Easily a top 5 restaurant in DFW. Amazing service from start to finish, great ambiance on a Sunday night, and the food deserved a Michelin star. The whole duck along with the leek appetizer were outstanding. Will be dining here again. read more

The highest level of fine dining has truly arrived in Dallas. This restaurant delivers everything you could want in a Michelin-worthy French dining experience--and then some. My husband and I visited for Father's Day, also celebrating our second daughter who is about to be born. We've been wanting to try Mamani for a while, and i'm so glad we finally did. It exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. We were greeted warmly and made to feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening, with attentive, personalized service that never felt overbearing. The space itself is elegant, sophisticated, and upscale. It was a bit louder than expected, but our tucked-away corner made it feel more intimate and comfortable. The food was outstanding. Each course was paced perfectly, allowing the entire experience to unfold without feeling rushed--we genuinely lost track of time, and three hours felt like minutes. The prawns were delightful, and the duck was the standout of the evening--truly the best my husband and I have ever had. The leeks were the only dish that felt just okay in comparison to everything else. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Compliments to the chefs and staff. We will absolutely be back. read more

We had a great experience at Mamani. The vibe is definitely more upscale..from the atmosphere to the service and the overall crowd. We arrived a bit early, so they seated us at the bar where we ordered our drinks. As soon as they were ready, the hostess personally let us know our table was set and even carried our drinks over for us. We were warmly welcomed by many on our walk to the table which set a really nice tone for the evening. Our waitress was attentive, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easier since the descriptions alone don't quite do the dishes justice. The food was good overall...though maybe not quite as exceptional as we were hoping given the hype. That said, there were definitely standouts. Our favorites were the blue crystal prawns, the French butter served with the bread, the potato gnocchi, and the mashed potatoes(the best mashed potatoes I've ever had) that came with the cordon bleu. Overall, a polished dining experience with excellent service and a few truly memorable dishes. read more

Yikes! Definitely not a one star Michelin restaurant. For that to be the case, food and service have to be "very good." June 29th we dined here for a birthday celebration. We were seated by the hostess. She left the table. We were left waiting for a menu. So either the hostess or the waitress was supposed to hand us the menu. The hostess came back after some time and apologized that she forgot to hand us our menus. Our waitress didn't seem to have much personality. Not friendly, not terribly informative and generally no nonsense. BORING. Bread Service was just "ok." The fancy butter was much better than the bread that was made across the street at bread club. I can't remember a single dish being outstanding. We ordered the crudo, beet salad, croquette, crystal shrimp, pork dish, orchiette pasta dish - all "meh." The one thing that I do remember is ordering the branzino and finding several fish bones present. Any single one of these miscues should be enough to tell you that this is not a Michelin one-star worthy restaurant. The only positive things I recall about the experience was that the cocktail was very good and that the manager was amusing with his anecdotes about being a personal chef for Novak Djokovic. But the thing that makes me most upset is paying good money with the expectation that this is going to be a fantastic meal, only to leave extremely disappointed and angry. I don't think anyone in my dinner party felt that this was a memorable experience from a Michelin star restaurant, and all three of us have dined previously at several Michelin star restaurants. There is a lot of room for improvement. We shall wait to see whether the Michelin guide will uphold this rating after a year goes by. read more

Mamani is an elegant restaurant with exquisite and memorable food. There's 3 seating sections: a front-of-the-house with a view of the kitchen action, the dining room and the garden room. I've sat in the front-of-the-house and the dining room. The front offers a nice show of the busy and efficient kitchen however is a little noisy and waitstaff are bustling about. I prefer the dining room. I absolutely loved everything that I ate. The scallop and caviar is visually a piece of art and it is genius to pair scallops with grapefruit. I also tried the black cod prepared with miso and seaweed beurre blanc. The cod was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and velvety. I'm still thinking about it! You cannot go wrong with the Iberico Pork Pluma. The exterior of the pork was seared to perfection and the flavor was savory and tender. Sadly, I'm knocking off a star because of the service. Our server was unfriendly and uninterested and to me this was unacceptable in a Michelin star restaurant. read more

This was our second visit and it was somewhat of a letdown compared to our first visit. While everything was good, nothing was quite as outstanding as I remember some of the dishes from our first visit. Private room was beautiful as always, great service. Bread and the paris brest were my favorites read more

