   The chef came to our table and welcomed us. We had oysters that were delicious and hamburger and truffle fries! I can’t wait to go back! Pineapple margaritas were out of this world!

   The hostess in the front was a little rude but the vibes and food were SO good once we were seated!! We split the filet, fries, and bucatini and it was all delicious. Plan to come back to try more things on the menu!

   Genuinely the best restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time in dallas!!! Service was phenomenal, food was delicious, vibes were immaculate. It lived up to the hype and then some, which is rare these days! The only thing I would note, if you’re hard of hearing you may want to sit outside as it’s VERY loud since it’s an intimate space.

   Food and cocktails very disappointing. Generally love Vandelay concepts. Not interested in visiting again.

   A true French gem in the heart of Dallas. Do not sleep on the dessert!

   If I could give this restaurant 20 stars I would. This place was so amazing I rebooked it for Easter dinner while on the restaurant. I cannot wait to go back. Everything was thought of from the decor to the incredible bites. 10/10 experience.

    I had previous exceptional experiences. Last night we brought a friend to whom we had extolled the virtues and quality of bar sardine and had an embarrassing and negative experience. I had the escargot as an appetizer, and it was probably the best escargot I’ve ever had. I ordered the Seabass, which on prior visits was the best fish I had ever had and I recommended it to my friend who ordered it. The Seabass was so tough I had to send it back and our waiter was very gracious. We had tried to order the seafood tower, and the waiter told us that it was not available due to the poor quality of some of the seafood which made me wonder about the Seabass. My husband always orders steak tartare and he rated Bilbouquet first, Toulouse second and bar sardine third. We don’t see another reason to go back to bar sardine, which is unfortunate. I had such great hopes for this restaurant.  Also, it is very difficult to get a reservation here, and the noise level was so extreme that we found ourselves practically yelling across the table to carry on a conversation.
