    My husband and I tried this tonight for the first time. It was busy, but not too loud. We had great service- very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We had a difficult time deciding what to try, so over ordered but enjoyed it all and brought lots of leftovers home!

    ------ Critics Review ------ Amazing! Go! Impeccably high-end trained staff and a real chef (Ali) who knows what's she is doing!! This place needs to be in the hot spots of Dallas - it's that good! So I walk I and a charming hostess who is well mannered greets me like I'm at The Mansion at Turtle Creek (Dallas). For an early 20's to be that refined and professional is unheard of. Now I'm at the table and another mid-20s is our waitress (Andrea). Impeccable service and highly trained. Immediately I know the owners of this place know what VIP customers expect. But wait!!! We are in the middle of nowhere - red neck fishermen land! We started at 5pm... and when we left at 7pm, the place was packed with people in line for tables. Impressive. Calamari: Herb seasoned and lightly battered - but the crust was crunchy, perfectly cooked, delicate meat and absolutely no rubber!! Delicate and incredible! The marinara is warm, perfectly seasoned balance of tomato and herbs. Hint of salt beautifully done. One of my favorites ever. Score: 10 out of 10 Shrimp Scampi: Obviously handmade pasta, perfectly seasoned and delicious sauce. Score: 9/10 Chicken Parmesan: Delicious. Great ratios of cheese to chicken. Ask for double sauce (not enough for the size of the dish). Chicken is pounded a bit too thin yielding a tad more dense protein - but still nice. (Could be 30% thicker which would increase the chicken flavor ratio.) Score: 8.5/10 Fettuccine Alfredo: Excellent. Well made with all the right ratios of what you expect. (Always ask for double sauce for a better dish.) Score: 9.5/10 Overall: 5/5 Go!!

    The Hubs and I got reservations for our anniversary. I definitely recommend getting reservations if it is on the weekend as all the tables were filled throughout the evening. We were seated right away and also greeted right away. We ordered drinks off the holiday menu, I got a cranberry spritz with limoncello. That was absolutely delicious and my husband loved his apple butter old-fashioned. The appetizers looked amazing but we didn't try this time so we would have room for dessert. I definitely want to go back and try the focaccia and the Arancini. We got Caesar salad salads, and for dinner we had the shrimp scampi with added artichokes and the sausage penne with peppers. We loved it! We shared the tiramisu for dessert with coffee and it was perfect! We are already planting our return trip. It is such a cute place with delicious food and great service!

    We were very pleased with the food here! I love you can substitute your pasta for gluten free. I will say the gluten free pasta isn't the best but very nice they have it.

    Cute spot for a little Italian date night! A nice gem off 380, for sure. Greeting and service (shout out to Oscar) was prompt, everyone was very attentive to their tables from what I observed, and the food was delicious! Plenty of seating when we arrived around dinner time on a Thursday night it did start to fill up) and they have an outdoor patio section if you want to sit outside. We tried the house made foccacia bread 5/5- bread is a must to start before an Italian dinner! I love a good flavorful carb, calamari-crispy, but the marinara sauce here is super thick imo.. I did I enjoy the second sauce a lot more, they accompany the calamari with marinara and a refreshing citrus herb flavored dip, that was tasty 4/5, lobster ravioli 3/5-again sauce was pretty thick and this time it was the pink sauce, pink sauce had great flavor, but I felt the lobster lacked in flavor (as a New England girl, my lobster standard is pretty high) so the dish was just meh to me..Chicken parm with upgraded pink sauce (thick)-chicken was moist!! a great portion size, pasta was well cooked 4/5, and tiramisu 5/5- authentic flavor-must try!! I would come back here again.

    The Mother's Day brunch was a delight. I ordered the Sausage, egg and cheese pizza Delicious! So large took home half. Dad ordered the Canoli French toast really hefty serving as well. He brought home 1/2 of his. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Picotta, it's her favorite an as usual it was great. Oh, did I mention $4 dollar mimosa's we had quite a few of those as well. When were here it feels like family. Be sure to check them out for yourself. The food was delicious, drinks ample and the service wonderful. Great open air seatings welcoming to all. I had the lobster ravioli win Vodka sauce. Not usually a fan of vodka sauce however this stuff is like nothing I have ever tasted. We have traveled the world eaten in some of the finest restaurants and man are we happy that they are just a few blocks from our home.

I ordered the fried shrimp and fries platter which is pretty basic, nothing elaborate and a bottled root beer. You could taste the old grease in the fries.

The restaurant looked clean, but I really hate when the floors are sticky, which they were. Please change the cleaning solution used. The service was fine, nothing exceptional. I asked if the restaurant was under new ownership. I was told no, but yes under new management with the same cooks. Well, I'm not sure about that, but I know I won't return.

The menu is extensive here so I'm curious what the other meals are like- there definitely seems to be a fusion of two cuisines happening, which I actually very much appreciate. The staff is very kind! I'm all about customer service. As far as the setting, the music was a little too loud for me but it's a very causal vibe here and also plenty of tables and space, and lots of tv's. It was disappointing the draft beer wasn't working also. I might give this another try.

We couldn't be happier with the service and the quality of the food we got yesterday at this food truck when they were in Kaleidoscope Park, Frisco. We saw a note on Instagram that they were coming, and when I called the number on Saturday a super nice woman named Danielle answered and couldn't have been friendlier. I could hear she was busy in the background, but she steered us right by suggesting we place our order ahead of time online for next day pickup. Very excellent advice. The next day the line was already huge when we got there - I walked up to the front and asked the woman working the table "is there a separate line for pre orders?" and she pointed to where I was standing, off to the side of the huge line, and said "right here." 5 minutes later we had the freshest, tastiest food we've had in a long time. The crawfish was a huge hit - and authentic. The corn and potatoes were cooked in the juice with the crawfish and had all that flavor. The boiled shrimp were huge, fresh, and delicious. And the fried catfish? Oh my GOD - the best flavored catfish in DFW! I don't know what spices they use, or who is doing the frying, but big round of applause to them! I only wish I'd been smart enough to order more - the two pieces were big, but I could have eaten 5 more. Especially after sharing small bites with the others in my group. Even the French fries were great. We hope to eat their food again. Please come to Glen Echo Brewing in Wylie!! Thanks Danielle and team for the hard work. I think the huge line of people waiting patiently in the sun tells you how much their food is loved. I can't believe more people on Yelp don't know how good they are.

On top of that, most of the crawfish were gritty, which tells me they were not cleaned properly. That completely ruined the experience. To make matters worse, the crawfish were also very small.

We were headed in that direction for an errand, so today was the day. We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday and the place was empty, except for two nice gals working the counter. I had already spotted the BLT on the menu and since it is nearly tomato season, the craving had stuck. With a name like "Ultimate BLT," how could we resist? Hubby added a cup of the tomato bisque, which turned out to be a pretty large portion. The sandwich comes with house-made chips. I kind of wish I had splurged on the carrot lemonade, which looked and sounded amazing, but I didn't. Next time. One of the gals let me sample the tarragon chicken salad. It was good but not quite tarragon-y enough for me. The BLT, however, was very, very good. It had a little spicy kick from something; maybe the aioli??...and the bacon was that perfect combo of thick, crispy, and chewy. The sandwich was big enough for the two of us to split, and I left happy. Bonus points for the soundtrack in this place. If you are a former 1980s punk rocker, you will appreciate the Joy Division and The Cure playing in the background. My soul did a little MOSH pit dance.
