District Dallas

Fun, new, cute, great foodie restaurant bar 🍸with super great cocktails. Loved the smoky tequila old fashion. Definitely recommend. We tried so many appetizers from the cheese plate to the lamb meatballs (score), Flatbread Margherita Pizza, and deviled eggs I heard were amazing, risotto ball and more. The decor is vibe-y (if that's a word). And, they have a patio. Service was well, friendly but inconsistent. It would be great, then disappear, good, then forgotten so that needs some work. Honestly, I almost gave a 3 overall because of this, but I am hoping this will be worked out with time. Really liked this new addition in Addison. Going again soon!

Really good restaurant with a couple stand out dishes. The duck purses pasta dish is a must get. The fries with truffle ailoi sauce was also very good. Also the whiskey based cocktails were also tasty. Will be back to try the other items.

The ambiance reminds me of a neighborhood restaurant in Europe (maybe it was just the semi-chill weather). Staff were great. The best part they stay open pretty late. We had the pretty in pink and whisky of the month. Both were decent. The Ahi tuna poke was okay. I think the dish would be netter had the rice been served hot rather than room temperature. Also, the Ahi didn't taste like Ahi. Honestly, I thought it tasted more like shrimp. I love the concept, but it wasn't executed properly. Fried chicken sliders. This was decent. Truffle fries. This was decent. Nothing jumps out as being amazing. Mushroom alfredo pizza. The crust was fantastic, but that was it. There was no flavor. I had to put on a bunch of salt to just get a taste of it. Deviled eggs. I love deviled eggs. I just not these. They were quite runny. I think this is a good place for a weekday meal, but if you are waiting for a special occasion, I would look elsewhere.

We discovered District Dallas thanks to SkyMiles Dining and Resy. Our reservation was honored onsite and we were promptly seated in a great location. The menu is very unique, with many offerings I have never heard of. The food was perfectly prepared and looked gorgeous. The space is very stylish and the bar is wonderful. This is an ideal place for date night or happy hour with friends, with a large and spacious patio and plenty of parking available. Prices are fairly high, especially for cocktails and drinks, but this is an upscale establishment so be prepared to spend a little more. The happy hour menu needs better food choices, most of the food we didn’t find very appealing. The rest of the fare was wonderful. We will definitely be back. The steak was fantastic and we believe the pizza will be as well. Definitely recommend trying this spot out.

I eat beef maybe once a year and had to get this burger because I saw someone else eating it. It was so delicious! The food is fantastic. The bartender came out and spoke to my husband about a drink he ordered, which made him feel appreciated for his knowledge of drinks. Great customer service and ambiance. Get the semifreddo!

I love this place! I can’t believe it’s been hiding under my nose this whole time! I like the tapas style setup and all the plates I tried were delicious! This was a great spot for girls night; can’t wait to return. ☺️

Nice comfortable atmosphere for a drink or dinner. We seated at their outdoor patio, which was nice on a relatively cool fall evening. The waitress was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about various dishes. Our favorite was the brussel sprouts with beacon bits and hazelnut, a perfect balance of acidity, saltiness and crunchiness.

We started off great with the Pakora. It was different and yummy. Definitely wanted more but there were other things to try. The short ribs and polenta... Tender, delicious and just a perfect combo. I could go on! I plan to be back for sure‼️

I had bookmarked District Dallas awhile ago and chose this for my birthday dinner because Eric R. suggested Addison was "central" for all of our friends to come. We reserved a table for 10 but one of our friends just got back from Vegas so his wife made him watch their children and joined us without him. We decided to go family style, and our server Nicole was amazing and made the experience perfect. I ordered a Bubble Trouble wine flight and got to have prosecco, sparkling rose, and champagne to celebrate my new decade of life. I did not get pictures of everything we ordered because we were a big group of hungry people, but here is what we tried: squash blossoms = stuffed with goat cheese and fried, very nice to have before the "season" later in the summer sushi rice "tots" = these were a big hit and at one point, more was ordered accompanied by the salt crusted shrimp BBQ yucca fries = we got these three different ways: plain, as poutine with short ribs and cheese, and with short ribs and no cheese lamb meatballs = turns out these had pork and beef too so I could not try them, but everyone who ate them liked them and said they had some sort of curry spice fontina and spinach arancini = gooey, cheesy risotto balls with peas, very tasty brussel sprouts = these had bacon so I did not eat them, but another one was ordered later so everyone enjoyed their preparation scallop crudo = I got this for myself and it was very refreshing with cucumber, serrano, and yuzu dressing Eric R. and I ordered a carrot cake to top it off, and it came with a lit candle and everyone sang to me! The cake was very tasty too (no raisins or pineapple, yay)! Everyone also enjoyed the cocktails they ordered, and the restaurant had arranged us in our own corner. I liked the decor with the airport and airplane designs. This is a really cool and fun place to share food and socialize. I had a great birthday celebration here!