Thank you to all the amazing people at Mamani for an outstanding birthday experience! Thank you to the entire team who made this feel so special. From the hand written note, the way each course was perfectly brought out to set the stage for the next bite, to the way we didn't even have to choose a dessert (because you sent them all to our table!)...it was all so absolutely incredible. As we said last night..."11/10!" Must try food items: EVERYTHING! Drinks: Fig Fashioned / Dirty Martini read more

Make a reservation online! They also have free valet. Two drinks, three appetizers and one entree ran us about 300$. My favorite thing were the oysters and the croquettes. The duck was great. It was a lot of food so we could've skipped on an appetizer, but I felt like the appetizers were the best part. The duck also comes with a kebab skewer of duck meat. I felt like the side sauces and kebabs didnt go that well with the duck, but overall the individual flavors of everything were good. read more

We had a LOVELY dinner at Mamani. Really, we tried a ton of food, and everything was wonderful, truly. While we tried many dishes, the two standout dishes for me were the black miso cod and the green garlic gnocchi. The black miso cod had a slightly sweet sauce, and the green garlic gnocchi was so pillowy. And I'll add that I really enjoyed the chocolate mousse for dessert--it had some caramel and crunchies, tasting akin to a Butterfinger candy bar flavor. Service was flawless. Joseph provided excellent service, and our main server was very sweet but perhaps a little green (she said she didn't like wine until she worked at Mamani?!). Our dinner was fantastic, both food and service, justifying the very $$$ prices. The restaurant is also beautiful as well without being snobby. read more

A wonderful restaurant truly deserving of its Michelin star. The ambiance is great and so is the service. Parking was also pretty easy with plenty free street parking nearby. The smoked beets were so good, both pastas we ordered were perfect, the mashed potatoes were delicious, and the gelato was a great dessert to share between 3 people. One thing to note is that the mashed potatoes weren't on the menu, so make sure to ask for them! A must-visit in Dallas! read more

Mamani is a Michelin Star French restaurant located in Dallas's The Quad (formerly Quadrange). While this restaurant has only been open for about a year, the service, technique, and quality of the food removed all doubt in my mind. Mamani is the best fine dining restaurant in Dallas. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Mamani's is a beautiful restaurant. It's inviting and has a very cool, modern European vibe. It's upscale, but not too pretentious. The patrons here are dressed to impress, and this is a great people watching spot. The seating was comfortable, the noise level was perfect for conversation, and the restaurant's team personalized our table with a thoughtful note wishing us Happy Birthday. 1 Star. Service - The service is incredible. Our server was friendly, confident, and tuned in to ensure we were having a great experience. Each dish was thoroughly described during presentation, we received new place settings between courses, and Chef Christophe De Lellis even prepared our Veal tableside. While our water cups were small, they were always full. Mamani's service has set the bar for Michelin Star restaurants. 1 Star. Food - Let me start by stating the only Michelin Star restaurants I've visited have been a tasting menu or omakase style. At Mamani, I had to make my own choices, but everything was amazing. I'll start with Bread Service. Each bread had its own texture and flavor, but the I'll be honest, they served as a delivery vehicle for the soft, golden French butter. Next, the Croquettes were crispy fried bites with a soft and creamy center. It was subtle, but the combination of tastes and textures placed me in food paradise. For my main, my table shared the Veal. The chef will prepare it tableside. The Veal was amazingly tender and perfectly fried. Each bite is an adventure in flavor and texture (notice a theme here?). If you visit Mamani, order the Veal. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Simply put, Mamani is the best restaurant I've been to in years. And out of the few Michelin Star restaurants I've been to, it's the best. I've already started saving for my next visit. 1 Star. read more

This place comes at a high price tag but every course, detail and service was splendid. The food was out of this world and surprised us with elegance and decadence. For starters we had the bread basket and croquets. It was a nice variety and served with butter. The plating and presentation were strong and the taste was even better. The little croquets were fried perfectly and just the right culmination of ham and cheese. We had a pasta (agnolotti) dish for the mid course. It had sausage, sun dried tomatoes and just a splash of what I believe to be lemon. It was delightful. We had the veal cordon blue. It was served table side and very tasty. It was good but would likely try something else next time. The desserts were superb. We had the vanilla gelato served with a chocolate sauce and candied pecans. The Paris-Brest was like a croissant dough type pastry flaky, airy and smooth. It had a very soft peanut tasting cream through out. read more

