Message From The Adolphus Hotel

Ambiance and cuisine combined to create a 5-star epicurean delight.

  • Voted "Best Hotel Restaurant"
  • Award-winning chef
  • Romantic atmosphere

Imagine dining on sumptuous French cuisine under an 18-foot domed ceiling adorned with frescoes. Hand-blown crystal chandeliers and gilt sconces cast their glow upon your table for the perfect mood lighting. If ever there was a restaurant that made you feel like royalty, this is it. The hotel's crown jewel, the award-winning Dallas French Room restaurant offers a rare dining experience where ambience and cuisine combine to create a five-star epicurean delight. Executive Chef Jason C. Weaver came to Dallas to join The French Room restaurant in Aug 2005, bringing over a decade of experience and execution at some of America's top hotels and restaurants.