I've been to District Dallas four times to date, and the service has always been exceptional with the exception of 1 of my 4 visits. During visit #4 on March 22, 2023, I was immediately seated, but sat at the table for 10 minutes before I was acknowledged. When the waitress finally showed her face, she approached me from behind and slammed 2 waters on the table (scaring the shit out of me) and walked away without saying a word. When she returned for my drink order, which was a glass of rose, it took an additional 10 minutes and another waiter had to bring it to the table. During the entire visit, I had to wait long periods of time for refills on my wine. In her defense, they had the poor girl working the inside and the outside patio an hour after I arrived, so she was truly swamped. I'm not going to allow my 4th visit to dictate my feelings about this place, because the other three visits were amazing.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the highest level of customer service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. Jacob Carlos, the manager, walked us through their newest menu additions, as well as his personal favorites and let us sample drafts and wines to ensure our experience was top tier. The dishes we ordered, for appetizer, whipped feta with stone fruit, and main courses of the hangar steak and salt crusted crispy shrimp were absolutely delicious. The appetizer was light but packed full of flavor. Both main courses had the perfect amount of spice and depth in flavor. We cannot wait to come back!

Really nice and open place, great service and some good choices for food and some small portions appetizers. Kristin behind the bar was very attentive and helpful. We tried the ceviche, fried yucca and half dozen oysters. Everything was great! We will return for sure.

District Dallas is a pretty good option for a laid back, low key meal in the middle of Addison. Although I just had my first visit here on Sunday for brunch, in my observations, District Dallas doesn't draw the same crowd as its neighbors, at least not at 2:15pm on Sunday at least. I came in and although there were a decent amount of diners, it seemed dead. The ambiance is really nice and sophisticated but the energy seemed very low when I came. Perhaps it was just that the staff really wanted to leave. I don't know. I sat at the bar and the bartender was nice but definitely made it no secret that he wanted me to get in and get out. I had the steak and eggs which wasn't bad, especially not for the price which was moderate. It was well prepared and the polenta and arugula salad that came with it were both really good. Next time I'll order something with more pizazz. I was somewhat rushed out when the bartender offered me a second mimosa while I was drinking the first one, and then brought the check when he brought the second mimosa to me. All of this occurred immediately after my food arrived. Because it was 3pm and that was their closing time, I understood and scarfed everything down. Considering all of this, you can imagine my hard eye roll when a couple wandered into the restaurant and sat at the bar right as I was getting up to leave a little after 3. Mind you every party that was there when I arrived was still there, so why was I the one to be made to feel rushed?!

Love this place! Cozy urban vibe inside and delicious drinks! We tried the espresso martini and it's amazing. We also tried their old fashioned with Rye whiskey and it did not disappoint. Both were absolutely phenomenal. Service was great. Highly recommend.

While most of our coworkers decided to head to the usual happy hour spot nearby, my team and I were intrigued by this new spot and the vast menu of carefully selected global cuisine offerings. District blew us away with how attentive and eager they were about the menu and pairings. They also did an impeccable job with the interior and decor, both the patio and inside furnishings. We ordered the arancini twice, too good! Everything we tried blew us away and we were too satisfied to try other dishes. Will definitely be back and also bring friends and family here to dip into a little bit of everything! The drinks were also just as described and the ambiance is perfect for all types of occasions. Forgot to mention even the chef (dressed as a chef, maybe a partner), came by to ensure we were okay and satisfied. Finally a tapas style place in Addison!

