Best Family Style Restaurants in Oak Cliff / Bishop Arts

If you get past the unfortunate bouncer of a hostess, the food and service are well worth the experience. Make sure you make a reservation ahead of time. Even if there’s lots of seats open on Open Table. The hostess would not let me in otherwise. The food and cocktails were outstanding and pretty nice plating for such a busy place. Flavors are complex (in a great way, well balanced). I highly recommend

A truly unique, up scale experience with Mexican fare and delicious drinks. The tequila and mezcal list was extensive, and the dining was one of a kind. The menu is not long, but what they serve is done so well. A little pricey for the portion size. Highly recommend for a unique and upscale dining experience. I will be back next time I’m in the Dallas Design District.

Simply amazing… obviously. 10/10 recommend!!!!!

Dolce Riviera was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the staff was very professional, particularly the manager and waiter. The arancini antipasti was topped with fresh, seasoned arugula, doubling as appetizer and palate cleanser. For entree, I had the gnocchi with salmon; creamy and perfectly cooked, it was the real-deal of northern Italian dishes. Dolce is definitely the type of place you can take that special someone for a luxury experience. If you're looking for the next Italian fine-dining experience, Dolce is the place for you.

First off, great food and service. There are two valets, one for tango room and the other for carbone, we accidentally used the one for tango, but the valet didn’t make an issue of it and took the car anyways. Upon entering, there truly is no difference between carbone and vino other than limited menu and decoration. The “two different restaurants” are split by large potted / fake plants. I suppose the distinction allows for quicker service (for what is known as an already slow spot) either way the food was good. Bar is a typical mainstream bar. If you are a tequila aficionado, best they have is Lalo (from what I saw from my seat without getting up and studying the bar) and if you are reading this, 1942 and Clase Azul is NOT good tequila. But their wine list is expansive. If you’re in to that. We took a pizza to go for Super Bowl Sunday. Our waitress, who I think was named Mackenzie was amazing. And our bar back / second server was a Hispanic female that was also very attentive. Also, don’t let the “business casual” dress code listed fool you. There were people there with fresh off the golf course attire, men with By Way of Dallas bomber jackets and jeans / collar shirt throughout. Just don’t look messy and you should be fine getting in.
