Best Casual Restaurants in Deep Ellum

This place did not let me down. The waitstaff was great, the food was amazing and it wasn't overcrowded. Will go again!

I had an amazing evening at Scarlet last night. The combination of outstanding food, exceptional service, and a vibrant atmosphere made for an unforgettable experience. Hannah’s cocktail-making skills are top-notch, adding to the overall charm of the evening. I highly recommend Scarlet for anyone looking for great drinks, delicious food, and a fantastic time!

I come to Niwa weekly and there’s a reason I always keep coming back! Joe, Steven, Alex and Angel are always wonderful and pay close attention to my allergies. The food is fantastic and not overpriced. Jimmy has stopped by my table a few times on separate occasions and is always an absolute gem to talk to. The food, staff and ambiance are 1000/10 and I will always recommend this place to everyone I know! If you can’t make up your mind when looking at the menu a few of my favorites are the filet, hanger steak, 44 farms short rib, pork jowl, zucchini, mushroom medley, ajitama eggs, wagyu deviled eggs and you can’t leave without getting a bag of the spicy OG Wagyu Boyz beef jerky, it is to die for!

Always a good experience with staff, valet parking available, food is always fresh, location is close to downtown. Nice boutique hotel surrounding the eatery. Enjoy the craft cocktails.

The event Friday night was very lively and the DJ was great. We enjoyed ourselves on the rooftop and the servers were awesome. I also felt very safe with all the security measures taken inside and outside the restaurant.