This was my first time coming to District and it was such a great Friday evening vibe. I remember seeing it before it opened and I'm glad I went! Located in the heart of Addison (next door to Stirr) gives you a chance to have a low key Friday HH vibe and enjoy other venues. It has a very open concept with garage doors that can be let up. They were down when we went due to the incoming rain forecasted. For a Friday evening at 6, it wasn't too packed. I'm not sure if it's because people aren't hip to it yet or not but we were able to sit immediately. Once we sat our service began immediately, which I appreciated. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu when we asked her what her favorites were. She didn't hesitate on giving her opinion and was very detailed. This helped us first timers tremendously! Some of the food was tapa style so small portions were available. We settled on the truffle fries, Margherita pizza (chefs kiss) and pepperoni/sausage pizza. I don't eat pork but was told the meat pizza was great. The fries were cooked to perfection and had a truffle dipping sauce that has us weak! The Margherita pizza has fresh ingredients that were tasty! They drink menu had of course signature cocktails and wines to choose from. The ambiance was so great and the location was perfect. The bar has tvs available if you just want to go grab a drink and watch the game. The decor was so Dallas cute! Our experience was great. It's such a cute spot and honestly gives a nice variety. It's easy to go grab smile bites that are shareable. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a great social evening/night out!

I love this place! I can't believe it's been hiding under my nose this whole time! I like the tapas style setup and all the plates I tried were delicious! This was a great spot for girls night; can't wait to return.

Offers non-alcoholic spirits that were delicious and bartender was very attentive. Inside is cute and very spacious!

Our group came on a Saturday night, and there was live music. We ordered the deviled eggs, poke, lamb meatballs, duck dumplings, oysters, Brussel sprouts, salad, steak, and fries to share. The deviled eggs and oysters were average, but everything was fresh and the other dishes above average. Service was a little slow, but it was pretty busy. The food and ambience was overall good, so I'll be back next time I'm in the mood for tapas!

We finally made it to the District for brunch on a recommendation from a friend who I hold in high regard and I know has good taste. This restaurant is located in the Village on the Parkway and pretty easy to find. There used to be wine bistro in this location. We are a party of six who gather about 1 or 2 times a month for brunch around the city as a away to stay in touch and enjoy a reasonable good price experience. 1. The chicken and waffles were a Hugh hit with our group. Everyone said they would order again. The chicken was crispy and tender at the same time. The waffles were sweet and very good to eat. 2. The other brunch dishes were good too. 3. The star of the show was the cinnamon bun. It was really large ( we cut it up as an appetizer) and tasty 4. The mimosas and Bloody Mary's are worth a repeat visit. 5. The ambiance was bright and casual and very pleasant. I am sure you will enjoy it. If you are looking for a brunch spot , check out The District.

Where do I begin? I had a reservation thankfully but they were hesitant to seat me without my friend there. They do have happy hour until 6:00 which is good. We tried the pakoras which were tasty. The arancini was also good, the cheese and spinach mix was unique. We shared the pizza which was also good. The reason for only 1 star was the service. Our waitress hardly checked on us. We paid the tab but they were rushing us to get out. It was bizarre. They even took our water cups away when we were still drinking water. They weren't even to full capacity so not sure why they were rushing for our table. It didn't feel right at all, hence the number of stars for the review. For customers who are paying to be at your establishment, don't rush us. How rude.

This is a great place for those like me who want to try a lot of different dishes with friends. I got the pretty in pink cocktail, which is very refreshing and good for those who like grapefruit, which I do. We started with the squash blossoms, which are excellent! It sounds strange, but do try them. We tried the deviled eggs, the lamb meatballs, the mole corn, the Korean BBQ pork belly,the cevice mixto, and the pruiscutto pizza, which were also good. Another standout was the pakoras. We finished with the s'mores dessert, which is absolutely worth saving some space for. Our waitress was very pleasant and fun, and the food came out at a good pace. Overall, this was a lovely experience. Watch the bill, the little things add up quickly, but make sure to savor every bite. That's what makes tapas menus so much fun.

