I originally planned a wedding shower at another restaurant in Dallas. However, due to a major issue with the afore mentioned place I decided to move our party to La Duni. Their attentive staff helped us plan everything for our afternoon tea party in 1 day!
The chef called us back the same day, and helped my co-host pick out a menu for the guests. On the day of the shower, the table was gorgeous and set up in advance, all we had to do was show up. The staff took care of everything, and they were attentive without being in the way. The shower was so much fun, and the food was delicious. I hope to plan events there in the future!
Pros: Food, Staff, Atmosphere, drinks, cake
Cons: It's on McKinney so parking can be an issue (there is valet- $4)

Four of us went to Fish on Fire on Friday night the 20th of February. The staff waiting tables were friendly and well informed. The food came hot and tasty. The fried catfish was the best I have had since my mama's cooking. The fried okra was wonderful. All in all we had a nice meal and took home left overs.
We will go back. I like that you now have someone to take orders at your table. We don't eat fried foods all that often but will at Fish on Fire, as nothing was greasy at all. Just very tasty.
The hush puppies are really something to try!
Pros: Food was good as was the staff.
Cons: Didn't find any cons....

My wife and I made our very first vist to this restuarant and enjoyed the visit. We decided to visit for the lunch period to avoid the crowds and parking problems that friends told me was common during the evening hours. A young lady met us and guided up toward a back room. We told her we did not want to be sitted in the bar area nor in the patio area and preferred a booth. We were giving a booth in what they called J area.
A young man named James was our waiter and was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were glad because we found this was not our usual Mex-Tex restuarant. He brought us chips (too thin but tasty) and a green looking salsa. My wife asked for ranch dressing instead but I was game. The waiter informed me that I could try more than one salsa since they have four kinds. I tried two and both were good and spicy. Neither anything like I get a El Chico or Pancho's. He had to give us some advice about about our entrees also. I am glad he was so helpful. My wife got both the cheese enchallas and a relleno, both were excellent except the relleno was a little overcooked on the bottom. I had the chicken encellas(pardon my spelling) and it was superb. The waiter was very attentive although the room was soon filled to capacity. His efforts were rewarded when it came time to pay with a very good tip added. He earned it. We enjoyed this meal.
Pros: DECOR, SERVICE
Cons: PARKING, CROWDS

A couple of co-workers and myself ventured to the Fireside Pies on Inwood & Lovers the other night basically just looking to get some good pizza. Having only been to the Henderson location before we did not know what to expect. Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised. This location is much larger so the wait seemed to go by much more quickly. The service was great! The waitresses are were all very nice, had great senses of humor and were sharp. We had at least three different girls (all blondes) approach us to make sure we were having a great time during the course of our meal. A little pushy on the "specials" for the night, but one of my colleagues actually ended up getting something they recommended. You can easily run up your check here, but overall it is worth it. Great atmosphere and a place where you can take your family, significant other or co-workers and still feel comfortable. A combination like that is very rare to find in Dallas these days.
Pros: Food, Service and Atmosphere
Cons: N/A

The store's owners regularly small groups of food aficionados for a week at a time to visit and stay with their suppliers - typically award winning purveyors of very special foods or artisan kitchen, dining, and other craft goods. Every item in the store is premium - the highest quality of the line or singularly unique. And every item has a story - just ask.
Flavors is a step into the real adventure of the Italian experience - with all the heart and soul of a morning on a Tuscan farm, an afternoon with a Deruta master, and an evening with a Sienese chef.
Don't miss it!
Pros: The best Italian kitchen, dining, and gift items!
Cons: no drawbacks, except you'll run out of time

I LOVE this place! The music is always right on point, everyone is there is have a good time. The variety and diversity of people is awesome. You will always meet new people and see old friends here. The bartenders are fun and personable. The security here is good too. The bouncers always have their eyes open and make sure that everyone is there to have fun, not drama. I saw that previous post and that is NOT TRUE! The bouncers are cool as hell and the only time you will have a problem with them is if you start fighting or are putting your hands on someone who doesnt want you putting your hands on them. They are very professional and there for everyone's safety. This place has it goin on! I will come here every weekend!!!
Pros: Diversity, music, something for everyone
Cons: only one bathroom

This place is just what Addison needed. When you are in the mood for a casual, fun atmosphere, great food and fast, courteous service, go to Desi Wok. The buffet is fantastic and a great value at 7.95. These people know how to cook the food the way your mom would cook it if she were about to host a party!
For my wife and I (since we have no family in this state) eating here is like tasting a little bit of home.
Pros: Value
