位於Oak Cliff / Bishop Arts​的優質家常料理餐廳

This was the first time my wife & I had ever been to The Reunion Tower & Crown Block. This was a reservation for my wife’s birthday & it was perfect ! We got a window seat & my wife was given a birthday card signed by all the staff. It was a nice personal touch. Our waiter was very helpful & polite. Our steaks were cooked perfectly & my lobster tail was delicious! We got to watch the sun set & then enjoyed the view of Dallas from almost 500 feet above. We were both VERY satisfied!

We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.

Another great meal and experience at El Carlos Elegante! We started with cocktails, Cherry Moon and Negroni Cafe, and both were great. The one-hitters, Surf + Turf and Brisket, were exceptional. Don’t miss those two! The Salmon Ceviche and Okra + Shishitos were spot on as usual. We rounded out our meal with a hand-made masa, Chorizo Molotes, which was delicious. Nice crunch on the masa, stuffed with chorizo and refried beans and served with warm salsa roja. The atmosphere was cozy and festive at the same time. To add to the fun, the restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. We’ll definitely be back. A “go-to” restaurant for us. The food and service never disappoints.

Congratulation to Jon Stevens and his team on being named a Recommended Restaurant by the MICHELIN Guide 2024 for Texas. Since my first dinner here, I have always thought that everything about Stock & Barrel is exceptional - the food, the service, the atmosphere. We had another great meal last night and I look forward to many more.

Wonderful service. Cozy. First time eating there for dinner. Worth it. Brunch is a must.