Worthy of its Michelin Star. On this visit, magnificent in taste and presentation were their "Scallop & Caviar", "Cavatelli", "Veal Cordon Bleu", and, "Parfait". Loving enormously that on most nights, instead of a prix fixe tasting menu, Mamani offers à la carte dining. The decor and atmosphere of Mamani caters very nicely for the present contemporary Dallasites restaurant going crowd. Fitting right in with jeans or dressed to the nines. Impeccable more casual service. Music reaching at its loud point as the night reaches 8pm. And, guests pouring praises, like myself, of this being our favorite fine dining restaurant in Dallas right now! CHEERS! read more

Pro tip: Either reserve weeks in advance, or plan on flexibitand hope for a cancellation the day of or day before you're looking to go. Wow. Clap. Clap. Clap. An amazing experience all around! From the hostess, to the dining manager, the sommeliers, to the servers and the kitchen staff...just wow. It is truly an honor to see the HOME that Chef Christophe De Lellis has created that has become the newest Texas Michelin restaurant. As Tim, one of the Somms, put it -- you can tell that this is a space of "healing", unlike the many toxic industry environments we hear of. Truly, as a guest, we ourselves felt healed to dine with y'all. Chef Christophe, Eli, Andre, and Tim -- thank you for an exceptional dining experience. Highlights of the experience (other than learning we dined across from a professional hall of famer) include the oysters, leeks, and the table-side served veal cordon bleu. We were surprised to also enjoy a creamy and light homemade vanilla ice cream with perfectly sweetened Texas pecans. We can't wait to go back. A must! read more

First time at this beautiful space and it was an amazing experience. Our server Justin took care of us and everything was so tasty, so perfect. Starting with the oysters and scallop & caviar won me over as a seafood lover. The pasta with their house made bread was the perfect pairing and ending with their whole duck was the cherry on top. The ambiance and vibe in the restaurant was everything I could ask for to enjoy all the food, Michelin star well deserved, I will definitely be back! read more

My friend and I came here after she recommended this spot due to the Michelin star; however; be prepared for it to come with a side of bark! Upon arrival, valet was seamless and entering the restaurant you're warmly greeted by the hostess. We were sat in the terrace area (enclosed, had a wonderful temperature even with the windy cold going on outside). Ordered my drink (I got the Hay Jude, and later, a glass of wine) things were going smoothly... However, a guest with a DOG arrived (seated next to us) and it was shrieking terribly and whiny throughout the entire dining experience. When we thought it had calmed down, "bark, bark"! We ordered the amberjack crudo, blue crystal pawns, and their homemade bread to start. The crudo and bread were ok (have had better crudo) and I did enjoy the prawns. For the main, I ordered the grilled whole branzino and the pil pil sauce was the highlight of the dish! We also had the paris-brest and vanilla gelato for dessert - both were enjoyable. Overall, I won't return and yes, partly due to the dog, amongst other things (having to wait to eat due to not having a fork, small plates). Paying $200 per person, you expect a top tier dining experience (especially with the Michelin star) but today just wasn't that day. read more

I enjoyed the overall experience, food, and service, but admittedly felt a bit underwhelmed for my first time dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Ambiance & Atmosphere: Romantic and moody, well-suited for a date night or special occasion. Service: Truly outstanding. Our waiter was friendly, provided honest recommendations, and paced our courses perfectly, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Food highlights: - Bread We Bake: A trio of focaccia, sourdough, and a seeded/grain bread served with house-made butter--a solid and comforting start to the meal. - Blue Crystal Prawns: My favorite dish of the night. Served with a pesto sauce, this was excellent and something I'd highly recommend. - Artichoke: We ordered this out of curiosity, but it ended up being the one dish I wish we had skipped in favor of something else. - Agnolotti & Cavatelli: Both pastas were very tasty, though they didn't quite deliver the "wow" factor I was hoping for. - Chocolate Mousse: A great way to end the meal. I especially enjoyed the touch of saltiness to balance the chocolate. Overall I enjoyed our time and would still recommend the restaurant. Seeing nearby tables order standout dishes like the duck or veal cordon bleu made me think those may have elevated the experience further. read more

