TL;DR: Come for the cocktails and coastal vibes, stay for the brussels sprouts. The rest of the food? Meh. Sunset, spritz, and live music will distract you from the mid-menu. Valet required--so bring your fanciest attitude and $10.
I'll start off by saying as a downtown resident I really was rooting for this place. But they're not there. Not yet anyway. Read on for more.
This place feels like it was designed by someone who said, "Let's make a restaurant that feels like a beach house curated by my Pinterest board, but, like... in downtown Dallas." And honestly? Mission accomplished.
Let's start with the real MVP: the brussels sprouts. I know, I know. You don't come to places like this thinking vegetables are gonna rock your world. But these did. Crispy, savory, and somehow more memorable than the main courses. They deserve a standing ovation and their own front page.
Now, the rest of the food? It looked great on the plate but didn't exactly leave me texting my group chat in all caps. Definitely a little style over substance. Not bad--just not brussels sprouts good, ya know?
Drinks, though? Absolute stars. Gorgeous presentations, solid flavor, and if you get one of the staff's recommendations, it'll feel like you're sipping something from a lifestyle influencer's dream reel. You may be paying $15+ for a drink, but at least it comes with a mini performance and a vibe.
The setting is where this place really wins--part indoor, part patio, all vibes. Sunset rolls in, live music starts playing, and suddenly you're feeling like you're on a beach date... until the valet reminds you you're in Dallas and it's $10 to reclaim your car.
Final verdict? Come for the drinks, the sprout sorcery, and the ambiance. Just don't set your foodie heart too high on the entrées.
