    I gotta give it to Chef Sunny, I NEVER leave hungry when eating his food. Kawa continues the trend of Omakase in DFW. I would say Chef Sunny's sushi is a mix between traditional and modern. The toppings used does nicely compliment the fish without overpowering the flavor. Overall the sushi is good. I want to come back and try the special omakase meal where Chef Sunny mixes in other types of cuisines (more than just Japanese).

    We had an early dinner at 4pm on Saturday. Surprisingly, we had the entire place to ourselves till 5pm when other parties started showing up. We tried the omakase set and our chef was very nice. Sadly, the food was underwhelming and I had high expectations after all the reviews. The edamame was dry and hot tasting (cooked salmon) was a bit dry. All the sashimi was pretty good and prepared at the counter in front of us. I would recommend going for a la carte sashimi sushi and skipping the omakase set.

    Chefs choice sashimi.

    Outstanding. Love the space, it's upscale, aesthetically beautiful and calming. From service to food, I was unexpectedly blown away. I scheduled a massage next door, and picked Kawa for convenience, I'm so glad I did! The sashimi was so fresh, flavorful, and melty. The hand rolls! I'll dream of them. Crab, unagi katsu, scallop with crispy quinoa and yuzu, inari toro caviar. It's not possible to pick a favorite, just order every one of them.

    Okay, I know it's not technically in Collin County--but it's just a short drive away, and so worth it!! My husband and I came here for our anniversary, and this place is hands-down the BEST sushi and handroll experience I've ever had--and I've had a lot domestically and internationally. I'll be more shocked if this place doesn't get recognized by Michelin by the end of the year. Chef Sonny and his wife run the restaurant together. You're not just at another table, you're part of the experience. But the food... OH MY GOODNESS!!! The fish is flown in from Japan on a 2-day turnaround and aged to absolute perfection. Every bite, from sushi to handroll, even to dessert, has so many layers from texture and taste, it's quite unforgettable. Clearly, well thought out and refined. Two bites I'm still dreaming about: 1. The uni crispy seaweed roll - briny, crunchy, and insanely good 2. The inari truffle toro caviar - rich, buttery, luxurious... just wow. I highly recommend you try them in this order. The crispy crunch from the first with the cloud like from the second is a combination that still has my mouth watering. This is more than a sushi / handroll bar--it's a full-on experience, and I'd honestly be shocked if they don't earn a Michelin star within the year. PS. Parking was a breeze, located right outside their building. It is a small lot but there's more space just a short walk away.

    Made a reservation online and had been to their Southlake location before, where the service was…read morealready great, but this visit was even better. Henry and Bernie were seriously the best. Henry checked on us often, was super patient, and just genuinely kind. Bernie kept our water full and was always nearby making sure we were good without hovering. They made the whole night feel easy and fun. The food was just as good. We started with the mushroom fondue, creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The bread was perfect, crispy and thin but still sturdy enough to scoop everything up without falling apart. We also split one of the toast boards and loved it. Great mix of flavors and just a really fun thing to share. They're also known for some really good favorites like the burrata toast, steak frites, truffle fries, and their charcuterie boards. Their brunch gets a lot of hype too, especially the French toast and eggs Benedict. And their seasonal cocktails are always a hit, really creative and well balanced. Bathrooms were clean, always a plus. Only tiny note, I wish there were more purse or coat hooks, every place needs those. Overall, we had such a great time. The service really stood out and the food totally delivered. Definitely one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit.

    I like their Bruschetta Board! You get to pick 4 from 10+ spreads--my favorites are the ricotta…read morewith dates & pistachio, smoked salmon with pesto, prosciutto with fig & mascarpone, and fresh mozzarella. The board is perfect for sharing with friends or a group of friends over a glass of wine, whether indoors or on the patio. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They have some great happy hour deals: $6 wine glasses and pitchers of beer every day until 5pm, plus bruschetta boards and wine bottles for $25 after 8pm on Mondays & Tuesdays.

