Texas Spice

I just finished a delicious lunch at McAlister's, and I couldn't wait to share my experience! This is my third visit, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Gloria—she's fantastic! So friendly and warm, and she even checked in on our meal and took our order right away. I remember when this place was a Starbucks, and wow, it has really improved. The customer service is top-notch now. Thank you so much, Gloria! I tried the shareable combo with half a sandwich and half a baked potato, super salad, and it was just scrumptious! Can’t wait to come back!

Texas Spice restaurant is in inside the Omni Dallas Hotel. I can recommend this as the best restaurant inside the hotel. Hotel staff is really helpful. Waiters, Waitresses are really nice. The foods are very yummy and big portions. But their menu is somewhat very limited. I guess this is because they want to spcialized on few dishes and may be economies of scale in supply chain. But I recommend you to focus few more vegetarian dishes as well, may be really nice dishes with fried mozarella or may be with mushrooms. Everything else fine and good easily customizable tables with your number of visitors requirements. One more thing, may be its good if you can set up small heaters (like you have outside with fire and glasses) inside also. Those who like more fire 🙂 can go towards those tables. Well done and keep it up...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Conference week go-to — consistently delicious! While in Dallas for a conference, I ended up eating at Texas Spice three times—and every meal was fantastic. I had the Cobb Salad twice: once with salmon for dinner and once with chicken for lunch. Both versions were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Another evening, I went with the steak and fries—also delicious. The service was friendly and efficient every time, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I’d absolutely go back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Omni for a weekend for our anniversary & decided to come here for dinner. The burger was amazing & so was my pasta. Our server, Lorenzo, was the best server we could’ve asked for. Lorenzo made our night very special, was very attentive, and had a great personality. I never write reviews, but I had to for him. If you come to this restaurant, ask for Lorenzo!

Nice decore with an upscale feel. It’s located on the ground floor in the Omni Hotel. The weekend brunch has a small but adequate selection of food options. The made to oder omelet bar adds a personalize feel to an otherwise average brunch bar. The fresh fruits were fresh. The scrambled eggs were watery so I did not try. The biscuit, sausage and gravy were delish! Espresso and latte were not offered as an option but coffee was and it was a decent blend. Alternative milks (almond & oat) were available if you prefer instead of regular milk for your coffee. The juice was watered down because ice was mixed with the juice inside the dispenser as a way to keep the juice chilled. I hope they will consider another serving method in the near future. On the dinner menu, we ordered the shrimp crevice on the starter menu and the roasted chicken since we weren’t that hungry. The crevice is not your standard crevice. The coconut leche de poach sauce was unique and delicious. The only downside was that it came with only about 6 medium shrimps. It’s overpriced at $17. Although it worked out since we weren’t that hungry. The roast chicken was smoky, moist and seasoned well. It was placed on top of a pile of creamy mashed potatoes with a side of vegetables. We were pleasantly surprised with the portion and flavor of this dish. There’s a 2-sided large outdoor fireplace that is just mesmerizing!

I ordered room service from Texas Spice. I requested the Texas Spice Burger and Fries. The order was delivered super fast and it was hot. The burger was very juicy and flavorful. I polished off the entire meals. I told others to try the restaurant as the dining menu looked delicious.

The short rib was delicious! I chose mashed potatoes and carrots as side. I only knock off stars because I was excited for the Dr Pepper sheet cake. This is not a sheet cake. This is an upscale ding dong with Dr Pepper sauce. It tasted fine but I repeat - this isn't sheet cake.

