Did a revisit with co-workers after a year of not stepping in.

Great food that night that ended in a total of $250. or so. DAYUM PEOPLE!!!

Other than atmosphere, TAKE IT TO BLUE FISH.

Scene totally trump DFM. I had high hopes for this place but it hasn't happened yet.

I can get better seafood elsewhere, but hope springs eternal.

Well, this can only be a partial review because I've only been in the bar area and had the sliders.

Good for bar food...but it's still BAR FOOD.

Wine selection is done on a electronic tablet- rather novel. Very limited by the glass slection. Just ok.

Going to have to come back for the "sit down" version.

Great atmosphere but much smaller than expected after the Vegas location.

We'll see.

I have had several meals here: both dinner and lunch.

Ok, so it was the two hour power lunch... excellent for food and service. Very good wine selection.

I've had both steak and fish dishes and find no fault yet.

One of my favs. And...OMG, order the coconut cream pie: simply one of the BEST desserts in Dallas.

Craft(Kraft)

Last Friday took in Craft after Stars game with party of 4.

Kinda did a tapas type order of: noodles with truffle oil, potatoes gratin, fries, stuffed tortellini and pot of spare rib.

Ok, so we were doing the "comfort food" thang....but no comfort came.

Truffle taste totally overwhelmed. The potatoes were Kraft from a box. The stuffed tort was about the highlight- just ok and the so called "signature" meat was served in a little black kettle, uncut, chewy, fatty and low on the root vegetables. Very awkward to cut in the kettle.... no plate was given nor did the server offer to do anything toward properly serving this dish.

Very disappointing after my experience at XYZ at the W San Francisco.

Doubt I'll be back....although I did have a very nice brunch here last year.

OMG!!! What a wonderful surprise!!!

Decided to try the place after a recommendation from someone who had only been here for dessert... and said outstanding.

Okaaayyy... so I find my party and I at St Martin for Christmas Eve dinner- prix fixe(d) menu.

To start, the champagne and brie soup is absolute perfection. If you make it to nothing else...this is the one.

The stuffed pork tenderloin was also very good. Raves came for the beef bourguignon as well.

The desserts"worth waiting for" in order of choice:

Chocolate mousse, Chocolate pecan pie, cheese cake

The atmosphere is intimate with old world appointment and always "live"colorful entertainment on the piano.

St.Martin is now a new favorite over on Greenville.

Wasn't impressed. Caesar salad was "Albertson's grade" as DC said. The White Special really wasn't...I added chicken and spinach but it still didn't help.

Nice little place but I don't get the facination as the food is average at best.
