My dinner last night at this restaurant was remarkable. It was 5th dining experience here (all pleasant) so I wanted to testify to its consistency. I was utterly shocked to see some of the negative reviews when I came online to record my experience. It was like they were at a different place altogether. I know a restaurant can have have off nights but I have had nothing but stellar food and service each time I have been here. \r

I had forgotten it was restaurant week, but once we got there and saw the special menu, we decided to try it. Each bite was to-die-far. We had a salmon that was wrapped in a minty flavored leaf with a coconut and serrano sauce and a very creative black bean and roast banana puree - stunning! All the food was superb but that dish was the best I have ever had. I hope they put it on their regular menu. The short ribs and corn pudding tamales were wonderful too. \r

Our service was outstanding as usual - professional and friendly without being overbearing or snooty (like the Mansion). The room is perhaps the most beautiful in all Dallas, cutting-edge crisp, yet warm and inviting. \r

For my money, this is the best restaurant in Dallas.
Pros: great food, service and atmosphere
Cons: weekends hard to get reservations
