Petra And The Beast

Support small businesses!! Great farm to table food…welcome to East Dallas.

Petra 's recent transformation from a pop-up eatery to a full-fledged restaurant left me thoroughly impressed.Let 's kick things off by acknowledging the incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff.These servers are true food enthusiasts, and not only did they offer excellent recommendations, but we were also treated to a couple of complimentary dishes.The ambiance strikes a harmonious balance between rustic and contemporary, reflecting the unique fusion of locally sourced, fresh ingredients and on-site butchery. Very 'earthy '.Petra serves those kinds of dishes that require a few bites to sink in and to fully appreciate. With their seasonal menu changes, you can 't really predict what you 'll get, but here are the highlights from our visit:The pappardelle was a harmonious blend of flavors, while the perfectly cooked beef tongue paired wonderfully with its zesty sauce, although a soft slice of bread to mop up the remaining sauce would have been ideal.The Creek eggplant was a delightful explosion of flavors, putting a creative spin on the classic baba ghanoush.The smokey melon sorbet dessert is one that needs to stay on that menu for good. It was something else and was the highlight of our dinner. A blend of textures and flavours and smells- absolutely divine. Only thing I would change is the size of the melon pieces or the general portion. It was a big dessert but I finished it anyways because I 'm a big boy and that 's what big boys do : ')I would recommend Petra and the Beast for those adventurous diners seeking a well-balanced blend of culinary creativity. Their food is a little weird, but you 'll love it.I can 't wait to see where Petra will be in my next visit to Dallas!

I had a positively wonderful time at Petra and the Beast! The food is bold and experimental, yet extremely satisfying. Wonderful chic environment, excellent staff and service. Josh stood out as an especially knowledgeable, patient, and charming server. 10/10

My family’s visit to Petra and the Beast was nothing short of an adventure. Bold unique flavors, beautiful ambiance, and excellent service. Our server Kalvin was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, gladly answering all of our questions as we navigated the menu’s diverse offerings. We will be back, and highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

My girlfriend and I came to Petra on a causal Thursday date night, and we really enjoyed our experience! The atmosphere, the time in between courses, the taste of the food, and the service of everyone in the restaurant was great. Kalvin guided us through the menu while being very personable throughout the evening. Solid dude. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of each dish from snacks to entrees to dessert. I recommend giving this place a try. With a rotating menu, we plan on being back to try out some new flavors.
