X-Perience Restaurant & Cocktails — Restaurant in Dallas

I got invited to this restaurant by a friend after they saw reviews from two popular Dallas influencers. Had I read the reviews before going, I wouldn't have gone.

My friend made a reservation, and we arrived on time.

Our reserved seating for 5 was in a booth…with two tables…and another party was sitting at the other table. So we had access to only one side of the table because there clearly wasn't enough room for two tables. (First sign we should have left)

Service was slow, so we didn't order until about 30 minutes into being seated.

About 10ish (and that's being generous) minutes after getting our food, we were told we had to leave our shared booth because another reservation was coming. We barely touched our food. It was still hot.

My friend who made the reservation told the manager that no time limit was given when she made the reservation. If they want to have an 1 hour 30 limit then service needs to be much faster. But yall, we had just been there an hour when we were told to move.

And they shouldn't have allowed my friend to order hookah if they knew we would have to leave soon.

The party sitting across from us, never got all their food and they were there before us.

So, they moved us to this random giant island in the middle of the restaurant. Where service was even worse.

Their ventilation system is horrible you're gonna leave smelling like fried food. No upscale restaurant I've been to left me smelling like fried food.

This is definitely another restaurant trying to pass off as an upscale experience to people who don't know any better.

Perry's or Mortons would NEVER treat their patrons this way. The craziest part was that the manager thought this was acceptable. That's wild!

I'd NEVER set foot in this overpriced establishment again.

It's obvious they need to hire people with actual fine dining experience.

And I probably won't trust influencers who recommended this place again. My experience was too far off...

So the vibe/music is LIT!!!! Drinks FLOWWWWW!!! But the service as far the when the food comes out is CRAZY. We sat at 2:03pm. Party of 6. They told us the lamb chops and grits was 4 lambs chops. The loaded grits was 3 with shrimp and crab. We also ordered appetizers. So the two seafood dips and crab cakes took about an hour. The actual food we ordered which was 2 loaded grits one with a side of potatoes one with a side of fish. Then we ordered lab chops and grits, fish and grits and not sure what the other member ordered but doesn’t matter she didn’t get it. After an hour and 40’minutes only three members of the party had got there meal. The crab cakes were good and so was the dip. the dip only comes with 5 pieces of bread (you’ll have to order more ) the strawberry and blueberry lemon drop are both good! Opt for the blueberry. It’s cheaper and stronger! Ended up telling the manager cancel all the entrees as it took over an hour and 40 minutes when the total time you book a table for it’s TWO HOURS!!!! How are you giving us a time limit when the food hasn’t even come out?! Crazy !!!! Dj was lit. Overall atmosphere lit ! Food service TERRIBLE !!! 0/10 so not recommend. Our server, Nathan, was very pleasant. Could have been a little more attentive but I’m not sure how many tables he was serving. Overall experience if you’re hungry DONT COME HERE!!! You’ll drink but food is scarce. Birthday brunch for me was a WASTE!! Mad i came here at all but it looked good on social media. No one expect the server was apologetic! Not even the manager. Would not come here again especially not for a special event. If you just want drinks and hookah pull up.. otherwise don’t waste your time.

This review was left December 9th at 4:11pm. My reservation was for 2pm(i paid $50 for a reservation) seating time was 2:04pm. 2/6 had their food. Wrong portions told etc etc. save yourself and go somewhere you know the food and...

This was a terrible “X-Perience.” Save your time and money; I def wish I did. Our reservation was at 1:15, and we didn’t get our appetizers until 2:30 and our entrees until 3:15. They said the kitchen was backed up, and the appetizers were 5 minutes behind and the entrees were 10 minutes behind. Still, that was after we’d already waited 45 minutes. We ordered hookah, which never came until we asked again 30 mins later; it’s cash only for that, so just a heads up.

The food was lukewarm after waiting forever and a day! I was so over it; the lamb chops were not it, the waffles tasted old, and the “homestyle potatoes” looked like the frozen ones you get at Walmart, nothing special at all. The whole experience was a joke, honestly.

My plate came with two eggs, but I only got one. When I let the server know, he explained the manager was having an issue and wouldn’t make the extra egg or comp anything off my order, so he took off the cost of one egg ($1.60). How absolutely insane!

My Ratings: The salmon croquettes were super salty and lukewarm. (2/10) #HardPass Deviled Eggs - 8/10 Chicken Enchilada Egg Rolls - 7/10 Lamb Chops - 4/10 Chicken and Waffles - 5/10

Our server Dom was friendly, but disappeared for a long time on end, continued to give us false wait times, didn’t check on us (water refills and old plates that needed to be picked up), and lacked proper communication given the extremely lackluster experience. For his friendliness, I give him a 6/10.

Also, they charged an automatic 15% gratuity for all checks and if you pay with credit card you will be covering the fee.

On the flip slide, here are the things I like: the deviled eggs were really good, and the chicken enchiladas weren’t amazing, but at least it was piping hot. And most importantly, the ONLY reason I’m giving two stars is because of the DJ. He was great.

That’s all! I hope I helped someone save $75; that’s an overpriced...
