. That answer again was NO. To decorate the guest of honor wanted to put flowers in the middle of the table. That was also a NO. Then came the delivery of our food. I had ordered the Chinese chicken salad, which I asked them to toss with light dressing and then add some on the side in case. They brought me the salad with no dressing, and a smaller bowl plate. There was no room between all of us stuck together to toss a salad so I sent it back and I asked them to toss the salad like I asked them. There was confusion amongst the servers. My issue is with such a high-end concept of a restaurant, they should have high-end customer service. And it was really crappy Customer service. That doesn't mean that the server didn't do a good job, he did. But it was all these crazy rules that made it unenjoyable. I've learned that I would never bring a group of people to this establishment for any event. It might be OK for just a party of two or four. I don't tend to give really bad reviews unless it's very warranted. This place was unfortunate, considering it could be so much more.

Our server, Miles, was genuinely friendly and warm, with great suggestions to match. He struck that ideal balance of attentive without hovering, and he made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down.

It's the kind of food that proves "light lunch" doesn't have to mean settling. The atmosphere deserves its own mention. The Southern aesthetic is done beautifully: country music in the background, thoughtful decor, and an easy, inviting energy. Everyone working was friendly, and it showed in the overall experience. Whether you're local or just passing through, this one is worth the stop. Highly recommend.

But this past evening, we were looking for some drinks, good vibes, and a fun night out -- and Darlin' absolutely gave it to us. I was also STARVING, so naturally we had to try some food... and WOW. So. So. SO good. The cocktails were just as good as the atmosphere. Ashley had a dirty martini, Jason had a Texas Old Fashioned (my man ), and I had a strawberry fizz since I'm pushing 8 months pregnant. For dinner/late-night snacks, we had: Duck Fries -- HEAVENLY. Seriously, so much flavor. They came with a red mozzarella sauce and some kind of tartar/aioli situation that was absolutely delicious. Chicken Caesar Salad -- crisp, fresh, and the chicken was extremely flavorful and perfectly cooked. Sometimes a Caesar salad is just a Caesar salad... this one was not. Burrata -- FRESH, creamy, and full of flavor. My only complaint? The little bagel chips were TOO crunchy for me Give me something I can easily bite into, please! The menu is fabulous, but honestly, the drink menu is even better. The whole place had this fun, comfortable, upbeat cowboy vibe -- everyone was dressed for the occasion, the music was on point, and the energy was just GOOD. Is it a little pricey? Yep. But for the food, cocktails, music, atmosphere, and genuinely good attitude of the staff, I think it's worth it. Even better ran into about 3 people I've know from college on. Always a good nostalgic feeling. Darlin', you officially went from "TikTok place I wanted to try" to "place I'd actually go back to." Good food. Great cocktails. Great music. Great vibes.
