"The food was great and the place very nice, The only complaint is that the server was too present, interfering on a business dinner and he was too quick with the check, kind of forcing us to leave."

"The food was fresh, well-prepared and tasty. The portions were not overwhelming as in many Texan restaurants (good thing). The ambiance was very nice. We were inside and had a nice view outside, next to the window. The outside looked very enticing as well. Only downside was the dessert, which was a huge piece of chocolate cake, which seemed to have been made from a package, with too sweet frosting, rather than being homemade."

"This was our second visit. This time it felt like a hotel restaurant- no music, buffet, inattentive service. The food quality was average. Our drinks were average. It's a shame. Cool space w tons of potential but it seems like everyone quit trying. Our waiter seemed disappointed that we didn't want the buffet."

"We wanted to check out the Omni so we made reservations at Texas Spice. I ordered the chicken fried steak. A friend got the pork chop which was wild boar and said it was juicy and full of flavor. Since this is a convention hotel I wanted to make sure they were doing true Texas food properly. It was one of the best CFS I have had. Meat was very tender and seasoned and the coating was cripsy and not too thick. The spicy cream gravy is the bomb! The mashed potatos and green beans were true Southern style. All the wait staff was beyond friendly and knowledgable about the sources of the various food. They brought us a lovely crab appetizer on the house. I think they have done a great job of representing Texas food and hospitality."

"Overall it was a pleasant experience. It was our first time trying Texas spice. Our server was very helpful and knowledgable of the menu.
The atmosphere was lively but not noisy which was a good thing. Our appetizer was the shrimp and crab sausage which was the highlight of our food selection. It was very delicious we wish there had been more. My girlfriend ordered the chicken fried steak as an entree. It was a bit expensive for a chicken fried steak, but was a pretty decent portion. Also as far as taste it did deliver with much help from the gravy. I chose the wild venison as my entree. It was the most expensive dish on the menu, but did not seem as it should have been. Venison (good), portion (small), tamales (not good)"

"Food was very good and reasonably priced. Service would be barely adequate for a nice buffet but they don't have nearly enough staff to handle orders from the menu. Ambiance is nice but if bar is hopping then you will have a hard time talking with your dinner companions."

"We had the chef's Valentine's Day tasting special. The meal included items that we had never tried before and would not have normally ordered such as beef tongue, salmon roe, and shrimp in banana puree. It also included more traditional dishes like short ribs along with several desserts. We decided to be adventurous and give it a try. It was really good. The food was great and provided us with a new dining experience. We also appreciated the complimentary rose and glass of champagne."

"We were fortunate enough to get a last minute reservation on Valentine's day. The staff was very friendly and prompt, and food was fantastic. We did have a hiccup in that it took quite some time for us to get our food however David, one of the managers, was all over it before we even had a chance to say anything. He personally delivered our food to the table and spent a good deal of time making it right. Even at the best restaurants things happen, and to me the important piece is how they react. We couldn't have been happier with our experience at Texas Spice and we'll be back. It has a great view of downtown Dallas and it was very pleasant to stroll through the beautiful Omni Hotel."

I will definitely come back to this place."

"I took my grandma and mother to Texas Spice when they wanted to come into town to celebrate my 21st birthday. It was classy enough for my grandma, and still swanky enough for me. Our waitress, Rita was phenomenal. She knew everything there was to know about the menu, and she made it clear that she loved being there and was so happy to serve us. The chef came out with a slice of chocolate cherry cheesecake for my birthday, and the bartender accompanied him with a birthday "shot" of my own. Everybody was happy, knowledgable, and made us all feel very comfortable."