Will return for the decor and food. High ceiling, industrial, large lighting features, booths and tables. Outdoor has couple of fire going on in a 74 degree Friday in May, before 12 noon. Two large fake flowers are stationed at one door - wondering what are they doing in a farm to table restaurant. Service is good. As soon as we were seated, servers came immediately with water. Food came rather slow, without any lunch crowd - which is fine for us. We were initially seated by the wall. When I asked to sit by the window, the young female hostess said “oh they’re reserved.” Identical to the line I was fed three days ago at The Pink Adobe in Santa Fe. But she then volunteered, “lets me check.”After the coffee is served, they moved us to the window - that looks out to the red flying horse - the renovated Pegasus. Of course, by the time we leave an hour later, the window tables are as vacant as when we came, and the restaurant is emptier at 12:40 - with a convention of Fan Expo in full swing that the hotel has direct link to. I like their 100% cotton blue napkins, simple Corby Hall tableware. We’ve a light brunch: Artisan salad and grill cheese - both are good. My salad is lightly seasoned with nuts and mint. Some chairs’ cushion could use ‘renovation’.

I think that was one of the best avocado toast creations I've had yet. Talk about inventive! It had a Love infused into it! That's one of the best I've ever had and I have avocado toast everyday of my life. I don't know who's in that kitchen, but they need a raise.

Quick in and out lunch experience at Texas Spice! Service was fast. Thank you for that. I had the ceviche and tomato soup. The ceviche's unique milky dressing and the smoky, thick, and rich tomato soup were both excellent. Texas Spice emphasis local ingredients with a southern-style twists. The farm-to-market concept offers fresh, great-tasting food in a casual dining setting. The rustic interior, designed with repurposed materials, creates a charming atmosphere almost creating history. Kudos to Texas Spice for being recognized as a Diners' Choice Winner by OpenTable.com!

Texas spice and everything nice! This review is solely for the AYCE breakfast buffet. The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet offers up a diverse selection of dishes, ranging from 2 types of scrambled eggs, 2 types of sausage links, a meat pattie, crispy bacon, gravy and biscuits, oatmeal, bagels, fruit, yogurt and so much more. There is an omlette station where they create some delicious omlettes and waffles. The quality of the food was very good as the fresh ingredients were evident to my pallette, and the buffet area is clean and well-maintained. Overall the service was exceptional and ambiance was Awesome! All this played a crucial role in enhancing the dining experience, You can order ala carte but the AYCE is a very convenient option for a delicious hearty breakfast and makes for a quick exit if you're in a rush for time, just make sure you pay your bill first! :)

Quiet dinner spot. Everyone working was very friendly and considerate while we were here. The food was great! My girlfriend is vegan, so the only thing she could get was the Cauliflower Steak and it tasted great even for me. The portions are texas sized and the atmosphere if very relaxed with a touch of country.

The team was super accommodating and friendly. You could tell that the food was simple but delicious.

I ate here three times on my recent weeklong trip to Dallas and I wasn't even staying at the Omni. Everything was fresh and delicious. I will definitely come back.

We were staying at the Omni hotel for a conference and with several people who were trying to eat healthy, including a vegetarian and a vegan. We were in love with the vegan option that was offered for breakfast, the quinoa sweet potato plate, with plant based soyrizo patty to sub the poached egg. The second day we were there, we were told no substitutions but this was quickly rectified by the manager who was super accommodating and helpful. It was so nice to have a great option to start off our morning, and most importantly it was super tasty!

Welcomed by amazing bar staff, Dakota and Jason. My cocktail was garnished with the freshest orange I have had this side of Florida. It was just an all-around great atmosphere, great place to unwind after work. Excellent excellent service.

This was a great option for us while staying at the Omni hotel. They switch to lunch at 10:30 so we were able to sneak in for breakfast on a Friday. Breakfast buffet had lots of options and loved the ones station. Friend had the lox bagel and it was very good. Took off one star because our server was slow and it was a bit pricey.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Sat at the bar enjoyed huevos rancheros, and Texas spice breakfast sandwich. Bartender/server was very friendly and kind.

Easter brunch was very good. Very courteous staff, live music and bunny , Delicious food and has a great selection of foods Inlet station was very good. Bunny adds more fun for the kids Desserts , so many varieties , hard to choose. definitely would Recommend.

Buffet: great, freshly cooked food! Reasonable price for dinner. Nice environment and super friendly staff.

