The Mansion Restaurant at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek

Dallas has no shortage of fine dining options, but the Mansion Restaurant, tucked inside the iconic Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek hotel-- has remained a standout for more than 35 years. Luxuriously kitted out with sleek contemporary furnishings, Palladian windows and ornate ceilings, this former estate of a 1920s-era cotton magnate oozes all the lavishness you'd expect to find. And the cuisine, showcasing modern American dishes, is equally exquisite. The à la carte menu features everything from beef tartar with smoked duck egg to Cajun black tiger prawn tempura and Akaushi wagyu sirloin. For a show-stopping special occasion dinner, the gourmand tasting menu (priced at $125) is certainly worth seeking out. If you're looking for the ultimate Dallas dining experience, this is the place to go.
