Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Medical District

My wife and I always go out for a Special Christmas Dinner every years and we always make it a new place to us and try to make it unique. This year I asked a good friend of mine Elizabeth Disch what place she would recommend and she immediately said Toulouse - it was her favorite restaurant in Dallas. That was enough said for me so I made reservations and my first impression was made at the bar while we were waiting for our table when the young bartender made for me the PERFECT Old Fashioned, not many bartenders today know how to make those !!! Then we were seated and Edwardo took perfect care of use from the mussel appetizers to my wife's trout, to my lobster. Trust me we will return many more times. Interesting, I was waiting outside for my wife when we left and an older gentleman walked up to me and we started talking, he said he was from that area originally - he said he had seen it change a lot through the years, he said Toulouse was originally an Ice Cream Shop that he use to go to , he would get an ice cream cone several times a week. He said the area had changed a lot, he said some good, some bad, but he was glad that Toulouse was there, he said he eats there often and is glad they are keep the original building as it was.

The staff was excellent and the food was delicious! Some members in our party had particular needs that might inconvenience the restaurant, but they were so accommodating and pleasant. Food was delicious and varied enough to meet everyone's tastes. The only thing that was a little bothersome was the music, it was too loud. I felt like we had to shout over it especially if guests at other tables were being loud. That said, we all agree that we'll be visiting again.

Been meaning to try this place for years. Great spot and surprised it was not really packed at all for a Saturday night. Burger was good. They couldn’t make me a michelada. The tv projector could use some work as it was glitchy. Will come back.

The crispy chicken and biscuit brunch entree was the best brunch item i have had in ages. Can't wait to go back.

We had a large group for a birthday celebration, including small kids, and the server was great despite how hectic it had to be for her. The food was excellent and the setting was perfect as the space allowed the kids to be energetic without distracting/bothering other diners. The fact that we had great weather to be outside also helped greatly.
