Upon arrival, I was greeted promptly and seated almost immediately. The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere everything appeared clean and well-maintained with no clutter.

I ordered the spicy shrimp tacos, which came with a verde sauce and corn, along with a cocktail from the top of the menu. The meal was served hot with a nice balance of flavors and the cocktail was excellent.

My server, though new, provided attentive and pleasant service. However, the utensils at my table were dirty and even after requesting replacements, the next two spoons provided were also unclean. I eventually asked for plastic utensils instead.

Overall, I would rate my experience 3 out of 5 stars. The food and service were enjoyable, but the repeated issue with dirty utensils detracted from what could have been a great dining experience.

For a Saturday night, this place was surprisingly quiet. It felt like a hidden gem in the heart of Frisco—beautifully decorated, welcoming, and intimate.

Our server was kind and attentive, and he made several solid recommendations, including from the dessert menu after dinner.

To start, we had the bacon and eggs (deviled eggs) and the lobster jar. Both were delectable! I don’t think any restaurants serve deviled eggs with the balance of sweet and savory that I prefer and make, but the million dollar bacon helps to make up for the lack of sweet in the egg filling. The lobster was perfectly cooked—velvety and buttery, with a hint spice—and it was paired with the perfect bread.

For dinner, we had the carbonara pasta and the salmon, both of which were pretty good. My only issue with the salmon was that the menu description mentioned it was cooked in a butter sauce and served over risotto—I subbed the avocado risotto for veggie risotto per our server’s suggestion—but the salmon was so HEAVILY drizzled with some kind of balsamic sauce, that it overpowered an otherwise solid dish. Next time I would order the same thing and ask that they hold the sauce. If they are committed to keeping this sauce, they should avoid the zebra-like design and do a very LIGHT drizzle, and it would be great!

Finally, we got a slice of red velvet and a slice of caramel coconut pecan cake to go. I’m not big on sweets but both cakes had the most amazing flavors—superb, really!

Overall, it was a nice and unexpected experience, and I appreciate their willingness to accommodate most any substitution. We will definitely come back, though I do agree with some others that the pricing does not match the experience.

Went in with no expectations, didn’t even look at the menu. Good patio, good interior decor and friendly service. We ordered off the happy hour menu and it went until 6 which was a good time for us. Our favorites were the steak tacos and the sliders. Also really liked the dip trio. Would come back again soon.

We had not been here for dinner in a while, we usually go for brunch, which is very good. Well, for dinner, I was shocked at the prices. They raised the prices $3+ on EVERYTHING since last year. Truffle fries were $13, now they are $16. Tuna ahí salad was $25, now $28. My son has pasta carbonara with chicken and went from $30 to $33. Pasta!!!! The food was good, but in my opinion, not worth the new prices. We were 3 and paid $135 + tip on top for the 3 of us, with 1 appetizer and 1 glass of wine aside our entree. No dessert. The staff was overall attentive, and the setting and ambiance, particularly when you sit outside, are always fantastic. They had some music Friday night when we sat in the very charming patio, it was very nice. So it’s a tradeoff of food vs price vs atmosphere. Will come back again, but maybe just for happy hour or brunch.

My husband and I made a reservation for Valentine”s Day a month out. We arrived promptly and only had to wait a few minutes for our table. There were two ladies in workout wear that walked in in front of us without a reservation. They were told to check the speak easy for a place to sit as there were no tables available. We were seated very closely to two other tables of two with two open tables for 2 near the window (not in a walkway as we were). I politely asked if we could be moved to one of the other tables and was rudely told by the very young hostess wearing a skirt that barely covered her behind that those tables were reserved for people with reservations. That made no sense to me how two tables who had no guests were to be seated in tables when I was there and was asking for us to be moved. The conversation went no where and I asked for a manager. Upon sitting the couple to my right said they had asked the same thing when they had arrived at 5:30 and those tables had been sitting empty since they arrived. I was appalled and again had to ask to see the manager. They then seated the two ladies who came in in workout wear in front of us at one of those tables! I was like “oh heck no!” We were never moved. The ladies sat there for a good 30-45 minutes drinking a cheap bottle of Prosecco which you can get in the grocery store for less than $20. The menu also turned out to be a fixed menu and when I asked about that, I was informed that everyone had been called that day and informed. When I told the manager that I had no received a phone call about the limited menu, she shrugged it off.

I loved Bonnie Ruth’s. This place has kept the same menu, so I can only assume that some of the players are the same. This was such an awful experience that I will never be back. The couple next to us also felt like they had equally been treated badly. Your team is subpar. Your food is still good, but the management and FOH staff need a major overhaul. This was one of the worst Valentine’s Day dining experiences I have ever had and it was bad enough to turn me off forever.

My wife has been here a few times and really enjoys it. I went with her for the first time a few days ago and liked my meal. I had the jalapeño popper flatbread with cream cheese (fair warning: the fresh jalapeños were very hot!) and my wife ordered the steak frites, which she loves. The portions are generous, though the prices are on the higher side. There’s also a little hidden bar attached, which is a nice touch. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and the food, and my wife will keep coming back with her friends, but it’s probably not a place I’d personally visit often.

This was our first visit to J. Theodore, and we’ll be back. The food was fabulous. I highly recommend the truffle parmesan fries and calamari appetizers.

The highlight of our visit was the service. Brandon was personable and provided the perfect amount of attention to the table, not too much. . . not too little. He was constantly walking by to check our needs without unnecessarily interrupting the conversation. We really enjoyed chatting with him. The assistant servers were also great about keeping drinks refilled as needed.

Overall, this was a wonderful experience.

Bartender has wonderful people skills. He made our experience perfect on my date with the wife. We came back today to try the speakeasy and he had us set up with no problem. Drinks and cocktails are perfect. And the food even better. Come check them out !

I can’t say enough good things about this place!! This restaurant is absolutely beautiful! The atmosphere, the service, the cocktails, and the food were all top-notch. Our server, Davis, was wonderful! He made my day when he brought me a Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini
I will definitely be coming back for dinner!!

We went for a late brunch here on a busy Sunday and the staff was very courteous and was able to seat us quickly. The patio was perfect to eat outside and the food was excellent.
