The Colony Restaurants

Every dish we tried was amazing and the service was excellent. We asked to be in a quieter area and were sat on the 2nd floor patio which was a great ambience and bit quieter than being inside. However there were several families with toddlers and infants near us, some of whom were crying and being allowed by their parents to crawl the area freely. We wished the staff would have discouraged that. There was also a table sat immediately behind ours and there was no room behind either of our chairs (backs of our seats were up against eachother). That made it a bit uncomfortable and loud once that table was sat because the louder gentlemen with that group were essentially conversing right in our ears. Overall still worth it but that took it from being an excited 5 stars to a generously rounded up 5 stars due to the food and service.

Amazing restaurant! The traditional, family style dishes were amazing. The entire staff was awesome and very knowledgeable, friendly and conversational. Everything about the ambiance was perfect, including the music and the old Italian movies playing on the screen.

I loved my food. I questioned how a restaurant could make so many different things well, but I loved everything I ordered. I split a sushi roll, salad, and pasta with a friend. The value was great!

We’ve been to this thirsty lion multiple times and I feel it’s better than some of the other ones we visited in the DFW area. The only downside is it’s pretty loud, even when I’ve gone on a weekday, but we just expect it now. The service is great, and the food is amazing. Tasty and very fresh and always hot. I definitely recommend making a reservation because instead of having to wait an hour, our table was ready when we arrived at 7 o’clock on a Saturday night. 

I always have a great time here. Food and drinks is just amazing!
