Swank - A Neighborhood Restaurant

I must say how pleasantly surprised I was at the experience that I, along with my friends, had dining here for the first time! Their attention to detail, their effort to make people feel comfortable, and the ambiance was really top notch. We were warmly greeted by the staff, and our server was attentive to our needs throughout the evening. And now the food! Each entree we got was FABULOUS! Hot. Made to order. Delicious. When I ate each item, I could tell that it was actually a chef that had curated the menu. The flavor profile, the unique combinations, the fresh ideas... I could tell that the offerings were well thought through. I even said to my friends, "I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they win a James Beard award". Definitely a great place for vibes with a date, or a place to take yourself out to in order to treat yourself. Soundtrack was great to dine to as well.

What can I say—this place is truly a charming hidden gem! From the moment my sister and I walked in, we were warmly greeted by our waiter and quickly seated. We couldn’t decide on just one thing, so we ordered a little bit of everything—and it was so worth it. To start, the appetizers were absolutely delicious and left us wanting more. We had the Mom’s Italian Egg Roll, Spinach Artichoke Dip, and the Focaccia with Beef Tallow. Every bite was flavorful and perfectly prepared—so much so that we ended up ordering another round! The chef even came out to greet us, which made the experience even more special. He was kind, knowledgeable, and offered drink recommendations that paired perfectly with our meal. For our entrees, we had the Lasagna, Braised Short Ribs with Parmesan Cream, and the Alaskan Halibut. I kid you not—I died and went to heaven with every bite. Each dish was rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. And even though we were stuffed, we couldn’t resist dessert. It was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal. We didn’t want to leave—and honestly, we can’t wait to come back. Check out the pictures for reference… trust me, this spot is worth every bite!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This Italian gem—ranked number three in Dallas—is easily a contender for one of the best Italian restaurants in the entire country. From the moment we walked in, it felt like being welcomed into a family's home. The warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care from the staff made it clear that family values aren’t just a motto here—they’re a way of life. The food? Absolutely exceptional. Every dish felt like it came straight from Nonna’s kitchen, with rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and that unmistakable homemade touch. The pasta was perfection, the wine pairing was thoughtful, and don’t even get me started on the tiramisu—it was divine. This place doesn’t just serve food, it serves an experience. Dallas is lucky to have it, but it truly belongs on a national stage. Can’t wait to go back.

This place is owned and run by two of the sweetest and most hard-working people in the industry. Their food, vibe and commitment to a stellar customer experience is a direct reflection of this wonderful energy. Their food is always fabulous, their smiles always infectious, and their restaurant has such a wonderful neighborhood vibe. Upscale yet incredibly approachable. Always a hit. I'm a sucker for braised short ribs so that's long been one of my favorite items, but you could seriously blindfold yourself and point to something on the menu and if you like what's in it, you'll love the dish, no question. Also, this last time they had the most luscious banana pudding I've ever had on this planet or the next. It was a combination of cookie butter, banana pudding, Biscotti, and it was absolutely SENSATIONAL. When Chef Luke and Geni welcome you into their restaurant as a guest, it feels more like they're inviting you into their home than their restaurant. First-class treatment for every guest who walks through the door from the time you enter until the time you leave. Love this place, love these people.

This is one of my very favorite restaurants in Dallas! Hosted my daughter’s 23rd birthday here last night and everything about it was perfect! Every cocktail, every appetizer and the vibe was fabulous! Most delicious food, attention to detail and the girls had so much fun sitting in the outdoor patio area. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I cannot recommend this place enough. It's awesome! We've been here at least 4-5 times and every time is just beyond amazing. The food is just so good. we also love that the menu changes throughout the seasons so it gives you new exciting things to try. Everything we’ve had here has just been absolutely outstanding and of course Luke the Chef and owner is so talented and the reason why it’s so good. His staff are absolutely amazing and they take great care of you throughout the service. It’s located in it’s really quaint area that is very, very relaxing and comfortable. Great for family events, friends get together’s and couple date night. It’s just a great place. I think this last trip my favorite was the Parmesan Risotto. It was so good. I ordered some to take home. I also highly recommend the short ribs with the Parmesan, the beet salad when it’s in season is absolutely amazing and of course the Italian eggrolls are a must try. Parking There is a good size parking lot that's free. Makes it very convenient to get to. Don't miss this hidden gem in Dallas.