Elite service and style at Mamani. Incredible service and panache. Loved the warm welcome and our lovely server, Van was top tier. She was so attentive and very sweet and playful. Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The atmosphere is charming and inviting, making it perfect for a special night out or a relaxed dinner with friends. Service was excellent and added to the overall experience. Mamani is a true gem in Dallas for anyone who loves elevated French cuisine. Five stars all the way! Delicious food, Mamani delivers authentic French cuisine with heart and consistency. read more

It really hurt giving this place 3 stars because I'd been looking forward to it since it opened. The design of this space is what intrigued me the most. Then it received the Michelin star, so I was excited for top notch service. I'm assuming I went on an off-night, because the service was so off. So off my girls and I pretty much had an eye competition of who could grab the attention of the sever fastest. What made it worst? I recommended the restaurant for a girls night .... The week of my friend's birthday Service? Our server was nice, just non-existent. I mean truly. We probably looked for her about 3, maybe 5 times during our dining experience. The restaurant? Absolutely beautiful. I loved how minimal and stunning the restaurant was, this is probably the only reason I'd come back, well that chocolate mousse too The food? It was cool. Didn't blow us away at all, but I'll say the service might have affected this. We started off with cocktails, and my girls loved their dirty martinis. I tried the Negroni Spagliato and another I can't recall the name, loved them both! Unfortunately we tried to order the bread, there were issues in the kitchen and the bread couldn't be served. I was actually shocked they didn't have a replacement ready to go for the bread, or offer something different. This threw us off. Give us fries or something We had the Croquettes, the Blue Crystal Prawns, and the Hamachi Crudo! Get the prawns and the crudo. The pesto sauce that comes with the prawns, so damn good. I soaked the prawn in it. The crudo, licked the plate. Literally we were starving, I tore it up. For the main items, we got the Potato Gnocchi, the Truffle Tagliatelle, New Zealand Lamb Chops, and Wanderer Australian Filet Mignon. I'd say the best item was maybe the lamb chop, and honestly this was a force for us. None of these really stood out to us. The gnocchi was taken over by the caramelized onions. Made me sad. We felt like the filet was missing seasoning, and truly needed the sauce it came with. Thankfully, we ended with one of our favorite items, the Chocolate Mousse. This was just so good, and I'm so glad we had a happy ending, then the check came out we each spent 200 and really only enjoyed the starters, cocktails, and dessert. We actually went somewhere else after. We didn't get the same experience as everyone else did and that's okay. Bravo to a beautiful restaurant, and hopefully a better experience the next time I go. I understand that restaurants have off-nights, and that's what I'll go with! read more

Fantastic food and phenomenal service -- a true Michelin star experience at Mamani! The interior of Mamani is beautiful! Very trendy, moody, and romantic. Perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion! As vegetarians, our options were limited, but we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. The bread service can't be missed -- the imported French butter was exquisite. The Leeks, Beets, and Artichoke starters were all incredible and must orders! For our mains, we shared the Agnolotti and the chef prepared us gnocchi in a pomodoro sauce. Both pastas were incredibly fresh and we especially loved the acidity of the pomodoro sauce. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse and Paris Brest. The Paris Brest was by far the better dessert! The light, crunchy pastry top with the creamy praline filling was delectable. Can't wait to dine again at Mamani! read more

Good experience at this French - Italian fusion fine dining restaurant. Food wise, my highlights were the crudo (this is on my must-order list) and the duck. The overall atmosphere was so different than the typical trendy Dallas restaurant. Soft pinks and curved edges everywhere you look. It felt different in a good way, which I enjoyed. Many parts of our experience had our group feeling disappointed. The duck dish, which was stated to share between 2-3 people, could have easily fed 6. It was clear from our three (!) bags of takeaway food we had extremely over-ordered; even though we specifically asked our server several times during ordering if we were ordering too little or too much. The much-discussed bread basket was unimpressive and again left us confused about the hype; the butter was the real star of that show. My agnolotti was undercooked with still-hard pasta, although the filling and sauce was outstanding. The front of house had plenty of staff members but it feels like they are still working out the kinks of a new operation. Our group was conflicted about the fact that nothing arrive to our table hot - perhaps warm or room temp is intended by the chef? If you like wine, you will love this place. The wine list is unreal. There were bottles starting at around $65 up into the thousands. The cocktails we tried were well-balanced. Overall a perfectly fine place to have a nice meal, you will enjoy it! But among all the other places to dine in our area, I think there are many other restaurants doing food, drinks, and service much better. read more

