Front Room Tavern

Crema's Take

“Front Room Tavern trades on its mid-century modern aesthetic and cocktail program—the bartenders can make a solid old fashioned—but the kitchen is consistently unreliable, with burnt fries and poorly executed entrees showing up regularly despite a full menu. Service is slow even when the dining room is nearly empty, and the wait times don't match what you're actually getting on the plate. Unless you're going strictly for drinks and the vibe, the food quality and pacing make it hard to recommend over other Dallas options.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late.

Heard this place is good for both brunch and for dinner so this review is for dinner and specifically during restaurant week. So my thought is restaurant week is still the same food and no smaller portions. With that in mind, the entree at this place was a bit too small for me.…
