City Hall Bistro

I had the pleasure of eating at City Hall Bistro for an amazing Brunch! Darrin was an amazing server and gave amazing service and food suggestions. I had the Crab Cake Sandwich and it was PHENOMENAL!! Cooked to perfection and was delicious! Coffee was tasty as well. If you’re looking for a very classy, fast, and delicious Brunch, this is the spot! Thank you City Hall Bistro!

The pancakes tasted similar to frozen pancakes and the biscuits were just okay but $6 a piece which is very overpriced. The waiter was great and the atmosphere was good and had a pretty cool looking restaurant.

Had a lovely time with a friend yesterday. They make excellent Latte and service is pleasant and really relaxed. The food recommendations we received from our server excellent. I had Short Rib with Potatoes. We shared a Vanilla pudding toast of some sort it. It was very delicious. Definitely would come back again.

City Hall Bistro is inside the gorgeous Adolphus Hotel in downtown. I live close by and finally decided to go after many years. The brunch was great and not too busy. The spicy bloody mary was one of the best I have had. Definitely come here if you're in downtown, come early they close at 2 on the weekends.

We came for breakfast at City Hall Bistro the day after my birthday, I went with my son, the atmosphere is relaxed and I love the natural plants in the place, the food was delicious, good taste and on time. Yahaira was our waitress and she took excellent care of us, thank you. I had the Spinach and mushroom omelet and my son had a breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious. Thank you!

Probably the best meal we had in Dallas- the brunch! Everything was perfect - the location, ambience, service, food and $$. This is located in the Adolfus hotel - Such a pretty place!! The omelette was really good and highlight was the custard orange blossom- vanilla french toast - exceptional! We also got a side of the turkey sausage - house made - very flavourful! This is a must try brunch place and I highly recommend it!

The food and service was great. I would recommend eating here. I had the vanilla brick French toast and the burger. My friends tried other dishes.

Had breakfast here or each morning during our stay. The food was great and really can’t speak highly enough of the service. Our waiter was wonderful and Eduardo the manager was very accommodating and friendly and helping my family with a birthday surprise. The hostess Daisy was sweet and was super helpful when housekeeping accidentally took some custom glassware from our room thinking it belonged to the hotel. Will definitely return on another trip!

Stopped in on whim. So glad I did!!! Great service and amazing food! Ate at the bar and our bartender Heather was confident in her skills. We asked what do you make good, her reply: everything I make is good. Now usually this makes me skeptical and many can't own this statement. But Heather!!!! Wooooooowwww!!! Between my friend and I we had 4 drinks, each one executed perfectly!!!! Yes! A+! Service was great, food ....... Amazing!!! I had the Cobb Salad with brisket burnt ends..... oh my goodness!!!! Dee-lish-us!!!! Yum!!!! I can feel good by saying I had a salad. Lol. But definitely felt more like a full meal! The hotel is beautiful and the setting was relaxing and inviting. Great ambiance! Overall 5 stars!

Super friendly and fast service. I ordered a bowl of berries: $8 nice and fresh Two eggs over easy $8 good Toast $6(!!) one slice cut in half- and actually burnt on one side Coffee $3 If I wasn't in a rush I would have returned the burnt piece of toast - especially after seeing they charged $6 for it But service and atmosphere were very nice

Excellent food. Great service. Dharmesh took care of us. We had the American Breakfast.

Great service. Good brunch. I loved the breakfast croissant. And one of the ladies said I was good looking. That's worth an extra star.

Bland and expensive...don't go here!!!!!!!! Server opened check book in front of our table to see if we tipped while we were still sitting.

