"For many more reviews, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at SNDTRAVELS and EATWELLTRAVELOFTEN on Facebook. Travel has been limited for us lately, so finding new eats in our own backyard is our focus. Lately, we've been in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas, and today, we had brunch at Cretia's. This place has been around a while, and it's too bad we haven't checked in to it earlier. We've been missing out! Diane had the sweet onion quiche (today's) with fruit. One thing you notice right away is that every part of the quiche is handmade. The pastry was flaky and buttery, cooked to perfection. The quiche was soft but, once again, cooked just right. The use of cream is present but just adds to the flavor instead of overpowering the other ingredients. I really don't think it can be improved on. The side of fruit was large pieces of watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, honeydew, and cantaloupe. All very good. Diane doesn't usually like honeydew, but she actually enjoyed theirs. I had Cretia's salad. Chicken fried chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cheddar, croutons, deviled eggs, and a creamy maple balsamic dressing. The chicken was pounded thin, and the breading was just a dusting that was crunchy but delicate with just the right amount of seasoning. The chicken just melted in your mouth. The salad itself was crisp and fresh, and the maple balsamic dressing was really good. Not too sweet as some tend to be. Our server, Angie, was friendly, professional, and helpful with the menu. Cretia's is known for its bakery, so we had to take a few things home that we will review after coffee and dessert at home tonight. Overall, highly recommended two thumbs-up Update: Easter lunch with my mom and Diane's folks at Cretia's. Once again we had a great meal and enjoyed our stay. Our server was friendly, helpful and on the spot with service. The mom's both had the salad trio. Chicken salad, spinach salad and fruit. Dad chose the caramel and apple French toast. Was it good? Well, lets just say I thought he might lick the plate clean but etiquette won out. Diane had the days kiesh, spinach, and fruit. We've had the kiesh before and it was really good once again. I had the Davis street burger. The onion jam was a flavorful addition to the smoked bacon, egg and cheese. The fries were seasoned and cooked just right. Once again, everything was fresh and thoroughly enjoyed. We each ordered some dessert to take home. The desserts are just fantastic. The line goes out the door with those who just wanted sweets. The one thing I can't figure with this place it that the dining room is hardly ever busy. The desserts are good but so is the rest of the menu. We recommend you try everything! Update 6.17.22 Back again with another group of friends. This time with the Niçoise steak salad. Nice fresh greens and toppings and the steak was absolutely awesome. Tender with a very good marinade. Highly recommended 5 thumbs-up"
