This restaurant and its staff are the most amazing combination in exquisite dining I have ever seen. The service was impeccable, the food was something I'd only dreamed of, and the ambiance was divine! No matter where you sit in the Mansion restaurant you will be pleased however, I highly recommend reserving the Chef's Room. You pay more but it is so very worth it! We left feeling MORE than satisfied, knowing we got exactly what we paid for. We plan to go back regularly. If you're thinking of going to this restaurant, you won't be sorry! Although, once you get there and experience it for yourself, you'll be sorry you didn't discover it sooner!
Pros: Service, staff, ambience, food, the Chef.
Cons: NOTHING!

This could easily become my favorite restaurant in Dallas, but I'll have to go a few more times to gauge their consistency and see more of their work. This much is the truth: these people understand foie gras. It was the best I've ever had, which is saying something because I overindulge fairly regularly. The pork belly was not exactly to taste (could have used some searing), but was nonetheless very enjoyable. The beef was very flavorful, but maybe a little too salty. But the portions were large, and overall it was a good value. Dessert, which I think is a weak point at 5-star restaurants, was very, very good (it was some sort of creme brulee with carmel popcorn and ice cream). And there are lots of pleasant little extras along the way (good bread, candy, sorbet, pre-dessert etc.).
There are cheaper five-star restaurants, but you do get more for your money here. The staff is incredibly attentive, very welcoming, and spot-on with recommendations. I'm looking forward to going back.
Pros: great food and great service

Went for our 5th anniv with high expectations and for the most part they were met.
Although we had very friendly service and were seated promptly when we arrived early...overall the service was very standard. Not amazing service like you expect from this level of restaurant. Nice folks, and at times on the ball just think I was expecting more.
The good - the hot and cold dishes were very good; the sushi great. I'll admit the tempura, California rolls and soft shell crab roll were very good quality but fairly standard in taste and presentation. Now you move into tuna and WOW. I mean WOW. If it had tuna, it was amazing.
The tuna with cilanto cold dish - fantastic. The spicy tuna roll - glorious. I mean I hate spicy tuna roll, tried this one and was blown away. Truly amazing.
We actually loved everything but there were 3-4 dished that just blew the rest away.
Dessert was great too. Delicious green te ice cream but the mochi ice cream was superb. Well worth the money and absolutely delicious. We will drive to Dallas (from Austin) just to have it again. Think $90-100 per person without drinks.
Pros: tuna!, mochi ice cream
Cons: parking attendants at hotel

Impressive hip decor for a Hotel, fun nightlife for Dallas, and a great locaton if you are looking to centrally locate yourself in the Dallas Downtown area. This downtown Dallas hotel has a fantastic restaurant and the pool has pretty women and hunky men in the summer! My girlfriends go there when it warms up to sip by the pool during the great happy hours they have and show of their new summer strappy dresses. I say give it a try, there really is something for everybody at this hip and cool hotel in downtown Dallas.
Pros: Hip hotel and great service
Cons: not a one

Our party of five had dinner at Dragonfly last night I have to admit that we we worried, after reading some of the not-so-flattering reviews on CitySearch.... Our experience, however, was definitely worthy of five gold stars! We had reservations at 7pm, and the friendly valet pointed us in the right direction. The Hotel ZaZa is a feast for the eyes! Our table was in a room ringed by curtains, which made for a very quiet, intimate, cosy setting. We were served promptly. The food was outstanding! There was a foie gras starter special, which we ordered. I can easily say that we have never had such foie gras before, even at Abacus. The food, the wine, was excellent. All in all, a wonderful experience, and definitely much, much better than the other "reviews" would lead you to believe. We eat out at the top Dallas restaurants often (at least one a week), and DragonFly is definitely on our "return" list!

Nana is one of the most romantic and elegant restaurants that Dallas has to offer. The food is always amazing and of the highest quality. Their Friday Night Flights is an amazing deal and a little bit of a secret. On the first Friday of each month they offer three samplings of wines and bites of food specially selected and prepared by their chef for only $20. Nana is classic and is an establishment to Dallas!
Pros: Amazing view, excellent food

This hotel is amazing. It is clean and pretty reasonable for downtown Dallas. The rooms are huge and the beds are so comfortable. I loved that the beds had a down comforter on it. It was like home away from home. The staff is friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

The Sixth Floor Museum is a unique and interesting compilation of data on JFK, his life and his death. However, I found it to be very intense,not in a bad way but young children could not comprehend what this means to our nation, past or present. They may become bored or even overwhelmed with all there is to see here. And that would take away from this unique experience for adults. If you go, you have to go all the way through to get to the journal books at the end where you can write your reflections on what you've seen and heard.
Pros: important history, not one sided views, unique
Cons: , gift shop
