Description

The French Room remains one of Dallas' truly great plunges into dining opulence. Far from French, the cuisine is an inbred mutt of culinary royalty, with genetic specks from a few European corners pestered with American ingenuity and freshened with Japanese anal retentiveness. It's armed with stellar service, meticulously crafted culinary visuals, dazzling palate titillation and cherubs flirting with cloud puffs on the ceiling. What more could you want? Well, you could get a hotel room for dessert.

    French Feint

    By Mark Stuertz | Thu, November 24, 2005

    It's early in The French Room. It's filled not with diners but with music plucked and bowed from a string quartet. A harpsichord joins the jam. Later, "Musette" by J.S. Bach is played. On a harp. The music does much to craft the rarefied... More »

    The French always complicate things. From brandy to sparkling white wine to butter, everything they produce succumbs to regional designations. While Land O' Lakes tastes the same whether dolloped on bread at the French Room or melted over Eggo... More »

    You must make a reservation and appropriate attire is required. This is one of the best upscale restaurants in Dallas for both food and service, and the decor is quite similar to that which you would find in Europe.

  • 2007 | Best Fancy Restaurant

    Despite its title, there is very little French in the French Room--save for the furiousness of its kitchen technique. It's more of an Italian-New York mash deliciously henpecked with Asian pinches and California thumbprints. The glory of it, aside from the paunchy flushed cherubs romping among the ceiling clouds and the gilded arches and explosive floral formations teasing the chandeliers and the greenish marble floor, is how the plates launch the senses into transcendence.
