I had a positively wonderful time at Petra and the Beast! The food is bold and experimental, yet extremely satisfying. Wonderful chic environment, excellent staff and service. Josh stood out as an especially knowledgeable, patient, and charming server. 10/10 View all feedback.
What Marlee Redeen doesn't like about Petra And The Beast:
Let me start off by saying I am a huge foodie and will eat just about anything. I had been looking at this place for over a year and was super excited. The food was just not good. I started off with the focaccia which is a loaf of uncut bread which is very hard to serve, with koji butter which is more like a sour cream. I got two pastas per the servers recommendation because I couldn’t really understand anything I wa... View all feedback.
An amazing restaurant! If you want something creative but also delicious and good portions, then come here. Haven't had imaginative food this tiny since Boia De in Miami. Got the pig tails, pork loin, pappardelle, egg noodles. Everything was so yummy! Rich, different textures and flavors within each dish. Reasonable price for high end restaurant and reservations aren't hard to get. Highly highly recommended, one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. Run here
We ate here for Father's Day brunch so I can't speak for the normal menu . I can say that the staff were kind and knowledgeable and that the food was excellent. The drink and brunch menu were creative. The food was fresh. I can't wait to return.
Unique dining experience. Came for brunch with a group of 6 on Sunday. Server (Jordan) was super cool. We all enjoyed her. We ordered all the mains and sides. Food comes out as it's ready which is nice because it's fresh, but also reduces chances of pairing the dishes. The bread pudding was the best! Almost like a chocolate brownie. Chef's kiss. Anecdote unrelated to my rating: I'm just not the biggest fan of this type of elevated cuisine, some people are. Just cause I'm not a fan doesn't mean this didn't live up to expectations in any way. This is more for people who may not be familiar so they know what they'll be getting into. Several times our group (consisting of people who are very into this) couldn't identify what dish was in the table unless Jordan did her great job telling us what it was. Look, the food tasted good and you can tell the craftsmanship and skill in preparation was 100% there. Just on some level if I'm going to brunch, I'd like to see a Benedict or hash, or biscuits and gravy. All of those can be elevated and executed delightfully. This was still a cool experience to go through.
Service was not attentive at all. It was not busy, especially for a Friday night. We would have ordered more food but the waiter was no where to be found. It took 30 minutes just to get our first cocktails and then another 20-30 mins to bring out the bottle of wine we ordered that we were waiting to enjoy with our meats and cheese. The cheese was bland. By the time we finally got our waiter’s attention to take our order we were not interested in waiting for snacks and noodles so just ordered the one entree on the menu because the waiter said it was going to take another 25 mins to come out and we needed something to finish our bottle of wine with. The entree was actually really delicious so I wish we would have had more time to try other house made items instead of wasting our time and pallet on the cheese and meats. Sadly the service was so inattentive we didn’t want to order more because of how long everything took just to put in our order. From time of ordering food it didn’t take too long so this was simply a service issue imo. We booked the reservation for our anniversary and that wasn’t even mentioned once until just before the check came out. He brought a candle on a plate. Nice gesture but sort of weird to just bring a candle on an empty plate. Also the weird dirty naked thrift store baby dolls on the shelf near the welcome desk need to go. We won’t be going back.
The food and the atmosphere was amazing… The servers explain each dish in great detail! Can’t wait to go again!
