Fried Goat Cheese
Cassie H.

We went for Mother's Day since my dad was raving about how amazing it was when he went years back (before the relocation). There was no line which was good, but food took forever to come out. The appetizer (fried goat cheese w honey) was good, but main course which was Pre fixe steak (forgot the cuts) was really red and raw for all of us, especially for my dad since requested well done. The dessert also wasn't that great, it tasted frozen (kind of like freezer burn). Ambience was nice, the pianist was amazing. Unfortunately, the lounge next door could be heard which kind of dimmed the mood a little. Overall, I don't think we would come back again.

We ate here on Valentine's Day 2026. My husband, a native to Dallas, mentioned that he had always wanted to eat at the Old Warsaw but never had. So I surprised him with reservations. Here's my takeaway 1) you will absolutely need a reservation- like Don't try to walk in and expect a table, not because they're packed but because you probably won't get past the host/manager. I wouldn't want to cross him... but the table service was good. 2) about 7 days before your reservation they'll call and ask for a credit card to go on file- this guarantees you'll be there and there's a charge for no show 3) I saw reviews stating that men were upset that cowboy hats weren't allowed, however there was a guest wearing a very nice felt cowboy hat, so maybe they realized they were in Texas and changed the rule? 4) It's a prefixed menu with the price being $85 pp for an additional cost you can add a bottle of wine, order cocktails, tea etc. the price point was reasonable 5) Food: Apps were shrimp cocktail (excellent sauce) Cab Cake (a little salty) Mains: Beef Wellington cooked medium rare and it was very good- it was HOT which I like because who likes cold food? The potatoes and veggies were very flavorful. Hubs got the filet cooked medium rare and lobster. His steak was warm had good flavor, but the potatoes were cold and he had to ask for drawn butter for the lobster since it wasn't provided. Oh, and the bread, it was fresh from the oven so we did indulge. Desserts: blueberry cobbler and ice cream- excellent. Key lime pie it was NOT store bought. Overall the ambiance was nice- kind of a 40's elegant vibe mixed with slight mafia feel (just trust me on this) . We checked this spot off the list. We won't go back not because it was bad, but for us it's not a "return" to place. But I do suggest to try it out if you never have.

Menu (with some possible changes written in pen, maybe I shouldn't have been given this one)

I have heard about this place for quite a while and finally found an opportunity to stop in, though unfortunately just for an appetizer and a drink. The tartare was generously sized and totally delicious. The interior of the place is very cool and old-school. The only reason I only gave four stars is it was mostly empty in there and there was no music playing or anything. It was so quiet that every time the refrigerator is behind the bar clicked on it was almost startling. It's a bit disconcerting to eat in total silence. That said I'm excited to return and do an entire prix fixe menu.

DO NOT GIVE AI & THE OLD WARSAW YOUR MONEY!! My fiancé made a Valentine's Day reservation at The Old Warsaw through OpenTable in January. We received multiple confirmations, including confirmations the day before Valentine's Day. On February 4th, we received a poorly written and suspicious text message from someone identifying himself as "Al"(who we later found out is the owner/manager), referencing multiple inconsistent phone numbers. Because it did not come through OpenTable or an official restaurant channel, we reasonably assumed it was a phishing attempt and did not respond. Confident in our confirmed reservation, we arrived dressed formally for what was meant to be a very meaningful evening. The Old Warsaw held sentimental value for our family, as it was a special place for my fiancé's grandparents. Upon arrival, we were ignored for several minutes before being told by Al abruptly and dismissively that we did not have a reservation. When my fiancé showed the OpenTable confirmation on his phone, it was not even reviewed. Instead, Al told us, "I don't care what your phone said. We called you several times. You don't have a reservation. Leave." The interaction was shockingly disrespectful and unprofessional. There was no attempt to verify the confirmation, no courtesy, and no effort to resolve the situation. If the restaurant operates a separate confirmation system outside of OpenTable, that process needs to be clearly communicated and properly managed. Guests should never be dismissed in such a manner, especially when they have documented confirmation. This experience was deeply disappointing, and we will not be returning.

Food was outstanding and the service was excellent. The restaurant is old world and traditional feel. I absolutely love it.

Went on Christmas night for a birthday dinner. Was not too crowded, food and ambiance were great! Service was excellent! Piano player was great and took requests! Perfect Christmas birthday!

My initial reservation booked in early January, this still appeared on Resy. I spoke to someone via phone.

He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

We checked in with the host and were quoted a 30-minute wait, which ultimately turned into 45 minutes. That said, once we were seated, the food came out pretty quickly. The Fried Brie is always a 10/10! The blueberry compote pairs beautifully with the brie, and I love that it's served with sliced baguette on the side. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe with added shrimp, while my husband went with the Bowen Cheeseburger. Unfortunately, the shrimp was extremely salty. I love a well-seasoned dish, but there's a difference between flavorful and overly salty. The seasoning completely overpowered the shrimp, so I ended up picking it off and enjoying the pasta on its own. The Bowen Cheeseburger was excellent, as always. Just keep in mind that you can't request it medium-rare since it's a smashburger. For dessert, I ordered a slice of cheesecake, which comes with the same blueberry compote served with the Fried Brie. It was delicious and earned a solid 9/10 from me! Overall, the food was great, as usual. Aside from the overly salty shrimp and the longer-than-quoted wait, we enjoyed our visit. I'd absolutely come back, especially for that Fried Brie!
