My husband and I visited Written by the Seasons in Bishop Arts for his birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience. The food was incredibly fresh—you can really taste the quality in every dish. We started with the charcuterie tray because we wanted something light, and it was the perfect way to begin. My husband ordered the pork chop and I had the halibut chowder—both were amazing. Then we finished with dessert: the chocolate cookie and the vanilla cashew crème. I have to say, as someone with a serious sweet tooth, the desserts were probably my favorite part of the meal. What made our evening truly special was our waitress, Elizabeth. She was absolutely amazing. So attentive, so knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely sweet. She took the time to explain dishes, made great recommendations, and really made my husband feel celebrated on his birthday. You can tell she loves what she does, and that kind of service makes all the difference. The whole atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. This is the kind of place where you feel taken care of, from the food to the service. We left happy and full, already talking about when we could come back. If you’re looking for a great meal in Bishop Arts with service that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Written by the Seasons. And if Elizabeth is your server, you’re in for a real treat.

Local Sourdough was very good.. My only gripe with it is that it was cold.. Never been served cold bread like that so that was a miss unfortunately. The Grilled Shrimp and Avocado was good. The fresh produce/fruits made the salad what it was.. They have a coconut type of dressing which is good.. Couple months back they had a tom khai type salad dressing which was phenomenal.. I hope they bring that back.. Also got the Wild Mushrooms and those were good. We got the Duck Confit as well and it was alright. I was expecting a more authentic red curry.. Duck portions were good though. Service was alright. Our waiter seemed to be giving more attention to the solo female diner more than us and as a result, neglected us

We dined here for my husband’s birthday on September 6. I ordered the scallops and risotto and my husband had the seared haddock. Two of the four scallops were over cooked. When the waitress came at the end of the meal and asked how it tastes we told her about the scallops ~ she left and came back and offered new scallops but we were ready to leave at that time so we declined. I was also surprised that the accompanying sides were in salad form. If I had been told prior I definitely would have picked a different entree. In my opinion that entree should have cost at maximum $30. The haddock had very little flavor however the blistered tomatoes were sensational. The Ginny’s Garden cocktail tasted exactly like the garden. I would liken it to an alcoholic green juice. The star of the night was the free dessert surprisingly. We also got the charcuterie board which was beautiful and the pickled watermelon rinds were surprisingly tasty. We were so excited to try this restaurant with all its positive reviews. However, I do not plan on returning as the product was not worth the price in our opinion.

The restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. Great location in Bishop Arts District. The food was very good. We had the scallops, which was delicious. The steak was very well cooked. The haddock was very crisp and tasty. The duck confit was good but the side that came with it didn't pair well. Our only real complaint was service. The server really did not check on us enough and they missed one of our ordered appetizers.

Written by the Seasons ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (4.5/5) We walked in on a whim without reservations and were pleasantly surprised. The hostess was warm and accommodating—letting us know we could be seated inside as long as we finished before 6:30. Since it was just after 5, we happily accepted and settled in. From the start, the experience was excellent. Our waitress was prompt, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Summer 2025 menu. Even the table water was rosemary-infused—a subtle but lovely touch that set the tone for what was to come. Starters & Small Plates: • Simple Salad – Light, fresh, and dressed with a clean lemon-olive oil blend. A perfect beginning. (gf, vg) • Boquerones – These Spanish white anchovies were bursting with flavor, paired with herbs, lemon, and olive oil. (gf) • Hamachi Crudo – Served with Fresno chilis, mango, and a smoked ponzu broth. The hamachi was delicate, and the broth tied it together beautifully. (gf) • Grilled Shrimp – This cold dish was a surprise favorite. The shrimp came with mango, avocado, Fresno chili, and a citrus-coconut vinaigrette. Incredibly refreshing and vibrant. (gf) Entrée: • Grilled Salmon – A standout dish. Served with lentils, fennel, cucumber, and beets, all brought together with a horseradish vinaigrette. The flavors were bold yet balanced, and the texture of the lentils was spot-on. (gf) Dessert: • Pistachio Pavlova – This was an absolute highlight. The pavlova was crisp on the outside and airy inside, served with fruit, and a rich caramelized white chocolate cremèaux. A brilliant balance of tart, sweet, and nutty. (gf) Service: The staff was on point throughout the meal. Drinks were refilled promptly, and tableware was replaced quickly and discreetly. Everyone we interacted with was courteous and professional. Final Thoughts: I left feeling full but not weighed down—a sign of thoughtful, ingredient-driven cooking. This was a refreshing, satisfying experience. The space, the service, and above all, the food, work in harmony here. I will absolutely return. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for anyone looking for seasonal, refined, and creative cuisine in Dallas.
