The team behind the Carbone restaurants that are now dazzling Dallas isn’t just about Italian. Their sparkling Sadelle’s in Highland Park Village is a New York deli — but hardly your typical one, which is why it stands out. Smoked salmon and sturgeon and deli sandwiches? Sure. But breakfast tacos, caviar, and Asian skirt steak, too.Sadelle’s is a modern ode to New York’s classic tradition of all-day dining. Since opening its first location in the heart of SoHo in 2016, the brand has reached iconic status thanks to its urbane, celebratory atmosphere and a menu of hits, including the best bagels in America. Among its many accolades, Sadelle’s was named an essential brunch destination by Harper’s BAZAAR and Cosmopolitan, and its sticky buns were ranked one of the Best Dishes of 2015 by The New York Times. Sadelle’s currently has outposts in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Paris, Boca Raton, and Dallas. The restaurant is named after MFG Co-Founder Jeff Zalaznick’s great grandmother.

    Morton's never disappoints - another outstanding dining experience. The warm onion bread was soft and delicious. Everyone loved the superb piping hot French Onion Soup. The filet mignon and ribeye were tender, seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Cajun spiced lobster tail was succulent and tasty. The loaded baked potato was a perfect accompaniment. Our server Jarrett provided excellent service. We last dined at our hometown Morton's approximately a year ago and the consistency is always the same. We would definitely dine here and/or at any other Morton’s location around the country.

    Food was excellent! Great location with room to breathe and good parking. Our sever Yania disappeared after first hour. She never came back to check on us throughout our meal. We had to flag her down each time. She also wanted our party of eight to order all of our apps entrees and sides at once. when we insisted to start with apps first she was visibly not happy about it. It’s odd since I’ve been to the lovers one location and we never were asked to order all at once so it’s easier on the kitchen. Feels like that is an operational motion the restaurant needs to handle and not the customers. That really dampened our otherwise positive food and service experience.
