The owner/instructor was so sweet and made sure we were safe (nail guns and champagne, hello?). I absolutely love my board and whole heartedly recommend them for your next socially-distanced girl's gathering!

We celebrated my young niece's birthday at Painting with a Twist in Dallas and let me just say...we…read morehad a blast! The kids were happy, the adults were impressed, and even those of us who weren't painting had fun just being part of the energy. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond. Dana, Tanishia, and our instructor Eva were warm, attentive, and full of great vibes. They created such a welcoming atmosphere that the whole event felt personal and joyful, even though there were other guests in the studio. We had our own table up front with plenty of space for cake, presents, and all the birthday extras. And the glow-in-the-dark private room? Major hit!!We sang Happy Birthday in there, and the staff even played the birthday song over the speakers...it felt like a mini concert moment for the kids. It was the kind of thoughtful touch that made the day feel extra special. I left completely inspired (particularly my inner child). I'm already plotting a return for a grown-up girls' night--but next time, we'll swap the birthday cake for cocktails and small bites. Pro Tips: 1. Check the online calendar to view upcoming paintings, pricing, and reserve your spot. 2. Parking out front and street parking in-back is limited, so consider valet next door. 3. The vibe is upbeat, fun, and easygoing: perfect for parties, dates, and hangouts. 4. Ask about the private room for special occasions if you have 8-15 people, the glow-in-the-dark setup is a total crowd-pleaser. Happy Painting :-)

Step 3: Listen for quick directions on where to begin then continue. It was so easy and fun because she moved around the room to help with the process in assisting only when needed to and helping with mixing colors. We will definitely be back!

She tried her best to understand my vision and gave great advice without taking over my painting. The vibes were top tier! The music was great and the people were very friendly.

I'm not sure how the pricing…read morestructure works, or if wine and cheese is *normally* included, as these breakdowns weren't provided for us... however, it was a lot of fun either way! The experience included a topless server (male) for our party, an instructor and a nude model (also male). Something else that wasn't specified was if you had a female model if you would also have a female server? So not sure on that. I would guess she would be in a bikini or bra top as no nude photography is allowed and they walk around during the entirety of the event serving drinks and handing out pencils as needed. This would be a fun event to celebrate bachelorette parties (obviously), but you could also utilize their services for any type of gathering. I can so see a ladies night in with my friends doing this, but she also mentioned divorce parties (in which case can we have a group of male models I'll take 5 thank u), birthdays for the artsy friend, baby shower because clearly they've seen someone nude and nobody likes baby shower games (she didn't say that but I couldn't resist).... anyways, I digress. The only thing I wish I'd had more of was explanation. Some of them felt kind of rushed and I had no idea how to shade which was detrimental to my artistry (jk my hands are detrimental to my artistry more than anything else)... Would definitely do this again!

At our event, Bobby the server refilled drinks and took care of us during the drawing portion. The instructor and muse were fabulous at providing instruction and maintaining a sophisticated AND fun environment. It was fun to learn drawing techniques, but my skill was just alright! Each round went pretty quickly, so I wish I could have taken a bit more time to draw.

I had a craving for ice cream and was surprised when this place came up in my Google search…read more I had already bookmarked it for jazz night / poetry night, and I knew that they sold chocolate, but I had no idea they had ice cream as well. So I decided to swing by. It was a great decision because their house made pistachio ice cream is the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had anywhere in the world. Pistachio is one of my favorite flavors, and this was simply the best. Chock full of pistachios. The perfect balance of sweet with just a pinch of saltiness. Creamy and delicious and just the absolute perfect treat for a 105° day. Unfortunately, I didn't stay as long as I would have liked because when I first walked in I was greeted with the stench of mildew. I'm not sure if they had some sort of water intrusion event recently, but but there was a strong musty mildew smell soon as I walked through the door. In addition to the ice cream, I also bought some chocolate covered mango and apricot but I ended up taking that to go because I couldn't deal with the smell any longer. I tried my chocolate covered treats when I got home but unfortunately the chocolate just didn't have any taste. None whatsoever. It was rather disappointing. The staff was kind and friendly and welcoming so I appreciated that, and while my visit was much shorter than I anticipated, I would come back for a (quick!) couple scoops of that pistachio ice cream.

Until this past weekend. We went in for my partner's birthday, and I'm sure glad we did. They normally don't like rich desserts or cakes, but they love pretty nice, high end dark chocolates. Chocolate Secrets did not disappoint. We arrived with our family, including two little ones in tow. They actually treated our kids with such love and care. It was slightly understaffed, but even then the service was excellent. We ended up taking a box of nine chocolates to go. Pro tip: they also host jazz nights on most nights. It also seems like a really cool spot for hosting events. My favorite so far was the Yes Yes Yes Truffle. It has milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. All in all, a Dallas institution that I'm so glad I went to.

They communicated at every turn followed up on special requests making accommodations for our needs. It is not easy pulling of corporate sponsored events, but the owner Tanasha, made this process feel easy. Everyone loved the event. The main arts Josh, is so talented. I am getting messages from the attendees that they had a great time and would love to do this activity again. Now for some info on what they offered. Her team comes to your location. They have all the supplies including canvases paintbrushes cups tablecloth aprons everything you would expect if you had to go to an actual location. It is a totally mobile painting experience. That is so big for those of us that have to plan events for large group of coworkers. The communication was quite and friendly. Even when I felt like we were asking to much Tanasha was gracious.

They absolutely commit to the bit and make it feel like you're on a real game show. That energy is everything, and they nailed it. The whole concept only works if they sell it and they 100% delivered. The session ran right at an hour, which felt perfect. No dragging, no awkward downtime just a clean, high-energy experience start to finish. Only heads up: drink options are pretty limited, and definitely grab everything you want before going into the game room. They say you can step out, but once things get going, there's really no natural break to do that. Overall, easy 5/5. Would absolutely do this again especially for group events. They have a few different "scenarios" to experience.
