Kalita Humphreys Theater
2024 May 20
This is the only existing theatre designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and it happens to be in Dallas. It was constructed in 1959 and recognized as a historical landmark in 2007. We saw the spanish guitar player, Andrea Gonzales Caballero, and it was fantastic. I play a lot of guitar myself so I really enjoyed the show. Parking was also very convenient.
Ostra Restaurant
2024 Feb 02
This is a very good restaurant! We actually went twice within a week for cocktails and a quick bite to eat. I must say that everyone here was very nice and attentive. The manager, Ed Parker, came to check on us and started dropping history about the area and the hotel, which I really enjoyed hearing about. Then he explained the hotels amenities such as the Mokara spa. I wish I had gotten my last massage here because it seems to be the best in town! We can't wait to come back, and I also LOVE the blue bartop. The crab cake is very good as well as the blackened redfish sandwich! My wife commented on how it didn't seem blackened, but we still really loved it. Next time, we plan on sitting at a table for a nice dinner because Ostra is a must!
Bliss

This place is phenomenal. We went for the second time, and it was 10 out of 10, just like the first time. It happened to be restaurant week, so we went ahead and picked our items from that portion of the menu.
We went with the arugula salad, beef tenderloin, Mediterranean branzino, pumpkin cheesecake, and the butter cake. Everything was done to perfection. I'm not big into sweets or deserts, but the pumpkin cheesecake was outstanding.
Bliss has exceptional service, top-notch food, and a great selection of fine wine. They do not have cocktails/liqour due to being within a couple hundred feet of a school/church, but you can actually bring your own if you wanted to. The outdoor area is lovely as well, so keep that in mind for when the weather is nice.

The Tomahawk Den

This place has an amazing atmosphere, as well as drinks and service!
My filet was perfectly cooked but under seasoned. I would have also preferred more side options such as truffle mac n' cheese, ginnochi, fire roasted carrots, or even crabcakes. The roasted corn was not even a cobs worth, but it was still delicious.
I recommend the passion honey cocktail and the parmasien truffle potatoes with gua jillo dust.
I will say that this restaurant is overpriced. We spent a grand for 4 adults and 2 kids menu items. I have been to a lot of steakhouses, and that is nuts, considering we didn't even stay very long.
The staff are very nice and the restaurant is gorgeous.

Zapote Bar

The cocktail list here is uniquely amazing. I really dig how they incorporate a flavor map.
The fizz colada is one of the most interesting and best tasting cocktails I've ever had. 🍸