A great restaurant that does a lot of things well - just not well enough to earn a Michelin star in under 50 days - in my opinion! Here's what we got: - Bread We Bake($15): we really enjoyed the quinoa and focaccia bread. This was good, but something that other restaurants provide for free anyway. - Murder point oysters($25): loved the way these were dressed. Big fan. - Amberjack Crudo($29): overpriced and slightly chewy. Would not recommend. - Agnolotti($32): Absolutely delightful! Very simply dish that was executed spectacularly. The saying less is more truly shines here. Didn't even need the sage. Only gripe was that the serving size was waaaayy too small. - Veal "Cordon Bleu"($148): good but nothing spectacular. Felt the Mornay sauce was slightly bitter. Mashed potatoes were solid. We wouldn't get this again and would instead recommend trying the duck if it's available. Dessert: Paris-Brest($21): Absolutely delicious. The restaurant was kind enough to serve this with a gelato(on the house). Both paired very well together. Service was good - but not memorable. I wish the restaurant the best and hope for them to get their sea legs soon and grow into their Michelin star. read more

I believe the worst thing that happened to this place was being awarded a Michelin star just 57 days after opening. At that point the bar has been set high. Attention to detail expected (but perhaps not officially required?) was not there across the board... including, I just noticed, that their Yelp profile is still "unclaimed". Is no one monitoring and/or caring about what people think? When we "jokingly" asked the waiter why he didn't put the napkins in our laps, his response was that the owners wanted to create a more laid-back casual vibe. For that I might go to Chili's--I never go to Chili's. ;) I did think beforehand it was going to be special as I received a text asking the name of the person celebrating their birthday. I figured that meant something personal and special might happen. See the card--the "birthday celebrant's" name was not "Mamani". Makes me wonder why they even asked. And not that a full, free dessert was expected, but even nice, non-Michelin places give mignardises (I admit I had to google that one!) at the end of a meal as a final "thank you" for dining with them. Did I mention there was also no amuse-bouche (that one I didn't have to google!)? The food was all good, although the "prepared table-side" veal cordon bleu lacked the presentation one might expect. It surely would have been plated better in the kitchen without the table-side gimmick that added nothing to the entree. The "greens salad" meant to be shared, yet stuffed all into one bowl without plates, was difficult to eat. When we asked for plates we were told it was "meant to be picked at while eating as sort of an amuse-bouche" and were never brought plates. Don't call a salad that accompanies a meal "like an amuse-bouche"--it's not. The "Bread We Bake" was fine if not a bit pricy, but the "Rodolphe Le Meunier" butter made it worth it! Artichoke appetizer was tasty and easy to eat. I heard the woman at the table next to ours telling the waiter that the place was "lacking that oomph" expected at Michelin restaurants and I believe they left after drinks and appetizers before ordering their entrees that I had previously heard them discussing. I see a few more one-star reviews agree with us. Atmosphere was pleasing. For "just another nice Dallas restaurant", I'll give it 4 stars. I was expecting 5+++ Without major changes, I cannot fathom that this star will be renewed next year. read more

After dinner, we wandered into Mamani for a drink, and honestly this entire Quad development is a masterclass in keeping people from going home. One spot flows into another, it's a neighborhood for wandering. Hailey was fantastic, and the vibe in the bar area was relaxed, perfect to cap off the evening. Some districts feel manufactured. This one feels natural. Dallas absolutely cooked with this area. read more

Five stars across the board. We chose Mamani, Dallas's newest Michelin-starred restaurant, for our New Year's Eve dinner and it could not have been a better decision. The experience is built around a five-course prix fixe chef's tasting menu, and every single course delivered. The evening started with small bites that set the tone immediately--an incredible scallop with uni and a black truffle arancini that was truly unforgettable. Next came a lobster salad with celery and a black truffle vinaigrette, which I absolutely loved. Side note: it's hard to go wrong when black truffle keeps showing up. Then came the bread course, which somehow managed to be the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly flaky, paired with butter that only made it better--no notes. It was served alongside a chestnut soup, something I'd never had before but will absolutely be thinking about (and hoping to have again). For the mains, we ordered different dishes so we could try more. My wife had the turbot and I went with the venison. Both were outstanding. We actually traded plates halfway through, then traded back because we wanted more of our own--always a good sign. Dessert wrapped things up with a chocolate tart and vanilla gelato. The portion was generous, and even though we were full, there was no chance anything was getting left behind. It was that good. The vibe was warm and refined, and they really leaned into the New Year's Eve celebration with festive decorations throughout the space, which helped make the night feel even more special and kicked off the new year on a very positive note. The service was exactly what you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant--polished, attentive, and never overbearing. We can't wait to go back and explore their regular menu. read more

