A group of us went last night for the first time. LOVED IT! If you want a table on the weekend, book well in advance. It's a small place, holds less than 100 people and has a wonderful bar area. The atmosphere is great; red leather booths, swanky, old Hollywood vibe. The food was fantastic! Our group ordered a mix; the honey truffle chicken, steaks, lobster mac, wedge salad, general tso's cauliflower, mushrooms and the giant cotton candy in a martini glass with a roman candle thing in it. There was a DJ and he was really good, as well. One thing, I spoke with Emily when I called and she was so eager to tell me that there was a "strict dress code"...that was definitely BS. It's your standard Dallas attire at a steak house. There were men and women both in jeans, people in tshirts, jean shorts, a hoodie sweatshirt...etc. However, they did draw the line at a guy trying to walk in and pick up his to-go pizza, with flip flops on. He paid the valet to borrow his shoes while he went inside to get his pizza .
