Dea Restaurant Dallas

Dea is another home run by the Tracy + Lynae dream team! The cuisine is quintessential Italian with some amazing creative twists that change regularly. I have dined there twice since they opened and the wine list has already doubled with an exceptional Italian selection...be sure to ask for any special Amarone's they have off list. The experience was topped off by perfect service and phenomenal attention to all details. The atmosphere and vibe are hip, lively and really add to the overall dining experience. The question is not "if" we will be back, but how quickly and frequently. Outstanding job pulling together another spectacular concept!

First of all, the dinning experience is exceptional.

The food is amazing. The cold cut sampler is freshly prepared, high quality meat and cheese; but be aware, do not eat them all, save room for entree and dessert. Casarecce with octopus is strongly recommended, the octopus might be one of the best octopus you had in your life; tenderness and toughness of the octopus is at a magical balance point. Shrimp pasta is another story, the flavor blasts in your mouth as soon as you take the first bite. Try olive oil cake as dessert, the cake itself is less flavored; but when you eat the cake with vanilla cream or berries, flavor will be boosted by the cake.
Service and dinning environment is also outstanding. The excellency of the service start at the door, complementary valet parking and kindly greeting. Waiter and waitress really know menu well, they are very helpful.

Dea was a five-star, fabulous experience from walking-in to walking-out. We were politely greeted upon walk-in, and proceeded to the open bar until the remainder of our party arrived. The bartenders were immediately attentive and made us a tasty round of cocktails. Soon thereafter, we were accompanied to our table and had a wonderful dining experience trying several dishes. I failed to capture all served plates and entrees, but each and every dish was spectacular and had palatable taste. I highly recommend and urge you to try a selection in every category offered because we did so, and nothing disappointed any of us! We will be back to enjoy again and again!

I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal. I had a 3 course meal, with a couple of beers. Ideal for those who want a romantic night out. There was also plenty of room for bigger groups.

Never been to a restaurant so close to their opening that was operating so smoothly! The service was fantastic, cocktails were incredible, and the food was outstanding. Each course was a treat, and the bone marrow luge with a tasty sherry was over the top fun.