Had such a nice experience at Mamani. This was my first time dining at a Michelin restaurant so my expectations were pretty high and I felt like they lived up to them. We were sat on the covered patio, which although it was freezing outside, felt really nice. Our server was very kind and offered to go over the menu with us. We decided on the bread we bake, blue crystal prawns, amberjack crudo, veal cordon bleu, and the chocolate mousse. We were very happy with all of our choices. The bread and butter was honestly incredible and the veal cordon bleu is served tableside by the head chef which is such a cool experience. The chef had even served another table after he served ours and checked in to see how we enjoyed everything. I can definitely see why Mamani earned their star and I would be happy to dine with them again. read more

Ambiance and service here are on point but the food overall did not live up to the expectations. We checked out this place before it earned it's Michelin Star and were surprised how quickly it earned one. The one hitters and small bites are definitely the winners and should be all eaten. The main entrees were average, which was a disappointment. The larger plates to share did look good so may be worth a shot to try those over the mains as those will not impress. Nothing really sets them apart. The world famous mash is available when asked, but not on the menu. Overall, we're glad we tried it before the hype but now don't understand the hype. The price is probably not worth it. read more

Came to Mamani as a group of 4 and we definitely over ordered as we all walked away stuffed. After tax and tip, we ended up paying around $130pp which I felt like was a very reasonable price. Very good bang for your buck at Mamani since you get great service on top of high quality food. For the food, we started off with the bread basket, which was solid, especially the hand-churned butter and focaccia. For our "appetizers", we ordered three pastas to split family style. The kabocha and butternut squash agnolotti with brown butter sage was the unanimous favorite. The pork sausage and broccoli rabe cavatelli was second. And the ragu tagliatelle, while good, came in third simply on the basis that it wasn't as "unique" as the other two. For our entrees, we all shared the ribeye and Mamani duck. The ribeye was (as expected) tender and delicious. The duck was more unique and prepared two ways--thinly sliced and as a kebab. The kebab was good but the sliced duck was definitely more of the standout. Similar to the ribeye, the sliced duck was tender and had no hint of gaminess (which is often why I steer clear of duck). Overall, the dining experience at Mamani was superb. I appreciated the constant rotation of new plates and silverware between courses. The ambiance was beautiful. The waiter really knew his stuff and really added to our experience in a positive way. (I wish I remembered his name so I could properly give him kudos... aside from a great attitude, his defining quality was that he was tall... hopefully that gives management enough to work off of to recognize him for a job well done!) P.S. Apologies for the poor quality of photos but just know that in person, everything was plated beautifully! read more

Service was great. Our server, Serena, was very attentive and cordial. The food was good, and we really enjoyed the croquettes and Tonnarelli. I will say I'm unsure if the cordon bleu is worth its price. One thing to note is that they really don't have a dress code, or if they do, they don't enforce it. There were people dining in gym clothes or Birkenstocks... read more

It was really good overall, but definitely on the pricey side. What I liked: Ambience was lovely, service was great Agnolotti pasta was delish (but cold) Amish chicken was so tender The scallops with caviar was a fantastic bite, great flavors The croquettes were delish What I didn't: $15 for cold bread (would have been good toasty) The vodka frizette cocktail (had a weird taste to it) The tagliatelle was super salty So was the steak with the hen of the woods mushroom (hubs loved it though) read more

Tried Mamani tonight and had a wonderful experience. This is definitely excellent quality fine dining and a value add for the Dallas food scene. The veal carpaccio was light and had wonderful flavor, the best carpaccio I've ever had in the veal category. The Cappelletti was so good that I stooped to the level of licking the sauce off the spoon after finishing off the pasta. This is definitely a restaurant to share each plate with friends because the diversity of complex but clean flavors makes the experience. The staff was extremely thoughtful, attentive, and knowledgeable. We sat on the patio which was lovely. I highly recommend this for a nice dinner out in Dallas read more

