I was very disappointed by this restaurant in my one visit. This
is one of the most expensive restaurants in Dallas, yet the food
was rather uninteresting, especially on the tasting menus.
I think you can do well -- at least get a good meal -- if you order
off the menu according to what really strikes your palate, but
don't be too adventurous here. I don't think they have
the skills in the kitchen.
<br>
For example, ordering off the menu one of my companions received
the the provini tenderloin of veal, french goat cheese polenta,
roasted cipollini onions, and a peppery morel cabernet sauce.
The veal was nicely cooked and tender. The sauce was very good.
The morels seemed to be infused with meat stock and the sauce added
bright and deep flavors with a strong peppery element as well.
The polenta was tasty and creamy. It all went together nicely. <br>
But I got the vegetarian tasting menu and I don't think there
was one item I'd order again anywhere. Similarly, I could
say the same for the Chef's tasting menu that another companion
ordered. Even only one of our three desserts was actually good. <br>
On top of this we received poor service. We had to wait for 20 minutes
to be seated. Then once we were seated we were pushed to order quickly.
Our head server sometimes gave us the wrong dishes and couldn't
remember what was in the dishes. Even though the bathroom was
a bit of a hike, I was only told generally where it was. Most restaurants
in this price range would show you to the bathroom, especially
when it's outside the restaurant in the lobby of the hotel.
