    Night Owl - Vodka, espresso, gingerbread, black walnut
    Karen H.

    We had a private event there and their private event room is down the hallway with the bathrooms when you first get up the stairs. It's pretty spacious inside and we only had 22 people at two long tables so it was perfect. I liked the ambiance with the bookshelves. The food itself was pretty good but I was actually impressed with the cocktails. We really enjoyed them and I especially loved the Jade Eclipse. The only thing I didn't love is that I waited so long for my Night Owl to come and after about 30 minutes or so I had to ask about it again before it finally came. Overall a very solid spot!

    Didn't love this vodka and lemon drink.

    I was hesitant to come here just because of history of the Woolworth brand, but I really had no other options. I thought from the menu and social media that this was an upscale dining venue, unfortunately, there are things that make it not so. First, where is the entrance? It was not easy to find. Thankfully, there were plenty of unhoused men ready to lead the way. Second, when I'm dressed up, I typically wear heels. Unfortunately, this is an old building and there are only stairs to get you to the restaurant. Save the heels ladies, this restaurant isn't made for all that sass. There is an elevator, but it says for ADA only and it also takes 5 lifetimes to get to each floor. The majority of the customers were dressed in casual clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. I'm visiting Dallas and I guess I didn't understand what this end of town is like. The photo shoot version of the restaurant in social media didn't match the clientele tonight. I ordered a vodka based drink that had strawberries, prosecco, and lemon. It was not good. I asked for the mule instead and that was tasty. My husband and I ordered the calamari and the pork for appetizers. I had the chip salad and the lobster mac b cheese for my entrees. My husband had the veal. He liked his entree. We both thought the calamari was fresh, but the breading needed more seasoning and a crispier blend to also stick to the food. The pork chunks were tender and salty. My salad was fresh and gave a variety of veggies to feel like I was eating healthy. The lobster mac would have been better without the lobster, it had no flavor. I was offered dessert, but our server said there was absolutely no espresso or coffee beans. There was only premade espresso for espresso martinis. So, I didn't try the dessert.

    We sat outside on the patio. Food was a 5/10, but service and management was 10/10, bringing this score average up to an 8. The calamari was okay. Cooked well but nothing exciting or stand out - ish about it. My husband's chicken was overcooked and the steak for my salad was overcooked as well- I told them not to worry about it but they took the extra steps of giving us free dessert and a complementary wine on the house. For that, I would come back here again in the hopes that food would be better the next go around. Management can truly make a difference in the mind of the customer and this is a prime example.

    Loud inside - but we enjoyed The Woolworth. This was our first time here. We had 6:30 pm reservations on a Friday night. It's on the second floor so you have to walk up the stairs to get to it. There was an elevator and I was able to send a hostesss down with a key to open the elevator for my wife to use. Following dinner, they said the elevator was broken :( We sat in the main, indoor eating / bar area at a 4-top next to a window the overlooked the outdoor seating area. Our server, Ramadan K was over quickly to take our drink order (Long Island Iced Tea and a Lavender Haze). It took a bit for the drinks to arrive but that gave us time to survey the menu. We were sharing and we ordered the Little Gem Salad to start. We loved the Little Gem! The Catch of the Day was Mahi Mahi and the preparation sounded good, so we ordered and shared that. It was great. I ordered a second Lavender Haze cocktail and my wife ordered a glass of Riesling. Other than the elevator issue, the only other dislike was the noise level. It was real loud inside. But in spite of that, we'd come back to The Woolworth as the service level and food variety and quality were great. We'd likely try sitting outside next time.

    Brussels Sprouts

    So I was planning a team outing here and had to cancel but the Sales Rep, Jean, was so nice I decide to just come and try the place out for dinner for myself. Man I am glad I did. The place was popping and I smelled the food as I walked up the stairs to the second floor. I am not a big drinker but I did order the lychee diamond and it was Delicious. I then ordered lobster egg rolls. 100/10. Came out in minutes and was piping hot and soo very good. I ate every piece of it. Again the place is a whole vibe. I ordered the jumbo prawns and polenta entree with an order of Brussels sprouts. I ate it all everything was seasoned to perfection. So glad I opted to go out for dinner instead of Staying inside. If your downtown Dallas come and check this place out And thank me later

    Lobster grilled cheese!!!!!  Just wow!!!
    Dan B.