We recently dined here, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From start to finish, the experience felt thoughtful, refined, and truly special. Parking was surprisingly easy with a nearby garage and validated parking -- always a nice bonus when you're dressing up for a special night out. The food was outstanding. The hamachi crudo was bright, delicate, and beautifully balanced. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly -- tender, flavorful, and elevated with nuanced sauces that didn't overpower the dish. The black cod was another highlight, silky and rich with impeccable execution. Every plate showcased incredible attention to detail, stunning presentation, and the use of truly exceptional ingredients. Service matched the quality of the food -- polished yet warm -- and the overall atmosphere felt elegant without being stuffy. This is the kind of place you come to celebrate something meaningful. We would absolutely recommend it for anniversaries or other special occasions. A truly memorable dining experience. read more

Mamani was definitely wonderful! Service was great and the ambiance was nice. Food was very good with very unique flavors. Knocked a star off because the food came out not totally hot / lukewarm bordering on cold- not sure if this was a result of the restaurant being so cold (it was freezing!). Other than that we had a good experience and would go back. read more

We decided to go here for my birthday, and I'm so glad we did as it was absolutely lovely. It's located in the quad, which thankfully has valet because it's definitely sort of a destination situation if you can't find close street parking. We had a reservation, so we were quickly seated in the main dining area, which is a stunning pink, red and aesthetic stunning mix of patterns and fabrics. It's swanky while also feeling a little Parisian chic. They add a 'Happy Birthday Nicole' to a card on a table which I thought was such a thought touch. The cocktails were fabulous. Everything on the menu sounded wonderful, although I will say skip the table side bread. It's nothing special, and nothing table side about it. I was most impressed with the service. Truly, it was refreshing, and everyone was so attentive to keeping your space clean and glasses filled. We will most definitely be back! read more

Mamani - Stunning menu! I also loved this cocktail. - French Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We were seated in an enclosed outdoor area which was warmer and much more humid than inside. The ambiance was nice, not stuffy and relatively comfortable except for the humidity/temp. We started with the croquettes which were delicious. The bread service- something reportedly we couldn't miss, was completely forgettable despite the charge and the reviews we had read. For entrees- the pork and the black cod were highlights. The wagyu was tough and the rabbit ragyu pasta dish was incredibly salty. Service was good and attentive without hovering. Overall surprisingly not the experience I had expected for a Michelin star restaurant- particularly compared to other restaurants we have dined before with same recognition. Glad we tried it to see what the hype was about but I would not return. Hope this was just an off night for them. read more

Mamani - Hamachi Crudo - French Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Went to Mamani for my birthday and really enjoyed the experience. Service from Justin was excellent and he added some thoughtful touches throughout the evening. We were seated right in front of the kitchen, which made it fun to watch the chefs working during the meal. We started with the Blue Crystal Prawns and Hamachi Crudo. The prawns ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. For mains we had the Tonnarelli, Rosewood Wagyu Coulotte, and Black Cod. The tonnarelli pasta was fantastic, especially after just coming back from Milan. The wagyu coulotte was cooked perfectly and was another highlight. It came with chicken jus, which was an interesting touch that worked really well. Dessert was great. The chocolate mousse was unreal, and the gelato with walnuts and chocolate was also excellent. Justin also brought out a birthday toast and noticed that I do not drink, so he brought a zero alcohol option instead. They also brought gelato out with the mousse for my birthday, which was a thoughtful surprise. My only small critique is that I wish the bread was included rather than being a paid appetizer. Overall it was a great place to celebrate my birthday and I would definitely come back. read more

I absolutely LOVE this experience...it is more than a restaurant! The food (delish), the service (impeccable), the ambiance (stellar)! Congratulations on being one of the 1st Dallas restaurants with a Michelin Star! I cannot wait until our return. read more

We were very excited to visit Mamani and have some delicious French fare and we were not disappointed. The oysters tasted as if they just came out of the ocean and the duck was melt in your mouth tender and moist. The wine recommendation for our meals was spot on. The staff was attentive but not overly so. The room is clean and minimalist. Very comfortable. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that the prices were astronomical and for that reason we would not be able to return any time soon. read more