We decided to go to Swank-A Neighborhood Restaurant. It was a good experience. The ambiance was nice, dark, cozy, and intimate. It was a little hot to me. However, it wasn't unbearable. The chef greeted each and every one of the guests and made sure everything was okay and if we were happy with our selections. The drinks were really strong and tasty. You definitely get your monies worth and will be tipsy from one. The food was absolutely amazing. we started our with Focaccia & Beef Tallow Candle. This was really unique. The sauce was good, and when the candle burned down, it was even better. The Chicken Piccata was on a bed of creamy parmesan risotto and caper lemon sauce. The risotto was creamy and sooooo good. The chicken was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The capers didn't overpower the dish it was well balanced. Braised Short-Ribs laid on top of parmesan cream sauce and homemade pappardelle. It was really creamy and seasoned with love, lol I give the food a 10 out of 10. I will definitely be going back.

Been here a couple of times now and have to say it’s becoming a favorite. The first time we visited for dinner and dined inside. The vibe is nice but the seating felt crowded and the chair was not comfortable. It felt as if they just tried to fit as many tables as possible. However the service and the food were great. The _Aperol spritz was deliciously refreshing. This last time we invited some friends to come joint and sat outside - we did have to wait quiet some time to get service but eventually after bringing it to someone’s attention we were served - the weather was perfect 👌 the sitting was way more comfortable and spacious and the lighting made it perfect. We tried the - scallops - chicken piccata - salad - sea bass Will be returning here and definitely recommend this place.

The warmth in the way we were greeted as we walked in immediately set the tone of our date night. The decor is fun, artsy, and intimate- and all of that before we even cracked open the menu. Every bite was amazing, every sip was incredible. I can't even decide on a favorite dish- the entire meal was just divine. We were already discussing what to get next time we come before we'd ever left the table! And the chef, Luke, came over to chat and was so so kind. Cannot WAIT to come back again soon and try more- I don't think you can go wrong here!!!

If you're looking for high quality cafe that offers gourmet burgers, salads, and carefully made deserts, this is a good place for Brunch and lunch. The freshly made dishes are presented with sophistication that matches the ambience. The cafe decor is eclectic with modern artwork. If you get a chance to order the creme brûlée, please do so. I also recommend trying the diverse wine selection; offering South American to Texas wines. Particularly, the white wines do pair well with their dishes. The service was warm, attentive, and sensitive in making sure you're satisfied from start to finish. I would recommend this place to others. Donald S.

This is great spot for a night out around the Bishop Arts District. Excellent food and service during my last two visits. I recommend the brussel sprouts as a starter. As they are the best I've had in several months. They are finished with light seasoning and parmesan cheese slight crunch minus the oily finish. The bar is stocked with top shelf alcohol and they make great cocktails. The beer selection is on point with several local breweries. I've been spying on this place to make sure it's date night worthy for my girlfriend. It is we will be having dinner there next week.

Location Just off Beckley-southwest Dallas-great location. Parking Large private lot Atmosphere Casual but classy. Large porch and inside cozy. Nice decor-fireplace on the tv above the bar. Seating Porch, bar, tables. Great fir groups. Service Chef Nick and Genilys ( hope I spelled it right) are AMAZING!! Attentive-remember our favs-informative menu recommendations. Menu Best happy hour in Dallas! Wine selection. The cheeses, meats on charcuterie board vary-love it! The bread on the board is thinly sliced and toasted- tasting of butter and garlic. So good. Best mussels in town. We are weekly guests and are never disappointed. Summary Convenient location. Large parking lot, superb service, great food! Love this place!