Update: It's been 5 months since my last review update and felt I need to comment about our visit yesterday for lunch. It was a Thursday around 12:30. The hostess was very nice and fulfilled my request for a table as far away from a group of 6-7 people that were pretty loud. Our server (not sure how to spell her name, I think Jenae) was extremely nice and we never needed to flag her down for anything. We diced to split an order of lemon pepper dry rub wings and an open-faced crab cake sandwich. The kitchen was kind enough to make us 2 plates for the sandwich, each with a 1/2 size crab cake. The wings were juicy & delicious. The sandwich was also really good. The only negative I would say is that the French fries were cold and we could tell they had been sitting around a while. Sans that one small "problem", we once again thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will most definitely be returning in the future.

Visiting Dallas for a wedding and had lunch here. Service and food were great! Atmosphere was just ok. We would eat here again though because the food & service was very good. We had the crab cakes and a turkey club sandwich. Both were delicious and good portion size!

Food was great, service was even better. Crystal was our server. Will be back for breakfast next time I'm in Dallas.

Had brunch here with some friends. It was a little tough to find at first, but we were happy to walk through such a beautiful hotel to get there. Great dining spot and we were happy to have made reservations. Service was wonderful and attentive and food was delicious. I ordered a breakfast sandwich thinking it would be small- heck now that thing was enormous! Thankfully it was also delicious. I could snacked on it all day though. Truly delicious, I would not hesitate to go back again. I was surprised that they only had black coffee with a big coffee bar below I didn't realize you could not get a cappuccino. Not a deal breaker but surprising.

Great food, I had the short ribs, it was amazing. We had the best service, our servers name was Alex, he was on top of it. On a side note, he was also very knowledgeable about football.... Highly recommend this place. JahWarrior

We had a large group for a brunch baby shower. The staff were so friendly, kind, flexible, and accommodating. The Adolphus is always a wonderful place to have a meal, but Christmas at the Adolphus is just magical. Our food was great, the cocktails were excellent. I can't thank Stacy and Jalen enough, they took excellent care of our group and helped us make memories we will keep with us for years to come. Thank you so much for an incredible experience.

It's was great atmosphere. Food was AMAZING! Our waiter Stacy Martin was on top of his area and very hospitable toward us. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Solid hotel restaurant inside the Adolphus right in downtown Dallas!! Have had breakfast and drinks here and always had a good time. For breakfast, I've tried the Avocado Toast and Eggs Benedict. Both solid dishes, though slightly too salty for me. The service here is super super friendly and excellent!!! Never got the full dinner menu, but have shared the pizzas and they're delicious! Thin, fresh, with great sauces. Big fan of the Margherita in particular. In general, love the vibes. The restaurant area is airy and simple chic. The bar area is traditional with dark wood paneling. There's often live music on Friday nights and over the weekend. Great spot just to relax and catch up with friends.

We probably wouldn't have stopped in for breakfast without the hotel credit, but we'd come back for sure even without it. I was disappointed they were not offering their avocado toast, but the traditional breakfast was delicious. The kids shared a side of toast and fruit, they do not skimp on the fruit bowl and fill it with honeydew. We aren't usually big into hotel restaurants, but this one is a gem.

Loved the avocado toast! My husband's French toast was delicious too. The back part of the restaurant was much colder than the front half, so definitely try to sit closer to the front. Our waiter was hardly around, but we just grabbed a quick bite. I would have been annoyed if I was staying to enjoy brunch longer. I would go back again if staying in the hotel, but would not make a special trip back.

Great breakfast and service. Edwin and the rest of the staff made us feel like we were at home! Edwin was extremely engaging and attentive. Great start to our day!!! Thanks!!!

Oh man...where do I start?! City Hall Bistro is a hidden gem, for sure! Inside of the beautiful Adolphus Hotel in downtown Dallas, they are serving up some amazing fare. I arrived around 3:00pm and they had the "mid-day", limited menu available, but you're not missing out on anything. The cocktails are perfectly crafted and I'd highly recommend the Strawberry Maguey - such a refreshing drink! The sesame hummus is great as well, served with pita bread and some sort of crispy cheddar cracker thingy (hey, I'm not a professional food critic lol). Anyway...really good!! The kabobs are not to be missed either (chicken and beef) and if you don't order the Papas Bravas...did you really go to City Hall Bistro, bro!? Make sure to check this place out and take in the ambiance of the glorious landmark, Adolphus Hotel. Will definitely be back!