First time visiting tonight... service started out a little slow.. for whatever reason our server had a majority of the tables that sat 4+ people and we noticed another server only had tables that were 2 tops... needless to say our server was a little overwhelmed to begin but we stayed patient as we recognized quickly she had a majority of the larger groups. She ended up being a fantastic server, very attentive, and made great menu suggestions! So a lot of the items are tapa style (which means sharing). But the proportions are so good! We all ordered cocktails, deviled eggs, goat cheese dip, prosciutto pizza, chicken sliders, Wagyu sliders, and the burger. The drinks were very tasty, definitely could stay here for hours trying all the different cocktails! Omg the pizza was amazingggg!!! The sauce was so delicious, the arugula was tossed in something and then salt and pepper, I could have ate the entire pizza to myself, I didn't want to share with anyone. The deviled eggs were good, I wish it was chopped relish and not just 1 slice of a pickled something. The goat cheese dip was delicious! So thankful the server told us about it as it is not on the menu yet. The burger was good, lots of flavors going on. The chicken sliders, holy crap that Fresno Chile slaw was scrumdiddilyumptious!!!!!!!! The.WAGYU.sliders.... HOLY FREAKING BATMAN THAT WAS A PARTY IN MY MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!! Like oh my word, the server told us it was her dads favorite menu item and it did not disappoint!!! We will be coming back here for sureeeee!

District was a great atmosphere, I came for a work event & we all really enjoyed it! Lots of small bites to share, but we liked everything we tried too. Service was great!

I love this place. This is the second time we've been, and we have loved most of the dishes we've tried. Favorites: Crispy squash blossoms Cubano sandwich Mussels (the sauce on this is to die for, order extra bread to sop it up) Also good: Beggars purses (duck dumplings) Arancini Skip it: Deviled eggs Next time we'll try a pizza and the short ribs, but I'll never not order the mussels. Drinks and service are good too. Fun date night.

What a great new place! The service was spot on and very friendly. Very knowledgeable with everything on the menu and a craft cocktail style bar, so they can make anything you'd like! Food was great as well! Truffle fries were awesome with the aioli, the mole corn was so good dipped in the sauce it came with, and the Duck purses were hands down the best. The pasta is locally made as well!

From start to finish my experience at this beautiful restaurant was quite tasty! Thank you San Francisco for bringing District our way! I ended up finding this spot searching for new eateries around Addison and there was a sweet article online about this place. So, I did a bit of research. I honestly did not think anything would top Mercy who was in this space for a very long time. Well, District is just as cozy...and oh so delicious. Not only do they offer specialty libations their food is creatively cultivated and you can tell it is made with love. Myself and a friend grabbed a seat at the bar on a Saturday evening. The servers were friendly and kept checking on us. We got some vino then starters to share. The goat cheese "queso" is NOT to be missed. So much goodness in there with housemade focaccia on the side for dipping. It was plenty for me and my friend and between the two of us we gobbled that down and still had some left. The sundried tomatoes were a nice touch and blended well with ALL that cheese. Up next were the crispy sushi rice tots. I was not sure if I would like this one but ended up pleasantly surprised. It's craveable enough to want to come back for more. Aside from that they have a good variety of dishes that were unique and stand out from the other restaurants in the area. And brunch! That will be next on my hit list. This is hands down a place I will be returning to because it was a chill vibe inside and not so "Dallas pretentious". Thank you District for a yummy evening!

Measure the soul of a restaurant by the desserts and this soul is on FIRE!! This restaurant has elegant seating and a lovely bar in the center. The servers are wonderful with their suggestions and jokes. We highly recommend the carrot cake and ambiance!

Great place for cocktails and small plates. We enjoyed falafel, lamm meatballs anVery trendy and the wait staff was excellent.

I love Addison because they have the cutest places for date nights and girls night out. The district is definitely one of those spots. They have great drink options and lots of shareable options. We got cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, and goat cheese fondue. It was all really delicious! I ordered " my lil friend ". Great drink option with strong flavors. Will definitely go back for more.

I went here with a friend for dinner. I tried a red wine and the Purple Reign; both were good. The queso and the brussel sprouts were good and I would order them again. The mushroom pizza significantly lacked flavor and seasoning and I would not recommend ordering it.

