    We are from out of town and needed a place to eat on Thanksgiving. Meddlesome Moth offered a Thanksgiving special that was both delicious and affordable. The ambiance was relaxing and felt high-end without being unwelcoming. Would return here again if I am in Dallas again.

    Food was exceptional, however, our steaks were not hot at all. They were like warm. The service was great, excellent too, however the server said the desert was on him because he forgot my wife’s wine, but it as in our bill. He also had them bring out the onion soup for us, after I asked about it but didn’t order, and it was also on our bill. We ended up paying for them and not asking to take it off because he was very busy. All in all, it was a great first experience, and we’ll be back. Just be careful to check your bill if the server says he’s getting you some things on him/her.

    Treated my wife to a day date. From the moment we walked in, the hostess at the host stand was welcoming and our server Jordan was outstanding with his recommendations. I had the Chicken Parm with the vodka sauce and my wife had the blackened pork chops. We both were surprised at the large portions. The ambience was very inviting. Our only negative review would be the dessert. We wanted the chocolate cake fondue to be warmer and we thought it was too rich. We couldn’t finish it. It was delicious but way too rich for us. Overall, great value, tasty menu and great service. We can’t wait to go back.