We made a reservation for the seven of us for Sunday brunch via opentable, and the server nicely brought us two plates of fresh fruit as complements for booking online. We ordered the french press which says enough for two but really was enough for four people. We all ordered different things and loved all our food: the eggs skillet, beef and eggs, tri tip hash, french toast, avocado toast. Can't go wrong with anything! So just depends if you want savory or sweet. They validate valet parking so a plus! It's inside the Adolphus hotel so very nice vibes. Highly recommend this place! We'll come back to try dinner as well!

Brunch was excellent. Loved my eggs Benedict and the French toast we shared. Ambience was great as was the service - friendly and attentive without being intrusive. This was the last meal before heading out to the airport - what a grand finale! The orange juice was fresh pressed but the coffee tasted like it had been sitting a bit. Overall though, enjoyed the experience and the food. Definitely worth visiting. P.s. We had some trouble locating the restaurant- it is inside a hotel and not visible from the streets. Am glad we persevered and found it!

This was my first time in the Adolphus Hotel and it is definitely a world apart from much of Dallas. A big part (and I'm sure portion of the price) of City Hall Bistro is the experience walking through the historic building to eat. The restaurant itself is bright and modern, contrasting nicely with the early 20th century hotel. The service and food were overall very good. Food (4/5): My baked egg skillet was about as good as shakshuka will get. It could have been a tad spicier, but that is more a matter of personal taste than anything. The garlic bread it comes with is fresh and hard to resist. Keto dieters should still load at least one slice with tomato sauce. My friend got the tri tip hash and liked it, but thought it was somewhat overpriced. Ambiance (5/5): As above, this is what will bring me back here. Service (4.5/5): Our server was very friendly and gave several recommendations off of the brunch menu. Food came out promptly. The only reason I am bumping this down from a 5 is it took a bit to flag down service to get the check.

I flew in to Dallas for a work conference and was put up at the Adolphus. This little gem of a restaurant tucked back in this funky old building has a small but powerful menu. I enjoyed my evening meal there. I had the pasta with bolognese and some broccolini. Everything was cooked to perfection. I would have preferred maybe a little bit less salt in the meat sauce but it was definitely rich and flavorful. The next morning I had a lovely breakfast of Benedict and coffee. The salad greens were fresh and the eggs were perfectly poached. Definitely recommend!

Amazing- Spectacular - Extraordinary- Delicious There are simply not enough adjectives in describing the lunch I had here at City Hall Bistro. Whether for business or personal occasions, I can hardly wait to make another reservation here soon. Sophisticated yet real comfortable is the setting. Brightly lit is the room. Views of their shiny open kitchen. Mirrors all around. Intimate corner booth. Incredible was their luncheon service. Packed was the room. Lovely to have our servers made us feel just as special and important as anyone else there. Fabulous was my lunch. Tantalizing "Fattoush Salad", beautifully halved heirloom tomatoes tossed in an unique touch of sumac vinaigrette; and, Alluring "Striped Bass Shakshuka", lovely piece of firm bass laid tenderly in a gentle pool of sweet and spicy scrumptiousness of tomatoes and peppers. CHEERS!

service was amazing, Darrin never left us waiting for anything, or needing anything. food was delicious & gluten free pancakes were an amazing treat!

Darren is a great server. Brunch is sooo good! This hotel is absolutely stunning. I love going here.