So, flashback to Oakland... for 5+ years I could be found at District Oakland a couple of nights a week as it an easy walk from my home-tel room at the Marriott. Was my favorite spot. Great wine list. Great whiskey list. Great food. Great vibe. I'll admit I was skeptical when I saw they had expanded to Texas in Addison District Dallas. Well, it did not disappoint! Decor and vibe very similar... just Texas'd a lil'. Wine & whiskey list easily stands in it own. Menu has all of my favs from 'back when'; a board that is plentiful and priced great. The truffle fries... ooooh, the truffle fries! The seasonal treat of goat cheese stuffed tempura squash blossoms. WOW! Literally and easily top 2 or 3 I've ever had ever... AND, the only reason you really need to hit this place is the S'Mores Pots d' crème.

Hosted two happy hour events here in the past 3 months and I can't say enough good things about the nice wine selection, tasty small plates and excellent service. District has become my friend group's favorite spot! If you're looking for a cozy wine bar with delectable bites and an attentive and knowledgeable wait staff, this is the place!

My first of many visits to come, my hostess Emily took great care of me. I ordered from the brunch options smash burger, deviled eggs and bloody Mary enjoyed it all....

The food was great and service was on point. The craft cocktails were creative. Definitely a place I will come back to in the future.

I came here for happy hour and it was a super great experience. I came right when the doors opened and everyone was super nice! I got one drink and shared this duck appetizer with my cousin. The duck was sooooo amazing! I deff will return for these and to try more items on the menu!

my 2nd visit and it's absolutely lovely. Great energy for a Sunday brunch or mid week happy hour. My first visit had a charcuterie board and everything felt hand chosen and delicious. My second visit I was craving the mussels. Ordered Spicy Thai to be exact. Left me say they were plump delicious and I almost ate the whole bowl. BUT please don't call them spicy Thai mussels. No spec of lemongrass or ginger flavor. And zero spicy. Just call them garlic white wine mussels. Or give your customer the opportunity to increase the Thai spice 1-5 Will I go back. YES. Will I order them again. Probably not. Cocktails are great would give a 3.5 star if I could. My bartender Michael was lovely

First time here, and I would definitely return! This is a great tapas bar right here in North Dallas. They have a great selection of whiskeys Bourbons scotches and make some fantastic drinks. Our waitress Daisy was top-notch and on top of everything. She made some great recommendations and she was not wrong. The food was fantastic. It came out super quick. It was a beautiful night sitting outside.

3.5 service was a little slow, but our waitress was new. Let me talk about this drink! I'm usually not a gin drinker, but when I tell the Briar Patch was goodt! It was goodt! I had 3. Again judge ya momma. We ordered deviled eggs which took forever to come out, and they were just ok. They were so late honestly I felt like they should not have charged us for them, but whatever. We had the goat cheese queso which of course was flavorful. We also got the arancini at the suggestion on our waitress, Emily. Don't do it. They are flavorless. We got the beggar's purse and the duck was phenomenal! They really need to find something else to do with the duck because it was seasoned to perfection. I got the Texas pork belly sliders, and they were really tasty as well. At 9 they had live music which was like top 40 across the decades. I'd go back for sure. Surprisingly, they weren't busy for a Saturday night. Our reservation was at 7:45. I think this is a great spot for a date or girl's night since everything is shareable.

First time here tonight. They've been open about 10 weeks now. Our server was John who did a great job. Tuesday night so it wasn't packed full but I'm betting there were only 2 tables that were empty and a few seats at the bar. So they're off to a good start. We had the deviled eggs and the Arancini for appetizers and they were both excellent and something we would order again. My wife had the burger and I had the Cuban sandwich. Both were excellent, again. Great glass of Whisky for me and my wife loved her cocktail. Not as expensive as I expected and overall a great night out. Absolutely no issues at all, they've got this down. You'd never know they had only been open 10 weeks. Service was great and we never had to wait for anything. Adding District to our normal rotation for sure!

Great experience. Made reservations for a party of 8 around 5pm and our table was ready on arrival. Our server was really helpful and recommended some food and drinks as it was my first time! Everything was delicious! Tried the Yuca Fries, one of the steak dishes, the Brussel sprouts. My friend tried the sushi tots and really liked them. The dining room was quaint and perfect for a small get together! The lounge area consists of sofa's that make a small section which looked really nice. Def want to try again and would recommend!

