Description

The iconic Dallas restaurant-the one made famous by Dean Fearing and his Southwestern duds-was cast adrift during (and especially after) chef John Tesar's brief tenure. But newcomer Bruno Davaillon has resurrected the grand old place through an infusion of fresh, local ingredients and French-honed technique. The shrimp cocktail is a revelation, using horseradish infused panna cotta and an intense tomato reduction to lift cocktail sauce to a new level, part whimsical, part ethereal. Colorado rack of lamb is supple and clean in flavor. Even when the chef lowers himself to cook good old Southern grits, they are organic and cooked ever so slowly until they emerge as airy, memorable polenta-like cakes.

  • 2008 | Best Fancy Restaurant

    New Mansion chef John Tesar is the dark horse on the Dallas dining terrain, the diamond in the rough. This outsider could not compete with or build upon the traditions that unfolded from The Mansion through the decades under the Lucchese-booted Dean Fearing. So, he wisely chose to focus on foodstuff and flavor with laser precision as the restaurant received a much-needed multimillion-dollar makeover. Its dusty, cobwebbed Southwestern appointments have largely disappeared, though Mansion... More »

  • 2007 | Best Appetizer

    Ultimately, the purpose of an appetizer is to whet, to arouse, to salivate. It's to kick-start the innards and make them receptive to the more weighty compositions to follow. Mansion Chef John Tesar's crab "scampi style" does this. Six ounces of king crab leg meat is torn from the shell in ropes, flecked with parsley and set in a pool of Riesling butter sauce with touches of garlic and shallot. Riesling creeps to the forefront, launching a fascinating interplay of focused minerality and... More »

  • 2000 | Best Manhattan

    The clubby, old school décor, the sophisticated tunes from the piano player, and the, um, of-a-certain-age crowd, demand that you order something other than "another cold one" or a Run, Jump, Skip, and Go Nekkid. Generous pours of first-rate bourbon in elegantly muscular glasses with the perfect amount of vermouth and one cherry, mmm...it just doesn't get much more tasteful than that. But don't try tying the cherry stem with your tongue and still expect to get laid. More »