Fortunate to make it out on a Sunday night to this clean / modern looking spot within the Adolphus Hotel (second floor / need to walk up some stairs). First off the staff here is super friendly, especially the two managers, a man and a woman, both were pitching in serving and speaking with guests for any requests. Now on to the food, tons of new dishes I've never tried, or never tried these spins on these dishes. Here's the low down on each: 1. Charcuterie board - standard pieces of cheese and others but something that stood out is the almonds! I'll have to google those almonds but similar to North Italia, they have the best almonds on their board. 2. Crab and pimento gratin - one of my more favorite things I had, very creamy and tons of crab mixed in. 3. Shishito peppers - not big on peppers, but these had a sweet hint to them, mixed it with some honey and ciabatta and it was great 4. Foie gras torchon - a moose / pate type item 5. Grilled halloumi - I went ahead and googled this for both of us - Halloumi or hellim is a semi-hard, unripened, brined cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled. What other good things can you say about cheese? Because cheese is amazing, that's about all I have to say about that. 6. Shaksuka - never even heard of this, but served with grilled ciabatta, the tomato sauce and egg were really good. 7. Lebanese rice - also something else I have never had, it was a little lemony, and that kind of threw me off, but it was an interesting take on the dish, rice / sunflower seed concept, but was tasty still 8. Parsley and cucumber salad - very fresh, had some of the almonds in there, and see number 1 above, best almonds ever. 9. Pressed lamb shank - probably my favorite thing of the night, being a meat and potato guy, this was the best thing fo sho. 10. Churros - nothing out of the ordinary, good, but would be better with some ice cream!!! Overall it was a great experience, opened my mind, closed my eyes, and introduced my pallet to some new things. Glad to have made it out to try a new place.

My birthday dinner here was terrible. I made a reservation here in September to celebrate my birthday with a few of my girlfriends. Drinks were tasty and service started out good. We all ordered separate dishes and were on separate bills. I ordered the paella. I was never told everyone else's dishes would be served except for mine. As my friends were eating, I asked multiple times about my dish, and was told it would be 5 more minutes. The time just kept extending and extending. By then, I was guessing the waiter had no concept of time. It got to the point that our waiter was avoiding our table. All my friends were done with their dinners and I still had no dinner. I waived another employee over and asked to cancel my order since I had somewhere to be after dinner. We all tabbed out and the manager said they would take the paella off my tab...well, I'd hope so because I cancelled it based on not being served. She said they'd bring it out anyway which at this point I didn't even care to see it. They brought it out when we were leaving. A couple of us tasted it but by then it was just awkward and I was pissed. Never did our waiter tell us the paella would take long to be served or that all the other dishes would come out prior to the paella. They did nothing else to compensate for their error. No thank you and it ended up being a not so happy birthday dinner.

City Hall Bistro is located inside the historic Adolphus Hotel. It's tucked away on the second floor so it's definitely not something you would spot while walking past the outside. I had the pleasure of eating here for dinner during a work trip and was completely blown away. The table started with the hummus platter which was nice and creamy and some of the best Brussel sprouts I've ever had in my life. For my entrée I had the pull apart tender lamb shank which was paired with an excellent ricotta gnocchi. Every course was progressively better than the last. The dessert offerings all sounded delish so we ordered 3 to share. I honestly don't know which was better because they were all good in their own way. I am drooling thinking about the tart raspberry coulis, creamy hazelnut layer and the bitter taste of the coffee flavor and dark chocolate shell of the candy bar. I would fly to Dallas just to eat that dessert. I would have given 5 stars but the service was a little slow considering the number of people in the restaurant. Everything was made fresh and definitely worth waiting for though. I hope I am in the area again so I can return.

Great breakfast spot downtown. Located in the Adolphus Hotel, enter the lobby off of Commerce and go up the escalators and past the bar, entrance is on the left. I had the cinnamon roll French toast and oatmeal- both were excellent. The coffee is fresh and tasty. Their potato hash is really different and so good! Crispy skin, something like a ranchero sauce, and lots of flavor.

