Plenty of seating was available when we visited in October, and the whole place was decked out in Halloween-themed decorations. Service was great, and there's a huge selection of drinks and food to choose from, so there's something for everyone. There's also plenty to do around the area, especially during Halloween, when Denton really comes alive with all the spooky vibes. Definitely the place to go if you're looking for a fun atmosphere and a bit of Halloween magic! The team serving the tables was dressed up for Halloween too. Food and service were great! The location is very walkable, and there are plenty of free parking spots on nearby streets. You might have to drive around a little during peak hours, but it's worth it.

LSA Burger seems to be a pretty happening spot at 6:00 PM. We sat at the bar and ordered our beers and burgers. Our food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The service was 9/10, quality and taste of the burger 10/10. The Waylon burger is actually a classic burger. The bread was so soft but not soggy. The meat patty was so juicy and moist that it had the slightest seasoning and it was still sooooooooo good! They didn't ask how we wanted our burgers so they were cooked medium. Surprisingly it was cooked to perfection and that's coming from someone that likes medium rare. The fries 10/10 great portion and were so fresh with just the right amount of salt and pepper. I loved how they were fried to perfection yet not greasy! The parking situation isn't great during peak time, but we got lucky and had only a short walk! When returning to Denton, LSA Burger will be on our favorites list.

We (4 of us) had dinner at Onyx tonight. What an incredible meal and fantastic service. We ordered…read morethe chicken dumpling appetizer (YES- chicken dumplings with a parmigiana sauce). A Caesar salad, two orders of the salmon, one order of spaghetti and one order of basil pesto farfalle. The dumpling appetizer was phenomenal and the red sauce topping was incredible. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the pasta was very nice. The salmon was served with a potato puree. I thought it odd at first, but it was incredible! Sorry I took pics after I started eating. The meal was beautiful AND delicious! Prices were very reasonable (the salmon was $23), the appetizers were $13-15. Service was prompt, professional, and very attentive. This place should be packed every night with the quality of their food and reasonable prices.

We recently tried Onyx and came away pleasantly surprised…read more The décor isn't the traditional old-world Italian style. Instead, it's modern, stylish, and chic, creating a comfortable atmosphere that feels more upscale than expected. Our server, Sammy, was outstanding. She had a warm, welcoming personality and genuinely seemed invested in making sure we had a great dining experience. Excellent customer service can make all the difference, and she definitely delivered. The wine selection was somewhat limited, but they carried Josh, one of our favorite wineries, so we happily enjoyed a glass with dinner. We started with the calamari, which was made with rings rather than tentacles. It had a light, crispy batter, wasn't overcooked, and came with a delicious marinara sauce that complemented it perfectly. For our entrées, we ordered the half rack of lamb and the farfalle with pesto sauce. Both dishes were packed with flavor. The lamb was cooked well, and the accompanying potatoes were absolutely bursting with flavor. The farfalle with pesto was equally delicious and very satisfying. My only criticism is that a traditional rack of lamb is typically eight chops, so I expected a half rack to include four chops. Ours came with only three, which left me wondering where the fourth chop went. The only other thing I noticed was that there was just one other couple dining while we were there. Since the restaurant has only been open for about six weeks, I certainly wouldn't judge it based on that, but I'd love to see more people discovering this place. Overall, I highly recommend giving Onyx a chance. Between the flavorful food, modern atmosphere, and exceptional service from Sammy, it's a restaurant that deserves to succeed. I hope more people stop in and experience it for themselves.

I ordered one made with pear liqueur that tasted just like apple pie! It was such a creative and delicious seasonal drink. For an appetizer, we ordered the UB Pretzel Bites, and they were INSANELY good! The pretzels were delicious, but the beer cheese and mustard really made the dish. These are an absolute must-order, and I would come back for them alone! For dinner, we had the chicken tenders and fries, which were great! The fries were perfectly crispy, and everything came with ranch, honey mustard, and ketchup for dipping. I also finished the evening with an espresso martini, which was absolutely delicious! To top everything off, we were treated to a complimentary birthday dessert, the "Chocolate Caramel Brownie Situation," and I genuinely think it might be the best thing I've eaten all year. It was THAT good! As amazing as the food and drinks were, the service was truly the highlight of our visit. Our bartender, Irving, was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the evening. He went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special, and I can't thank him enough! Overall, Union Bear exceeded my expectations. Between the delicious food, creative cocktails, and outstanding hospitality, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday experience. I highly recommend stopping by, and I'll absolutely be back!

The portions are generous--I brought home half my meal, and it tasted just as good the next day. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars was that the restaurant was uncomfortably warm on the Friday evening we visited. In the Texas heat, the last thing you want is to be sweating through dinner. Hopefully it's just a temporary issue because I'd love to come back and bring my guy next time!

