After my first experience last night, I felt like I found a gem. The food options were diverse and delicious, portions were great, service was excellent and quick, and the vibe was on point. The place is very intimate, and I love it! I felt almost like I was coming to the chef and his wife’s house (the owners). They were so gracious, and I feel every part of this restaurant was thoughtfully executed. Will definitely be returning.

Glad to have found this restaurant in Dallas. I can't even think of any similar place around. UNIQUE CUISINE.First of all, dishes are built by chef.Secondly: they are built with sense.You can notice it, for example, in the sauce of each plate, where there may be a bunch of sauce, but it's not boring or overwhelming, all ingredients are perfectly integrated to make every bite smooth and exceptional.We ordered the Pulpo (octopus), Prawns with Papas and the magical Carne Asada.Delicious - 10 out of 10.Looking forward to come back as soon as possible.Not cheap, but not too expensive either. Happy to pay for this food and service. I would say around $50 per capita.Restaurant is small but so nice and cozy atmosphere.Even the margaritas are great!!!

Cozy Neighborhood Restaurant - Daily Menu Updates - Fantastic Service - No Reservations Taken - Arrive as close to 5:30pm to be seated in a timely manner - On this Friday night, outstanding were MRK’s “PEI Mussels” & “Lamb Chops”!

Red snapper was cooked perfectly and wine suggestion by the server was spot on to compliment. If you are looking for a low key, intimate location to dine, this is the restaurant for you!

Mor and Christine have built and setup an amazing place that I will absolutely go back too! The food is amazing, you have to try the mussels! The menu is well curated and has a great fusion of styles and varieties that covers your carnivores to your vegetarians. I went there on a date and we both left happier than we came in!

So glad that we had friends recommend this restaurant. Mo and Kathryn were great hosts. Everything we tried was excellent. We loved the mussels and octopus especially. Cauliflower and prawns were also very good. Sauces and broths were perfect. Great depth of flavors. Excellent wine choices at good price points. Next time we will sit outside to enjoy the nice weather. Thanks again for a great meal. We will definitely be back!

Went here on a weeknight whim and we’re so glad to have discovered this gem! We got 4 items and every bite had amazing depth. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Everything bit is made from scratch and changes seasonally. Tiny restaurant so get reservations if you can!

Fabulous! Our favorite starters were the Cristal Blue Prawns and the PEI Mussels in Coconut Milk. Definitely take them up on the side of bread so you can soak up the broth from both. Our favorite entree was the Pollo a la Plancha. The chicken was so tender and the mashed potatoes were decadent. Will definitely visit again soon.

Quaint spot in an older home with a culinary-focused menu.Not much to the ambiance and the waiter that served us was a bit hurried. The wine list is tiny but good. We were sat immediately next to the bathroom which was not ideal. Seating is either a cold metal chair or a wooden bench. We had the fried cauliflower with aioli, blistered peppers in fish sauce, beet salad, and nopales salad. The salads stole the show. Very well balanced and creative.Although the food was good, I probably won’t be back.

Tried the octopus. Agree with previous reviews. Really good. Pork belly and meatball appetizers are really good too. Carne asada is an excellent entree to share. Last but not least the flan is unique in a good way.
