Description

After a brief hiatus, Dallas' longtime fine-dining institution is back with most of its luster intact--plus something new, lunch service. The superb continental cuisine and polished service remain, with just a few small hitches on our visit. We enjoyed the excellent Caesar and house salads and the perfectly moist Chilean sea bass, and our youngster was treated graciously with house-made fried chicken tenders (it's not on the menu). The crème brulee flavored with Grand Marnier was outstanding.

    When we get hold of a good word, we like to run it into the ground. Especially when it makes us appear smarter than our associate degree in kitchen physics would imply. But not everybody feels this way, especially longtime Dallas chef Avner... More »

    The Riviera is practically a Dallas Institution, distinguished by its suave continental food and sensibility. To that end, its service execution is tight and remorselessly efficient. While it embraces a level of formality that can leave you a little chilly, it's impressive nonetheless: attentive and well-orchestrated to the point of dizziness. Wine glasses are whisked away immediately after the wine is ordered and replaced to reflect the appropriate type of wine. The ensuing service is... More »