We had breakfast this morning. My three egg omelet and potatoes were tasty! Wish they would add some toast to this entree, but still very tasty! My wife had the BLT Benedict, and she said it was good too except for the raw bacon. She put the bacon aside and enjoyed the rest of it though.

They weren't lying when they said breakfast was the most important meal of the day! I mean really, look how hearty this plate was.Y'all know me, I loveeee a lot of food on my plate so when I saw Sterling's food I immediately had food envy. But no worries, my french toast was everything I needed and more. (Think of Frosted Flakes, icing, and syrup all swirled on top of golden brown toast) Just thinking about it got me hungrayyyy for real! Big thanks to Texas Spice for this one * * As seen on menu: -Two Eggs & Breakfast Potatoes choice of pecanwood smoked bacon, sausage or turkey bacon -Corn Flake-Encrusted French Toast maple syrup | butter

From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted by the most precious hostess! Our waitress and waiter gave us 5 star service, and to top it off Jason, the manager went above and beyond to make sure our experience was more than incredible ! We loved this place and would come back whenever we are in town!

As a native Texan, and not a tourist, I thought this place was awful. We walked in and the hostess was nowhere to be found. Then a waitress tried to seat us, and the hostess rushed over and gave the server attitude like she wasn't just trying to help. Our waitress was the best part of the experience. However she did tell us the food had lots of flavor, and that was a lie. The spinach artichoke dip was soupy and had no flavor. My boyfriend's steak frites were over cooked and had no flavor as well. My roasted chicken was dry and also had no flavor. The mashed potatoes had enough garlic to kill off a family of vampires, but hey at least it had flavor. 10/10 WOULD NOT recommend. You can get way better food for much less at Outback or Texas Roadhouse.

Open but not ready to be open. Can we all just be easy that this is a 1st worlder review a first world establishment. In the grand scheme, I am privileged in ways even some 1st worlders are not. Grains of salt. Given we are just emerging from a devastating pandemic, I have developed service tolerance. Service staff is stretched to it's absolute limit, yet businesses are opening at full capacity. If the customers show up, that justifies the demand for a fully staffed experience. Pay them, or soon you will see business fall off due to management and owners flaunting their perception that we will come, just because they built it. Um, others are building as well. We will go to them. Texas Spice is not Waffle House, not when they charge $19 plus tip for the buffet WH, you get the same basic food items as this place, in a vast quantity enough to match a buffet meal, yet one can expect WH to be fully staffed, and for about $14 plus tip, with coffee, and you get doted on. Aesthetics is no advantage if the service experience is not on par with your price point. Yes, it is 1st world, but it is not for free, we pay to cover that it is. Buffet is back open, some of the menu items have changed. The potatoes I made the 45 minute drive, now just huge chunks of roasters one would expect on a dinner menu, not breakfast. Gone are the delicious, delicate slices paired with onions. Why on earth would you do this? To be able to serve that not sold for breakfast, with lunch or dinner? It doesn't work, so breakfast is now less appealing. Cut corners, but not so obvious that it effects the experience so basic. Sausage patties are mass canned, and not the hand formed patties they had before. I served in the Army for a decade, these were like the mess hall sausage patties that come in a can precooked in mystery juice, then heated and served. Awful. They offer omelets, but the eggs on the line appeared to be of the reconstituted powdered variety, not fresh eggs. Who is managing this place making such decisions to offer quality that is far less than a dive experience, but at niche pricing? You think we get lost in ambiance? Those unused to good food quality for whom this is that special experience, but not those of us that do this regularly, that have developed expectations. Service. 1 server cannot meet the needs of as many tables as you are expecting. Yes, you may be short staffed, then make sure it isn't were it counts. Maybe limit capacity, or pay a wage that workers will show up to work for. Losing customers will not build your brand. Pay more, more customers spread the word you are top notch, and you can fill seats, raise prices, everyone wins. Anyone coming to the Omni Hotel for breakfast, can afford $24.99, if they can afford $19.99, and will pay it gladly. Your clientele exists. Now the service has to match the clients expectations. Starbucks is charging a mint for coffee, because there is a huge client base willing to pay it. So sell it, but service matters. The server that waited on me was doing an awesome job. Imagine if there were two, then the juggling act would not seem so. Waffle House staffs in such a manner that you have very little wait time, and your glass stays full. You need anything, they are on it before you can ask. They are present in your experience. WAFFLEHOUSE! How are you lagging behind them in hiring staff? Wafflehouse, get it, do you know your tier versus theirs? Do you understand what that says? You are placing a side of the road WH a cut above your offering. I have bacon, sausage, links, a Cuisinart Chef quality Waffle iron, I can make everything you offer, and quite well I might add, I burn. For me to choose to leave what I could have made much cheaper, and great, you have to know I am only coming out, for service, and what you say you do better. I have placed TS at the top of my nationwide, favorite breakfast spots for quite some time now. Lots of great spots in LA, Carlsbad, LaJolla, San Deigo, and in the DFW, but loyalty to TS as my fav, has always withstood the rest. If this change in food quality, and service, is a glitch due to pandemic recovery, I am prepared to see what the future holds, and to a return to normalcy. But if this is your new normal. Time to avail myself to other offerings. WH has real sausage patties, that taste like pork, eggs you see them crack, not wisk with water, and people in numbers to match the flow of customers. Heck, if you go to the right location of WH, you can even witness, or join in a brawl or two. Now you're talking. Who doesn't like a bit of exercise after, or during a meal? Okay, so that is usually in an unsavory area, and during after hours when the drunks roll in. I am never out in those wee hours. Step up your game Texas Spice. You need to justify valet parking, and the concepts appeal, or go away like so many other businesses. Be safe Yelpers. Take care of yourself, your loved ones, and even look out for others you may not know.