Nice way to start the day. We did brunch today. I had the chilaquiles. Very flavorful and perfect balance of texture. I can't wait to try more. Service is so welcoming. Ambiance goes without saying. They have coolest events. Mystery dinners etc.

Intimate restaurant with amazing customer service and outstanding food!! We were greeted with smiles and everyone was so kind a personable. The food was sooooo good! I'm not sure I can really articulate how good it was - but you can tell that Chef Luke's passion for cooking comes through in the dishes he serves. The braised short rib pasta was *chef's kiss*. Handmade pasta, perfectly al dente and the short rib was melt-in-your-mouth! The lamb chops (which, btw, I wouldn't normally eat) were damn good! And the vegetables served with the lamb were flavorful, too! Chef & his wife are the owners and extremely personable. They both visited our table to check on us and chat, which was so nice! I would definitely come back here and you should put this restaurant on your short list of must try places!

Based on the earlier reviews, we decided to have dinner here for our anniversary. The food was so good and exceeded expectations. The hostess and bartender are so nice and attentive to all their customers. Thank you, Swank, for a wonderful dinner. A

6/10 DRINKS: This place is beer and wine only! Calling themselves a wine bar, their wine selection was subpar and the menu wasn't up to date. There was one bottle marked by the glass, but was bottle only. Another bottle had been phased out and replaced with something new. If you don't find something you like, you can't switch to a cocktail. FOOD: impeccable! I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The steak was one of the better ones I've had in a while. The corn essence potatoes were so good. Think a very creamy polenta. The pork shop is Rosemary HEAVY! I didn't mind because I like rosemary, but if you don't...order something else. SERVICE: service was good while we were eating. But once we paid, they didn't come back around. We sat for another 20 minutes after dinner, talking. No one came to refill waters. I know we were done spending money, but it's not like they were going to reseat our table. They could have given us water.

The noodles were to die for. Made from scratch, I had a hiccup on salmon but it's on me I want it more cooked. Got sent back and came back hecka salty and super crispy. Friend got the beef noodle dish forgot name but she said it was too rich for her. Overall it was good. The staff was 5 stars no complaints on hospitality.

This is a repost. I deleted my first one after the owner located my facebook page and sent me screenshots he took of my personal page/family and sent them to me along with more that 10 hateful messages. Had dinner here with my husband and son. Hubby had sea bass with risotto he felt the proportion was small for the price. My son had the pasta and enjoyed it. I had the short rib and it was okay. Orange cannoli was not for us. One bad review never hurt a business as this an opinion platform but harassing a person for their opinion is not good business.

I've had this restaurant saved for a while and finally got the chance to try them. Hubby and I went on a Tuesday evening for dinner. Cute house feel with a little romance thrown in. I ordered the Hilo chicken with bok choy, pickled cabbage and gochujang fried rice. My husband got the apricot stuffed pork chop which came with green beans. The food was SO good! The flavors were so well put together, it was ridiculous. Perfect serving size. Just enough to leave you wanting more simply because it was so very good. The Holi chicken had a sweet honey chili sauce that was amazing. Put that with the perfectly pickled cabbage & spicy rice and I was in food heaven. Just look at my before and after pictures. My husband let me taste his pork chop and it was also VERY good. For dessert, we split a piece of the "counter cake". I will forever be thankful that the flavor for that night was strawberry and champagne cake. This may have been the best cake I've ever had in my life. I've been married over 20 years but would get married again just to have that as my wedding cake. I'll just have the restaurant cater the entire thing. I promise you I was thinking about that wonderful dinner and dessert all week after that night. We will definitely be back! Service was excellent and the food was amazing. I plan to literally make my way down all the entrees because....why not?

This was a good meal. The salad was fresh and the service was good. We enjoyed the salad and the salmon was cooked perfectly. We will be back to try more of the menu. Parking is limited but there are some places.

