As a frequent business traveler, both internationally and within the US to over 65 destinations annually, I'd have to rate the revamped Restaurant and Lounge at the Renaissance as one of the "Top 10" Hotel restaurants in the world! The Renaissance in Dallas got it right when the remodeled this place. The decor is chic, without going overboard, the ambiance is both lively and modern romantic, and the menu selections and food are absolutely fantastic! The food is fresh (locally procurred) and favorable, and a has variety of selections without being too overwhelming. The grilled brussel sprouts with pork in a balsamic reduction is out of this world. The crab dip, a favorite of my wife's, is also great--with a very limited amount of cream cheese and ton's of crab meet wonderfully blended. All the food is prepared in an open grill/kitchen along one wall. They have a nice selection of infused spirits at the bar they do themselves in-house. The bar itself is a site to see, adding to the overall ambiance to the lounge. Despite having access to the club lounge, I much prefer dining and have cocktails in the "Asador Bar." Expect to see this bar highlighted soon in the best travel magazines.
PS. The hotel and entire staff are outstanding, and by far the nicest hotel in the Dallas Market Center area.
