The Meteor is an all-day diner and wine bar on the first floor of the Urby apartments in the Dallas Design District. If you're a guest at the Virgin hotel or a resident of the Urby, you now have a place to grab a pizza, burger, or some nice drinks in an awesome space.
My Overall Rating - 4 Stars
Atmosphere - The Meteor bills itself as an all-day diner, but it's anything but. It's located on the first floor of the Urby and across the street from the Virgin Hotel, and it's as cool and trendy as both. There's a space for a full bar, and the well appointed dining room has comfortable booths and pop culture wallpaper. The place oozes with cool. 1 Star.
Service - The Meteor is counter service, but the staff was super nice. You place your order up front, grab a number, and your order will come out. There was a wrong ingredient on one of our pizzas, but the staff replaced with an entire pie. Thanks! 1 Star.
Food - It's an all-day café and wine bar, but this review is on the food only. The Meteor gets bonus points for offering sour dough crust pizza and vegan toppings. We ordered a large vegan pepperoni and sausage pizza with regular cheese, and if you didn't tell me it was vegan I wouldn't have believed it. The mozzarella left a string of cheese as I pulled my slice away, and the sourdough crust was hearty, held the toppings in place, and was the perfect vessel for the toppings to reach my mouth. The Meteor Burger was good, but not great. The patty was juicy, and the veggies were fresh - the pickles were the star. But the lackluster bun and price ($17) left much to be desired. The fries, however, made up for any shortcomings. The crispy, perfectly seasoned golden fries were soft on the inside. They were perfect. 1 1/2 Stars.
Will I Return? - Yes....but I'll skip the burger. Did I mention the inside was cool? Not only will I be back, I'm excited I can invite my non meat eating friends to join me. 1/2 Stars.