    Today we took a client to lunch and wow! We split three sandwiches just so we could try them and we were blown away! Service by Chris was awesome, he brought the energy and he was super attentive. The ambiance was quiet and allowed us to talk even though they were very busy. Well done!

    Clara K.

    During our visit in Dallas we came here based on hotel front desk recommendation. The foods were good but the drinks were sooooo good! Our server Edward was so friendly and funny. He made our visit super pleasant. True Southern hospitality! Highly recommend this place!

    Outstanding service by Brayan. I need to eat gluten-free and he walked me through the menu and double-checked for options at brunch. I had the crab nachos with avocado slices - very tasty. My husband had the short rib skillet and said it was very good as well. Highly recommend.

    Crab cake sandwich and tots (sweet potato )
    Bianka M.

    The Woolworth has easily become a go to for my family. We also tend to end up here when friends are in town for lunch and at times dinner and cocktails. The service is always welcoming and the food has always been on point. My family favorites are the crab nachos, lobster grill cheese, seafood salad & crab cake sandwich. The struggle Fries aren't worth writing home about as the additional $4 isn't worth the small sprinkle of parsley and cheese. Opt for the sweet potato tots instead. The views are great from the booths at the window additionally the book room that appears like a library is very appealing. Our children enjoy going into the room and using their reading rainbow imagination of secret doors behind the books :-)

    If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Service maybe 3 stars but the food absolutely horrible. Drinks, horrible. I was actually looking forward to our night out here but that was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. Dry, flavorless, crispy, burnt, goodness gracious wth was that. $100 down the drain. Zero. Stars.

    That's what she said

    Perla was amazing! She was awesome and so attentive. Food was delicious and so were the drinks.

    Zoodles, so fresh & so clean cocktail, up all night cocktail
    Kiran K.

    Brunch @ Woolworth Food wise: 3/5 good, not amaaaaazing. Nothing I hadn't had before. I would go back but I don't think I'd ever crave going back. I got the zoodles which were great for what they are, and my friend got the B&G which he also thought was simple but good. Heads up: The bacon was more small cut up pieces sprinkled in and not strips and there was hardly any sausage. It was mostly eggs on top of gravy on top of biscuit. Service: amazinggg 5/5, we had (was it Tori?) she's normally a bartender but was serving brunch and she was amazing with recommendations and had a very good knowledge of the menu and atmosphere. Ambiance: 3/5, I actually think it was decorated so cute for Christmas and this could have probably easily been a 4 or 5 out of 5 but our specific table was on the outskirts, close to the front staircase entrance so it was cute but didn't feel like an "experience", if you will. Overall 4/5

    Carl was a fantastic sever - he provided suggestions on every aspect of the menu from drinks to food and all the suggestions were wonderful! There was plenty of seating that was well spaced out providing a great environment for intimate events such as celebrating my birthday! They did provide a complimentary cake which made the celebration even more special.

    Service was next level. Our waiter's name was Kirk and he made the experience feel Michelin quality. The food wasn't too far behind.

    There is a public parking garage right across the street.

    Are there stairs? I want to take my grandmother, but she uses a walker and I'd like to avoid any substantial amount of stairs

    Yes. On 2nd floor but if you call the number on the elevator by the button you can get somebody to open up the elevator so you can use it to the second floor. It's for only ADA like people.

The service felt distant and rushed. Our server seemed unfamiliar with the menu, gave us conflicting information about drink availability, and rarely checked on us. We specifically asked not to be rushed, yet our entrées arrived while we were only a quarter of the way through our appetizer. At one point, our food was delivered while we were outside getting fresh air. The food was also disappointing. The scallops and chicken were extremely salty and lacked flavor, and the chicken was overcooked. When we brought it up, the server did little to address it. To top it off, we saw two large cockroaches around our table, which was especially noticeable in the dark dining room. The cocktails were the highlight, but overall, the service, food, pacing, and cleanliness did not meet expectations. One star. Very disappointing, and I'm not sure I'll be back.

I'd argue it wasn't worth it.
