Best Live Music Restaurants in South Dallas

My family was able to book a last minute reservation at Swank on the weekend, nonetheless. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a smile and promptly seated. The restaurant was able to accommodate my 3 year old son with a booster seat. The chef made some items for my son, who is a very picky eater. The food was amazing. My wife and I had the spinach dip, and the Italian egg rolls. The egg rolls were savory and quite delicious (10/10). For the main entree we had the lasagna and the lamb chops which were both very flavorful. The lasagna had a nice twist to it with the added pesto which was served in a small cast iron skillet. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and served on a bed of mashed potatoes. I also had a cocktail - old fashioned with woodford reserve. Very tasty. All in all, our experience was great. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you for making this family of three feel welcome from start to finish.

We visited to celebrate the man’s birthday. We arrived early since we planned to visit a couple of other places afterward. When we got there, it was fairly empty, but it didn’t stay that way for long. The space is really spacious. We dined in the main dining room, and the service was excellent. The host, servers, and manager were all very friendly. For appetizers, we ordered the wagyu pigs in a blanket and pepperoni and sausage pizza. I had a shot of tequila, while the man enjoyed an Old Fashioned and an IPA. The appetizers were delicious. I couldn’t decide if I liked the honey mustard crème sauce that came with the pigs in a blanket, but I definitely enjoyed them without the sauce. For our main dishes, we had the roasted salmon and steak frites. The salmon had a perfectly crispy top layer and was cooked to a perfect medium. It was delicious! It came with butternut squash farro, which I wasn’t sure how I felt about, but it was interesting. The steak frites were flavorful and also cooked to a perfect medium. Very tasty. Unfortunately, we had no room left for dessert. We spent about $190, including the tip. After we paid, we went to check out the rooftop. It was stunning—spacious, with tables and seating perfectly arranged to showcase the beautiful city skyline and lights. We grabbed two more drinks at the bar and soaked in the view, spending another $35 with tip. We would definitely return and plan to opt for rooftop dining next time. Highly recommend!

Anna was amazing! She knows her stuff and the staff was really fantastic at making you feel valued. The food selection is one of the best at an upscale restaurant. The have everything from seafood to beef Wellington and lamb. The tater tot app is very good and worth the value. Best Beef Wellington I’ve had to date as well! We will be back!

We had a wonderful meal at Stella Cucina last night. The service was excellent, our waitress Erin was exceptional. Very knowledgeable about the menu , had nice suggestions and was so nice . The food was nicely spaced out and we didn’t feel rushed . We shared the PB&J to start which was fresh sliced prosciutto, burata and fig jam . The app was good sized and so delicious. It was definitely better with the house bread than the bread sticks, but that’s just my opinion. I had the spaghetti with shrimp and my husband had the vongole special . Both were delicious. Fresh homemade pasta cooked perfectly, again a good size portion. We shared the tiramisu for dessert which was very light and not too sweet, could have used a few more lady fingers but overall very tasty. The cocktails and wines were lovely as well. The menu is a bit pricey, but I guess every restaurant seems to be pricey these days. Good for a special occasion, which this was my birthday .

Rustic is always great. Live music and great food