Breakfast before a convention ... hotel lobby restaurants aren't normally much to write home about. But Texas Spice nailed it! Their menu has something for everyone. I ordered the bacon and egg tacos. They were excellent!! In fact, I'm here now on day two to eat them again. Fast and friendly service (Eunice was great!) tops off the experience. From the greeting at the host stand by Ty to the manager of the restaurant, I felt welcomed. Make sure to leave enough time though as there might be a wait during busy times.

Yummmm. Love this joint! You gotta come try it, ya'll....

This is a review for the breakfast buffet only. The buffet was only $19 per person and it's a phenomenal value for what is offered. Take a look at the video I uploaded to see the spread! My favorites were the made to order 3 egg omelette, the oatmeal pancake with chocolate chips, all the fresh delicious fruit cups (that included berries, fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, And honeydew!), and the chicken sausage. Wow it all tasted amazing and was clearly farm to table! The service was prompt and there was staff constantly clearing out plates so we could go back for more! Everything is made in house, even the pastries! I tried the blueberry muffin and it was very good! I can't say enough good things about texas Spice's breakfast buffet. I am dreaming of the next opportunity I can get away one morning to indulge again!

Nice little breakfast spot in the Omni. I was here for a dental event with my coworkers and we all loved this place! The service was awesome, our server was so nice and brought us out a yummy shot of various juices at the end of our breakfast. They have a great menu or there was a buffet. It was stocked with some pretty great stuff. The scrambled eggs were so fluffy and delicious. There was a table with various breads and a cool little toaster with regular butter and some honey cinnamon butter. If I ever find myself at the Dallas Omni I will def be here for some great breakfast to start my day!

Guys wait!!! Y'all didn't prepare me for this place! Like, for real! The service is excellent, and the food.... OH MY LORD! The waffles here are in the shape of Texas and are as light and fluffy as cotton balls! Lol!!! My wife and I came here for Sunday Brunch and guys I highly recommend this place! Ambiance is incredible as well, nestled inside the Beautiful Omni Hotel Downtown Dallas! Check it out!!!

