Best Global Restaurants in Little Elm

The CREW 🖤 and I visited Trick Rider on February 15 for our Valentine’s Day celebration. There were five of us, and we all loved the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food. By the end of the night, we were already talking about when we’d be back. For entrées, we had a variety of options, including ribeye, filet, and oven-roasted chicken. Our sides—mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and broccolini—were all flavorful. The only critique from the group was that some dishes were a bit too salty. As for drinks, I had the “Lucky Guess”—a mix of tequila, lemon, and raspberry—and it was delicious. One of my friends ordered the “Spice of Life” but ended up returning it. It’s made with tequila, mezcal, pineapple juice, lemon, and jalapeño. I think the smoky taste from the mezcal just wasn’t their thing—personal preference. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but we knew that going in. For me, it’s a special occasion spot, maybe once a year, but some of the crew are already planning their next visit within the month! Overall, it was a win—everyone left smiling!

Food was amazing, loved the sushi and seafood mix as well. Had the tomahawk pork chop and thoroughly enjoyed it, my girlfriend had the truffle tortellini with blackened cajun spiced grilled chicken and love it as well. Also the crispy tofu rolls were satisfying and delicious and I was genuinely surprised how good they tasted. We’re definitely coming back here! Also the server was very polite and nice.

The Valentine special menu 5-course dinner was superb in every way. Each course was beautifully plated, professionally served, and provided a wonderful mix of flavors. We enjoyed it from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Dining here made us want to visit New Zealand for more fantastic food!

The Mercury is a go to for a 5* experience whether it's a casual night out on the town or a celebration. From the valet to dessert, always very good. We usually sent in the bar area and have appetizers and a drink. Last night we invited a couple to join us for dinner. Brandon was our server, ask for him - you will not be disappointed. We started with sushi appetizers, fantastic. Spicy Tuna roll sooooooo goooooood. Our friends shared a ribeye, my wife and I shared the salmon. Everything delicious. Definitely consistent and enjoyable on each visit.

First time diner here. The food was excellent. We had the Brussel Sprouts for an Appetizer. The Scottish salmon and the Mango Chicken were both excellent!
