    New Restaurant that's been on my list. Welcome to Velour! I decided to check out Sunday Funday Brunch. I love that they offer Happy Hour Specials on Sundays. This includes BRUNCH! They have food and cocktail specials so that was a BIG plus. I have mixed emotions writing this review. Some things were truly great and a few things need work. They are new and still working out some kinks. Service 5 STARS Service was AMAZING! Our waiter was on point. He was polished, polite, pleasant and just phenomenal. He made the experience even better. I can honestly say he was helpful and went above and beyond my expectations. Ambiance 4.5 STARS The restaurant is definitely modern, posh and chic. It's truly cute and I appreciate the simple decor. The bar area feels sophisticated. It has a huge tv screen and nice barstools. The colors are nicely matched throughout the restaurant. The restrooms are dark, but sexy. It's a great space and feels comfortable and clean. Cocktails 4 STARS I thought they were all tasty and delicious. I could taste the liquor. I was happy and satisfied! Food 3 STARS Overall This is where it fell apart. I wasn't happy with it. Some items were yummy and others fell short. The good-OYSTERS were awesome. I loved these and would recommend them. The chicken lollipops were scrumptious. They were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Presentation was excellent. These items get: 4 STARS. The ok-PANCAKES were decent. You get two and they are a good size. The syrup had a nice flavor. They weren't the prettiest pancakes, but overall they were acceptable. 2.5 STARS The bad-fried chicken was fried too hard and very BLAND. They need to work on the recipe. Also double check what pieces you will get. I was given a breast, thigh and wing. I like small pieces of chicken and had stressed this. They were out of legs and I really wanted a leg. Shrimp and grits were not the best. Grits were hard and undercooked. The shrimp were fine, but you only get three. 1STAR What I loved is that the manager came to the table. I gave him some constructive feedback. He was very receptive and offered to make things right. This made me feel better about dining here. The grits were sent back. I was able to get all wings. Overall it was good experience. I am always happy to support a new restaurant. I think once they work out a few things they have potential. A few menu tweaks on the recipes would be great. It wasn't perfect, but I can say the new leadership is great. My final thought is...Food really should be the star of the restaurant experience. Fix the chicken and grits!

    The experience at Velour was interesting... and definitely a never again for me for food. Six of my friends and I went for brunch and were one of the first groups there when they opened. They advertise a complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival, but we were not offered this. It was only after we asked later in the service that the champagne was finally given to us, which already set a disappointing tone. We ordered happy hour drinks and those were honestly 10/10 amazing. Unfortunately, the food did not match the quality of the drinks. I ordered the French toast with banana foster. The banana foster sauce itself was good, but the bread tasted burnt and overly hard taste, and the dish sat in a soupy base that helped the taste a bit. Several people at our table received their food cold. We were asked to step away to take pictures while the food was brought out, but when we returned about 10 minutes later after being told the food was ready it was cold. Three people in our party didn't eat their meals at all. It took about 30 minutes for the manager to come to the table. We were told he was also cooking, which already felt like poor management. Before coming over, we watched him stop to chat with a friend at the bar and the friend looked back at our table as if the manager was complaining about us.. very unprofessional. When he finally spoke to us, he wouldn't offered refunds and said he would give us free shots and I believe he took 15% off their price. However, it took so long for those shots to even come out that we decided to leave without them. Every request seemed to take a long time for anything to come out. Our server was kind but forgetful and clearly overwhelmed. We still tipped him because he tried, but overall the service and food execution were very poor. The space itself is beautiful, but that's where the positives end. If I ever returned which is unlikely it would be for drinks only. I would never order food here again.

    Sticky ribs were unbelievable
    Jasmine R.

    We went for appetizers and had an amazing time. Our server was very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. We had the sticky ribs and the lamb skewers and of course fries because I'm just a girl. The food came out, piping hot, very tasty and played it nicely. The whole aesthetic in this place is a vibe from start to finish when you walk in. It is just super super pretty. There are spots where you can get good Instagrammable photos. I will definitely be back here.

    I've been wanting to check out Velour for a few weeks. After popping in after a movie, this experience was worth the stop. The hostess advised it was a full house but was able to seat us at the bar with no reservation. The service at the bar was reasonable, I can tell the pace changed when the dinner rush came in which was understandable. We started with the charred oysters and the Champagne Piña Freeze. The oysters were pretty good and the Freeze was AMAZING. Not a big frozen drink person but it had the best balance of champagne and freeze. Loved that. We ordered the Southern Fried Catfish and the Smash Burger. I have to say the food was 10/10 and will definitely be back. The atmosphere was perfect the music was at a fair volume where I didn't feel like I was screaming, the space was really chill and gave a champagne room vibe. I will definitely be back to enjoy more items at velour in the future.

    It's a birthday celebration and we came to eat. The only problem parking around here is crazy. I don't understand why valet is not in front of the entrance, OH WELL guess we getting some steps. We were greeted with a smile and guided to our seat right away.

