Located in an elegant old hotel in Downtown Dallas (which is trying to make a comeback), this restaurant never disappoints. The food is wonderful although mostly classic. Excellent service. More

First of all, the French Room is inside the legendary Adolphus Hotel in downtown Dallas. The hotel opened its doors in 1912 and while it has gone thru several renovations in the last century, once inside you'll feel like you have stepped inside one of the great, old, famous, 5-Star hotels in Europe. The same holds true for The French... More

The restaurant is really beautiful - lovely frescos, murano glass chandeliers, white table cloths. Service is good, our main server Carlos was absolutely wonderful, however we sat with empty wine glasses and finished plates a couple of times. Bit long waits between courses, but it gave us time to enjoy the ambiance. We were there for an anniversary, and they... More

While very expensive, if you want a flawless dining experience, search no further! From the valet to the wait staff, this is a dining experience that will not soon be forgotten. Excellent menu with both a 'Chef's Suggestion' which is a fixed menu, and ala carte. Food is both delicious and the presentation is first class. The sommelier is very... More

This is by far the best restaurant in Dallas. The food is unbelievable and the service is even better. Make sure to ask for Carlos when making your reservation. We have had the pleasure of dining with him two years in a row and have not been disappointed. He genuinely cares about each guest. When we were seated and someone... More

Wow. This place is the definition of fine food and excellent service. Beast Steak in Dallas. Waiter staff (more than one) was super attentive. Down side is the noise. It was difficult to be heard at times but this give you a chance to sit close. Be prepared to pay about $100 per person PLUS alcohol. More
