Cris our server was amazing, from start to finish. We did not want for anything he was always right there a head of us. The food was absolutely amazing you have to try the lamb lollipops and the crab nachos, definitely a hit for us! And the atmosphere was sexy and dim. Some dressed up some dressed down. Come how you feel. As for parking we valeted and it was super cheap about 12 bucks. We will definitely be back! Perfect for celebrating our 5th anniversary!

Great reservation first of all! Food was spectacular! But, most of all was our waiter Colin who made us feel very special on our anniversary! Mr. Colin went above and beyond by letting us know what was the best dishes and talking to us in a way that made us feel like family to make to make us feel special day on our anniversary!

We had a delightful experience at the Woolworth! Our group of 4 professional women visited for happy hour, and dinner and every detail was spot on. We started with the crab nachos, which were a hit with everyone at the table. Our incredible server Samantha gave us a recommendation for drinks and we couldn't resist the 'That's What She Said' vodka cocktail--delicious and perfectly balanced. My salmon entree was cooked to perfection, served over a beautiful and colorful array of fresh vegetables. The service was impeccable; the entire staff was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our stay. We sat in the upstairs outdoor seating area, which provided a fantastic atmosphere for our evening.This is such a unique spot in downtown dallas.I would definitely return and highly recommend it to any one in the area!

We had a group here for my birthday…. It was AMAZING!! Not just the food but the service from Colin was top tier! He made me and all of the group feel special. Drinks flowed but when my friend and I wanted a special concoction, Juan at the bar happily obliged and we were surprised at how well he listened and exceeded our request. If you have not been to Woolworth, what are you waiting on??? Ask for Colin to serve you and make you feel welcomed and sooooo special and have Juan fix your drink(S) and have a designated driver on hand and enjoy!!! Thank you for making my birthday special!!

Walking into The Woolworth, you immediately notice the ambiance. It strikes that perfect, rare balance—elegant enough to feel special for a date night, yet relaxed and welcoming enough to enjoy a great evening out with friends. It looks sophisticated without feeling stuffy. ​While the food is objectively good and well above average, it might not crack the absolute top ten meals of your life. But a truly great restaurant isn't just about what's on the plate; it’s about the entire experience. ​Admittedly, the evening didn’t start with total perfection—the hostess at the front entrance could definitely afford to smile a bit more, as a warm welcome can truly change the game. However, any minor hiccups dissolved the moment we met our server, Nick H. ​Nick single-handedly transformed an "okay" night into an absolutely delightful, wholesome evening. Armed with a genuine smile and an incredibly friendly attitude, his recommendations were completely spot-on. He didn't just take orders; he curated our experience. I feel incredibly lucky that Nick was our server for our date night. He turned a simple meal into a memorable moment, and he is the biggest reason we'll be coming back. If you go make sure Nick H is your server.