We decided to celebrate Christmas with brunch at the Omni's Texas Spice. The menu advertised interesting culinary treats. The buffet cost $70 per person including their mandatory 20% service charge. The service and atmosphere were great. They even gave you a loaf of cranberry bread to take home. However, the buffet that was full of quantity were flavorless. The restaurant did display a beautiful assortment of selections, tempting you to try the variety though. Farmers market salad, turnip greens and spinach salad and butternut barley salad all had no flavors although the description was enticing and looks good in individual glass serving containers. Shrimp (2) and crab cocktail were chewy. Instead of having shrimp cocktails that you can select they choose to put two shrimp in a cup for you. The pickled vegetables were not seasoned correctly. The carving table of turkey, brisket and ham were tasty. The accompaniments of parsnip and apple bisque was good plus the roasted roots. The sweet potato casserole, cream corn and scalloped potatoes were definitely plain. Shrimp and grits were good. However, the parker house rolls were so dry plus the breakfast pastries flavorless. It was definitely disappointing. Most brunch buffet should have delicious moist pastries. Now the desserts- beautiful display of petit fours, Christmas logs, Creme Brulé, pumpkin pie, apple crumb cake. Good to look at but not much taste-all very dry and not moist or flavorful. The ambiance of the buffet is good, but flavor is important also and it is lacking.

This is a great fine dining restaurant in downtown Dallas. We just finished up the 6th floor museum and looking for a place within walking distance. This place was within a hotel but it was hot outside (exceeding 102+) and we needed a cool place. The place wasn't very busy so we got right in. The place is very upscale but we were in shorts and t-shirts and they didn't kick us out. The service was very good. The waitress took our order and within 15 minutes we had our food. I had the chicken fried steak with a twist, chorizo sausage gravy. Wow was that good! Mashed potatoes were done perfect and I'm certain they were real potatoes. Great dining experience. Value vs price was right on but expect to pay for it. This is one of those places you treat yourself every once in a while.

Maybe we just went on an "off" night but this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had in Dallas. Ever. The 2 stars is for the kindness of the hostess and the tasty appetizer. The rest of the experience goes down from there. The waitress was awful; she didn't know the ingredients of the meals or even what the vegetable of the day was. Couldn't she ask?!? She kept trying to sell us on the "Buffet". I came for a friends birthday and it was never acknowledged even though I repeatedly mentioned it. The worst part is that we got our side order after we were done with the meal and were still charged for it. I can't believe the lack of service here. I expect better from a restaurant that is inside the Omni.

Great atmosphere and location; if you are not staying in the Omni Hotel, you can park in the hotel parking lot or use the valet out front - the convenience is worth a few dollars. We stayed in the Omni; so we tried the restaurant for supper & breakfast = more info for you! Supper: solid 5/5 on atmosphere with street-points for the hooker waiting at the bar. Easy 5/5 on food; with the huge CFS a clear winner (great beef served crisp with tinder center - perfect - not just big)! My wife enjoyed the unexpected dinner-buffet; with tasty fried chicken, salads, and an array of desserts. Service was only 3/5; our waittress was very nice, but had too many tables to attend our drinks on time. Breakfast: another buffet is offered for breakfast - this place is turning into Luby's! You can order from the menu; for example 3-egg omelette or corn-flake encrusted french toast - but the same items can be had on the buffet. Pay the extra $ to get the buffet, so you have access to extra fruits, desserts, potatoes, etc.. Kudos for crisp bacon; both pork & turkey! Easy 4/5 for good food (only a point shy of perfect for soggy breakfast potatoes), 5/5 on service, and 5/5 on atmosphere. Glad we enjoyed dinner & breakfast here!

The breakfast bar looks incredible. Unfortunately our server or the hostess did not mention it and we learned about it afterwards. I was disappointed. Then our service did not come back and we sat there for 20 minutes with no water or food in front of us. We couldn't close out to leave. We had a different server than the people next to us and it definitely showed in the quality of service they received that we did not.

