    Love the ambiance... people were so friendly ... wine was Devine .. ambience was superb .. met a couple of fun people ..

    Tuesday tasting a few weeks ago

    The wine authority has an amazing selection of over 700 wines! Tom the owner is the nicest guy and has great taste. He has wines from all over the world and a little something for everyones palate and every budget. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone and the bar tenders are super helpful whether you are new to wine or a seasoned expert - they will help you find the right glass. Tom even helped pick-out all the wine for my wedding and it was a hit!

    This gem of a place is a great find deep in the suburban heart of... Richardson! Yes, Richardson, Tx. Tucked in at the back corner of an assuming business area. They offer great prices, comfy environment and best of all, awesome selections. We only stayed for a glass but surely enjoyed that short stay. Couches, high tops, and a fireplace. Everybody just seemed to be enjoying their time sipping and discover new wines. Definitely a new spot added on the roaring list of other awesome libation place. ;)

    So much fun! Took a chance to try out. Loved the atmosphere, owner and the wine tasting we "crashed". Learned to open bottles with a saber!!

    Good friends & drinks

    This is practically the best hidden gem in Richardson if you are looking for a quiet, no pressure spot for wine and conversation. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender and made friends with another patron. We will definitely be back... this week I think!

Food: Tried many different pizzas and pastas here and they have all been delicious! Drinks: N/A - I've only ordered food. Overall: This restaurant is part of the regular rotation when ordering delivery! Definitely give them a try!

We had scheduled an early dinner (6:00) and there were only 7 tables throughout the night enjoying dinner service. Well, we won't be going back till the addition to the restaurant is completed, due to the noise factor!!!!!!! There was sawing noise which was so loud we joked it made us feel like we were at the dentist office having a negative experience. Along with nail guns, not what you wish to have when you're trying to have a an enjoyable dinner experience! Upon being sat we asked Patrick, our server, if they were going to continue working and he was very put off by our question. He told they were about to wrap it up for the evening. Nope, still going strong at 7:00!!? We should have left...but we had committed to the evening by ordering a bottle of wine, meatballs (deliciousness!), and salad that came overdressed with dressing (yuck!). My friend ordered the Margarita pizza, which they left the fresh basil off, which is a key ingredient. Me, the sea-bass, which was overcooked & very fishy. My hubby the pork & beef pasta with ricotta, which was overcooked and mushy. Needless to say less than stellar. And Patrick was not very friendly or accommodating. Worst night of my Life, I was so embarrassed! When dining, you usually have background music, not a building under construction??!!! $200 dinner, ruined, horrible!!!!

    TG Steakhouse was a pleasant surprise. Had I known about this restaurant when I lived closer to…read morethis side of town I would've dined here at least once a month. I love the layout of the inside. It's open concept so you can see the chef cooking the meat in the kitchen from the main dining room area. There's also a neat, well designed hand washing station in the hallway that leads to the restroom. Overall ambiance is good with sufficient seating, though on the smaller side. What's different about this restaurant is the variety of meat dishes they offer. I've eaten at plenty of Brazilian restaurants in the DFW metroplex, but never have I ever seen chicken hearts, brisket, beef ribs, ribeye, shrimp and so much more in the rotation. For the dinner to have been $55 with tax (& me ordering an espresso shot) for the high quality cuts I am super impressed and certainly recommend others to dine here vs the other more mainstream establishments that are always advertised. I also really enjoyed their salad/hot bar...though not the biggest, there was a nice selection of sides to choose from. All in all I really enjoyed the service & food here and definitely see myself returning soon.

Got up got some of the cheese puff bread none of them were hot but they looked like they were being brought ought fairly quickly got some Cesaer salad and then the protein started coming by. First time I had tried spicy picanya and I liked it more than the garlic picanya. All the meats were fantastic. Owner has put in a lot of money into the spot and it shows they do have a small bar area. The place is a small spot for Brazilian steak house but it works. Ended up paying about $115. Servers kept coming by and checking on the table and asking if we had special requests. If your in a date and dont wanna go yo one of the big Brazilian steak house chains Def hit this spot.

Henry checked on us often, was super patient, and just genuinely kind. Bernie kept our water full and was always nearby making sure we were good without hovering. They made the whole night feel easy and fun. The food was just as good. We started with the mushroom fondue, creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The bread was perfect, crispy and thin but still sturdy enough to scoop everything up without falling apart. We also split one of the toast boards and loved it. Great mix of flavors and just a really fun thing to share. They're also known for some really good favorites like the burrata toast, steak frites, truffle fries, and their charcuterie boards. Their brunch gets a lot of hype too, especially the French toast and eggs Benedict. And their seasonal cocktails are always a hit, really creative and well balanced. Bathrooms were clean, always a plus. Only tiny note, I wish there were more purse or coat hooks, every place needs those. Overall, we had such a great time. The service really stood out and the food totally delivered. Definitely one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit.

Super yummy! Mama had the grilled cheese with tomato soup and I had the BLT. The BLT came in pita bread and was moist and tasty. For dessert I had the fudge brownie and mama had the pear and apple crisp! They were so good we ate them before we could even get a picture.
