DTTN 2.0

Chef Kyle is the man! Went for a prefix dinner on a weeknight. One of the best lobster bisque I had in a long time, I could have had a few more cups :) The beefs were seared just right. And the fresh pasta was...fresh! The carbs, gratuitous! All the courses at great wine pairings. Can't wait to go back. Went back :)

It’s obvious the whole entire restaurant workers are trying to give you a different and maximum service experience no questions about that, however, the portions served were for two people, I had to divide it and served it my self and to my friend, couple of small portion cocktails drinks were served to sweet to my taste, while my friend requested a couple of white wine glasses, food was average. Overall the experience was good. NOTE: photos are in order from beginning to end.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is always incredible, the drinks never miss, and the service is truly top tier. It's our go-to spot — whether we’re dropping in for elevated snacks and cocktails or having a full meal with friends or business partners. The staff takes the time to genuinely get to know every guest, creating an experience that’s both flawless, meticulous, and unpretentious.

Wonderful meal and service - so glad we had the chance to check this place out while in the area. We loved the Oyster Msuhroom "Bacon" Tartine and the Peruvian Bay Scallop Crudo. The Smashed Cucumbers may not sound like much in the description but the melding of flavors was excellent and it is a nice balance to heavier dishes. Pick your poison on the cocktails - all were equally interesting. We usually skip dessert, but the Tropic Thunder sounded interesting and did not disappoint!

Great food, and a great time. We called ahead and they were completely booked for dinner, but we tried anyway. They did seat us on the patio, which is just ok for a patio, the people watching and heaters made up for the lack of atmosphere outside. We had the option of sitting in the lounge bar or outside so we choose outside. We were asked about any food allergies before we got seated so that was a nice gesture. All the servers were very attentive and we got our drinks and food fast. The food was very yummy and full of flavor. Our server was lovely and very knowledgeable about her drinks, our first time ordering a negroni. I highly recommend this place for all things DTSA!

First time here and what an amazing experience. The service was absolutely wonderful. Elizabeth was a delight. She checked on us regularly and made sure every dish came out to our liking. I'm not a huge fan of alcohol, but I do occasionally like a very light and refreshing libation. When I asked regarding drinks that would be low in alcohol and refreshing to the taste, she made sure to have the bartender whip up something close to what I was looking for. I ended up with a pineapple coconut passion fruit concoction with just the right amount of rum where I could feel it, but not taste it. Her level of attention immediately jump-started our evening on a high note and it only kept getting better. My husband and I ordered the Hokkaido milk bread and butter and it was heavenly. The bread was crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside, and a creamy taste. The butter accompanying the bread was rich and creamy and had a sweetness to it that complimented the creaminess of the bread. We then ordered the slow-roasted Japanese yam, which was beautiful in flavors and in plating. Yams are incredible on their own, but the brown butter soy lime emulsion had a sharp refreshing flavor that balanced out the heavy starchiness of the yams. The gai-lan were tender and salted perfectly and added a bit of crunch for texture. Beautiful. For entrees, my husband ordered the mozzazo rigatoni. The menu described it as "if cacio di pepe and carbonara had a baby," and let me tell you, that baby was absolutely divine. It's probably the best pasta I've had in years. The creamy pasta was bursting with flavors and spices that just worked amazing together. For my own entree, I ordered the wagyu skirt steak lomo soltado. Now, my husband and I frequent a few Peruvian restaurants. Detention's lomo soltado just blew every single other one we've tried out of the water. The wagyu was cooked perfectly medium and the level of heat was perfect. I enjoy spicy food, but I also like to enjoy my food, so I don't like the spiciness to affect the taste of my food. They got that balance just right for me. My husband and I got our own entrees, but we split them half and half and neither of us could decide which we liked better. They were both amazing but their flavors were so wildly different we just loved them for what they were. And then there was the sticky toffee pudding. Holy toffee-loving heck. I have not put something that delicious in my mouth since my MIL took me to Addison's for my birthday. My mind was blown. The pudding itself was not sweet at all allowing for the toffee sauce to shine without overpowering the sweetness. The whipped cream they served with it was salted. SALTED!! So you get a salty-sweet flavor when you top your bite with whipped cream. The way they balanced the flavors in this one dessert was absolutely genius. You have a dense, spiced cake with minimal sweetness, a beautiful toffee sauce full of delicious flavor, and a bit of saltiness to cut the sweetness when it gets too intense. Overall, the experience was perfect. Excellent service and the atmosphere was great! I'm so glad they do not crank their music up so you can't hear each other. That seems to be a trend, but the music here was loud enough to hear, but not to overpower conversations. This place really checked every single box for service, food, and atmosphere. We will definitely need to come back here again.

A review cannot do this place justice, you need to go and check it out for yourself. Went to the 2.0 experience last week and it was amazing. Unique, delicious bites. One of my favorite dishes was the dry-aged sea bass, who knew you could dry age fish?! Side dishes and drink pairings also on-point. Also, the bread. That bread. So fluffy and soft and fresh. Chef Jason obviously knows what he is doing. I can honestly say you are missing out if you don't visit. Trust.
