Wow! I’ve been to a lot of nice places and this one is top tier. The lobster with the elote was the best I’ve ever had. The spinalis steak to good to be true. I can’t wait to go back.

Really awesome experience! Came here immediately after proposing to my woman and I they gave us some really nice amenities. The best part was the service; every single server/host/food runner was amazing. They have the perfect balance of checking on you and not being overbearing. My lady was cold & they brought a blanket as a courtesy. We just split one plate, the 20oz ribeye, and it was delicious. But the service is really what put this over the top.

Immediately informed by bartenders that no one oversees the website, and to disregard any online information regarding bourbon tastings and food. I appreciated the direct feedback upon notifying the bartenders of the RSVP. We enjoyed drinks, mixed nuts and pork skins. Great service from Anthony and Sebastian!

The servers at Little Ruby’s were so nice, we believe it was the manager, but this one lady was really nice. There was a confusion with our reservation time and we arrived earlier than it was and the kitchen wasn’t open yet nonetheless she’s still let us in and sat us down and gave us a glass of water until the kitchen was open. Definitely one of the best services I’ve experienced in uptown Dallas. The food was amazing. The breakfast burrito was really good. I would recommend this place to other people.

    An evening at Evelyn is an experience in itself! ✨ From the glamorous décor to the intimate, sophisticated ambiance, every corner exudes luxury and elegance. I enjoyed the lobster linguine, calamari, and shrimp, paired with a delicious passionfruit martini. The food absolutely did not disappoint! Evelyn strikes the perfect balance between upscale dining and a chic, vibrant atmosphere. Beautiful interiors, fabulous cocktails, and delicious cuisine. A must-visit for an elevated night out in Dallas! 🥂

    Amazing experience! The food and level of attention to detail really make for an excellent experience.  We enjoyed our pasta dish, our sea bass (fish of the day) as well as the roast chicken. The vegetarian dishes were also delicious. You can tell that they are not an afterthought and are equally considered in terms of taste and preparation. Also don’t miss out on the jollof rice… easily among the best in town.  We both enjoyed our cocktails as well – – try the “oolong lavender spritz.”
