Gemma Dallas Reviews
The service was fine.
We got the papardelli and it was EXTREMELY salty and the scallops were just okay. I'm so disappointed, I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now seeing as it's Michelin recommended and it really let me down. I won't
My wife and I came here for our anniversary dinner.
Our server was excellent -- attentive, friendly, and even offered a couple of off-menu items that were delicious. My cocktail was also great. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try the duck frites because of my seafood allergy; the restaurant uses
Great food and service.
The staff and servers were wonderful. A truly amazing dining experience.
Gemma - Saturday Dinner Review (4.
5) Gemma absolutely delivered on every front during my recent Saturday dinner. Our waiter, Anthony, set the tone with his great personality and attentive service was friendly, professional, and perfectly timed throughout the night. We started with

The Knox/Henderson area just keeps growing and Gemma is a great addition to the area. There are so many restaurants to choose from in Dallas and after our experience, Gemma was an excellent choice. We enjoyed the seafood platter, rigatoni alla vodka,
The ambience is amazing, has a city-chic feel.
Al though they couldn't figure out the hvac system (too cold, then too warm), it was a fantastic meal. We started out with the Jumbo Lump Crab cake- very little binding but stayed together perfect, meaning huge lumps of sweet tasting crab in a
Service was great, food was great.
Loved the steak fried rice, vinegar sauce served on top was a little heavy, I wouldn't recommend using it. Cocktails were good, nothing special. Prosciutto appetizer was good. Prices were a little high.
Just ok- not sure why they're Michelin Bib gourmand.
Server was not helpful in helping choose a dish and just said that "everything is good". Food was overly salty. Ambiance is just ok
Charming bistro.
When we first came in, we were greeted kindly and the first half of the meal was great. We were given scones with a salted butter. Started out with the Mussel Escabeche as an appetizer. The bread was buttery and grilled and it went well with the muss

My group was very disappointed in our first experience at Gemma. Our waiter was rude and inattentive to our table, yet had no problem servicing others in his section. We had to ask the floor manager to track him down several times just to get drinks.

I don't really write reviews, but the food at this place is so good, I feel like I need to. If the full judgment of being Michelin starred was on the food taste alone, this place would have three. Honest to god, I've lived in Dallas my wh

A year ago I wrote that my wife and I had our best dinner ever in Dallas at Gemma. Last weekend we had a meal that was equally as good if not better. It's a beautiful, comfortable bistro, intimate and unpretentious. Our server, Jeremy, was an ab
The best! Would highly recommend.
The bread and butter at the beginning was fab. Service was quick and we went at 5pm for the early bird special lol but it was uncrowded and I do prefer that! Thank you!!!!!
We had a great experience dining at Gemma.
From the moment we walked in, hospitality was friendly and we felt taken care of. Everyone is offered a small scone to begin with which was delicious. We then split the shrimp spaghetti and steak frites (substituted normal fries for the duck fat tate
Can't Understand How It Made Michelin's Recommended List!
So disappointed! Everything was average (food, service and wine list) and tasted overwhelming butter. Trout was very salty; both pasta dishes came lukewarm not hot; duck skin of duck frites was soft and cold; and steak was lack of flavor. Wine list h
Outstanding Food
The food was great, service was great. But some inconveniences detracted just a bit on the overall experience. Our reservation was honored on time. We were placed at a table for two which, under normal circumstances, would have been OK. But the i
I love this restaurant.
The food, service, and ambience makes it feel like fine dining without the "stuffiness" of fine dining
Went a few years back and thought it was a bit stuffy.
Went back a few weeks ago and the place has been completely transformed. More of a casual (but nice) neighborhood restaurant. Light and cheery. Great servers and terrific food. We will be back for sure.

I believe the menu has changed a little since I've been so you may not find these items BUT we ordered so many things and I'm convinced the chef can make anything! Go & order everything!

This restaurant has innovated their menu and I can't think of any other one in Dallas can match it. The salmon tartar was delicate and fresh. The parpadelle with rabbit was delicious in a savory and light tasty sauce. The veal was delicious and the
Excellent food, impeccable service.
Will definitely be going back. Moules Frites and Steak Frites were perfect!
Gemma Gemma, you've put me in quite a dilemma.
Let me start by saying how great the hospitality is. From the birthday card for my wife we were greeted with when we arrived to the wait staff that made sure our glasses were full and made us feel comfortable, it's safe to say Gemma is elite when it

After all the years, after all the comings and goings of people and the hustle and bustle of our big D, Gemma is still a favorite. My Maggie and I just moved to Vickery Place and are now within walking distance of this gem of a restaurant, making our
Absolutely underwhelming visit.
We had the burger, the vodka pasta and the margaritas. The pasta was a bit on the bland side and my husband's burger was sadly over cooked. Our waiter was kind and patient. It wasn't horrible food, don't get me wrong, it was just way over priced for

They just don't miss, the oysters, the tagliatelle, the tiramisu, the scones, the Chablis, and the service doesn't miss I can't remember the bar tenders name sadly but she was just great; her vibe, she had a jovial disposition she's from Jersey I do
Amazing food, service, and ambience at Gemma.
Our server, Jeremy, had such great attention to detail and went above and beyond to be considerate of our dietary preferences. Beet and endive salad was refreshing and flavorful. Gemma is also the only restaurant where I enjoy eating olives - the fri

I recently dined here on a visit from Chicago. The restaurant was full, so we sat on the "patio," which is a concrete extension into a parking lot. The food was quite good for the most part. We started with grilled octopus, which was bea

Showed up at 5 for our reservation, which is super early and not many tables were filled but there was plenty of staff. We were ignored for 25 minutes before we gave up and left. Cannot comment on the food or drinks since no one attended to us. I am
Overall a beautiful and romantic ambiance.
The service was superb and we had very attentive staff. We also received great food and drink recommendations from our server, Austin. This place has become one of my new favorite restaurants in Dallas. The dessert options included very unique takes
Beautiful place and phenomenal food.
Phillip, the hostess, went above and beyond in helping us get the table and the time we needed and made our time there very pleasurable. Superb.
Service is outstanding.
Menu is wonderful. We especially loved the short rib appetizer and cocktails.
Gemma is back!

Always a winner with their outstanding entrees, delish creative cocktails and warm service. The dining room can be loud at times and if so, they have a wonderful patio to dine on.

Cute restaurant, great service, great food, great wine.
Can't wait to go back. They have a Sommelier too!
Came here once when I visited Dallas.
We ordered family style and ordered a bunch of items to share. Hands down the best dish was the pappardelle with braised rabbit.

Went here on a date and was left full with the amazing apps and entrees. I'm sad I just now discovered this place as I think it will be one of my top Dallas places!
Easily the best meal in Dallas.
The food is amazing but the service really knocks it out of the park.
Gemma is a really cute and cozy spot.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Gemma Dallas. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Gemma Dallas at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Gemma Dallas page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Gemma Dallas to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Gemma Dallas!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
