Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Carrollton

This was our second visit. We loved it the first time and decided to celebrate Valentines here. All of the staff were very friendly, the food has consistently been impeccable, and the decor is stunning yet comfortable at the same time. I had the Arugula Mista salad and Ravioli Burro & Salvia. It is divine! My husband had steak and said it was delicious as well. The service was a bit slow, but it as Valentines weekend and packed so that is to be expected. Plus our server acknowledged it and kept apologizing. It is a bit pricey but totally worth it for a special occasion. This is a case of “you get what you pay for”. I have recommended to friends. We will definitely be back again!

I had a reservation for Valentine's Day and they sat me about 10mins after I arrived. It was very crowded so I was happy with that. The food was delicious and the service was pretty good. I got the grass fed beef tenderloin and my wife got the ancient grains bowl. Everything was prepared really well and tasted very good. The ambiance was busy but not out of control. I like it a little loud anyway so you can't hear everyone's conversation. It was a nice night.

We went to Thirsty Lion on Valentine’s Day, which was yesterday. We had the Valentine’s Day specials. The shrimp was amazing and my salmon was so good. There was a pairing of wine, white or red with our meals. I believe Ashton was our server. She is actually going to school and working two days a week and was very nice. We enjoyed visiting with her! We made a reservation for 3 o’clock since we were on our way and were afraid that we would not get in for their special! We love this location in The Colony, highly recommend! Just remember that they do not have happy hour on holidays!

Mitchell was wonderful, and so was the man who first seated us! I didn’t catch his name, but he was great and made sure everything was perfect.

The entire experience was great. Well balanced drinks, attentive server, the manager brought us our food and gave us some ideas on what to do in Irving. The parking was a little over the top, if you don’t read carefully you can pay some enormous fees, but if you park in the garage directly behind the restaurant they will validate parking.
