Overall:

My first evening at the Old Warsaw resassured me that fine dining has not completely dissapeared.
For our aniversary, my husband and I were hoping to find a romantic environment, and the violinist and pianist really knew how to set the mood. We rather enjoy a good wine, but are no experts, we asked our waiter to help us pick something out. The wait staff was able to not only find a wine that complimented my sea bass and husband's lobster plate, but also a wine that excited the pallet. The atmosphere allowed the two of us to really enjoy each other's company, without all of the intrusion of a loud restaurant. It was truly refreshing to be able to enjoy a nice drink after dinner, without feeling so rushed to leave.
The Old Warsaw is truly an oasis, and I don't think we'll be waiting until next year to return.

Overall:

My Fiance and I had the priviledge to experience a more than wonderful evening at The Old Warsaw Restaurant. When we heard that this restaurant had the best French-Continental cuisine that the metroplex had to offer, we knew that we had to try it ourselves. When we arrived, we were greeted by a gentle valet man and escorted to a beautiful candle-lit dining room where a violinist and pianist filled the restaurant with the most pleasing live music. Our 5-course dinner began with the Lobster Bisque for me and the brie cheese soup for my fiance. The taste and creamy texture of both were exquisite. Next, I had the Old Warsaw Salad and my fiance had the greek salad, which to him was the best salad he ever had. oUr appetizers consisted of the Lobster cocktail and crab cake. The fresh, top-qualit seafood in our appetizers was superb! My fiance ad I could only anxiously await what more flavors the Old Warsaw would be able to offer when we were pleasantly surprised at the moment we tasted the subtle sweetness of made-from-scratch sorbet. An instant later, we were presented with our main entrees. I had the rib eye while my fiance had the lobster thermidor. Both entrees were prepared to perfection and there was no doubt that the utmost attention was paid to the most minor of details. Once again we were amazed at how delicious everything tasted. Our evening could only be topped with the most excellent desserts. I found the bananas foster, made tableside, to be irresistible, and my fiance loved her chocolate souffle. After such a fantastic evening, there is no wonder why this first-class restaurant has been around for 58 years, it is exceptional!

Overall:

We had just returned from France - our first trip to Europe! We were staying at the Maple Manor Hotel! We wanted to continue our French adventure! The concierge at the Maple Hotel recommended this restaurant and we were very pleased that he did! We felt like we were back in France again!! Very pretty, quaint country French atmosphere, attentative staff and wonderful food. We can't wait to go back! Have a nice bottle of wine with dinner, and don't forget dessert!

Review by Amanda Hiers
Overall:

Wow, what can I say? Nothing short of the perfect recreation of what heaven on earth would be....

Everything was exceptional. I am a little surprised about the couple of negative reviews. Maybe it was an off night, or they were at a different restaurant.....but please don't judge by those 1 or 2 bad reviews when you compare to the dozens of excellent reviews. I was hesitant at first about driving 40 minutes out of the way, but I trusted my gut. Most of the reviews were good, so we thought we would take a shot. Boy, am I glad we did ! :-)

The menu is full of many classic french dishes, escargot, foie gras, and souffle. The wine pairings were remarkably on point. The souffles were exquisite.

A feel of a country home in the south of France, the staff make you feel like family and are so pleasant.The Old Warsaw has now earned a permanent place on my list of favorite restaurants. Not many make that list ! I will definitely be back. :-)

Overall:

My family and I went to the Old Warsaw when we were in Dallas last week. My wife is from France, so we are avid connoisseurs of French food. I will certainly not be the first to tell you that the quality of food you receive at the Old Warsaw is superb. I especially enjoyed the Escargot, and the Dover Sole.
The service is also top notch. Everyone, from the valet to the bus boys, are very amenable, and will go to great lengths to ensure your requests are met.
The violinist and pianist, combined with the candlelit tables, makes this restaurant one of the most romantic in the Dallas area. We will definitely be returning the next time we come to Dallas.

Overall:

Absolutely the best we tried on a recent trip to Dallas. So good, in fact, that we made reservations before we left and went back the next night. Go hungry.
Review by Allen Ramirez
Overall:

We went expecting amazing food, and were not disappointed. The most amazing thing was the level of service. Too often top restaurants drop the ball with respect to service and/or are overly stuffy. Not here, we were truly made to feel like we were the most important customers they had, and we were only 2 people and, on a Saturday night. I have never seen such complete service. The only complaint - too much food! We were stuffed. It is quite an experience and should not be missed.
Review by Ashlee Fraiser
Overall:

I live in Dallas and this is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the metroplex. The food is creative, well prepared, and beautifuly presented. The wine list was excellent as one would expect. The service was undisputably impeccable and the ambiance delightful.