    Foodie Alert! I got a chance to dine at the new Southern soul X Asian fusion restaurant Velouř located in downtown Dallas, TX. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt so welcomed! I was greeted with a warm smile from the beautiful hostess ( I wish I remembed her name) and the house manager gave me a quick tour of the restaurant while I waited for my friend to arrive. They have a really nice back room to host private parties. Drink: Expense For Honesty - Rate 5/5 Snacks/ Small Plates: Blistered Shishito peppers - Rate 5/5 Pepper & Crap dip - Rate 5/5 Charred Oysters - Rate 4/5 Roasted Crab Claws - Rate 4/5 Large Plates: Wagyu Flat Iron- Rate 3/5 (Chewy and under-seasoned) Seared Snapper - 3/5 ( bland, fishy but the Succatash was delicious) Velouř knocked it out of the park for customer service, it was A1 second to none. They paid very close attention to detail and made sure we received everything we needed. The drinks and appetizers were great overall. I do recommend that they have more of a buttery garlic sauce for the crab claws and that the oysters have just a little bit more seasoning. However, in regards to the main entrée, the Wagyu flat iron steak was very chewy and lacked seasoning and the snapper was bland and very fishy. I did LOVE the Succatash that the snapper was paired with. Of course there's always room for improvement but overall, I believe this restaurant is off to a good start with a few tweaks here and there it can become a Dallas staple. Rate - 4/5.

    I came here for a birthday dinner for a good friend of mine. It was a Sunday at 6:30pm and they had a brunch menu for the whole day. I arrived early and sat by front check in area. The ladies that work there were so sweet. Staff gave me good recommendations and we had some good conversations. I let them know that I wasn't drinking any alcohol and they were nice enough to speak to the bartender to make me a mocktail. When our group finally arrive and we were seated right away. Our waiter Carlton ( i think that's his name) was very patient and did a very good job for our group. Food came out and was hot and delicious. They do offer validation if you park in the parking garage.

    Good bar in a good location. The prices and portions for happy hour are good and the servers are nice. Would definitely come back to try the dinner menu!

    Everything previously still stands about my review. However, I will add the parking is extremely limited. I would recommend valet for this location! Also, Laron was a great bartender.

    Honey Buns
    Lu L.

    I'm only adding this review because I truly see the great potential this restaurant has. The ambiance and customer service was amazing but the food did not deliver. The fried chicken was severely overcooked, dry and had a burnt taste. Didn't have a lot of flavor. The French toast was burnt and eggs overcooked as well. Cooking way too fast. The grits were not good at all. Very milky and odd taste. The only thing we really enjoyed was the crab dip. The honey buns were good but could use a good light cream because of how dense they are. Also the champagne should be served much colder. I think if they had a really experienced fine dining chef, this restaurant could easily be a HIT.

    59th birthday dinner
    Vernette C.

    I can't speak to the food or the atmosphere at Velour--what I can speak to is the genuine, exceptional customer service. Around 8:00 p.m. on a Saturday night, I emailed the restaurant hoping to find a way to cover my best friend's dinner and drinks. I wasn't able to attend her 59th birthday celebration, but it was important to me that she still felt how loved and celebrated she is. The manager, Nae, went above and beyond to make that happen. Not only was my email answered promptly and enthusiastically, but the care and grace shown in handling my friend's questions about the items ordered at the table truly stood out. Everything was handled seamlessly and with such kindness. Because of Nae and the Velour team, my friend felt celebrated, and her birthday dinner became a truly memorable experience--one I was grateful to be a part of, even from afar. I will absolutely make it a point to visit Velour the next time I'm in the Dallas area. A heartfelt thank you and huge shout-out to Nae, the manager. You helped turn a simple gesture into a meaningful memory, and that speaks volumes about your heart for service.

    Great brunch with amazing service, highly recommend.

    Great food and service, highly recommend. Drinks were amazing probably the best happy hour and price within the area

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!

It's got that airy, high-ceiling energy that's perfect for getting work done without feeling like you're trapped in a cubicle. The Vibe: It's cool without trying too hard.

By day, it's a laptop paradise with lo-fi beats; by night, the lights dim, the music picks up, and the patio becomes the place to be--especially if you have a dog in tow. Happy Hour (3 PM - 7 PM Daily): This is the real draw. Their Espresso Martini is a local legend, but the Chocolate Espresso Martini is the move if you want something decadent. If you're there on a Tuesday, they run happy hour prices all night. Don't sleep on the $5 pimento grilled cheese--it's the ultimate "I'm not that hungry but I need a snack" food. The People: Expect a very "Lower Greenville" crowd: a mix of productive millennials, SMU students with headphones on, and groups of friends sharing s'mores kits (yes, you can roast them at your table). The staff is laid-back and friendly, though they definitely stay hustling during the weekend brunch rush.

Overall, with the number of brunch spots in Dallas I would reserve halcyon for study/coffee spot as opposed to a must try weekend brunch.

Unfortunately, the opposite happened--she brought the group out into the main dining room for photos, where the noise level became even more disruptive. Another couple seated near us--at what is typically a very desirable table--lasted no more than five minutes before asking to be moved outside. Shortly after, a manager approached the private room. We anticipated they would address the noise, but instead, they greeted the party warmly and thanked them for being there, without making any effort to manage the disruption. After so many consistently great experiences, it was honestly shocking. We truly felt as though we were being punked. My boyfriend and I both have children and enjoy bringing them to nice restaurants, but part of that experience includes ensuring they understand and respect the environment. When that standard isn't upheld--especially with no support from management--it significantly detracts from the experience for everyone else.
