- DDelilahDallas - Fort Worth •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy sweetheart and I went to celebrate his birthday today (his birthday is on Christmas Day). Overall, it was a nice dinner, a bit pricey for two people and small portions. I had the tortellini, and you don’t get much even for the Sinner option and could’ve been cooked a little longer, but it wasn’t bad. We also had the short ribs, and they were very tender and would recommend them. The broccolini was good and the mac & cheese was decent. For his birthday, we selected the cheesecake, and that was really good. Our server was great. It’s a nice spot for a date night and low-key birthday dinner. Great ambience, but it did get busy for Christmas Eve and the noise level was a little high, but overall we enjoyed it.More infoThe Saint Italian SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.7
- TTameikaDallas - Fort Worth •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI was able to pre celebrate my birthday. The area was very nice, ambience was great. Loved the playlist while everyone and Jame and eat while still having class. Food was surprisingly great although not hot as I would like but no major complaints. Drinks were great as well. Our waiter was excellent and even surprised me with a birthday dessert and sparklers which I was not expecting. I will return back for sure. I initially was scheduled to have my dinner on that Saturday but was cancelled with no notice so I did have to call and find out why which the young lady was able to tell me that someone had booked the entire restaurant. It would have been nice if the reason could have been included or a posting on one of the social media accounts … and then perhaps some type of accommodation or free item for the inconvenience.More infoPaparazzi ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6
