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.

    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... More >

    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 ambiance.... More >

  • Buttering Upscale

    By Dave Faries | Thu, December 20, 2001

    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 waf... More >

  • Food Thinking

    By Mark Stuertz | Thu, September 27, 2001

    Bond traders weren't the only ones abruptly throttled by early September's airborne spittle from hell. Food pros as well as one of the most lauded restaurant idols were also vaporized in the maelstrom. Windows on the World, that famous 40,000-squ... More >

  • Feeding Frenzy

    By Dave Faries | Thu, July 26, 2001

    Retro commercials on TV Land assure us of several critical things. A Coke, for example, tamed angry 1970s linebackers. Cartoon owls knew the answers to universal riddles, like the number of licks necessary to break through to the center of a Toot... More >

    Sinful Sustenance

    By Dave Faries | Thu, November 02, 2000

    At some point in time, humans discovered sugar, salt, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, high-fructose corn syrup, and all of the other ingredients that make those hours between meals worthwhile. Only a few infallible individuals--the pope, Al ... 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.
