Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Irving

Fantastic experience overall. Food was exquisite, thoughtful and well composed. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better meal. Drink selection didn’t feel as up to par as the food menu. Basic options. Bathroom is up an entire flight of winding stairs which is fine, but be cautious in heels. They were out of toilet paper, so that felt overlooked. Bar with live music ramped up toward the end of our dinner but wasn’t overly loud and soundly lively as we were exiting.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. But the real star of the experience? Roque. Roque went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail, kindness, and knowledge of the menu made our meal even more special. He had excellent recommendations, and in particular the wine pairing recommendation with our dish. The food itself was outstanding—perfectly done, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. But it was Roque’s incredible service that truly set this experience apart. If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers both amazing food and top-tier service, this is the place. Highly recommend, and if you go, be sure to ask for Roque! You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful restaurant and we had a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with a perfect blend of flavors that left me wanting more. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all our needs were met with a smile. Their customer service was top-notch—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful meal in a welcoming atmosphere!

Dolce Riviera was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the staff was very professional, particularly the manager and waiter. The arancini antipasti was topped with fresh, seasoned arugula, doubling as appetizer and palate cleanser. For entree, I had the gnocchi with salmon; creamy and perfectly cooked, it was the real-deal of northern Italian dishes. Dolce is definitely the type of place you can take that special someone for a luxury experience. If you're looking for the next Italian fine-dining experience, Dolce is the place for you.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Haywire Plano. We came on a Tuesday and was surprised to how busy it was, but that was no concern as we had reservations in place and we're seated pretty swiftly. For our starter we had the mini Elk tacos which were pretty good. For the main course I ordered the 18oz Angus Bone-In Cowboy Ribeye with a side of the White cheddar havarti mac&cheese and Tallow fries. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. My wife ordered the Texas farm raised red fish which came with jumbo lump crab&rock shrimp, spicy lemon zydeco sauce, whipped potatoes and a frisée citrus salad. Per my wife it was an amazing meal. When we go back I'll be trying the 33oz Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye.
