    Dining room
    Skip S.

    This is one of the best hotels in Dallas. Amazing place with wonderful history. Location is right in the middle of town and close to downtown. Pricey but wonderful. The bar is beautiful and the dining room is beautiful.

    Absolutely stunning!! The moment you walk in and are greeted, you know you're in for a real treat. Pure elegance surrounds you. The staff are always pleasant and eager to assist. The menus are over the top. This time I tried the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Highly recommend! If you're looking for a beautiful, over the top restaurant, please go to The Mansion.

    I don't know what this dessert was but it was SO GOOD

    I treated my daughter to afternoon tea for her birthday. The valet experience was a bit off-putting we waited several minutes without acknowledgment before anyone approached us. Once inside, though, the experience quickly turned around. As an architecture lover, I was blown away by the beautifully restored mansion. Every room was grand, thoughtfully designed, and full of ornate details. The hostess noticed my interest and gave me a booklet on the mansion's history, which I appreciated. We were seated promptly, with fireplaces lit and proper, polished service throughout. The tea service was lovely: light, airy scones with cream and jam, and excellent finger sandwiches. Before the dessert course we had this nice creamy smooth and not too sweet dessert that was a standout favorite. The final dessert course, inspired by Salvador Dalí and surrealist art, was visually stunning with incredible chocolate detail, but unfortunately far too sweet and fruit-forward for my taste. We didn't finish either. Despite the rough valet start and overly sweet desserts, we had a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning and having a meal in one of the other gorgeous dining areas.

    Second time to restaurant week at the Mansion and this time was just as good. The service here is incredible. We got sat in the sun room area so had some great views and almost felt like we weren't in Dallas. To start with we got the rolls which were really good. Soft and fluffy with some butter was yum. I got the lobster chopped salad as my first course. This was a phenomenal salad that is one of the best I have ever had. The dressing was the perfect amount and there was a ton of lobster on it. I was expecting one small piece of lobster so was very happy with all of it. The only part I didn't like was the fennel in the salad but that's a personal taste issue and I still ate it all. For the second course I got the scallop on the half shell. Was cooked perfectly and so buttery exactly how scallops are supposed to be. I could have easily eaten many more of these. For my main, I got the oak smoked beef cheeks. These were so tender and just fell apart with a fork. They did have a very strong oak smoke flavor but with the eggplant caponata beneath the cheeks, it worked really well. My dessert was the chocolate raspberry tiramisu which was also good. I like how it was different from normal tiramisu but still was a tiramisu. I've only ever been for restaurant week but should really go back another time just for a regular meal.

    Hey fellas, does you GF/Wife watch shows like Bridgerton or Downton Abbey? Has she ever mentioned wanting to do an afternoon tea? Well, that's what I set out to find her on a recent trip to Dallas. Checked out a few places but settled on The Mansion Restaurant. Reservation made; Titanic Exhibit tickets purchased. Spent the morning finding out if the passenger I was assigned lived! Called to move our reservation up as we finished early. Seated immediately; wasn't even given any hassle regarding my cowboy hat. Tea choices made and glasses of Bollinger were poured. Let me touch on something for a moment. I live outside Austin in Hays County. There MIGHT be 3 restaurants in my county that has an ahhum "pastry chef" employed. Tortillas are another story... Finger sandwiches delivered along with some nice looking small sweet bites served on a tower. Jam and clotted cream (never had it before) on the bottom for the scones if that was your thing. GF doesn't even like fish but liked the Smoked Salmon. Cucumber version was refreshing with mint leaves tucked between the bread. Curry Chicken was a new experience for both of us. Seriously, never thought of adding curry powder to chicken salad!! All the bites we had were tasty and unfortunately we left the leftovers in the hotel when we left Dallas. No gold flake for me! As I'm writing this I'm staring over at a 3 star review from Lynn C giving the same experience 3 starts citing boring interior and cheap ingredients. OMG, was it Butter Crust bread??? This is a premium experience in a premium spot. Was it worth basically $300 for two with automatic gratuity plus some cash for server and valet? This is an easy yes because of the smile on her face.

    If you're looking for an elegant experience, definitely try this restaurant. The setting is beautiful, very sophisticated and ornate. Sat in the library and had a great meal. The cocktails were crafty and unique. The wine list unbelievably complete with a huge price range and quality. The special of the night was the halibut which was delicate and delicious. Our appetizers were equally delightful, we had the lobster and caviar lumpia. Our Wayne was a beautiful St Emillion from a winery that we had visited 10 years ago, but I've never seen their wine here in the states at a restaurant. The service was impeccable. Overall, an excellent experience.

    A true fine dining experience! Service was excellent, steak cooked perfectly and don't skip the fries! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas so I highly recommend for a festive celebratory meal!

    Granola Parfait
    Maggie J.

    Really enjoyed my breakfast at the restaurant while staying in the hotel. The yogurt parfait was served with vanilla greek yogurt and was light but satisfying. My girlfriend said that the avocado toast was great. They had a really good selection of hot teas and the service was very attentive.

    Truly HOSPITABLE waitress par excellence. You must witness her knowledgeable, warm service.
    Gary I.