The service here is top notch! I threw my son's graduation luncheon here in one of the private rooms. I booked the party a few days before. Made several special requests and was not told "no" Once. They knew it was a special occasion and made sure everything was as ordered and perfect. When we arrived the room was already set. Appetizers out, table settings and personalized menus. We had our personal servers who were very attentive and kept an eye on the room. Removing dishes promptly and bringing the next course when appropriate. Our meal was served family style in gorgeous appetizing platters. I was on such a high I can't remember if I even ate but all the food was gone so it's a sign it was pretty good. They even made a cake especially for us!!! I was super impressed and recommend Texas Spice to anyone for large private parties. My only suggestion would be they change the lighting in the room. The highest setting was still low and all my pics came out so dark so couldn't really brag like I wanted to! Lol great time still.

Just FYI, it is inside the hotel, they have a really good variety of drinks, really well explained and nice decoration. The waiter was really attentive, and food was on point. They interrupted our food because the alarm went off; however, the compensated us with dessert. Worth to check it out!

This has been a hard place to review, because quite frankly, I've had mixed experiences. I think it's really a 3.5*'s (3.5 stars) but there's no 1/2 stars. The first morning I had the buffet and I must say imo it's waaay overpriced. Even for me with a card that points out I had weight loss surgery and I get the kids price. But I might also think it's waaay overpriced because I DID have weight loss surgery. That is a conundrum. So breakfast is good. But pricey. I just paid $14.07 ;pre-tip) for a bowl of oatmeal with berries and raisins and coffee. Uh-huh-pricey. But it was good. The staff is good. Once again not excellent but good (20% tip good imo.)

Food was what you'd expect for a hotel restaurant. Not a lot of vegetarian options. - Tuna tacos- a squeeze of lemon and a bit of aioli helped the flavorless fish, but nothing helped the tasteless taco shell it came in. - Market salad was fine, but forgettable. Didn't have much flavor, though the spice in the shaker on the table helped. - Bread basket- this was the best part of the meal- corn bread and biscuits with a sweet butter Server was very friendly, but food not worth going back for.

Enjoyed Easter Brunch at Texas Spice yesterday. The staff was amazing and so friendly. I was blown away by the service. The Easter Bunny was a nice touch too! I'm not typically a big fan of an all you can buffet but was very pleased with the selection of food and quality. I would definitely go back!

Me and a friend were looking for a place to eat last minute and I remembered seeing this place on yelp. We didn't realize it was inside the Omni hotel lol We checked out the menu and I asked the waitress what she recommends. She told me these were her favorites, Tuna tater tacos and Brisket grill cheese. I'm from Texas so I think of brisket with BBQ haha. She was kind enough to bring me a side of Bbq sauce. Tuna Tatar tacos were good but the sauce inside made it a little better. The shell was ok, I was thinking tortilla tacos but I get the concept. Brisket grill cheese was amazing! The brisket was cooked to perfect and the cheese was cheesy. To my taste buds it went well dipping with the bbq sauce I asked for. It also came with a side of salad but the dressing "the green sauce" next to it was to die for! Btw my friend did the buffet which I'm not really into but he said it wasn't bad at all. I would definitely come back to try their dinner menu.

I wandered over there from the jfk museum. The staff was so delightful and warm. The recommended the Tuna tartare and it was yummy and hit the spot. It is inside the Omni. Mapquest started to send me behind the building but a bus driver was nice enough to direct me inside. I recommend this spot if you are nearby. The desserts looked amazing. The place has a lot of ambiance. The food is great. The concierge, jane was wonderful and gave me some great information about where to go and eat. She was awesome and helpful as this was my first time in Dallas.

The menu concept was impressive, the mood setting was very relaxed and servers were very polite. I ordered the 44 Farms Ribeye Steak medium rare. I was not impressed with this cut of meat at all. It was too tuff, not tender. Although the seasoning was good the original sauce made it better. A good steak don't need sauce. My wife ordered the Texas Spiced Gulf Fish. This meal was very tasty and well worth the money! I'd order this meal next time.

