    Chica seed vanilla w/strawberries and banana
    Michael F.

    When I visit a new city, I try not to repeat restaurants for any meal. And while I did manage to explore some great food options while in the Dallas area, I did double dip for breakfast at The Bistro. Net, it was worth grabbing a second bite. The first of my three day stay, I just grabbed a juice on my way out. It was a bit pricy, but check out was quick. I got up a bit earlier day 2, so ordered this chica seed vanilla w/strawberries and banana dish to go. I don't remember the full name of it, but can say it was a healthy portion and came out promptly as well. The chica seed dish itself was just ok, but I loved the fresh fruit. My last day I still woke up early enough for a decent breakfast so I decided to dine in. I ordered a coffee and the avocado toast. The toast came on whole grain with pickled red onions, a hard-cooked egg, and a small bed of arugula. Again, a bit pricy for breakfast (but not for avocado toast), I was very satisfied with the dish. Actually, I wish I had ordered it the day before because it would be worth repeating. Service was quick on both my to-go and dine in days. The eating area was clean and it wasn't difficult to find a seat to relax. You can bill to your room or pay as you go. Net, an overall solid experience!

    Breakfast was good. They staff at breakfast was very accommodating. The night guy on Sunday wasn't accommodating at all hence why I call out the breakfast staff. Had the avocado toast with over medium eggs

    The service at the bistro is amazing. They all have such great attitudes and are so nice. So happy to come to the bistro after a long day of work. They have a decent variety of drinks and the food is good quality. Had the shrimp rigatoni in vodka sauce for dinner and was delicious. Just wanted to add that Henok is such a great host! What a breath of fresh air.

    My expectations were low for a restaurant in the lobby of a Courtyard by Marriott but they were FAR exceeded. Henok clearly takes great pride in his work. The Brussel sprouts dish was one of the best I've ever had (and I order them a lot). The flatbread was good too. You just never know!

We had two servers and both were kind and helpful with taking our order and getting drinks and food out on time! The restaurant is mood-lit and vibey. It's a calm atmosphere and their bar area is stunning. I got the fries and friends, which came with three dipping sauces. This is a very generous portion and my boyfriend and I were unable to finish it between the two of us- would be great to share with 4 people, in my opinion! I also got the Brussel sprouts, which I did finish. They are cooked to perfection and have an incredible garlic sauce. They used to have grapes mixed in, which I LOVED! However, they have since changed the menu. I understand it was an odd pairing and maybe guests didn't want to try it, but it was great!!! Sad to see it change, but still good! My boyfriend and I both got the great rum punch, and it packed a punch! Although l couldn't taste the alcohol on the sweet drink, I could feel it! We had a great time and will be back. We wanted to recommend the charcuterie board, we get it most times we come! They always have fresh and seasonal options they put on the board and have even made a fully vegetarian board for me before, they're great!

I hold onto dessert. The menu looked a little different, and the service was really good. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were absolutely wonderful. I don't even like tomatoes, but apparently my objections disappear once you bread and fry them. I have principles. They're just negotiable. For my entrée, I ordered the steak salad. It was okay, but nothing I'd get excited about. The steak was lukewarm, and the dressing was sweeter than I wanted. I prefer my sweets in cake form, which, conveniently, was already part of the agenda. I'd skip the salad next time for the price; I've had better meals elsewhere. But the whiskey cake? Still amazing. Still worth remembering years later. Honestly, I'd come back again and again just for that cake. So my lunch had a strong opening, an underwhelming middle, and a spectacular finale. Thankfully, I'm very willing to forgive a plot issue when dessert sticks the landing.

    The Ranch is a long-standing restaurant in Irving-Las Colinas, which is a very popular place for…read moreafter work Happy Hour. Recently, I had lunch here, and they now have a new farm to table menu that really exceeded my expectations. The Ranch has reinvented itself many times, and now it's a restaurant I would visit for the food AND atmosphere. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - At its core, it's a bar with several indoor and outdoor dining areas with a country theme. The Ranch is so versatile that you can host a private event while people dine in the main area while others hang out at the bar. There's also a charming outdoor area that is nice if the weather is cool. Best of all - it's full of people and energy. 1 Star. Service - Our server was great. We explained the concept, went over the menu, and while a large table occupied his time, several of the staff were helpful. Everyone was dressed in Cowboy/Ranch gear. Texas Southern Hospitality is real. 1 Star. Food - My most recent visit was like visiting a new restaurant. The Ranch's menu has changed, and everything was new. I started with the pork belly appetizers, which was a great start to meal. The tender pork meat had a layer of sweet + salty belly that melts in your mouth. I went with the Barbacoa Grilled Cheese that was one of the best I've ever had. The barbacoa (shredded BBQ beef) was the star and was better than any brisket grilled cheese I've had. The sourdough was grilled with lots of butter, so after devouring the sandwich I had to wash my hands. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Absolutely. I had been to The Ranch so many times I considered a place to gather for Happy Hour. Not anymore. The new menu is incredible, and I can't wait to return. 1 Star.

This place gives Texas Chic vibes in a fun way. The hostess were very welcoming and helped us to our table shortly after we arrived. We decided to share a few dishes and really enjoyed them all. - The Meat and cheese board was a great assortment of items. While I didn't eat the meat, my friends really enjoyed the options. The cheese, fruit, nuts and spreads were all delicious. - The Margarita pizza had an interesting twist with the addition of pecans. I really enjoyed it however, I wished the tomatoes would have been consistently sliced as some were barely if at all sliced so you had to do a little more work to keep them in place. - The House salad was good and I enjoyed the vinaigrette it was served with. We also shared a bottle of the house white wine which we all really enjoyed. It wasn't clear from the wine menu that this was an option, but our waiter recommended it and even brought us a sample. The service of a waiter was a mixed bag. I'm not sure if it was the time of our reservation or what else may have been going on but we didn't find him to be as helpful without being prompted, at times made a feel a bit rushed and moved on from us quickly. It was the first time for at least two of us but he didn't ask this nor mention anything about the menu or concept to us. The one exception was with the wine recommendation. Overall we all enjoyed the food enough to want to return with hope for a better service experience.

    A gem in an otherwise culinary wasteland…read more This bistro is located off the main lobby of the Westin at DFW. There are multiple budget hotels in the area and the only food choices within reasonable walking distance are Denny's, gas stations and an outdoor food shed at another motel. There is a well curated list of local craft beers (8). Make a point to ask for the separate alternative "healthy menu". The food on that menu is very different from the comfort food on the main menu and it is available in half orders. I tried a half order of chicken and avocado arepas and a half order of tuna tataki. Both were delicious and visually pleasing. Staff is attentive, engaged but not intrusive. Prices for these two items were $8 each, very reasonable.

This includes a few nights at the bar and 2 nights in my room. The staff was never overly inviting but they were usually busy with a demanding crowd of hotel guests. Ordering through the Marriott app looked like a great option but it wouldn't work once they asked you how you'd like to pay. When you go downstairs and scan their QR code, it brings you to the same interface but on a website rather than an app, and that worked fine. The chicken wrap with fries was pretty good and was my go to. The house salad wasn't great and I wouldn't try it again. The half order of the tuna was decent but I loved the pickled veggies under them and would have just had a bowl of those! I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but having this inside your hotel for convenience is nice.
