Different than both of my favorites at home, these hold their own against both. I came in for a solo Sunday brunch on the patio, the spot was buzzin'! I started with a mimosa and coffee, ordered the pancakes I'd intentionally driven here to try with a side of eggs and bacon. Very yummy! Service was great, I'll definitely be back to have these again. If these aren't the best pancakes in North Texas, please point me towards the ones that are.

Our server was very attentive and answered all of our questions. We started with the Baked Brie, Mezze Platter, and the Mexican Seafood Cocktail. All of the items were well prepared and very tasty! The Focaccia that comes with the Brie could be a great item by itself and the Hummus on the Mezze platter was super tasty. We also had the Braised Short Rib which was very well prepared with a great sauce. The Pork Chop was one of the best I had with a fantastic seasoning. The Greens that come with it should be on the menu all on their own, they are that good! Encina is a great option for lunch or dinner! You definitely need to stop reading and get in here!

You can really tell there's creativity and thought put into every plate--it's not just good food, it's a full experience. Their menu occasionally changes, however you cannot go wrong with any dish. The ambience was wonderful, with a relaxed, inviting vibe and soft background music that enhanced the dining experience without ever being too loud. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely love to come back and try more, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and flavorful. Here's a list of the items we tried (and loved!), which was plenty of food for a group of four (Pictures are labeled for reference): - Nashville Hot Oysters - Tuna Tartare -Mussels -Grilled Leeks -Ricotta Cavatelli -Grilled Olives -Cornbread Brioche -Ribeye -Smoked Trout -Chocolate Cake -Lavender Pannacotta

I received the third degree from at least 3 servers making sure i was going to fill the table. I assured them i was. You have to get here early bc otherwise you can't get a place to sit. I ordered a lemonade and mac and cheese. Mac and cheese took like 30 min and was $10 for a small bowl. Better than last time i was here but not worth the wait. It took so long and my friend who arrived after me got her potato skins i was like maybe they forgot about me. When i was finally able to flag down a server i was told the kitchen was backed up but that they could check on it for me. I had also asked for water with no cucumber which finally came an hour later when i asked again. The servers seemed to be avoiding us and when you could get someone to stop they were disinterested and acted like i was inconveniencing them. I had my hand up for several minutes bc i had no idea how to get my servers attention for a box, my check and my water. The food here is overpriced and the service is terrible. The patio was freezing and loud. 10/10 do not recommend.

Our server was very friendly and attentive! Drink: Spicy Hibiscus Margarita - Fruity and spicy all in one refreshing cocktail. 10/10! App: Butternut Squash Focaccia - So delicious! The focaccia was light and fluffy. The bits of balsamic soaked into the bread added just the right amount of tanginess. Mains: Kimchi Scallion Pancakes and Korean Glass Noodles - Both were packed with flavor and spice! I loved the chewiness of the pancakes and the savory kimchi. The noodles had a great bite and were perfectly coated in an umami sauce. Overall, everything was fantastic! Can't wait to come back, as they change their menu based on the seasons!

Warm, well balanced sweetness paired with caramel and ice cream just enough to close out the night right. Service took care of me and the Old Fashion was a nice touch.

Fancy spot! You wouldn't mind if I review it, would you? Eating out in Dallas can get really…read moreexpensive, really quick. Often times after it's all said & done, you wonder - was that worth it? Thankfully, that is NOT the experience I had at Haywire! I ate here on August 9th, 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. I was with a large party but would love to return for a more intimate experience. On this Saturday, my younger cousin was graduating from Parker University so I was in town for the weekend. At around 1pm, I was one of the first to arrive at the restaurant. Unfortunately the parking is a bit confusing. There was construction being done on the same street when I went but there's a parking garage for customers that's difficult to navigate AND the elevator that connects wasn't operating at the time which was an issue for many (but not me, I got a good spot & walked). My party hadn't all arrived yet so I took a gander. Upon entering the tall doors, the space breathes southwestern elegance: wooden structure, leather seating, separate dining areas with highlighted ranch-style art. The abundance of space gives it an open-concept feel. The lighting fixtures are modern, the space was dim but not too low, with an option to utilize the large windows also. I was quiet impressed at the overall presentation. When my party did arrive, I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered the Chicken Cobb Salad and a Hibiscus Haze with Vodka. The table shmoozed as we ate some of the appetizers: the Crab Dip & Green Tomatoes, both amazing. The food did take some time but, considering it was 10-12 of us, that's expected. The Hibiscus Haze was splendid: smooth & flavorful, a great concoction. Cobb salads are usually pretty thick but this one was HEARTY. It came in a large bowl stuffed with the all the toppings. The dressing it was tossed with was well balanced but could've used a tad bit more. With some pepper & a little ranch, I was set! I defeated the salad but it also left me stuffed to the gills. Satisfying meal that I would order again! There are tons of restaurants to dine at in Dallas & sometimes you never know which is worth your time. Despite the inconvenience of parking, I'd bet my bottom dollar that this is a good place to eat. Whether you want a fine dining experience, it's a special occasion or just want a good drink with a meal, Haywire has enough to satisfy all interests.

Knowledgeable about the menu & great recommendations. Kev was a joy to have as our server. The food is amazing & love the ambiance of the restaurant. My only complaint...we came in early Saturday prior to Stars game. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were asked to wait. Waited maybe 5-10mins. No biggie, A lot of open tables were available for immediate sit down. Again that wasn't a big deal. I had asked for a booth & wanted to sit in front room. The hostess said no a problem. She handed us off to a younger hostess and she took us to a table. I told her I had requested a booth. In the front room only 3 tables were occupied. I pointed out the booth and she said that's for party of 6. However, we could have the 1/2 table/booth. Made absolutely no sense because that was for a party of 6 as well. I made this comment & she just stared at me without saying a word. I didn't want to seem difficult and took the table as she just walked away. Kev was confused as we were. No good communication skills. It was an awkward encounter. The restaurant wasn't busy at all & never was whole time there. Kev wasn't sure why she didn't move us a requested & was puzzled himself. However i apologized to him & explained I wasn't trying to be difficult, but prefer booth sitting and most times we will wait for one. We left at 1:45p and restaurant was no busier than when we arrived. Reservation/Booth or not! I guess saying all of this, your front staff need to have more people skills when dealing with your customers. They are the face and first point of contact. Again Kev was amazing & food was outstanding!

That was not such a bad thing because honestly, the bar had a cooler vibe than the dining room did. But the large part of that was the two bartenders that were both very personable and kept the show rolling while we ate. The food to me was pretty solid, but I will stop short of saying it was fantastic. My Chicken was over-cooked and therefore dried out, but still tasty. The Frites were excellent. The Filet was excellent as well. Pro tip-sit at the bar, the bartenders keep it lively and fun!