Our server Nacho was great! Everything else not so much. Our experience other than the waiter just…read morekinda sucked. The temperature inside the restaurant wasn't very cool. Then they had a BUNCH of ceiling fans turned on blowing the semi warm air around and it just wasn't a pleasant atmosphere with all the air blowing around and making all the different food smells get mixed up while you're trying to enjoy your dish. But moving on to the most important thing in a restaurant.. the food .. We ordered the FILET OSCAR for $48 which was a 10oz Filet Mignon, Crab Cake, Hollandaise Sauce, Asparagus and Whipped Potatoes. The steak was very overcooked. The asparagus was also overcooked somehow. The crab cake was deep fried and so so so oily and dry at the same time while being drenched in whatever sauce it was covered in. The whipped potatoes were pretty good but at this point the entire dish was so bad that there was nothing to accompany the whipped potatoes. The server was very nice and the food came out fairly fast but unfortunately it just didn't taste good. Has anyone else ever seen a deepfried crabcake at an upscale restaurant? Or I guess any restaurant for that matter? It was just a very distasteful way to present a dish that should have taken more TLC to prepare rather than just to bread and throw in a fryer like that. Sad day for us as this was on our date night list of local places to try out. We did flag down the manager to give him some live feedback. Hopefully he will try to make things a little better for other customers.

We made reservations. They probably were not needed for the night we were there, but I could see this place filling up quickly on some nights. The restaurant has a cozy retro vibe with MTV videos playing behind the bar and splashes of color throughout. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and the speed of the service was fantastic! Graffiti Pasta specializes in unique, delicious cocktails. There are no beers on tap (just cans), and my husband would have liked to have Peroni on tap even if that were the only choice. I enjoyed two of their cocktail which were both excellent. Our food was delicious and just the right amount of food. We left the restaurant satisfied without feeling like gluttons. Their stuffed mushrooms with filled with a creamy ricotta, the Banksy's Baked Ziti was delicious, and the homemade spaghetti was a special treat. I loved the build your own pasta options, And OMG at their rolls! SO good! Everything was wonderful and truly made for a great dining experience.

Now sadly, the service was very very poor. We came in on 10/11 at 7:55 to get a table. for 2 at 8:00 our place on a waitlist was confirmed and we were told it would be 20-25 minutes. We were not sat until 8:40 after having to come back up and check on our table which the host seemed to have forgot as it was open once we walked up. From being sat at 8:40 in the downstairs area, the 2 servers working the area proceeded to walk by us & not say a word for 12 minutes for us to get greeted and get our order in (which we had drinks, apps, & entrees all ready to go by that point) at 9:04 we received our drinks, mind you 26 minutes after we were sat. Our servers were very unenthusiastic, didn't get a proper introduction upon greeting, but our ticket said our servers name was Svaya. From there, everything was slow, getting the check, getting refills, never checked in with us after our food cameThis place is a slam dunk on food, just really needs to get its service up to that same bar.

We came here with a group, and the whole setup worked really well for just sitting around, talking, and having a good time. I probably wouldn't come here absolutely starving though. A lot of the menu is smaller dishes and à la carte items, so it's more of a place to grab some food while you're having drinks and hanging out. I had the beef birria taco plate with rice and beans, and it was enough to fill me up, but I definitely wasn't stuffed afterward. The chips and salsa were really good. The salsa has a decent kick to it, but apparently not enough to slow me down because I went through two baskets of chips and two ramekins of salsa. Our server was great. She checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and kept the drinks from sitting empty for long. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. They have regular tables and chairs, but also couches and comfy chairs, so it's easy to settle in and stay awhile without feeling rushed. Overall, Wild Cactus is a great place for some drinks, good conversation, and a little food along the way. Just don't show up expecting a giant dinner.

While the bathroom was clean it wreaked of weed, we feel like our wait staff were definitely under some type of substance since they never could comprehend our requests. We ordered the Mexican Sampler and for $40 it just did not seem worth the price. The quesadillas from taco bell are better and the tacos lacked any sort of flavor.

We ordered a…read morebottle of wine and told our server to hold off placing our entrée order for 15 minutes so that we could enjoy a glass of wine in a leisurely fashion. We had no idea it would take an hour and a half for our food to show up. And when it did well, here's how it went. My wife had the chicken piccata and I had the wise guy pizza. My wife enjoyed her plate. Based on the last time I ordered the same pizza a year ago what showed up on the table was a sad echo of something that used to be good. The sauce was very thin and to the point of almost being nonexistent. The meatballs were very stingy as if they were trying to increase their margins by short serving a basic pizza. Overall, it was very dry and lacking of any discernible taste. No doubt because it sat in the kitchen for quite awhile, given the unusual duration that it took for our food to show up. I've had better frozen pizzas from the grocery store. It was a very dry and disappointing for something that used to be overloaded with flavor, sauce and meatball chunks. It was a marked contrast from when we had been here a year ago. What used to be a regular go to has turned into a sad disappointment. I'm putting it down to perhaps they had an off night. But we're not in a hurry to come back anytime soon to see if that was the case.
