We came here to celebrate a birthday with drinks and the staff was amazing even though we didn't order food. They even brought the birthday girl a dessert. I got their spicy hibiscus margarita which was so tasty, all of their drinks were good and our whole party was happy. We also tried their cold pressed juices. I got their beet juice to go and it was authentic and I truly got my money's worth. If you like seafood this is the place to go but they also have an extensive bar. I will be back.

Pork chop

I can't believe I used to walk right past this place! Now I'm wondering why I waited so long. We came for Galentine's Day dinner and it was absolutely phenomenal. The food was incredible. Portions are generous, so we split a few appetizers and shared a main, which ended up being perfect. Every single dish was thoughtful, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. One of my favorite parts (and this might sound funny) was the atmosphere. It was lively but not overwhelmingly loud like so many restaurants that morph into clubs as the night goes on. This felt like a true dining experience, a place that genuinely wants you to slow down, enjoy your food, connect with your people, and savor the moment. The service was equally impressive. We asked our server for recommendations and simply trusted her and she did not miss. Every suggestion was spot on. We ordered the pork chop as our main, fully expecting it to be a little dry (as pork chops often are), and it was anything but. It was tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best surprises of the night. I rarely order pork chops, and now I'm rethinking that decision. It's easy to see why this is a Michelin-recommended farm-to-table restaurant. From the food to the service to the ambiance, everything felt intentional and elevated. Already looking forward to coming back.

My husband and I debated between 3.5 and 4 stars for this restaurant. We loved the seasonal, fresh menu, but nothing totally blew us away. The restaurant itself is open, modern and very great vibe for a weekend dinner. Our server (Jojo I think?) was great. Gave us some great recommendations and overall was prompt with a great personality. To start the yellowfin crudo was delish! Had a fresh raspberry purée with great flavors. We also got the focaccia that was light and flavorful. My husband got the duck confit that was good. Warm, comforting with bold curry flavors. I got the glass noodles with salmon. The fish was great and the noodles had fresh vegetables and good miso flavors. The noodles were kind of hard to eat given the texture, but tasty. Again, all was good but for the price, it just didn't blow us away or leave us wanting more. Def worth the try!

Duck confit
Catrina L.

We came here last night and we had a fabulous time! At first the ambiance was busy which is a good sign, it means good food and I'd say that is accurate because the food was divine. Our waitress took good care of us. We did come in super hungry because we usually eat around 7ish and our reservation was at 8:30. Our waitress wanted us to know our entire order before putting anything in so it was a lot of pressure at first. We started off with the kimchi pancake and I didn't get to take a photo because I was starving we devoured it. Nevertheless, it has a good spice and nice texture. Then our main entrees came. Hubby got the duck confit which had a wonderful pairing of sweet coconut sticky rice with the spicy duck. The oven grilled grape sort of freaked him out a bit though Then I got the day boat scallop and it's one of the best scallops I've had to date. Scallops were perfectly cooked and had a sweet and savory flavor in itself, while the bacon added a wonderful savory flavor addition to it. I got so full so I ended up taking half of it home. Our waitress apologized for the food taking long so she treated us to a wonderful dessert. It was a merengue cookie with some fruits! It was so delicious and light! I would say Dallas really has some gems and this place is one of them!

The summer tonic. Very refreshing!
Stephanie W.

I really enjoyed written by the seasons! It wasn't my fanciest Michelin rec'd experience, but the vibes were very good. I was in town and made the reservation in the afternoon and did not have any issue (although I did have to call to make the res - the Resy website did not allow me to make a dinner res for 1 person at any time, they told me on the phone it is a glitch). When I arrived that evening the place was packed, it was very busy! The area itself is popular and fun, so that adds to the vibe. There is only street parking, no lots. I was there on a Friday evening, so the only spot I barely found was about 2.5 blocks away (I got it as someone was leaving luckily)! Plan accordingly~ I had a cocktail called their summer tonic and requested they make it a bit sweeter since it's a dry drink. It was perfect! And the bartender (I believe his name was Logan) was also great - very attentive and helpful with recs. For dinner I had the day boat scallops with risotto and veg ($48); a bit pricey but the plate had me full by the end so overall pretty good value. And as a last note, there are individual room bathrooms - they are very clean. Overall wasnt totally blown away by my experience, but found everything to be quite favorable. Would definitely come back for another drink or dessert any time :)

This place has been open for a couple of years now and had been on my list of places to visit FOREVER. Well, my friend decided to have her 40th birthday dinner here so I FINALLY got a chance to check it out. We had a reservation for 7 people on a Friday night. We were sat immediately on the outside patio. The place is so cute and small, and the location is everything (Bishop Arts). All the food and drinks we ordered were great. Our server was also amazing. My only complaint is that things took FOREVER to come out. To give you an example of timing and how backwards our orders were, we had two friends join us an hour after we sat down and their wine came out before our cocktails. Overall, I'd definitely go back because the food was too good. I wish I had more pictures but I was too busy eating.

Amazing restaurant, service was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive and accommodating for our 1.5 yr old. The only downside to this place is that it's not the most family friendly for little ones. When we got there we asked for a high chair but they said they only have one, which was in use by another party. At the time it didn't bother us too much since he was still asleep in his car seat but it made us feel very awkward. It was pouring rain and they mentioned they would have to run across the street to Paradiso to get a high chair from them since they apparently share resources. An interesting setup but it was slightly unprofessional to guilt trip us for wanting a perfectly reasonable accommodation that could be found at your nearest Chili's. I can't knock the food because it was delicious, from appetizers to dessert. Hopefully next time they'll have more than one high chair on standby!

