Ive been dining at Saint Emilion for 8 years and recommending it just as long. Most recently however the owner Bernard and his employee demonstrated the most egregious display of “we don’t want or need your patronage” Ive ever experienced at a restaurant, including restaurants in Paris where that’s a whole vibe. I made a reservation around 30 days in advance for 4 and the day before our friends had a their sitter fall through. I called the restaurant and let them know my reservation needed to change to two instead of 4. Tenille picked up the phone and after I explained the change I was requesting she asked, “can’t you do it on resy?” I explained I tried but it just kept spinning and never confirming a change. She asked for my name, asked me to repeat it, placed me on hold, came back asked for my name a third time, asked me what time and then said she couldn’t make the change because there weren’t tables for 2. I asked if we could sit at the original table she said no, then placed me on hold again. Bernard the owner came on the line and I explained myself again and he said he could only cancel my reservation. I said I understand it was originally for 4 I would happily pay any difference from us only having 2 at a 4 top. He said “no we don’t do that, you can’t pay for things you don’t get.” I said I understood I would order 4 entrees and take 2 to go. He said no, I pleaded to still be able to eat there and that I would happily compensate them for the difference of us not being able to provide two additional bodies. And he refused. It was incredibly upsetting that I was begging to dine there and grasping at straws to try and make it fair to them since we were taking up a 4 top that Bernard just didn’t care. So even though this was the place that I used to scrape my money together for a special occasion meal in my 20s to now that I’m trying to throw money at them just to keep my reservation, I just don’t think food can taste good when I the owner just doesn’t care if you eat there or not. So while Rise and Les Margot don’t have the same atmosphere… they’ve never made me beg to eat there and still told me no. Good food…. But lots of places have good food and owners that are happy you chose their restaurant out of all the great options in Cultural district.

Always a fantastic meal. Since my last time here the wine program has been significantly revamped and the selection is fantastic.

Very nice French restaurant in a homey setting. Service is excellent, as you would expect at a higher end establishment. Excellent selection of French favorites, with specials as well. There is a fixed price menu, you can order from for three courses, and pay a little extra for Prime Cuts. Everyone in our party agreed that the food was a bit Bland, not as rich as one would expect for Parisian French food or even a little spicy thrown in being in Texas. I will not say it was disappointing, just not what I expected having recently returned from Paris. Sommelier is on hand to assist with wine choices

I will say I have a bit of experience with French cuisine having been born there and grown up eating home cooked French meals. Having said that this comes as close as I've gotten to getting an authentic and affordable French meal in the DFW area. We started with the soup of the day which was an asparagus soup and the steak tartare. All delicious, sufficiently sized to be able to enjoy but not overwhelming. Very, very fresh and tasty. For the main course we went with the magret de canard and the filet au poivre. The magret, was juicy, well seasoned and again healthy portioned. The sauce was not overwhelming as it can sometimes be and it complimented the duck well. The tenderloin was just as delicious. Be aware they do tend to cook closer to rare than you would expect however I would not be concerned as the quality is amazing. The beef was delicious and came again with a rich yet not overwhelming sauce that perfectly complimented the steak. We finished off with a creme brulee which was a delicious close to a well worthy dinner.

Saint-Emilion provides a truly wonderful dining experience. Here's what you will find: Top-notch service. The restaurant accommodated multiple reservation changes, and the owner went table-by-table to greet guests. Our waiters were very attentive, and we were provided complimentary macarons at the end of our meal to celebrate a couple birthdays that spanned a over this month and the previous. Well-executed, delicious fare at great value. The cook on our food was perfect. I took one star off because the scallops we had were extremely salty (to everyone at the table). However, we have been here multiple times and this is the first time we have had anything but the best to say about the food. Besides the scallops, the beef tartare, steak, escargot, duck, and even the bread were fantastic. Warm, rustic charm. I love the atmosphere of Saint-Emilion: within what appears to be a quaint little cottage hides a delightful, cozy atmosphere. It allows guests to truly enjoy fine dining without going through the rigid, formal atmosphere found at some other restaurants. If you are a lover of French cuisine, or are looking for a nice place to take a date or some friends, Saint-Emilion is definitely a must-try.

TLDR, just reserve a table and go. The food was amazing, the wine pairing was delightful, and the staff was great. Went there for an intimate birthday dinner. Not a lot of tables but it was such a place. The atmosphere was great. The only drawback is if you are sitting next to a loud table. Everyone will hear the conversations. My first time there but it will not be the last. I was impressed with the wine selection and the knowledge of the staff on pairing wine with dinner. We decided to go with a bottle of wine and we were not disappointed. The team kept the glasses full and the table neat. The house bread was delicious, had to stop eating the bread to make room for dinner and a dessert. The Duck and the Fillet were awesome, and the desserts were delicious. Just go, enjoy yourself, and know I will be back for sure.
