Built in the early 20th century by one of Texas' wealthiest men, cotton magnate Sheppard King, the justifiably self-proclaimed mansion still has original stained-glass windows imported from England, a 16th-century stone mantel from Germany and cathedral doors from Spain around its marble rotunda. Ev...

Though the setting is still gorgeous and celebrities choose the hotel at The Mansion as their hideout, it feels more like the home of a very elegant, very rich old aunt than the cutting edge restaurant it once was. And if a restaurant is going to be one of the most expensive in the state, it had bet...

Special Birthdays - user review
The food is wonderful whether you are having cocktails in the cozy bar (order the multi level tray of appetizers), or in the (dress code engorced) fine dining room. Chef Dean has moved on, but has trained this staff. His Lobster Taco, and Burgundy Pork Chop are wonderful. Tell them it is a birthday ...

Save your money! - user review
We chose to dine on Chef Dan Fearing's renowned food on Valentine's Day and had the special five course menu. The Mansion itself was a disappointment it consisted of a "Mansion" with a pastel colored tower grafted onto its side! TACKY! As for the restaurant, the food and service was terrib...

Don´t Believe the Hype - user review
After many years of curiosity about this legend of Dallas, a group of us finally dined here. Not only was the service TERRIBLE, but the food was cold and in no way anything to write home about.
