    Came here for girlfriend's birthday dinner. The atmosphere was fine. Nothing special. Heard decent reviews of the place. Honestly, I'm not one to complain about food. Girlfriend had Pan Seared Scottish Salmon and it was very delicious and flavorful. We ordered the cured bacon flight and dragon roll. Both delicious appetizers. I'll literally eat anything but I was pretty disappointed with the Hickory Grilled Beef Tenderloin. The waiter recommended it because it was apparently an excellent dish. The wild mushrooms had the only flavor on the dish. The beef tenderloins lacked taste and flavor. Seemed like the chef put all the salt on the mushrooms. I've eaten at 5 star restaurants for less and the money wouldn't have been an issue if the main entree wasn't so disappointing.

    Good ambience and great service. We went here for our anniversary dinner, and were very pleased with everything we ordered for the night! (See photos) They have a wide selection of wines, of which we loved the Tenuta Guado Al Taso. Additionally, it was fairly easy to secure a reservation on a weekend!

    This review was written for Abacus. Not Jaspers. I assume Jaspers has taken over Anacus, but I don’t think it’s the same menu. Came here with two other couples for the first time last night. Overall, we had a very good experience and an enjoyable meal. For the most part, I’d give five stars to everything we ate. The duck special was my favorite of the night. The Picasso roll was fresh and delicious. I loved the cafe brûlée dessert. The fries were a pleasantly decadent surprise. I liked the risotto, but probably wouldn’t order it again. The Brussels sprouts were great. I ordered the Secret Garden cocktail. It was delicious perfection. I probably wouldn’t ever order another cocktail there so long as that was on the menu. I did find some things about the service odd. It took awhile to get going. The host does not provide the menus. We had to wait for the server who greeted us first and brought drink menus later. Only it was one cocktail and one wine menu for a table of six. This wasn’t enough. We really needed one or two more of each. We were there about thirty minutes before we got out drinks. I wish we had received drunk menus upon sitting down so we could have ordered faster. BUT once we did get our drinks, everything ran super smoothly. I liked we weren’t rushed. Everything was perfectly timed. In some ways, it felt very European as our meal took about 2.5 hours. Our server was very nice and did a great job overall. It really was just the first thirty minutes I found odd. Luckily, we were in great company so it didn’t bother me more than a passing 🤔. The ambience of the restaurant was nice if a little dated. The restaurant as a whole lacked the modern feel I’m used to. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, as the food has certainly kept up, but I think it could use a bit of updating in the decor and atmosphere department. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d come back if I were feeling like a splurge. Which, on that topic, I will say I feel it should be labeled a $$$ restaurant and not a $$. From price point to atmosphere, it did not feel like most $$ restaurants I frequent.

    Jasper's is the place to be. You have to add this restaurant on your "places to try" list. Jasper's Uptown could become your favorite. The ambience is amazing and the staff is ready to make your experience exceptional.

    High expectations let down by mediocre service. The food was excellent, but the service was subpar. Plating and proportions were a little small. Food was delicious, but most of our plates were served more lukewarm than not. We had reservations for 8:00pm. We were told it would be a minute, so we sat at the bar which was not busy at all. After 10 minutes of waiting, I was finally able to get a bartender’s attention, as no one even glanced our way. We ordered drinks, and continued to wait. After a 45 minute wait from our arrival at 8, we were finally seated. The restaurant was bustling, but not overly busy. There were several empty tables as well. We ordered wine and drinks, and after 10 minutes were informed that our wine selection was unavailable. We selected a different bottle and were served promptly. 20 minutes into our dining experience, the waitress finally took our orders for an appetizer. We expected her to return shortly for ordering our entrees. 30 minutes later, she finally returned to our table, our glasses long had been empty, with the appetizers. She refilled our drinks, and promptly left. We ate our appetizers which were small, but delicious. At this point, we were almost an hour into our dinner, and 1.5 hours into our experience, and we hadn’t even ordered our dinner. Approximately 15 minutes after our appetizers were finished, our waitress returned to take our dinner orders. At this point, several other parties who had been seated after us, had already finished their meals and were leaving. We ordered dinner, and then waited another thirty minutes for dinner to be served. At this point, there were only a few tables left that were still occupied. Dinner was finally served and most of the food was lukewarm to cool at best. At this point we were well over two hours into our experience and didn’t have time to wait for re-plating. We finished dinner, ordered dessert to go. The meal was a very pricey meal, and the food, had it been hot, would have well been worth it. But when paired with the complete lack of organization, and dysfunctional atmosphere, this $700 meal was more than exorbitant. By the time we left, we were one of the only diners left. We had high hopes for this restaurant, but will not be back due to a complete lack of quality service.

    Food was excellent. Different flavors and not just another high end restaurant. Menu options give you a chance to try something different and amazing!! Service was great too, and you can tell the chefs took pride in the dishes they were putting out.

    The food, wine, staff, and atmosphere were all amazing. They have the best wild game I've tried in Dallas! The fried quail was great but the antelope was the best I've ever had. I'll be back very soon!

    Our servers name was Candice, she was great!!!! The food, the atmosphere, and the drinks were excellent. I had the venison, and my wife had the lamb. So tender! The Mac & Cheese is probably the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend to anyone. The bread and butter they give out at the beginning of the meal are delicious as well.

    This place is so fancy. Definitely suitable for a fancy night out. The food was absolutely delicious. As a picky water I usually don't like everything on my plate. But this surpassed my expectations. Every course was delicious and I enjoyed every aspect of it. The food was nicely portioned across the various courses. This is definitely a hit spot in Dallas.
