We used to have night out with dinner but now we do lunch. We chose this restaurant based on the D magazine article about the best burgers in dallas. Goodwin's burger was rated one of the best and it lived up to their reputation. We had one burger medium rare and one burger medium well and we had one patty melt, along with salad and fries. All were cooked perfectly. Service was a 10 and the ambiance was a 10. Drinks were great and they had every bourbon we asked for. I would definitely return with my spouse to spoil her.

Food-wise this place is probably a solid three plus. But I'm giving them four stars for the…read morebartenders. Not having reservations we were told that we needed to sit in the bar. That was not such a bad thing because honestly, the bar had a cooler vibe than the dining room did. But the large part of that was the two bartenders that were both very personable and kept the show rolling while we ate. The food to me was pretty solid, but I will stop short of saying it was fantastic. My Chicken was over-cooked and therefore dried out, but still tasty. The Frites were excellent. The Filet was excellent as well. Pro tip-sit at the bar, the bartenders keep it lively and fun!

Came to Rye for a pop-up tasting menu featuring RJ Yoakum, and the whole night was a vibe from…read morestart to finish. We arrived early and grabbed pre-dinner cocktails on the patio, which honestly set the tone for the evening. The fire pit tables + evening atmosphere were perfect. We kept it classic with Old Fashioneds and martinis, and both were very well executed. Simple, balanced, and clearly made by someone who knows what they're doing. There was also a blueberry graham cracker cocktail (can't remember the name, unfortunately) that was surprisingly delicious and easily could've been dessert in a glass. The tasting itself was an 8-course menu and absolutely incredible. Since this was a one-night pop-up, I won't go into detail on the food, but every course was thoughtful, creative, and genuinely delicious. One of those meals where you're excited for the next plate the second the last one's cleared. Service really stood out. The team was attentive without hovering, cleaned up seamlessly between courses, and made sure our drinks were never empty. They also offered solid wine pairings that complemented the menu really well and elevated the experience overall. One extra thing that really sealed it for me: after dinner, the second chef Taylor and the owner/manager Tanner came over and hung out with us for a bit. As someone who's a bit of a foodie nerd, I genuinely appreciate when chefs and operators take the time to talk food, concepts, and the thought behind the menu. It made the experience feel personal and intentional, not just transactional. If this pop-up is any indication of what Rye is capable of, it's definitely a place worth returning to. Great atmosphere, great drinks, and a team that clearly cares about the experience. Would absolutely come back.

A cozy atmosphere with a brilliant musical soundtrack, a standout…read morebar menu (so impressed, we went back a second night), and a highly engaged staff that consistently demonstrated attentive, warm hospitality. Our dining party enjoyed the Chef's tasting menu, which was expertly presented and beautifully prepared. Our server, Trinity, explained each course and was readily available for follow up questions. She was friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the preparations. Executive Chef Taylor Rause was frequently in the dining room, too, assisting in service and in explanations, sometimes tying the food back to personal experiences, which was delightful to hear and understand. The overarching theme of ancient grains permeated the entire tasting menu, creating a delicious and unifying thread. The small courses ranged from good to outstanding. Standouts for us were a pavé of celery root and green apple with a spelt crisp, a tiny masa tortilla stuffed with turkey chorizo, and a stunningly smoky wagyu spinalis with an unbelievable Bordelaise. A couple dishes missed those high marks a tad, such as a chicken leg with an einkorn biscuit that was light on flavor and a bit under-seasoned. All of us likewise felt the desserts lacked some of the same uniqueness of the previous plates. But these are small quibbles in an otherwise memorable experience that was capped by a brief visit to the kitchen, a good chance to wholeheartedly thank Chef Rause and Chef de Cuisine Jay Vopatek for a great night. High recommended.

Excellent experience at Quarter Acre. Our waiter recommended the salmon and assured us that we…read morecouldn't go wrong. He was correct. Arguably best salmon in Dallas. They served some incredible sourdough and butter. There is an open kitchen, but it doesn't feel like the restaurant is watching the kitchen, it feels like the kitchen is keeping a careful eye on the dining room and making sure everything goes well. We ended the evening with gelato across the street (although I'm sure QA has amazing dessert) and are excited to replicate this perfect date night itinerary again.

