Best Family Style Restaurants in Irving

We had a lovely holiday lunch with friends at Knife in the Ritz. Starting with a delicious Margarita Pizza from the Italian menu then moving on to a classic Caesar salad topped with wild salmon. A side of scrambled eggs stirred with jalapeños & chives finished the meal. The room was filled with families in town for the Cowboys game and therefore a bit noisy. Coping was very easy however as we were Sheparded through our courses by Kyle our expert server.

We have decided to make The Mexican our go-to for our Christmas celebration with one of our best friends from now on. We started at the bar for a cocktail before we were seated in the beautiful main dining room. Our server, Josa (sp?) was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He pointed out the customer favorites for all parts of the menu. We started with ceviche and queso fundido for our starters, and we had the trio of enchiladas, the ribeye steak, and tacos for the main. We wanted to share everything and Josa did the honors of separating the starters and the mains onto three dishes. As we were finishing our first course, a tequila sommelier came to our table who gave us a mini course on the correct way to taste tequila. Free, interesting, and fun! We finished with the Quatro Leche cake for dessert which was delicious. All in all, one of the best dining experiences for me in the last three years. It’s not cheap, however. All in, dinner and cocktails were north of $700 for the three of us. But, we said we’d definitely do it again. Thanks all for a memorable evening!

From the moment I walked into Radici, I knew this was going to be something special, but I could never have imagined just how unforgettable the experience would be. Everything—from the drinks to the food to the service—was beyond top-notch. The attention to detail and the quality of every single element was extraordinary. What truly set this apart was being in close proximity to the chef and owner. Their passion, creativity, and genuine warmth transformed an incredible meal into something absolutely magical. You can feel the love and craftsmanship in every bite, every sip, and every interaction. This is, without question, my favorite restaurant, and I’m already planning to be a regular. I can’t wait to come back and relive this one-of-a-kind dining experience. Radici is an absolute gem. Do yourself a favor—go.

Best birthday dinner I have ever had! The ambiance the food the service everything was 5 star. I will be back!

We had the pleasure of dining at Mesa Mezcal on Thanksgiving and the entire experience was great! From the service to the ambiance and the delicious food - our holiday was truly made special. I also really enjoyed how the meal was served family-style at the table. It felt like being at home.