    I visited Waters Edge with my family this past weekend before we went to a movie at the Drafthouse…read more(just across the parking lot), and we had a good time! Waters Edge is a winery and a bistro - so you can come for drinks or a meal or both. We were told that they make all of the wines on their menu, of which there are dozens of wines on their menu. I've been to a few urban wineries before, and it's an interesting concept. Waters Edge buys grape must (crushed grapes) from around the world and then craft and bottle wines made from that must at their locations (this Dallas location is one of 15 across the country). Wanting to try a few of their wines, the four of us shared two flights of five wines each. We tried the Tour of Armenia and Alec's Flight (a rotating selection of wines by their winemaker). Did I like every wine? No. But I thought most of them were pretty good. Personally, I'm not sure they need to make this many wines; I'll always prefer a business that does ten things well than fifty things fine (the Cheesecake Factory rule). But most of the wines were pretty nice (of the 10 I tried, I wouldn't drink 3 or 4 but wouldn't mind drinking the rest again). I appreciated that many of their wines are Armenian style, because I haven't had much opportunity to try Armenian wines. We also ordered a few snacks - they have a full food menu. We shared their Deviled Egg of the Month (2 eggs - 4 halves) and their Cheese is Life Board (two cheeses, hot honey, giardiniera, and crispy flatbread), which were both good snacks. They've been open just under a year, but the place doesn't feel quite lived in yet. The dining room has a large room divider in it, set up like a bookshelf. It has books and card/trivia games about wine and more. But many of these items were still wrapped in plastic, making it feel a little impersonal. The service was good, and it's a comfortable place to spend a couple of hours! The food we had was pretty good. The wines in my opinion are just okay - probably not the spot to take a wine snob on a date. But they have a large variety of wines, so you're likely to find one or many that you like. Not a bad place to spend some time if you're in the neighborhood!

    Love coming here. Great for some relax time with wine and noshes…read more Quincy is very informative and helpful. The food is great, had the eggs and arancini so far. Enjoying the quality wine. Great ambiance, they have comfy couches and some board games. Good for groups or celebratory events

    Made reservations for a special celebration Dinner with my Bestie from out of town, for Tuesday,…read moreMarch 24th. It was a huge disaster! We had scheduled an early dinner (6:00) and there were only 7 tables throughout the night enjoying dinner service. Well, we won't be going back till the addition to the restaurant is completed, due to the noise factor!!!!!!! There was sawing noise which was so loud we joked it made us feel like we were at the dentist office having a negative experience. Along with nail guns, not what you wish to have when you're trying to have a an enjoyable dinner experience! Upon being sat we asked Patrick, our server, if they were going to continue working and he was very put off by our question. He told they were about to wrap it up for the evening. Nope, still going strong at 7:00!!? We should have left...but we had committed to the evening by ordering a bottle of wine, meatballs (deliciousness!), and salad that came overdressed with dressing (yuck!). My friend ordered the Margarita pizza, which they left the fresh basil off, which is a key ingredient. Me, the sea-bass, which was overcooked & very fishy. My hubby the pork & beef pasta with ricotta, which was overcooked and mushy. Needless to say less than stellar. And Patrick was not very friendly or accommodating. Worst night of my Life, I was so embarrassed! When dining, you usually have background music, not a building under construction??!!! $200 dinner, ruined, horrible!!!!

    My bestie recommended this restaurant, so we decided to check it out with a party of three around 7…read morep.m. We did make a reservation, which turned out to be a great idea because it was fairly busy when we arrived and most of the tables were already full. Thanks to the reservation, we were seated right away and immediately greeted by our server, who was honestly amazing from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We kicked things off with drinks. I started with an espresso martini, and it was really, really good--smooth, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. For my second drink, I tried the smoked Old Fashioned from their holiday menu. It was good, but I'll be honest, it was extremely strong. Like, really strong. In general, their drinks definitely pack a punch, so that's something to keep in mind when ordering. For my entrée, I ordered the Mediterranean smoked chicken salad, and wow. It was hands down one of the best salads I've ever had in my life. Everything was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and satisfying, and it didn't feel like a "boring" salad at all. It was so good that I already know I'll be coming back specifically for that dish, though I'm also curious to try more of the menu next time. Overall, this place absolutely lived up to the recommendation. Great service, strong drinks, and standout food. I'll definitely be back.

    Thirsty Lion delivers a clean, spacious gastropub atmosphere that makes it a great spot to relax,…read moregrab a drink, and enjoy a solid meal. The layout feels open and comfortable, and the overall vibe is upbeat without being overwhelming. That said, service on arrival could use some attention. There was a noticeable gap at the host stand with several guests waiting and no staff in sight, which set a slightly off first impression. Once seated, though, the experience improved. Ally at the bar stood out right away. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming, she helped turn the visit around and made the experience feel more personal. She did come back to check in later, which was appreciated and helped round out the service. On the food and drink side, they carry Manhattan Project Beer Company's Half-Life, which is a big win and pairs exceptionally well with the French dip. The sandwich itself is flavorful and satisfying. The fries were a bit on the softer side, so if you prefer them crispy, I'd definitely recommend asking for them extra crispy when ordering. Overall, Thirsty Lion has a lot going for it. Great atmosphere, solid menu, and standout staff like Ally. With a little more consistency at the front of house, this place easily moves from good to great.
