    Four and service were outstanding Ellie was our server and he was great the entire staff was very friendly and accommodating the wine sommelier was very knowledgeable and provided great service . The General Manager visited our table several times as well as all other tables. They prepared a special dinner for our grand daughter and had a very nice Birthday cake for my wife. The restaurant is very beautiful and very well laid out. Live jazz band was great and the in-house music was upbeat and energetic and perfect Valium level. Over all experience was outstanding definitely will be back and recommend to everyone. Great value. Five stars all the way.

    We are from out of town and needed a place to eat on Thanksgiving. Meddlesome Moth offered a Thanksgiving special that was both delicious and affordable. The ambiance was relaxing and felt high-end without being unwelcoming. Would return here again if I am in Dallas again.

    While still a good dining experience, I was expecting much more. I felt it was vastly overpriced and their signature dishes (Chicken Parmesan and Pasta Vodka) left a lot to be desired. Service was extremely courteous, but excruciatingly slow. It’s good to go and check off the box, but I won’t be frequenting.