Do not miss this restaurant when you're in Dallas!!! Such a wonderful place, inside the Omni Hotel but luckily it doesn't have that cheesy hotel restaurant vibe to it. We felt totally transported. Local, fresh food that was so special and delicious. A wonderful server named Gabby- seriously one of the best I've ever had anywhere- she's a gem, and a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The perfect place to collapse after a long day of sightseeing. The menu changes often- I'm posting a pic of the menu we were given, but be warned that some things on it may change soon. But that's just because they get the best fresh, local fare- nothing travels more than 200 miles before it's on your plate. Everything we had was wonderful- I've posted pics of it all. These are definitely Texas-sized portions, though- prepare for lots of leftovers! On the table they have the most incredible shaker full of their 'special seasoning.' It's like a slightly sweet BBQ rub. Our server gave us some to take home. So nice! Definitely one of the best meals I've had. I recommend this place wholeheartedly.

I can't speak on the food, just our drinks, service, and ambianceI give those 3 items 5 stars. Jessica, worked with Anthony briefly and they tagged teamed together to make sure we had a great time, since we just had a mishap at another restaurant, and we were visiting from Cali. That's what I call first class service, going over and above. Now, the ambiance was perfect for us, and the drinks...so good. I can't tell you the price, I didn't pay, but whatever it was, so worth it!! Anthony gave great recommendations for us to enjoy our stay, and he was on the money!! Will actually be returning tonight to have a send off drink before going back to Cali. Thanks so much for a great time. Management please take notice...great staff!!

For a hotel restaurant/bar, this place really crushed it. The tuna tacos were amazing, seriously some of the freshest ingredients I've ever had, from the tuna itself, to the jalapeños, this was awesome. The speciality cocktail menu is unique and the Palmer Pick is super refreshing on a hot day. Definitely recommend dropping in if you want a quiet, upscale experience!

Reservation were made for Father Day for about 15-20 people for brunch. We had a warm welcome. We were seated and provide a spacious private room. The waiter was very attentive. You had the option to select the breakfast bar or order from the menu.

My girlfriend and I did a staycation at the Omni for the weekend and we checked this place out for drinks. The restaurant had a cabin-like feel to it with numerous wooden decor. It had an open design with plenty of seating inside. They also had patio seating available but it was too cold to sit outside. My girlfriend ordered the botanical crush (4/5). It was basically a gimlet. It had a crisp, refreshing taste to it without being overhelmingly sweet. I decided to try their tequila old fashioned and I was definitely impressed - 5/5! It was flavorful and smooth! I also ordered their Tennessee old fashioned (4/5) but thought the tequila old fashioned was more enjoyable. Shout out to Ryan at the bar for hooking us up with some stiff drinks! I'm a big fan of ice balls though and I wish they had it here to give my old fashioned a much more visual appeal. But besides that, no other complaints! :)

2.5 Stars I was staying at the Omni for a conference so popped into Texas Spice right off the lobby for a quick breakfast. I was seated at the bar, where the service was a little bit lacking, and my huevos rancheros, while beautifully plated, made its way to me on the lukewarm side. The flavors were good and probably would have been much better had the dish actually been served hot. All in all, a serviceable breakfast but, at this price point and in this setting, a bit disappointing.

Beautiful restaurant! The atmosphere felt classy and cozy. I ordered the short rib and asked to sub the mac 'n cheese with vegetables. They gladly did this substitution and they were very generous with the vegetables which were perfectly roast to soften the vegetables but maintain a fresh, crisp crunch. The servers were very attentive to me, refilling water, checking in on me, and quick to get my check and box my leftovers. According to my receipt, one of my servers was Quazi. This was the first restaurant I ate at in my first visit to Texas. Thank you for the wonderful Texan hospitality! With the dim lighting and beautiful decorations, this place is a great choice for a date! ;)