I have had a "places to try" list for Dallas and this was on it, my husband and I made it in on a Monday evening and were so pleasantly surprised! The menu wasn't too large, but within the options there were multiple things we wanted to try! We ended up with the garlic knots, duck tostada, the pasta of the day (a lobster tail in a garlic sauce) and the butchers cut of meat. Everything was so yummy! We mostly just couldn't believe it has taken us so long to come. If we lived in Oak Cliff we could definitely see how this could be a neighborhood spot! the chef came out and greeted tables which I thought was super sweet! We plan to come back as their menu changes and there is more to try! Also the brunch menu looks fun too!

Good food, omg, food was terrific, and the service was excellent; they packed our food up for us. I will be back

I highly recommend you come and visit Beckley if you in the bishop arts area. The service is exceptional and the chef driven food is very tasty. For starters they have this garlic knot bread with a beef tallow dipping sauce that is phenomenal. I also opted for the trio of tar tars: beef, tuna and shrimp. The beef and ahí Tuna were my favorites and the beef was the best of all 3, if u ask me. For seconds I had their version of a Cobb salad. I asked them to add Gorgonzola as I prefer my Cobb with blue cheese crumbles. The salad was good. It's made with smoked turkey, which tasted wonderful. The only downside was the homemade ranch dressing. I got more of a mayo taste vs the dill and herbs you normally get from ranch dressing that really took away from the dish. For my entree I had the garlic shrimp Agnolotti which is similar to ravioli. The shrimp were perfectly seared and that garlic butter made em melt in your mouth. Desert was the lemon cake. OMG just get the cake!!!

This place was AMAZING!! Definitely the best pasta I have ever had! I recommend the scallop pasta. It had so much flavor. The tomatoes in it made it pop and added acid to it so the cheese wasn't too strong. The spinach and artichoke dip could have had more flavor but was still good! My husband got the salmon pasta which had a more red sauce flavor. He enjoyed his meal as well. We are definitely coming back here!

The food is excellent. Service is phenomenal. There is a lovely diverse menu. The atmosphere is cozy. You can tell the owners put their heart and soul into providing customer's a quality culinary experience. They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. I can't wait to come back and try more things.

Went to Beckley 1115 on Friday evening, prior to attending a concert. First, service: excellent. We were greeted and seated very promptly. I explained to our server that we were on a tight timeline, and she was great. The food was outstanding. I had lamb chops. They were delicious. Others had braised beef, muscles, and short-rib. All of the food was very good. The restaurant is small, cozy and comfortable. It was a very good experience overall. I will return.

Giving it 3 stars because the food was a little underwhelming. Pros: Service 10/10. From start to finish. Everyone was so attentive and very nice. Atmosphere: cute, kind of small but in an intimate way. It was perfect to catch up with my cousin Drinks: I'd go back solely for the wine. It was delicious! Cons: Food: the Spanish meatballs were flavorful but it was a little too pink for me on the inside. I had the lobster Mac and cheese and the lobster came out smelling VERY fishy. But the mac and cheese was good. Side note: edible flowers were on. Every. Single. Dish. We ordered. It was too much for my liking Overall: 7.5 out of 10

Pros: Great, boutique atmosphere in a cozy location. Service was very welcoming and the waitress was well versed in wine pairings. Cons: The food is excellence but a touch on the salty side.

I came here for the first time during lunch hours and I was pleasantly surprised at how cute and comfortable this little restaurant is! The lunch menu is fun with a good variety of dishes to meet many expectations. For me, it was the wedge salad with blue cheese and buttermilk dressing. I didn't leave anything behind - the portion was just right for me and all the ingredients were fresh and brightly colored. Service was fantastic with a smile, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and pleasant vibes. I can't wait to come here to try dinner!

The food was really fantastic. The service was great. I highly recommend dining here.

The food was by far the best I have ever had anywhere. Escargot to die for, followed by delightful lamb chops, cannoli and cappuccino for desert! Yum!!

This is my new favorite place. Ambiance is wonderful the staff and owners really go out of their way to make your dining experience enjoyable.

