Dallas Observer

Gets the job done when most of the other bars in Dallas are mopping the kitchen floors. And the neighborhood locals who congregate at the bar make this one of Dallas' best places to spend late night .

Mighty Q

Owners & staff are the best part of the experience here, other than the food and drinks. Literally, EVERYTHING is good. Beet salad , fried pork loin , pizza , Nova 75...

Dallas Observer

This gastropub in the former Kavala space was opened by a conglomerate of local hospitality hotshots, among them chef Kelly Hightower, whose pedigree includes Bolla, the Green Room and Hibiscus . Read more

MacKenzie McCarver

Local spot with great cocktails , friendly staff , and a fried pork loin that will change your life (no guarantees). No kids menu . Great for a date or friends night out. Not one bad dish on the menu.

Timothy Möhle

This roasted chicken is pretty damn good. Glad the waitress suggested it. I never default to chicken breast when eating out. I mean how pedestrian, right? Wrong!

Dallas Observer

The smoked salmon makes this one of Dallas' best bar snacks , and the neighborhood locals sitting on the stools make this one of Dallas' best bars .

Jennifer Hudson

Heirloom tomato salad was a special. It was awesome. Nice touch of habanero was the secret to the pleasing hint of spice, according to our most awesome waiter , Blake.

Darren Looker

Try the beet salad with BBQ vinaigrette . Even if you think you hate beets , you'll love this unorthodox dish. Mussels are also amazing.

Daniel Araki

Chicken fried pork is amazing! They also have great beer tap selection . Managers are friendly

Darrell Miller

The chicken & waffles and the shrimp and grits are fantastic!!!

katy ramsey

Brunch was amazing but all good here is on point. Try the mimosas or the mule

Larry Hance

Our friends took us here after music at the Kesler. Very good food and great atmosphere! Definitely will go back.

Gastón Labougle

Great atmosphere. A mixture between a retro diner and a modern bar . The pizza is very very good

Dallas Observer

Instead of the traditional soft-boiled egg , you'll find a perfectly poached version in Nova's ramen .

Greg Bell

Brisket burger , pork fried steak and chocolate bomb for dessert . Service was outstanding!

L Benskin

Beet salad , Brussels sprouts , hummus , pizza , noodles , frequently changing menu item!

Whit Maull

The chicken fried pork tenderloin is enough food for two, but so good that you'll finish it yourself.

Dallas Observer

You'll find the TV down at the end of the bar , where it curves like a fishhook, making conversation easy.

Timothy Möhle

The place is buzzing with a very inventive, homey menu. Bring earplugs on a weekend night.

Robbie Good

The pho is legit. If you're thinking about it, do it!

Sheila Abbott

Ask about the fresh blackberry desserts !

Bret Cococcia

Love this place! "Mid-century modern/retro"... It's like local townies meets hipsters meets The Jetsons.

Amelia VonKennel

A glass of cava , pita and hummus appetizer , spinach and feta pizza . Yum! Don't be afraid of the patio , nice and toasty !

Adeline Tolliver

Food and drinks were delicious, and the chocolate brûlée was YUMMY!!

Warren Farmer

Have Rob, the bartender , tell you the story of his Christmas Party in the U-Haul. It laugh your ass offable.

Dina Light-McNeely
