Very good food, incredible selection of beer. The One Eyed Jack is delicious, and Captain Jack's flight will be a great selection of top-notch brew. I could visit this place weekly if I lived in Dallas.

The Thai mussels were plump and tender. They were served with a generous portion of very tasty broth and an equally generous portion of bread for soaking up the broth. My server was friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. Overall a great experience.

Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food/beverages. We dined on the patio and enjoyed the cool Dallas evening. I would highly recommend going out of your way to try this innovative restaurant.

This restaurant has a great eclectic menu that serves food until midnight. They have a fantastic bar & all around cool atmosphere. Steak Tartar was excellent as was the roasted beet salad. Servers were attentive prices were a great value for the quality of food and service provided.

This was my first time here. I had the cheeseburger which was good...it had spicy "bread and butter" pickles on the side...yum! The service was spotty...they basically forgot about us but when I flagged someone down they were nice and very attentive. The atmosphere was a take on a modern pub.

Always Busy = Good Food! Cozy-cool decor for a large place. 40+ beers on tap. Great bar. Creative Sunday brunch drinks and menu. Friendly staff. I've joined the list of regulars! Downside is limited parking space shared with 2 other tenants. Very attentive valet parking makes this ok. Worth the parking trouble to dine here. You'll like it!

Spent 3 days in Dallas and my wife picked this place. Every person in the restaurant really seemed to enjoy working there which makes eating somewhere even more enjoyable. Food was amazing. French press coffee with hour glass timer was great. Would have loved to stay and try more of the lunch items and sample some of the beers. Wish... More

Weekday lunch. Butternut squash was watery. Grilled fish sandwich was small, watery, and $14. Pretty much like a six-inch sub cut if half. But at least there was great decor and attentive service. Noisy.

Service was fantastic, attentive but not overbearing. We went for lunch and I had the shrimp and grits. They were fabulous? My associate had the rissoto special and she loved it. I would go back but I would try to find a quiet corner. It does get very loud so its hard to hear each other.

We have dined here twice (Jan 2013 and March 2013). The first experience was outstanding. This last visit was just so-so. Perhaps it's the seasonal menu change -- the food was not as interesting or delicious this time around. The wine and beer selection is excellent.
