Kim BellaceJune 26, 2017Our favorite restaurant in dallas! The best way to try this restaurant is M-Thur with their 5 or 8 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Pricey but worth EVERY penny!!
Best restaurant in Dallas. Chef Rathbun creates the most amazing dishes. German chocolate cake is to die for. Also order some lobster shooters.
Armand CamaretMarch 22, 2017I probably ate the best steak ever! Awesome waiter, the chef came to greet us. Deserts are amazing too. A great place to have a romantic dinner.
B PJuly 29, 2016The avocado shooter was amazing. Been told the lobster shooter is a must although I had the veggie substitute
- Robyn HarmanSeptember 9, 2018Two words: lobster shooters. You must try them. This place is pricey fine dining and perfect for a date night or special occasion. A true Dallas staple.
Robyn FDecember 13, 2011What can you say about this long-time hot spot for Dallas? Fantastic food, swank atmosphere & great service. Hard to beat if you want to impress. Something for everyone. Never had a so-so meal.
Vince PoscenteAugust 3, 2011I've lived in Dallas for over 17 years. Abacus consistently delivers an extraordinary menu and wine list. The service is always personable and professional.

Juicy CoutureSeptember 28, 2010The chef of this restaurant just beat Bobby Flay on Iron Chef, and after tasting his soft-shell crab BLT, you’ll declare him victor, too (Note: not always in season, but everything is really good).