My husband and I celebrated our fourth anniversary at Quarter Acre this year and the experience was…read morephenomenal! It's been on our list for many years so we were so glad to finally be able to try it and are already looking forward to coming back. It wasn't too busy on a Thursday night, so the hostess sat us at one of the circular 4-tops so we'd have a bit more room. We had perfect lighting coming in during golden hour for most of the meal, so the photos I snapped on my phone ended up turning out amazing. The whole experience was great from start to finish including all the staff and servers that stopped by to bring out and explain the dishes. We went with the full tasting menu since we were celebrating and it was a wonderful introduction to the restaurant's food. Our cocktails were great too; I really enjoyed my piña colada milk punch and my husband's cucumber highball & tarragon sour were both super refreshing. The tasting menu began with some light bites. The sourdough & fried oysters were delicious but we were most impressed by the panisse with trout roe: super light, not too greasy, crisp outside and creamy inside with some lovely brine from the roe. The second course may have been my favorite of the night -- the kingfish ceviche was a perfect balance of flavors and textures from the coconut foam to the gentle heat from the fresno peppers. I could've eaten a bucket of that on my own! Third course of smoked beef tartare really brought the wow factor with presentation and was equally tasty. White asparagus was just a tad oversauced for me, but the miso marmite was so good I almost didn't mind, and it went so well with the crab. Seared grouper was cooked perfectly, so flaky with just the right amount of crisp crust from the sear, and went super well with the various sauces included & the brightness from the pickled scallion. The meat course was definitely the best lamb I've had in recent memory: it actually tasted like lamb without any lingering gaminess and was wonderfully tender, perfectly medium rare, with crispy skin and wonderfully rendered fat. I enjoyed the peas three ways but loved the chanterelle mushrooms even more. Dessert was a lovely light finish and I quite enjoyed that it was visually similar to course 2! Coconut panna cotta, meringue batons, tart sorbet & kaffir lime caviar, more foam -- such playful flavors and textures! And we were stuffed by then but still loved the anzac biscuits and cherry cola marshmallows. So impressed by the flavor of the marshmallows in particular, it really captured cherry cola perfectly. Pacing wasn't too fast or too slow; we never felt rushed at all but were in and out within 1:45 which felt unheard of for such a well developed tasting menu. Now that we've been once we can't wait to return and try other things on the menu! Thanks to Chef Archibald and team for their hospitality and making our special night so wonderful.

HIDE Christmas Pop-Up Edition From the outside, HIDE was…read moresuper festive and eye-catching. Inside, there are two themed rooms: a toy-themed main bar and a Grinch-inspired second room, which I loved . There's also a rooftop, which I didn't make it up to see but adds to the overall appeal. The drinks were cute and very Christmas-inspired, which is perfect for the holiday vibe. Food-wise was a little less exciting. I had the Nashville hot dry-rub wings (waiter recommended). They were just okay. Definitely not the flavor I expected. I should've gone with the honey hot. The dirty fries, loaded with cheese, bacon, and peppers were really good, especially with ranch and ketchup . If you're looking for a cute holiday pop-up with festive décor and fun drinks, HIDE is worth checking out. Food and drinks start around $15 and up, so you're definitely paying for the experience

We were seated immediately and our server was very friendly and got us started with water immediately. My wife informed her of the food allergies and informed us that whatever he is interested in, she will let us know if he can have it or if they are able to modify it. I ordered the Deviled Avocado (their play on the Deviled Egg). First it looked so cool and the avocado was the base and instead of the creamy egg it was a chick pea cream with some salt and seasoning. It was topped with onion straws. OMG it was really good. I really loved it and the texture was similar to deviled egg. For my main dish, I got a fresh kale salad with ranch dressing. It also had chick peas croutons. The ranch was light and very good. The kale was crisp and the chickpea croutons were unique and crispy. It was large enough for two. I also ordered a side of fresh cut fries which were cut thin. It was crispy and lightly salted. I can't skip in ordering fries especially if they look good. And looks matched the taste. The service was great and she kept checking on us. She knew every ingredient of all the dishes we asked about. It was amazing ! We will be back when we are back in Dallas.

The tallow fries that came with were warm, not hot, and just ok. I was expecting more. I would not order fries again. Others ordered the brussel sprouts, mashed tators, all were very good. And lastly a falafel burger. It was pretty tasty. All in all a great place. I think the execution for some of the menu items were off, so maybe warrants another visit.

We got in and took a seat at bar and we were helped out and had to ask for brunch menu. I did not get the pic of the brunch menu but it was very small. We almost wanted to leave because they were missing 3 very important items and likely many more. We went hoping they would still have the regular burger and the fried chicken sandwich that they used to have but nope they got rid of them both and they even changed the fried. They used to have amazing deviled eggs. It's just sad we drove all the way and not what we expected. So, I needed to change my last review not wanted to mislead others. We both agreed it wasn't terrible but won't be going back.

He was so attentive especially because we were the only ones on the patio! Yes...we were the only ones who decided to see the Christmas movie Die Hard lol! For food we opted for a pizza and their buffalo bites! I am being quite honest when I say that this is some of the best crafted pizza we have ever eaten! We tried the hot honey pizza the last time we came and tried the Barnyard this time around and O M G! It was so so great! The buffalo bites are also a hit for us, mainly because they serve a lot of bites and not just 5-6 like most places! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying their festive drinks! My boyfriend enjoyed a hot peppermint tea while I got to try their sugar cookie martini and their Espresso Manhattan! The Sugar cookie martini definitely took the cake! 10/10! I was worried for a bit because of how milky it is, but it was a pleasant surprise! Overall, the experience was astounding! We definitely want to come back for their Home Alone night!
