Located in the old Boyd Hotel which was built in 1916, it is one of the oldest hotels still standing in Dallas. This building is one of the few remaining cast iron front buildings. Many of Deep Ellum's Blues musicians stayed at the Boyd. Chef Tracy Miller has turned this old hotel into one of the best restaurants in the city. As you walk up to the restaurant you might think to yourself this is the restaurant everybody is talking about? You then walk inside to this very contemporary little boutique restaurant with music in the background dim lighting and a very friendly greeter at the door, if you are lucky the greeter may even be Chef Tracy Miller. The menu is spilt into short order and tall order but all dishes are relatively small but still fulfilling.

Can't miss dishes include: All desserts are amazing, specifically the cinnamon donuts and chocolate souffle with cookies and a miniature chocolate shake. Tuna tartare, Sea Bass, Buffalo Burger, Lamb Chops.

Scene: Very trendy. Off the beaten path (outside of Uptown!)

Service: Excellent attentive service.

Negatives: No Liquor but great selection of wine and champagne.

Notes: Even though liquor is not served they have a short list of custom made drinks such as a champagne mojito.

Cost: At least $60 per person.

Recommendation: Great place for special occassion or romantic date.


Highly Recommended.
