10Best Says

Most romantic restaurant in Texas? According to Food & Wine it's The French Room, the fine dining spot inside Dallas' Adolphus Hotel. The surrounds are opulent, the service is smooth as Bearnaise and the menu is everything you'd expect a restaurant of this caliber to be. Overseeing the kitchen is executive chef Anthony Dispensa, whose repertoire includes working at London's two-star Michelin restaurant, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. As for the food, expect to find everything from veal sweetbreads and foie gras torchon to dry-aged ribeye with bordelaise sauce and Long Island duck. Our tip? Take the plunge and go for the five-course tasting menu. Sure, at $110 a pop plus another $60 to $100 for wine pairing, it's not the place to come if you're on a budget. But as bucket list places go, it's up there with the best of them.