We visited for the Thanksgiving Buffet. The food tasted great and there was variety. The rolls were very dry and hard. Our issue was with the service. 2-3 weeks before Thanksgiving I made a call to make a reservation and had to leave a voicemail. I received a callback a week ago today around noon time and was told I would be put on a waitlist if anyone canceled I may get a reservation. I was told that I could also do a walk up because the restaurant was taking reservations for half of the restaurant and the other half was for walk ups. We show up as a walk up 10 minutes after 11am. We were put on the waitlist (we were #5 on the list for a party of 3) and I knew it was going to be while before we sat down but had no idea it would be almost 3 hrs!! I later found out that the person on the phone was incorrect. The restaurant wasn't taking walk ups for half of the seating in the restaurant. I thought I would wait a reasonable amount of time. We received a text 10 minutes before 2pm after most people had left and that's when we were finally able to get a table. I guess by then our server Miriam was done for the day because she was not very attentive. I ordered sweet tea and when I came back to the table my husband said they were out and she gave me regular tea instead of asking if I wanted another drink. It took me a while to get her attention to get another drink. We kept having to flag her down for drink refills. I mean she had one job...to refill drinks, it's not that hard. The fact that gratuity is automatically added to your bill I guess makes it easy for servers to be sloppy on the job. She really lacked service skills. At the dessert bar, there was a dessert that had ice cream and I wanted one where the ice cream wasn't melted. The lady at the dessert bar said they were out of ice cream. I overheard someone say in Spanish that they should get ice cream from the back but their excuse was we are already closing no point in bringing it out. After taking my seat, several minutes later I saw someone bring a big tub of blue bell ice cream after a second person asked I assume. The trend I experienced is that if you are sat down near closing time, don't expect great service or anyone to go above and beyond. Update 11/26/2021 After looking at my receipt and their thanksgiving menu, my child's buffet was not complimentary even though she's 5. At no moment did Miriam ask us how old our child was and just assumed she was over 6. I've called and left a voicemail for restaurant manager. I won't be expecting a quick call back since Last time it took weeks for someone to call to call me back about my reservation. We will not be returning to dine at Texas Spice.

Today I had the pleasure of experiencing an exceptional breakfast at Texas Spice at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Dallas. We were promptly greeted, and taken to our table. Our server Lori greeted us and advised we could either order breakfast from their menu, or we could enjoy their $24 all-you-can-eat buffet, which we opted for. Lori was extremely gracious (as well as the rest of the staff) and she was very engaging, which made for a fun dining experience. You have to try their French toast, it's crusted in frosted flakes, and has a crispy outside, and soft inside. The scrambled eggs were a little hard (to be expected on a buffet), but everything else was great. They had chicken sausage links, blueberry pork sausage (yummy), and regular pork sausage links as well as bacon. Biscuits and gravy, along with assorted fruit and pastries, as well as made-to-order omelets, pancakes, waffles, and the aforementioned French toast, along with various juices and coffee. To top it all off, we had our parking validated, and as an added bonus, it ended up being free. Definitely will be returning here for another breakfast, and hope to see Lori again.

Wonderful restaurant that makes me start looking at Dallas differently. Not just good BBQ....LOL. service was good. Gotta do the country fried chicken

We came because Ellen's had a 40 min wait and this was within walking distance of the west end historic area. $20 brunch buffet! It's all savory comfort food. Decent food, would recommend if you're alin the area or staying in the Omni hotel (it's located inside on the ground floor). It's good for the price and the seating is upscale comfortable.

Best breakfast buffet in the city! Good service, atmosphere and nice people. You won't be disappointed.

Nice environment and good food! Ribs bbq- good Mac n cheese- yummy Steak- yes!!! Shrimp n grits- good but a little salty

Good for a breakfast spot. Lots of gluten free options! Gluten free red items are set separately and individually wrap

Texas spice is one of the perks of staying at the Omni! Amazing farm to table food Fabulous drinks! Great shabby chic decor *Meghan* was such a fabulous bartender last night! Swift and helpful. Thanks for putting up with us! ;)
