Restaurants near Bright Leaf State Natural Area

Josephine house did it right! This sweet spot was an upscale yet cozy setting for a chilly day off brunch. The breakfast croissant sandwich was delicious, flaky and fresh. The Nutella bun was so good it was rude! 😁 The Ricotta pancakes were soft & flavorful without being too sweet. Note cheap but you could taste the quality in even bite!

I don’t usually give reviews only if it’s really bad as in to warn people or when it’s really good. Well Este was amazing. Just felt welcomed. Our server was very knowledgeable, personable and confident. Had the sombra margarita and I can say it was the best margarita I have ever had. Smoky, not too sweet, perfect balance of flavors: a pleasure to drink. (Also am not a drinker but I love a good drink to sip over dinner) We had the Este ceviche. Amazing. Other two dishes. All were very well balanced, light, light in salt which was refreshing for a restaurant in Texas. My stomach and soul felt light and happy! Great experience.

Went here for my birthday celebration and it was absolutely amazing! One of the prettiest restaurants i’ve ever been to and the surprised us with a birthday dessert! Great service and the food was amazing! It was loud when we went because they had a dj so beware if that’s not your thing.

We had a wonderful early Valentines date at Verdad. We had hoped for a quiet, intimate table, but this is not the set up for this restaurant. But…..DO NOT STOP READING THIS REVIEW!!! We were seated at a window table in the bar area, and were blown away by the experience. Our server was very pleasant, knew the menu well and presented each item with such flare and creativity! The food and drinks were beyond amazing. It was a pleasantly memorable experience that I highly recommend.

First time here - food and service was great. Had the special Valentine’s dinner course which was very nice. Will be back for sure to try more options and specials!
