Stopped into The District in Midlothian after a long afternoon of house shopping with my husband…read moreand sister because nothing fuels real estate decisions like hunger, dreams and hope. The place was fully booked, but the hostess saved the day and offered us lounge seating on the sofas. Honestly, it felt a little VIP...like we'd accidentally wandered into the cool kids' corner. I halfway considered putting on my sunglasses indoors just to commit to the moment, maybe even asking if they offered bottle service in the lounge. Within 10 minutes we were settled in and already getting excellent service. And as if the vibe wasn't good enough, there was a one‑man show crooning jazzy tunes in the background. He was smooth, talented, and added just the right soundtrack for an early dinner. Think "speakeasy energy," but suburban‑friendly. Now, the food. My husband ordered the Crunchy Pig sandwich, my sister went for the half rack of ribs, and I claimed the smoked turkey BLT. Everything hit the table about 20 minutes later, hot, fresh, and so lip‑smacking tasty that we inhaled every bite before remembering we meant to take pictures. My apologies to the food‑photo purists; trust me, the plates were camera‑ready before we destroyed them. If you find yourself wandering around The District in Midlothian, do yourself a righteous favor and grab a memorable meal here. Great food, great service, great music, and apparently great sofas.

What a terrific place Salata is. We love salads and we loved this place…read more Pick your bowl size and you're off! It was our first time and the servers were fine with our inquiries and leisurely pace. In the end, I had a huge salad in a large bowl and was so happy that I got my lemon vinaigrette salad dressing on the side. I took half my salad home! The soft delicious sundried tomatoes were wonderful. There is a lot to choose from and you can overdo. There are over 50 items on the salad bar. I paid $4 extra for some very tender cubed pesto chicken but the fresh chopped bacon was free. Salata has the most amazing multigrain croissants and one is free with your salad. There are two soups on the menu for purchase, as if you would have room! They looked so good. Salata does have wraps though... My husband had a large salad and it was ridiculous looking too. I can see a salad of that size on the family table. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this place! Certainly a few rolls and some soup or falafel or salmon with your salad would make putting a quick dinner together a breeze. Everywhere I looked I saw quality ingredients. The manager was very helpful and would have some terrific ideas I'm sure. We're looking forward to going back.

Here's a polished version of your review:…read more Food Review I ordered the rigatoni special, which came with a generous portion of pasta, plenty of sausage, and two meatballs. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the sausage was surprisingly flavorful without being overly salty--a big plus since I'm usually sensitive to salty sausage. The garlic bread wasn't my favorite, as it was a bit too thick for my taste. My biggest issue with the dish was that there was simply too much sauce, and unfortunately, the fresh basil that was supposed to be included was missing from my plate. That said, the service was good, and the decor and overall atmosphere were very pleasant. Would I come back? If I'm really hungry and looking for something other than fast food, then yes. However, it probably wouldn't be my first choice when deciding where to dine. Overall, a decent meal with a few things that could be improved. 1/2 (3.5/5)

It was excellent. We ordered the shrimp with the brandy pink sauce which was what brought us back. The brandy pink sauce is really good and the shrimp are huge. The Cesar salad dressing is apparently made in house. Oksana made sure to go out of her way to make sure things went well this time. We went at an off time which I think made all the difference. We were the only ones there besides a lady at the bar. They could work on the ambiance a bit. I would the staff is professional. I don't know if that's because we had a bad experience the other day and thought we would complain again. Except for that and the chipped saucer things went well. I'm glad to know when to go. Definitely not when they're busy. But the shrimp are huge! We couldn't finish our food but gladly took it home. We will likely roll the dice again. We just know what to order when we go.

The marinara was could have been warmer, but good flavor. The fried mozzarella was good, served hot. Good flavor. Pizzas were well cooked, great toppings, very good crust. Great chew and crisp on the bottom from the oven. Generous toppings, large pizzas. The salmon was cooked correctly, fresh, and well seasoned. Too much olive oil on the salmon and veggies, but a good flavor. Grilled veggies were ok, just too much oil for my taste. Service was friendly and quick. Overall a great an experience.

One of two places it looks like to eat in Founders Row. Came with a group of 7. We stood around the bar height tables and had drinks for about an hour before finally sitting down. The bartender took great care of us despite the size of the group and ensured we had everything we needed. Once we sat down, the real magic happened. We ordered a few apps for the table, calamari, spinach and artichoke dip and alligator bites. I only had some of the artichoke dip and some of the complementary smoked salmon dip they brought out. Didn't want to be too full for the catfish plate I ordered. The artichoke dip was made with smoked Gouda and was great. The other apps got great comments from other people in the party. I ordered a fried catfish plate that came with grilled shrimp, coleslaw and fries. Catfish was cooked perfectly and the grilled shrimp were delicious, great seasoning. The coleslaw is made with cabbage, green bell pepper and apple cider vinegar. Really great combo that worked well. Service was great especially for our large party. Our server who was also the bartender because we sat in the bar area kept a fresh soda water in front of me the entire time, never had to ask. The manager/owner? even stopped over to check in on us a couple of times. Stop in for a great meal, I wish I could return to try the crawfish etoufee.

There's also an easy-going ambiance reminiscent of that Crescent City charm with a menu and service to match. We were delighted to see so much of the late David Wilson's cuisine on the menu from his Cedar Hill restaurant. His son Shawn has a jewel here and it was tough to decide on an entree. There are many enticing newer items. Special menu items included a Spinach Artichoke Dip, Steelhead Trout, and even Grouper! Our waiter, Tanner, was very kind and helpful. Eventually I ordered an old favorite, the Fried Seafood Platter with Fried shrimp, scallops, and catfish that came with a Remoulade, a sweet and spicy Cocktail Sauce and a delicious Tartar Sauce. Substitutions were not a problem and of the sides, I ordered the sautéed Spinach and a potato cake! My husband was easy. Wilson's Pot Roast was calling him. Cooked with Cajun seasoning and slow roasted, it's served with mashed potatoes, celery, carrots, fried onions and gravy. He also wanted some Jalapeño Hush Puppies. There was virtually no wait for our food or so it seemed. Our food arrived and it was terrific, first bite to last. Odd that I would enjoy a vegetable so much but the spinach was excellent and it disappeared. All of my Seafood was perfectly fried with even my shrimp tails edible - nice and tender and crunchy. The potato cake was also yummy. I haven't had one in some time. That thin fried shell with the creamy tasty interior ... My husband was over there seemingly playing in his fried onions and gravy. I had to laugh. And then try some. Ooooh. So good. He couldn't stop eating them. And the roast beef! Very tender and a huge portion. We were definitely impressed with our first outing. The restaurant is beautiful. A gorgeous bar takes up one side of room. There are tables with pews for seating, and others with a singular banquette on one side and chairs on the other. These tables can be moved. There are two unisex restrooms. Everything was very clean. The "Revival Tent" patio is equipped with fans and lighting and would be nice in almost any weather. There is ramped handicapped access in front. We're coming back soon. I was impressed with the environs, pricing, portions, quality and especially the service.
