Trece

A second chance wasted. Pathetic. I thought after one bad experience I'd give them another shot, but it was deja vu as it unfolded the same way. Horrible service. The waiter showed no courtesy nor even the slightest concern for anyone at our table. He acted as if we mattered not to him at all. He came only when food was ready and never otherwise checked on our drinks. Lacking promptness and conscience regarding drink refills, my friend sat for far too long with any empty glass. He attempted to take plates of unfinished food without so much as a glance at the person nor a question as to whether they were done or even if they wanted a to go box. Both this waiter and the waitress of my first visit gave me some of the worst service I've ever experienced at any restaurant.

The food was mediocre at best with not much taste nor zest. It could have been far worse but I'd honestly rather eat at Taco Bueno. Even the cashiers there would be more friendly than anyone working at this "upscale" restaurant.

I refuse to ever return to this restaurant even if they payed me to eat there.…

High end food but disappointed with low end service..... I didn't mind paying the $$$ for the food; it was worth it! Yes, their made fresh at table side guacamole was phenomenal, the braised short rib was succulent served with the best sweet potatoes I ever had!!! But the service was not up to par with the food and the category of restaurant it?s supposed to be. We had to wait an hour and a half for a table that we had advance reservations for. The server butchered the pronunciation of restaurant?s name and our dishes did not come out all at the same time. You can imagine waiting almost two hours for your food the disappointed and hunger pains you feel watching your friends eat their food while still waiting for your dish to come out!!…

Just not very enjoyable.. With all the good restaurants in Dallas, it's just not worth wasting a night here. Atmosphere: Thursday nights are bad at this place. They have a "band", but it's really one guy doing karaoke, and it's bad. Everybody is shouting to be heard over this guy. So it's a bad place to go if you want to have decent conversation with the people you're with.

Drinks: All the margarita machines were broken, so we couldn't have one. The drinks on the menu were crazy expensive, so we ordered beers instead, which were reasonable.

Food: Food is ok. Not better than what you can get at Gloria's or Chuy's. For the price you pay, you might expect something more, but you don't get it.

Service: Excellent. Wait staff is very good. No complaints.…

Overpriced 'gourmet' Tex-mex.. The food was good, not memorable though. I was shocked when I got my ticket at the end of the meal. $100 for a meal for 2 that took less than an hour to complete? Perhaps it just was not my thing, but we could have gotten a meal more to our liking at Pappasito's (with drinks and an appetizer like we had) for less than 1/2 of the price at Trece. On top of that, no complimentary valet parking? Would have figured since we were patrons of the restaurant, the valet parking would be free...I mean, they do that at Abacus not too far away.

So, probably will not be back there. Just not our type of place.…