Our experience here was great! Good food, drinks, & service. Definitely tapas style, and has a good variety.

Looks like they probably make a great cocktail, but I went for lunch. The server was very knowledgeable, but the food was only okay. Server highly recommended the fried chicken sliders, but they were refried( who does that?). The El Cubano felt like it could have been fresher. The Lemon dessert was good, but still frozen in the middle. I'll wait a while and give it another try. Pretty place but not very many people there and it was lunch on Friday. Good luck to them!

wonderful cocktails and wine list. The menu has lots of original dishes and we can't wait to come back and try more.

I stopped by here for a friends birthday and they succeeded my expectations to say the least. We did reservations for 6:45pm on a Tuesday. Plenty of parking (either outside the building or in the parking garage). Our waitress was a doll, I hate I didn't get her name. It's a order to share type of restaurant, so whatever you get there's probably enough to share. I ordered their "lil friend" cocktail, the pan seared shrimp, the brussel sprouts and the poutine fries. When I say NOTHING disappointed.. I mean nothing. It's a nice refresher for a restaurant to focus on the food more than the ambiance. It's still cute in here, low lights, social seating places, a patio and a nice wine list. Highly recommend.

Great food...Ahi Tuna Poke was amazing. Calabrian Prosciutto pizza was excellent...great place for a date

Great place, the menu is creative and fun as well as a genuinely great value. Has a great atmosphere and I highly recommend. The whiskey and wine list is absolutely stellar and priced magnificently, don't skip out on paying it a visit.

Nice vibe and service. Food is a bit uneven. Most tasted great, a couple of misses (duck purses was one). Overall, it's a great place to hang out, eat and drink. I particularly enjoyed the open air restaurant when the weather is nice.

Came her for dinner with some friends on a Sat nite. I did make reservations which turned out to ge a good idea since there was a huge party that came later. The food was really good, but the drinks were really disappointing. I feel that there is alot of potential with the drink menu and hopefully will be better the next time.

The mussels were great! The service and amount of flies were absolutely horrible however. BEWARE IF DINING WHILE BLACK! Our server Angel was great and did her best accommodating our large party however her manager was hovering the table constantly and super unprofessional when speaking with us. At one point we were still receiving food orders while also being told we needed to finish up for another upcoming reservation. The way the manager acted was if a table full of young black professionals didn't belong there. I'll gladly spend my black dollars elsewhere. There are plenty of better options at Village on the Parkway where the service, ambiance and food check all the boxes.. I will NOT be back.

The waitress with the tattoos was absolutely the rudest person we have been served by, BEWARE IF DINING AS A BLACK PERSON... the food was good though I guess..

Good food, nice service if u could flag them down. Hard to get attention of staff. Hanger steak rocked but no flavor on salad. We would've ordered more, but it was really difficult to get the attention of the staff, finally got food and not the next round of drinks, because we were asked to leave since they were closing.

Nice selection of whiskeys and wines. Simple but very tasty menu items. I recommend the El Cubano sandwich.

I'm being generous with the two stars. The ambiance was great, but it stops from there. Wanted to try a new spot, but I'll never return. Sorry, not sorry. Their ceviche was bland. Had to return it. Their pork belly was good, but the portion was really small for the cost. And their hanger steak was over salted with the greens that it came with, also overly salted. I feel bad for the server because she obviously had too many tables to manage. So the service sucked too. West coast company claiming to making their mark on east coast state. We're in Texas btw. Midwest. That's all folks. Dine at your own risk.

Lots of appetizer choices on the HH menu, but the reason we come is for the half price oysters. Last night though, we were sadly disappointed with the tiniest oysters I've ever seen. I'm really surprised they were even served. Service was good and we even got the HH price on our wine despite it being 3 minutes after 6:00. Maybe it was an off night...

Went last night and overall was a really good experience. The service was a bit slow but quality and taste of food was really good. We went with another couple and did a bunch of their small plates family style. From Lamb Meatballs, the Duck, and Mussels it was all very tasty. My only complaint being a bourbon fanatic is half the bourbons I requested were out so had to settle for more of the common ones.

Atmosphere, staff, and vibe were all great! Most importantly the food was exceptional! Highly recommend the little duck pasta purses!
