By far one of the best restaurants in Dallas. The food was fresh, creative, inspiring and interesting. The service was above and beyond! Our waiter, Luis, asked for our names and he remembered them throughout the meal. He suggested an appropriate amount of food and perfect mix for tasting through the menu. His passion for service and the restaurant overflowed from him. Our party of 4 agreed that we hadn’t had service like that in a very long time. What an INCREDIBLE experience at El Carlos Elegante.
