Criallo's: Disapointment in Cool Springs – We ordered the Calamari Appetizer and it was very good. Accompanying it was a simple, tasty marina sauce and a sweet Mango Salsa with lots of cilantro and green onion - both very good pairins with the lightly breaded, delicately fried Squid. Next course was the Criallos salad. A salad with the Restaurant's name should be great. It consists of Spring Greens, Diced Pears, Candied pecans, blue cheese, and a poppyseed dressing. The Dressing was great, but the pears were essentially slig... read more
Friendly staff - little gem tucked away! – Most people might not know about this restaurant but it's well worth seeking it out! The menu is very extensive and all of it looks fantastic! It's not cheap but there are specials you should ask about - either at the bar or for dinner! The portions are a nice size and the variety is definitely there. Nice wine list, full bar and a nice cozy atmosphere! The only problem we had was with our waiter - although he was very nice and helpful, he didn't know how a fish dish was prepared an... read more
Upscale Cool Springs bistro proves to be a swanky retreat and a true dining destination. – In Short Neatly hidden in a strip mall near Cool Springs Galleria, this narrow bistro betrays a sophisticated vibe. Moody track lighting, dark rust-colored walls, sealed concrete floors, low-volume live jazz and a smartly dressed, upwardly mobile clientele contribute to the stylish atmosphere. From the appetizers to the desserts, each generously sized dish is noticeably rich. The house offers several filet options, while seafood specia... read more
Always A Pleasure – I have been a long time Criallo's customer. The location is great for meeting friends after work for Happy Hour, tapas and the live music. Most recently I met clients for dinner there and was very impress with the new dinner menu new dinner. I had the the Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary Honey Glaze and it was wonderful. Everyone was pleased with their meal. All I can say is, "It's not just for Happy Hour anymore!"
Very Dissappointing – I was expecting so much more based on a prior visit and the seeming popularity. I ordered the Filet ($29) and asked it to be prepared Medium. It arrived well-done. The waiter was very unattentive...so much so that I never had an opportunity to voice my displeasure and send the dish back. The accompaniment of vegetables and other flavors were o.k. You would expect much more from a $29 filet. Have had better at chain steakhouses. The bartender doesn't have a knack for making tasty martinis either(This als... read more
Disappointment – There was pedestrian food with obnoxious service. The prices reflect a true gourmet experience but the food fell far short.
Yummy but... – We have been going to Criallos for a couple of years (before it "caught on"). We love the food, and tolerated the bar, which has never been great . None of the bartenders makes a good mixed drink (martinis etc). The last 3 times we have run into unpleasant bar staff who seem incapable of managing a crowd without getting huffy. I think success may be their down fall. I know lots of "regulars" who have stopped going since it has become popular. The last time I ordered a cosmo, which was horrible. After paying $9... read more
Not impressed – My boyfriend and I tried this Friday night because of the Citysearch recommendations. I started with a salad which was good but so is Chili's. Then I had Trieste which was a medley of Shrimp, Scallops, and Lobster. Both the lobster and shrimp were over cooked. The angel hair pasta was simple with loads of butter and garlic. The fresh vegetables were not fresh they tasted like they came out of a bag. My boyfriend had Ahi Tuna which gave him a stomach ache. We have eaten at a lot of great restaurants in town bu... read more
A secret, not for long. – When my friends and I walked in we noticed the fans, which are hand made and belt driven old timey style. The fans were the first of many delightful suprises. The atmosphere is soothing, especially, with the live music, but more importantly every food presentation was a masterpeice design in culinary expression. Adam had the Angus Filet, Heather had the Atlantic Halibut and I had the wild Salmon, all were spectacular. When Chef Red Munson visited the table he explained the EuroAsian cuisine, patente... read more