    Visited the Mansion Restaurant at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek sometime around 1997 for a pleasant lunch. At its conclusion, a thoughtful waitress took me on a mini tour of the ground floor. This time around I was shown an ornate ceiling next to the grand dining room by possibly the same person which speaks to the loyalty of the Mansion employees.   Driving up to the Mansion, it is a class act as an aesthetic site having a pleasant mélange of mostly Italianate architecture as well as interior touches of pan European elements. Built in the Roaring Twenties by a cotton king who in his own way mirrored Wm. Randolph Hearst in his acquisition of European objets d'Art.  Using the spectacular total solar eclipse in Dallas, I wanted to return to the Mansion for a more involved 7 course wine pairing dining experience. My waitress in my enclosed photo was a truly HOSPITABLE waitress par excellence.  You must witness her knowledgeable, warm service as well as being escorted toward the restroom by a personable house receptionist. Fine service here seems to be the Mansion's strong point.  0) Parker House Roll: Yeasty, bit sticky, sour, browned in egg wash. Honey butter.  00) Amuse Bouche: Gazpacho creamy, acidic tomato, tarragon, garlic, cilantro greens.  1) Big Eye Tuna Crudo: Sashimi shaped like a rose, apple, Yuzu/Japanse citrus Ponzu/Japanese soy sauce, rice vinegar  1a) Schramsberg Mirabelle Brut Rosé Vin Pétillant, CA NV Scents of waxy rose, strawberry, raspberry, refreshing acidic, bitter  2) Foie Gras Torchon: Disappointing. Very pasty, bland,  infused with duck fat so it lost its signature liver gaminess. Dots of puréed strawberry confiture, feathery frisée.   2a) Marchesi Antinori, Muffato de la Sala, Umbria, Italia 2009: Like Haute Sauterne undergoing pourriture noble, but not as sweet. Strawberry, plummy, acidic, smooth, cleansing bitterness.  3) Carrot Coconut Velouté w/ Lemon grass infusion blanketing shallot crisps, fresno chile.  3a) Leitz, Dragonston Riesling, Rheingau, Deutschland 2021:  Pineapple, citrus, chalky, acidic 4) Halibut: Perfectly grilled, not overcooked yet outer crispiness. Sunchoke root, cucumber, celery. Subtle Leek Vinaigrette made smoky by Japanese Katsuo Bushi Umami broth.  4a) Darioush, Viognier, Napa CA 2021: Lemon, white peach, melon, juicy, dry, buttery  5) Chevre Agnolotti: Pillows of pasta in a cheesy meyer lemon sauce, green pea shoots.  5a) San Giovanni, Grechetto & Procanico, Orvieto Classico, Italia 2021:  Grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, white pepper, acidic.  6) Smoked Rohan Duck Breast: Thick tranche of plush duck w/ a chaw. Agrodolce orange Grand Marnier based Sauce Bordelaise. Braised Belgian Endive in light broth, vegetal garnish.  6a) Dom Baronarques, Baron Philippe Rothschild, Limoux Langue d'Oc 2010: Dark fruits, grainy tannins, sweet yet astringent.   6b) Calamansi/Phillipino lime Sorbet to clear the palate.  7) Cheese Cake: Yuzu infused curd, sugar braised Orange Confit slice, Cardamom Crème Chantilly, buttery graham cracker crust. Nasturtium flower  7a) Vietti la Cascinetta, Moscato d'Asti, Piedmonte, Italia 2022: Sparkling, smooth sweet, waxy lemon, apricot, loquat, laichi. Executive Chef Charles Olalia was Chef de Cuisine at noted Los Angeles Michelin starred Patina where I had the pleasure to experience his cuisine, & Phillipino restaurant Ma'am, Sir, also at Guy Savoy & French Laundry. Mansion is blessed under his direction.  PS Don't forget to pet the Mansion kitty who has her own brass day bed near the hotel entrance. 5 stars

    5 stars and it rivals a few well-known fine dining places in Southern California. They have all the details covered- from storing your winter coat, handing you the menu and draping the napkin on your lap to escorting you directly to the bathroom and folding your napkin while you're gone. They pick up crumbs and keep your space tidy, and refill your water with haste. Did not feel rushed or impatient at any point. Everything is perfectly timed. If you don't care about all that, their food is what truly shines. Wine menu is extensive and excellent. We were tempted by the tasting menu but ultimately decided to share the crab cake, filet mignon, fish of the day (striped bass), mashed potatoes, and Texas sheet cake. They also offered an amuse bouche of a spicy tomato soup, and even capped off our meal with a little chocolate brownie. Every single dish was excellent, which is a difficult feat. Usually one dish is just okay. Not here. They do everything quite well. And I haven't even mentioned the setting. Exquisitely detailed ceilings, glass windows, a fireplace, sweeping views from the staircase, and even a lovely bar area with music. One of the most romantic restaurants I've visited.

    Excellent Breakfast spot just North of Uptown. Best Eggs Benedict in Dallas! Nice after hours bar, always crowded.

The staff was very welcoming, and the other guests I encountered were friendly and sociable. The drinks were excellent. On my first visit, I had the Hugo Spritz, which was mixed to perfection. During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

At one point I made the joke that I should be on my second drink by now(this turned into a joke about how I should be on my third). When the drinks finally came, everyone but mine was delivered, the waitress said that she was running back up to grab mine. She came back with my drink 10 minutes later.

Waited for another long period of time and then my food was delivered. Was an apology of any sort ever given, no. Our waitress came to check back on the table very sparingly to the point we were waiting to place a dessert order so long we decided to take it to go. Ordered the monkey bread, got back to eat it and all the dough was raw. $200 bill between food and drinks for my wife and I and an appetizer for the table(there were others and other bills as well), still tipped 20% but there I would never recommend this restaurant for the service or the food. Great atmosphere great views. Service doesn't match the vibe.