This is my go-to for a rotating seasonal menu and quality meal in Dallas. The space is beautiful with indoor/outdoor seating and a small bar. The dishes are always tasty. The service is great. We went for our friendiversary and they made it so special for us. The wine was great.

We have been wanting to stop by here for quite a while and are glad we did. Parking is a little tough but that's just the area it's in. The restaurant was full but nice and tables were spaced so it didn't feel crowded. Our waitress, Ellie, was great. She was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Very very good! Our food was excellent as well! We got the focaccia bread starter, trout fritters, and pork belly small plate, and then the duck confit, and cod for our entrees. Everything was very tasty and we loved it all! We were stuffed after all that food but the table next to us had recommended the guava cheesecake so we ordered that and it was our favorite thing we ordered. Highly recommend! Our drinks looked cool and were very tasty as well! I would come back when the menu changes as it changes 4 times a year and would definitely recommend!

So my sorority sister and I went out for lunch. Still fairly new to the Dallas Area, she recommended Bishop Arts. After we found parking the original plan was " tacos" but all that changed when we saw this " Cute ,quaint, airy restaurant space. Our servers name was Samantha"Sam", she was very chill and since this was our first time trying the restaurant she explained the regular menu which is curated every couple of months as well as the happy hour menu. It was a long week we chose burgers and I'm grateful. They were so filling and fresh, the veggies were amazing and crisp, and don't even get me started in the salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing. Chefs kiss . All and all, please give them a try, it will be beyond worth it. Shout-out to Samantha for being amazing.

Cod
Ben B.

Came here on a whim as i just landed in Dallas. Found this place, came here at 9:15 on a 10pm close -- called ahead and was greeted with such incredible energy, i sped there! Got the simple salad and their cod -- blew me away. This place is absolutely fantastic Carly the bartender was super friendly and made herself available. I would run, not walk, back here. Cod was one of the best I've ever had

Burrata

The first day of their new summer menu and man it did not disappoint. Kris was our waitress - super professional, knowledgeable, and probably one of the best I've had.. at any restaurant. Cute and cozy neighborhood spot meets elevated and fresh cuisine. Will definitely be back

Mimosa with beet ginger juice
Jessica T.

What a refreshing meal! You can truly taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The salmon crudo was so bright, with the perfect balance of tart and spice. The chili-glazed pork belly was a little on the heavier side (to be expected) but paired well with the cucumber salad. I also got a mimosa with beet ginger juice ($10 during happy hour). I couldn't really taste the flavor of the juice, so would pass on this next time. Overall a beautiful restaurant and experience. The service was so attentive and kind. Well deserved Michelin bib!

The apps were the Aguachile which was the better of the two, and the other were the crab croquettes which were packed with crab but lacked in flavor. Of the entrees the blacked catfish was the better one. The only issue was the huge portion of mashed potatoes which were reminiscent of powered mash, but the catfish itself was outstanding. On the other side I've never had a lobster roll before but this genuinely has no flavor and has experienced some serious shrinkflation when compared to other pictures here on yelp of it. The fries were great though. The dessert also was nothing memorable and was a very basic bread pudding that could've been warmer. Overall, I was not impressed by Pesca as the reviews may have led me to believe, but it is still a solid place in trinity groves that deserves be more attention.

One quick tip for the minimalist eater: if you visit during weekend brunch, the kitchen pivots to a heavy, savory menu. You won't find simple pastries or basic toast options during these hours, as even their avocado toast is a massive, fully-loaded meal. Which is a miss for me. Regret we were so hungry I forgot to take pictures of the food! Overall, it's highly recommended for a lively atmosphere and top-tier craft lattes!

My fav drink of the night was my Match Mucho, never had anything like it, but it grew on me with each sip. These are not guzzling drinks, definitely sip and savor. I didn't like all of the drinks (couldn't get halfway through the Red Headed Oaxacan), but I like the variety and that my palate was challenged. Flavors of all the cocktails were complex with many layers. And the vibe of this place was adult, and low-key. Serious cocktail connoisseurs need to check this place out!

No. But what has us coming back is their consistency and attention to detail. The space is gorgeous and each room brings a different vibe to the dining experience. We were sat in the darkest of the rooms that was very romantic, and thankfully the music wasn't too loud. When we were seated we found a frame on the table holding a message congratulations us on our anniversary, with our names included. It was very sweet! Our server was prompt, attentive, and very charming. She asked us questions about ourselves and also gave great recommendations throughout the night. The drinks were good! However, the Passionate Kiss started to taste very chemical forward the longer it sat (I'm a slow drinker) so I only finished half of it. Not sure if it was because of the print on the foam originally or what, but it wasn't pleasant. I got the scallops and loved them, especially since I was able to try their orzo with it that normally comes with the salmon instead. The scallops were tender and the flavor was rich and well balanced with the rest of the plate. My boyfriend loved his chops and devoured everything. He also got the Potatoes Au Gratin and couldn't get enough. They were very rich and had great flavor. I had previously seen reviews from others saying the potatoes and other dishes were bland but that was not our experience. The rolls were one of the best parts.

I ordered the salmon cooked medium, but it arrived slightly overcooked. My husband requested a medium steak, but it came out medium rare in the center while somehow being medium well on the outside. The meatballs felt like they were missing something flavor-wise, though the calamari was good. The sides -- mac and cheese and loaded mashed potatoes -- were also a bit underwhelming.