I decided to take myself out for lunch after church. I'm so glad I tried this place. The wine was delicious, and the outdoor seating was too cute and comfortable. My hostess and waitress was wonderful. She had a great personality. I couldn't decide, so I got both the chilaquiles with fried chicken and the cheeseburger and fries. I had leftovers of the burger, which was seasoned to perfection ! I will definitely be back for brunch, and I want to try their dinner menu as well.

Food is great and the ambience is really intimate which makes the service even better, this is by far one of the best places to eat in dallas!

Had the most amazing meal there for our anniversary! It was a weekday so had place pretty much to ourselves. Team there was so friendly and thoughtful. The place was adorable and the food was beyond incredible. They brought us additional apps to celebrate our occasion which was sweet and very thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait to go back

Cozy and comfy. This is a gem. I've come for lunch, brunch, and dessert within 4 days. Yes, I love it here! Deliciousness ATW. Fab "Salads"; billowy "Whipped Ricotta Pancakes" & alluring "Sticky Toffee Pudding"! A plus it is to park at Beckley's own lot. Choice of seating in their Inviting patio or warm dining room! Absolutely wonderful is the service. Already looking forward to my next time back. Dinner it'll be next! CHEERS!

Cute little gem in the middle of the neighborhood! Was invited here and I can't say how tickled I am with this place. Sharon is an absolute delight. She bounced from table to table helping out as there was a larger crowd that expected. Her kindness and wit was beyond delightful. So we came to watch the flamenco performance and indulged in some wine and cheesecake. Now don't go expecting a slice of cheesecake from the factory place, this is a smaller more delightful bite that came more as a deconstructed cheesecake but packed flavor. Sharon was so kind to suggest a few wines, let us taste before we bought and her suggestion was on point. The performance was amazing, the crowd gave a great vibe and made us feel like we were in Spain versus OC. Definitely a great spot to check out!

Lambs chops are a must!! Date night vibe with great music not too loud not too low. Worth every penny. Brianna took care of and was amazing. First 5 star review :).

Came here for brunch one day and was honestly so impressed. Sometimes I'm skeptical about hole-in-the wall restaurants but this place exceeded all expectations. The only thing that I didn't like was the French toast has this blueberry/berry compote that is just so so sweet. That combined with the mascarpone made the dish overbearing. However, I'm sure asking for the compote on the side would make the dish much better - and that's just a preference! It otherwise was fantastic.

This is a hidden gem. Chef Rogers is gifted. We came here on a Wednesday night before seeing a show at the Kessler. The food is amazing. We all cleaned our plates. I had the butternut squash pasta. It was truthfully the best pasta I have ever had in my life. Chef Rogers came out to chat with us. Cozy place with wonderful food.

Awesome food and great service. The folks who work there are so proud of their restaurant and take care that everyone has an amazing experience.

No better food, staff or ambiance in DFW. It literally feels like the owners have known you forever and are beyond accommodating. Chef Luke does not miss.

Cute place. The food was sufficient, I didn't get a chance to snap a picture, but ordered the creamy vegetable soup which was served a blaze and sea bass; everything just had so much cheese. The service was good everyone was very attentive and kind.

This was our first visit and my meal was delicious. My wife found her meal too spicy and they made it right by replacing it. I had a braised shortrib pasta that I loved. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the service was great.

We truly enjoyed our meal at Beckley 1115! Service was superb. Loved the lamps on each table so you can read the menu filled with interesting choices. Best hamburger either of us had ever had, and very different, but delicious. Homemade tiramisu to die for. You won't be disappointed. Get over there!

Chef Luke is amazing. Ambience outstanding. Food exquisite. Service friendly and at the ready

My boyfriend and I wanted to check this place out for a random date night. We saw there was a poster that said it had a private event until 6:30. It was 6:20 so we were debating, when the owner came out with a big smile and said he would seat us soon. He then sat us at a table, and we received the BEST service I've had in a while The owner came and chatted with us for a bit and made sure everything was perfect. He was absolutely delightful and our server, Lizz, was AMAZING. She knew the menu down to the detail and SO FRIENDLY. the food was divine (we got beef cheeks and the smoked mac and cheese) and my boyfriend and I are kind of obsessed with this place now. I also need to mention how well the food is plated. It was very aesthetic in every sense. I'll post a pic of the dessert as an example. We are dallas foodies and I haven't left a review in a while...this place was just that good.

