This is one of our favorite places for lunch. Start with the deviled eggs and share the Reuben with fries. If you prefer a salad, their choices while limited are excellent. The burger is a hefty load and the fries and wonderful with a choice of condiments to dip them into. The wine list is reasonably priced and very good.... More

I am writing this review after my 4th lunch visit to R+D. Every time I have eaten at the bar, on a week day, around lunch. The food has been fresh and delicious. The staff has been friendly and professional. I have had the ruebenesque sandwich and the ahi tuna salad. The sandwich is big enough to split, but good... More

We have been going for years just for the fish sandwich. It exceeded my expectations. I Did not expect it to be that bad. An ahi tuna sandwich, made from scraps. After going there for the last 10 years we will never be back. More

it's owned by the former Houston's (since re-named Hill-something) to test new items. Just go to Hill-something (a block away), get a drink and wait an hour plus for a table there. It's worth the $. More

When you've got to wait that long for a table you should get more than an OK meal. It's pricey, waiters push the alcohol sales too hard & they rush you out so they can turn tables. More

Awesome, menu, but small space, make sure you allow time to be seated if you go at prime time....the seared tuna salad is one of the best in Dallas...the home-made pimento cheese and guac with chips is outstanding More
