The Charlotte restaurant’s thoughtful attention to detail stood out—they even wrote me a happy birthday note. I enjoyed salmon drizzled with pineapple teriyaki sauce, served with bok choy and mashed potatoes. For an appetizer, I chose fried plantains with a jerk-style dip—a delicious pairing of spicy sauce and sweet plantains. I sipped sweet Southern tea alongside my meal. The elegant, luxurious furnishings create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for birthday celebrations or private business meetings. Valet parking is also available.

This place is pure opulence! LOVED it. Amazing design and decor. The band and dancers were outstanding. Our bartender, Haley, was superb! Amazing drinks and food. Very special. It is definitely pricey, but worth every penny. (Go for the short but good happy hour.)

What a wonderful experience at Winsome Prime Steakhouse! ❤️ From the delicious food to the amazing music and beautiful atmosphere, everything made the evening feel special. You can tell so much care goes into creating an unforgettable experience. We truly enjoyed every moment, and the entire experience was a 10/10! Definitely looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Want great food, and to do good at the same time? Then Cafe Momentum's your kind of place. I picked CM for my birthday dinner, and all of us had the smoked fried chicken entree, and everyone just raved about it. The crab/spinach dip appetizer was also very tasty. We just love the people there and what they are accomplishing with at risk youth in our city. Can't wait to dine at their new location, coming at the end of this year in the Design District!

    Ok, I consider myself a foodie, and I love to travel far and wide for delicious food of all genres. On 11/4/26, a friend and I had a reservation at "Bluebonnet and Thyme," located at 2610 N Houston St., Dallas, TX. The atmosphere and ambiance were top-level. We chose the right time and day because the place wasn't crowded, and we got the full attention and vibe of the restaurant. My friend ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer, and I had the empanadas too (horrid shame). The pulled-pork empanadas with the pork gravy sauce and guacamole were, first of all, HUGE, and I received 2, but they were sooooooo flaky and good that I could have just melted right off the seat!! The deviled eggs were good, too. I also had a blueberry margarita in honor of democracy surviving the mid-term elections, and it was wonderful. But back to the meal... the entree came next. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast with red and green peppers, mushrooms, onions, and cheese that was big enough for 2, set on a bed of the best garlic mashed potatoes; I also had a side of mustard/collard greens with smoked turkey wings in them and a "Huge" cast iron skillet of butter sweet cornbread....my God!!! My friend had a large "salad"- sized bowl of Cajun pasta with jumbo shrimp, andouille sausage, and chicken that could have fed 4 people. We COULD NOT order any dessert and COULD NOT finish that meal!! IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! Hats off to Chef Kendall Williams & staff....I LOVE U 4 EVER!!!