What a find! The chef is amazing and friendly. And the food was out of this world good. Had the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer, and the three cheese shrimp past was rich and delicious. Will definitely be back.

My husband and I stumbled upon this cozy restaurant in search for dinner close to home. This restaurant is not too far from downtown near Methodist Hospital in (north) Oak Cliff. The food (including dessert), service, and ambiance is conducive for a tete-a-tete. There is live music on Monday and Thursday's which is a sweet bonus for any date or friends catching up. I had the lamb chops and veggies, my husband had the stuffed pork chops both of which we enjoyed along with the cheesecake for dessert. I cannot wait to visit again and try the other items on the menu.

Excellent food. Everything is rich and buttery. I highly recommend the tomato and burrata appetizer, it is so fresh and delicious. I am not sure what they do to their tomatoes here - must be a marinate or something but it so good. My husband said the tomato from my salad changed his life. His chicken and biscuits was also so good - very buttery but crisp. Yum. Highly recommend. Great wine selections.

Last night we had one of the best meals in a very long time. Each of us ordered a different menu item so we could try it all. The winner was the half chicken! Two bottles of fantastic wine selected by the owner herself. This restaurant catapulted me back to my days in New York. Tables are perfectly spaced out for a romantic dinner or celebrations with friends. This restaurant will become a staple in our Dallas restaurant rotation. Not to mention is owned by a husband and wife working the floor together. Also, for those that are GF like me, it's celiac friendly and almost everything on the menu is safe to eat.

Love this place! From the fun food presentations (flaming sausage appetizer) to the quality and taste, this place is a keeper. Short rib pasta is perfection, artichoke spinach dip is fabulous & I saw several dishes at other tables that I can't wait to try when I return.

Wow what a gem! The ambiance is wonderful. Live sexy music not too loud...just right. Dim but not dark. Flowers at table. Cozy and inviting!!! I had the bouillabaisse w homemade pasta. So good---heavy and filling. Hubby had scallops. Light and creamy pasta. Sauce to die for! Service was friendly and attentive. Even the chef came out to see how the food was. Make a point to come here----you won't be disappointed!!!

We went here for dinner with friends for the first time, and were very impressed. The wine list has great options and very reasonably priced. We had a bottle of rosé and a cab, both of which were great! Our table shared the spinach and artichoke dip (OMG so good!) as well as the burrata and tomato (also very good). For our mains we all had something different: pasta of the day, lamb chops, stuffed pork chop, and the short rib pasta (the one I ordered). Everyone gushed about how excellent it was. I didn't try anyone else's dish but the table favorite was the pasta of the day. I was very thrilled with mine and found it very rich and flavorful, and others said mine wasn't as good as theirs! Needless to say we all very very happy. Portions here are generous without being overwhelming, which was also a nice touch. The service was great, we got to meet the chef and his wife, and overall this was outstanding. I definitely recommend it and will be back soon.

Delicious! Made with love! The bartender gave amazing recommendations, everything had so much flavor! And they make a mimosa right! Glad I found this cute, warm, sweet, little hidden gem! Thank you for the hospitality!

Welcome to the neighborhood. Stop in for some wine and great food. Small plates and large plates. We tasted the charcuterie board, meatballs, and squash toast. There is a good selection of wines and bubbles. We opted for the bubbles. What a great time with old and new friends. We will be back to sit on the patio.

Cozy little neighborhood wine bar restaurant. The service was great and welcoming. We came in on a Wednesday night. They have live music on Wednesdays.

Cute little neighborhood spot! I stopped in for a quick bite and glass of wine and it did NOT disappoint. I got a great, locally made Sangiovese (I think) and this incredible app. Ask for their wine recommendation. They are super thorough with the offerings. I've been a few times and finally remembered to snap a pic of my food!
