The French Quarter - Richardson

I appreciate fine dining and don’t mind spending on quality cuisine, but this experience was disappointing. The prices were exorbitant, and the food fell flat. I ordered the fish and shrimp pasta, and the fish was excessively salty, making it inedible, plus there were only three shrimp in the entire dish. While I enjoyed the ambiance and vibe, it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night, with no live music or entertainment.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the stuffed salmon while he opted for the ribeye. Both dishes, along with our sides of greens, yams, and dirty rice, were exquisite. Our server, Deja, was incredibly friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning soon!

The restaurant has a beautiful interior and offers excellent service; however, they really need to improve their kitchen. I tried the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp were so tiny that I almost thought they were crawfish. Even if they were, they would still be on the smaller side. My husband ordered the fried chicken and waffles, but the first piece of chicken they served us was burnt. I can't believe they actually plated that and brought it to our table. When I asked for a different piece, that one was undercooked on the inside. Overall, the food is quite overpriced. The drinks were enjoyable, but still rather costly, and there is a 10% service charge added to all orders.

I live in Richardson and like to support local businesses so I thought I had the perfect opportunity by going out with my sweetheart and asking two other couples to join, made reservations for seven I had been there to look in prior so I had no problem finding it, mind you this is billed as fine dining, however my friends had to be walked in by phone because there is no signage. I had looked at the menu and knew what I wanted, the drinks are good but at a premium price, we each got a starter which came out promptly I got crab cakes that were the consistency of salmon croquettes no lump meat to be seen.when we were seated there was one other party four in the restaurant, so when our orders were taken we we’re hoping for a quick turnaround, our food came out piece meal, and how it was asked to be prepared was not observed, a steak was returned to be cooked more, and the easiest dish in my eyes came last, a pasta dish, all the food was heavily salted, most went uneaten. Our server asked about our experience and was told and her remedy was desert on her, but who wants the possibility of more disappointing after so much disappointment already. At this point the manager on duty was called upon and I’m sure I was heard because I gave this honest opinion, but I don’t think I was listened to, I will never be back and this is the worst experience of fine dining.

Fine dining is not accurate. Fine dining does not have a limited menu. Nor does it not serve all the items being advertised. They had no oxtail avail or fried shrimp even though it's on the listed sunday menu. Also their website does not tell you they dont serve regular dinner items on sundays. You can only order from brunch menu which is very very limited and overpriced items that I can get anywhere else cheaper . We had server ask if we can get any dinner items as we had just seen them seve the stuffed salmon and shrimp to other patrons. But was told no. Well We left not worth the drive, the price nor is it fine dining
