Creekside Fine Grill — Restaurant in Wylie

Revised: Dinner for 4 adults, 1 toddler & 1 infant. 1 adult and Toddler dairy intolerant.

Appetizer: Deviled eggs - looked pretty and all were eaten so that was probably a win.

Coctail: Mocktail - non alcoholic drink in a mule cup. Was very much liked.

Dinners: Sauccetti Pasta - was pretty and all was eaten. No judgement made as to tase or if they would get again.

Rueben Sandwich w/home made coleslaw- not impressive in the least. Lower bread was soggy. (Suggests either the corn beef was prescliced and served from a ready bin or the sauerkraut was not drained. Since the meat is bottom it looks like not great corned beef. Taste was not good. Love this sandwich when done correctly as the flavors are such a great classic complement to the entire dish. This was bitter and a bit off tasting. The meat was not "bad" but also wasn't good. Would never recommend this to anyone.

Coleslaw was not remarkable but certainly edible. Would not order again. Should also have been served better drained and not in a slurry. This is the south and we know how to present coleslaw.

Hawaiian Chicken w/ Steamed Broccoli and Southern Cole Slaw. - so already addressed the coleslaw. The broccoli was in fact a hit and really enjoyed. The Hawaiian chicken while flavorful was very overcooked and tough. The rice was just rice. It helped distribute the taste of the pineapple salsa and Hawaiian sauce. Did not elevate the meal. (Chicken was served over rice). The pineapple and mixed covering hid the seriousness of the chicken breast overcooked.

Revised: Might reorder if we ever return but would send back if badly overcooked and dry.

Classic cheeseburger/ no cheese with sweet potato fries. - Fries were limp but not overly salty. Flavor ok but needed to be crispier. The burger on the other hand was overcooked and not a high quality of meat. It was not moist and though the bun was good the burger looked great but disappointed when it came to taste.

Kids Meal for milk intolerant: Kids Pasta sautéed in olive oil and garlic no butter with added grilled chicken. This came out beautiful and the pasta was like by all who tasted it. The chicken was unlike the Hawaiian chicken not overdone and it cut nicely and was not over seasoned. Taste was good. They added a piece of toasted bread without butter.

We WOULD reorder the kids meal.

Desert: Key Lime Pie. Presentation was pretty and high expectations but taste was a disappointment. This was a rather generic cheesecake that while fairly fresh, did not resemble key lime pie except for the thin slice of lime garnish. Very almost unnoticeable lime flavor. Sad.

Coffee: A really hidden joy. It was hot, fresh and flavorful.

Service: Our server was kind and courteous but they were busy and probably he was over tasked. Could be due to kitchen management. Not sure. We would have stayed and ordered a different desert and another coffee but they needed the table. Even after the server was embarrassed for making us feel like we needed to leave (we had paid the bill) It is a shame we couldn't stay and enjoy the coffee.

Overall I'm very disappointed as this was the one place I was looking forward to trying out and it was a special occasion.

My vote on CREEKSIDE FINE GRILL

• NOT...

UPDATE: I gave this place another chance and I am sure glad I did. I placed another to go order and my experience this go round was fabulous. The food was wonderful and we are already planning another time to eat here again. :) Thanks so much Creekside Fine Grill. :)

UPDATE: It really says a lot about an owner when they acknowledge a review and want to learn from it to make their establishment better. This response and acknowledgement alone has made me want to give Creedside Fine Grill another try. I have heard great things about this restaurant and the character of the owner. Can't wait to try Creekside again. Once I have done so. I will definitely come back and change my rating accordingly. I have already upped it one star from my original review just for the simple acknowledgment and eagerness of this owner to make it better. :)

MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: I will start by saying the food is pretty good. BUT.........Service not so much, and I got take out!!! For starters you can not order on-line at this location, it directs you to the Hillside Grill in Highland Village. They have two different phone numbers which no one ever picked up. So I had to go in and place my order, which was a large order. With what has been said so far, I was cool. Not that big of deal. So, I walked in, I was looked up and down like I didn't belong. I get that it is an upscale place and I just had on jeans and a t-shirt, but I was just trying to get a to go order and I have plenty of money to afford this establishment. But, I ignored that and was still nice. I advised that I tried to order online and call to no avail. Just to let them know that it was not working. The female staff member asked, "Well, did you call?". Well duh, yes, I just told you I tried to call , and added that I tried 4 times. She advised that I should have tried 5 times. WHAT??? - Anyway, I asked if I could place an order. She took me to a back room and gave me an IPAD and had me put in my own order. ARE YOU KIDDING?? Then when I didn't tip, asked me why I was not tipping. Well I didn't tip for obvious reasons. Anyway, I will not be going back. The food is not that GREAT to have to deal with that kind...