I must admit that I rarely spend over $20 on a dish, much less on multiple dishes. I've always told myself that you can get quality food for a fraction of the cost when it comes to fine dining restaurants. Regardless, I decided to visit City Hall Bistro, and I'm very glad I did. We ordered the Vegetable Gratin to start, which came with freshly made pita bread. Delicious. You can taste the quality immediately. We then waited patiently for our entrees which consisted of Tortelloni, Wagyu Short Rib, and the Jidori Chicken. And let me add that when I normally spend more money on food than I usually do, the meal rarely lives up to it's cost. I did not have this feeling at all while eating any of the dishes. Every dish BLEW my tastebuds away. I won't get too into details with each dish. I'll just say, if you're questioning the price, the food here is absolutely worth it.

Great service. Food was good. I had salmon with mushroom risotto. The risotto was very good. The salmon was okay. My husband had the fried chicken and it was very good and very big.

With the restoration of Dallas' historic Adolphus Hotel comes the addition of a great new Southern European inspired bistro. The name of the restaurant is a historical throwback as the original site intended for Dallas' city hall. As you walk past the doors into the glistening, tile-covered white space filled with brass accents, marble and wood you feel at ease. The spaciousness and the muted color palette make sure nothing is jarring toward your senses. The hosts and hostesses were very friendly and attentive as we check in for our reservation and we were immediately seated in the back room of the airy space, right past the large entirely open kitchen. I wish I could have sat in the front room to watch the chefs whirling around their work spaces and preparing the food, but the back room gave me a chance to focus more on the experience of the meal as well as my company. Our server was very friendly and helped us navigate the new menu. Everything is sharable and smaller, not tapas small, as to encourage you to try a variety of dishes from the menu. The menu has great variety, without being "all-over-the-place" and was very well thought out. We let the waiter surprise us with a quartino of a Lebanese red wine blend that went perfectly for our dinner choices. We also tried their Bit of Provence, a light, easy drinker, and Western Revue, tequila forward, cocktails which were totally opposite drinks but both delicious. We shared every plate we received and I recommend you do the same. We started with the shaved asparagus salad which was delightful. There was a ton of frisée which made it quite bitter but the asparagus and manchego worked beautifully together. The salad was followed by their take on atayef, a Lebanese pancake, that was filled with duck confit, pear, and black garlic aioli. The perfect pair for our wine, too. Soft, delicate pancakes met with salty, rich duck meat was luxurious without being too heavy. It wouldn't be a southern European experience without some Spanish food. We thoroughly enjoyed the paella Valenciana. The rice was cooked perfectly and the shellfish as well. The shrimp were juicy, heads included, the clams and mussels not too chewy or rubbery. The chorizo was heavy on the salt but everything else was seasoned very well. This dish could easily and happily serve 4 guests. After the seafood we went back to land with the house-made ricotta cavatelli with braised short rib. I was immediately struck by the wonderful textural bite of the cavatelli, the the buttery tenderness of the short rib but was slightly paralyzed by the saltiness of the dish. We couldn't finish it and so very unfortunate for us had to send it back. Had the salt not been so overwhelming, this would have probably been our favorite dish. We finished with a duo of desserts, because when you can't decide just have both! We ordered the churros with olive oil caramel and saffron ice cream as well as the chocolate crema catalana, which I feel is Spain's answer to France's pot de crème. The churros were hot, fresh, crispy and perfectly doughy on the inside. The caramel was rich and not too sweet although I had trouble finding the delicate saffron flavor in the ice cream. This dessert came with 5 rings of churros, so be prepared. The crema catalana was smooth, light and perfectly chocolatey, again without being to heavy or rich. (Bravo!) It was served alongside some cream with tiny orange segments and lots of orange zest. Chocolate and orange is a timeless, delicious combo. I did spread some on a churro for a delicious Spanish delight. We were completely delighted from start to finish and were impressed with the running of service, the menu, the quality of the food and our time there. We cannot wait to come back, especially for brunch! Congrats to the executive chef, the kitchen team, and the entire service team on their new opening. You have entered with a bang. Welcome to the Dallas dining scene!

We stayed at the hotel and checked the menu online before coming, I was excited to try the shortrib hash. Unfortunately, after we were seated I was told they are out of the shortrib hash, which is really the only reason we came. I got eggs Benedict instead, which were good but not amazing or anything. I'd probably go somewhere else next time since there are so many options within walking distance.

