Coal Vines - Dallas

We were disappointed when we arrived and they had no record of our Open Table reservation. Fortunately, they were able to seat us. Not sure where the communication broke down, as we had confirmation from you that we had reserved a table.

We were allowed to pick our table so we decided on the quieter side, talking is much easier. That was nice. Our waiter, however, was not good. We asked where the mussels were obtained. Answer: Sysco. Like Sysco the food/restaurant supplier, not North Atlantic or similar. The answer felt as though we were being mocked. This is not the kind of attitude needed in a good waiter. No tip.

Most customers come for the pizza. Nothing wrong with that. Having had pizza the night before, we all went for their other dinner choices. I had their cod piccata. Others selected the Shrimp risotto and salmon. WOW. The results were excellent. The true test for me is this. On my next visit, would I order the same dish again. Answer is yes. We have come here many times and will be back for sure.

Staff was very accommodating even though we showed up earlier than the reservation.

It was a great time with family of 5! Our waiter, Alex, was top notch and gave the best customer service! What an asset to Coal Vines!! We will be back!
