Monarch, Quarter Acre, and the Heritage Table Offer Tasting Menus in DFW | Eater Dallas
"Built around a classical fine-dining ethos championed by Maple Hospitality’s Danny Grant and executive chef Jason Rohan, this skyscraper-level restaurant delivers an immaculate six-course tasting experience that aims for precision and the standards of traditional haute cuisine. The opening bites exemplify that approach—a bruschetta topped with fava-bean hummus and whipped feta brightened by Meyer lemon, developed alongside a mini-briochette idea from the pastry chef—paired with a grilled lamb chop and Mediterranean accents. The rest of the menu leans toward classics: steak, branzino, scallops, foie gras and a beloved on-menu rigatoni, while a playful theatrical dessert called the Pearl (Madagascar vanilla mousse, raspberry puree and hazelnut sponge set on a foam “cloud” the diner cracks open) adds showmanship. Service is immaculate and the dining room offers sweeping Downtown Dallas views; overall the tasting follows old-school rules of fine dining with a few contemporary, boundary-pushing moments." - Courtney E.