Hey for a Hotel restaurant this place is very organically conscious. They have a great pic two items for $15 and 2 of us had the hummus and a bowl of bolognese. Hey home run on both! Even though we were full the bolognese was so incredible it left us wanting more and more! Just delicious all around!

Stayed in Dallas for a night and decided to have dinner here. Neat location within the Adolphus hotel, took me a extra spin to find it. Entering you see a simple clean restaurant with a view of the location. Showed up at 5:30, relatively quiet compared to the hotel lounge which was bustling. Host recommended the Brussels sprouts and spring scallops so went with that. Brussels sprouts were good with subtle flavors, still a crunch to it. Oddly, on my first bite I thought it was salty but that disappeared by my second bite. Also had bacon, beef, and onions cooked with it. Beef didn't have much seasoning, but eat it with the onions and bacon and it goes very well. An enjoyable appetizer. Spring scallops, my first taste was somewhat fishy, but that quickly disappeared. The scallops themselves lacked some flavor due to dryness, just a bit of that scallop sweetness, but enjoyable nonetheless. Perhaps more sauce would have made it better, coming from me who normally complains that things are too salty or tasted too strong. It also had cauliflower and Brussels sprouts with it. Very much enjoyed the cauliflower with the sauce. The previous Brussels sprouts appetizer ruined these for me as these were plain compared so I didn't finish. Ended the night with cinnamon donut holes. Fluffy and good, very much enjoyed the fruitier dip that came with it.

Such a cute place inside the Aldophus Hotel the exterior and interior of this hotel is so unique it has a modern/old feels to it. You enter the hotel lobby and go up the escalator you see a bar on your left and the entrance to the City Hall Bistro is on your left. Such a cute place for date night and to bring friends for happy hour and food. They do have valet. Which is convenient. We ordered the (duck confit hummus) with truffle pickled cherries which was to die for. This hummus by far had such an interesting twist of Middle Eastern and European flavors. I would totally just come to CHB to eat the hummus and have a glass of wine. It does come with some pita bread and this cheddar cheese chip on the side. Next dish was the (burrata) which you can never go wrong with. It had the toasted bread with burrata cheese on the bottom topped with melon, ham, arugula and some vinaigrette grains. It was very light and flavorful. Good appetizer to choose. We also ordered the (mussels) which was ok maybe it needed a little kick to it maybe some spices or some more Italian seasonings. But they were cooked perfectly! As for entrees we ordered the (charred octopus) with lentils. The octopus was cooked so perfectly and charred enough. It was a very flavorful dish I really enjoyed the octopus. The (hand cut linguini) was delicious I was really shocked by all the flavors it was a very different unique tasting pasta every time I ate it I kept wanting more. I am not a huge fan of tomato based pastas but this was very very good. The linguini noodles were so fresh. There was also this olive bread crumbs that really completed the taste of the pasta. Inside the pasta there was tomatoes, chickpeas, clams and some mussel vinaigrette. This pasta reminded me of a middle eastern styled pasta. As for dessert we ordered this Ricotta dessert which kind of reminded me of a baklava. It had a flaky outside with ricotta baked into it and pistachio nuts all over with vanilla ice cream this dessert was so good. Not too sweet and not too heavy. It was a very devilish dessert we enjoyed very much. The service was superb and very friendly. Would love to come back and try different dishes here.

Went to eat here the first week that they opened so there were still a few kinks to work out, but overall I had a great experience. I went on Sunday morning for brunch service. The decor is lovely throughout the newly renovated hotel and bistro, so even just walking in felt special. Our servers were very nice. They informed us of the brunch specials and spent time answering our questions and checking with the chef on a couple of items. I tried the oatmeal and both of the specialty brunch cocktails. I know oatmeal is simple but it was still done very well and the consistency was perfect. Both of the cocktails were great and the ingredients very fresh.

