    This is like my fourth time at Zatar, and it’s a wonderful place to have a lovely dinner before the Broadway Dallas show. I’ve never seen it very busy, so it’s nice and quiet for table discussions. My friend and I are in love with the Brussels sprouts, tabouli, and every entree we’ve had has been so tasty.

    Starting off, the craft cocktails we amazing, and our server was able to make suggestions to change the type of alcohol in a drink since I don’t like bourbon. For appetizers we had Scarlet Bites and the Elote dip. The bites were crispy with enough sauce to add spice, but not drown them. Served with a Boursin Ranch that I didn’t need, but it was so good you need to try it. The elote dip was creamy with lots of flavor! I could eat it with a spoon, but the chips they serve with it adds to the goodness! I had the stuffed poblano and my wife had the short ribs. Everything was cooked perfectly with lots of flavor! My taste buds were overjoyed. I will be back.

    Had a really nice time and enjoyed the ambience. My wife and I just moved across the street and will probably make this a regular spot. The service was exceptional. And my wife really enjoyed the cocktail menu.
