The Funky Door Bistro & Wine Room

"We were so lucky, what a hidden gem! The service is the best, the food is indescribably delicious and presentation is an art. The largest wine selection from Tempe,Az to Dallas, Texas. Innovative and delicious cocktails."

"It's been several years since we've attended Funky Door. Last time it was still at the 82nd Street location. Decided to go for date night. Waitress had good timing and was very polite. Food has changed since last time as fondue cheese isn't quite what we remember but still good. Not sure what the attire is, as we had people dressed nicely as we were, but also Crocks, hats backwards, and shorts. Just a real mix for a restaurant trying to be upscale. Speaking of trying to be upscale, the dishes need some attention as well."

"This is a funky little place with big funky character. A place where the average Joe can go and throw a pinky up, basking in the finer things. Delicious high quality foods, good wine, knowledgeable staff, wonderful ambience... Just a well rounded good time. We went for brunch but excited to go back for the dinner menu. Highly recommend!"

"Update, December 2023: We've visited a few times since the original review, and this is consistently the best filet I have had in Lubbock (and could rival filet anywhere). Their steak tips are also deliciously tender. Amazing wine selection; I love letting the sommelier choose my wine flight (telling them whatever I'm feeling like that day) and then selecting my favorite for a glass! --- Original review, April 2023: We reserved a table at the Funky Door for my birthday, unsure what to expect, but hoping it was good. We were very delightfully surprised at all aspects of the experience. Our waitress was knowledgeable, attentive, and had great recommendations, and offered a complimentary glass of (delicious) champagne for the special occasion. We also got a blind bubbly flight, where they chose 3 bubbly wines based on our tastes (could also do red or white flight, but hey, we were celebrating!) and they were on point. The food was amazing, too. Can't go wrong with fondue (for appetizer and dessert); salad was light, refreshing, and flavorful; and the ribeye could rival that of any steakhouse. The char on the outside was perfect, and they know how to do a rare steak! All of that combined with the funky atmosphere and eccentric yet tasteful decor made for a great experience. A musician began playing guitar around 7 and the restaurant was pretty busy by then, so I'd recommend reservations."

"First time visiting this place and it was amazing. Bartenders were very attentive and suggested some amazing cocktails. Having only lived here less than a year, I am happy to have found some amazing cocktails and knowledgeable mixologists!! Food was amazing too! French toast is HUGE!! Truffle fries are SO good!"
