Best Fun Restaurants in Oak Cliff / Bishop Arts

Went for Valentines Dinner. Ambience is 5 stars. The staff are friendly and nice. The service was a little shaky with the servers or food runners forgetting or misplacing food orders. The appetizers and entree were ok, it was a pre fixe menu in anticipation of the high volume so that’s probably why it lacked that extra special touch. The fillet minon was cooked to perfection and came with broccolini and mushrooms. The dessert was disappointing, we ordered the tiramisu which was served late, but on a chocolate base but totally frozen inside. They had us try another lemon dessert and another strawberry one but they were all not convincing. I would love to give it another try when they are not as busy and order other items, but I’d give this experience a 3.8/5

I can’t get enough of this place at all. Great food, Great environment, Great Everything. I will admit I went 2-13-25 and my food was amazing until I got my southern fried chicken and it was too salty. BUT, they brought out another fresh order quickly, and it was perfect. This place is literally perfect!

It was truly a good dinner, the food was so delicious and everybody was so friendly. My server, Patty, was so nice and attentive and helped us out even with recommendations to eat since it was our first time there.

Service was excellent, and staff was friendly but not overbearing. Waters were refilled regularly, and we were reminded that happy hour would be ending in 30 minutes, so we could be sure to order another drink. I had the salmon with whipped potatoes and lemon capers. It was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious! My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich and said it was scrumptious! Fried to perfection! Our friends had the Reuben and steak sandwiches - both enjoyed their meal, but do note that the Reuben is a turkey Reuben - not my favorite way to make a Reuben, but apparently it was good. We even came back after we went to a play (go see Debbie Does Dallas if it’s still playing at Theatre Three) and had a night cap. The espresso martini was amazing, plus it was pretty! The noise level at dinner (5:30 dinner) wasn’t too high. We could easily converse with our friends. At the later hour, it was pretty noisy, but the vibe was still fun, and the service was top notch even with the larger crowd.

Way cool place in basement of Statler. Place was busy but bartenders and wait staff were working hard.
