The prices are a little high for lunch, but the food is good. They have a wide variety of items that you won't find at your normal sandwich type place. It really doesn't matter which one you go to, they are all busy. The breakfast is very good and a little more reasonably priced. less

A Dallas treasure. Elegant and casual and rustic. It's la Madeleine. The Mockingbird location has a serving line with cashier, and self serve refills for drinks which gives a casual atmosphere, but the quality and the hospitality is anything but casual, it's fine dining. The presentation of the food is artistic and inviting. The staff is friendly, attentive, professional, and hard working -- they're working hard for you, and you know it. Country French decor, hardwood floors, beautiful pastries, breads, and entrees, attention to detail, and a smiling, confident staff make la Madeleine a memorable experience. Outdoor seating is available. Next to the east side of SMU on Mockingbird. less
