We had a symphony to attend at the Meyerson on a Saturday night and intended to dine there. We needed reservations so had to go elsewhere. We walked down to 650 which is in the Plaza of the Americas. The place was eerily quiet. We were seated promptly at the restaurant and the waiter took our drink order which was fast. He took forever to take our food order. There were only a few people in the entire restaurant. Our food took 45 minutes to arrive! Our symphony was at 8 and it arrived at our table at 7:30! My friend ordered the mahi mahi and I had the pesto pasta with chicken and mushrooms. Both entrees were delicious but it was a shame we had to gobble it down for our concert! My friend had to ask for tartar sauce twice. The waitstaff was extremely unattentive and LAZY!
Pros: Location, Food
Cons: Lazy waitstaff, Slow service, Dead on weekends

World class is an understatement for this dining experience ....from the menu selections to the ambience. Nothing is bad. Food, service, parking all are flawless.

Abacus didn't live up to its proclaims. Our table was not ready upon arrival. We had to wait 15 minutes to be seated for our reservation - with no recompense. Where I come from, if your reserved table it not ready, you are offered a drink on the house or complimentary dessert or something. The decor was nice, however, it was far too noisy for anything romantic or even conversation that was not screaming. If I were to return, I'd bring a group of people. The food was good, if you have not had anything better before. The Lobster Shooters were the best thing we had. The entrees (Diver Scallops and Jumbo Prawns) were "all-right" - I've definitely had better Asian fusion in town. The food was over-seasoned, taking away from the inherent flavor of the seafood. The Truffled Mac-N-Cheese, not as great as it sounded, but worth a try.

I like it! It's a traditional dive style, but they actually have great food, which I think is important for enjoying beer and live music. These guys have a cool pickin' party on Sunday afternoons that is attended by really good musicians, not just garage-dwellers banging on their guitars. The atmosphere for that is unbeatably sunny and relaxed, and the atmosphere at night is cool, too. The acts they book are excellent and you get a good up-close and personal performance. This is a way better venue to see live music than paying big bucks and going to some over-produced show.

I have to agree with Pache253... If you are high-maintenance, please stay away. Find your way a little further down the road to Ghost Bar or whatever joint where "Stylish Nightlife Attire" is required. Their bathrooms are, I'm sure... cleaner.
It's been here for 25 years and still stands in a place that has seen MANY bars come and go. It's held together by history. The walls are plastered with Texas flags, neon signage, John Wayne, and photos of Willie. Everywhere else is covered with permanent marker graffiti dated back to 1984. It has the best country jukebox in Texas. Of that I'm sure. From Bob Wills to Patsy Cline - from Ernest Tubb to The Band. The burgers are greasy and fat and the beer is served in the cans God intended it to be in. If that's not too low-class for you then you'll feel at home at Adair's so by all means try it out. I'll likely see you there.

For the first time in my life, I took a trip with friends out of state. And we went very out of state, driving some 17 hours to Dallas, TX, in order to attend A-Kon, a large anime convention, that the city hosts.
The convention itself was hosted at the Adams Mark Hotel, and for convenience's sake, we decided to stay there, too. Normally, it seems, the rooms available at the hotel are fairly pricy, but we got a lowered price deal since we were attendees of the convention.
The hotel, first of all, was easy to find--which is extremely important when you're traveling far from home to a place you've never been before. Secondly, the hotel was large--but still easy to navigate.
The room we stayed in was large, as well, which easily fit the 5 of us staying there, giving each person plenty of room. Staff of the hotel seemed friendly enough, and the hotel was kept as clean as it could be for an anime convention weekend.