My boyfriend and I stumble across City Hall Bristo and it was a gem to say the least. Amazing service, smiley faces on all employees and the food was nothing but GREAT. Super cute restaurant great to eat alone, on a date or with a group. We had their BAKED EGG SKILLET, AVOCADO TOAST and PAPAS BRAVAS... when I say their food was exceptional I mean exactly that. If you are looking for a nice place to great brunch must try them, you will not be disappointed!!!

This review is just for the cocktails. Service is outstanding. The flora and whiskey sour cocktails were amazing and some of the best drinks I've ever had. True craft cocktails! Must try!

I love small plate places like this because it allows us to try more items on the menu! We love food! So for starters mezze plate and the charcuterie tray The falafel and the baba gonush were some of the best I have ever had. The charcuterie tray was very good also. You wonder about a pairing like grape preserves and cheese but it works well together. So we ordered the cavateli, couscous risotto, linguini, and the paella. Caveteli had great bite almost like a gnocchi. The short rib was so tender... Couscous risotto is probably the best restaurant risotto I have ever eaten. Linguini was spicier and very tasty (but my least favorite dish of the night. The paella was amazing so amazing that we only got a few bites each before they had to wheel us out of there. Our server was very attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu.

The wife and I came here late last night. I have been in Dallas for the last 3 days and the wife just landed last night to meet for a weekend in dallas for our anniversary. We are staying at the Adolphus hotel and the restaurant is located inside. The food is a mix of american and Mediterranean. Very bright establishment with comfy leather booths. Open till 11 which was perfect as my wife didn't get to the hotel until 10, and she came hungry. We ordered the whole grilled fish of the day, the charcuterie board and the grain salad with chickpeas. Everything was phenomenal. The fish was so flavorful and fresh with great seasoning and taziski sauce on the side. The charcuterie was amazing! With 8 options including 2 cheese and 2 meats. And the grain salad has the perfect mix of texture with quinoa and crispy chickpeas. What a fantastic restaurant in a fantastic hotel!

We had the American breakfast with fresh pressed orange juice and coffee. Solid. Great service, food, and ambiance. I would recommend making reservations. Would come again to try the other brunch and lunch items!

We are at City Hall Bistro last night and it was excellent. The cocktails were amazing, as was the food. We had oysters, mushroom arancini, carne pizza and seafood risotto. The mushroom arancini was by far my favorite, but everything was delicious. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because our table wasn't very well lit (but, to our server's credit, she did ask if we wanted to move to a table with better lighting, but we chose to stay put because we wanted a booth). Also, this restaurant is super minimalist/modern to the point of feeling a little sterile. But overall I would recommend this restaurant!

My husband and I came in here for dinner on a Friday night, we had no reservations and they were able to seat us promptly. We were given the menu which was only one small page but all of the dishes sounded goodand fitted with the modern European vibe. We both had a cocktail the 1912 and the much like Provence, which were both enjoyable. My husband got the prime strip which he asked to be cooked medium, it came out rare but they happily returned it to the kitchen and it came out perfectly the second time and was so delicious alongside the baked sweet potato. I chose the market fish which on that day was scallops which were cooked perfectly and served with a salad and a thin bread for dipping in the flavoursome sauce. We had good service and all in all an enjoyable meal.

Awesome service by David and the staff here! Best meal since arrival 9 days ago. Fresh sea bass and roasted broccoli I and kabob appetizer. Will be baxck. It's in a classy old hotel that's upscale. Live music/band on Fridays. Thank you Dallas!

Oh to revisit the pre-COVID days when the Express lunch was available-- crunchy, creamy, fattoush salad, light yet with a slight bite of acid, and incredibly tender salmon flaking apart over a sea of savory orzo, bursting cherry tomatoes, and fragrant roasted almonds. Consider this my love letter to City Hall Bistro, a delicious space of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Skip the dessert though-- save your room for the appetizers and mains.

Tucked away in the Adolphus hotel, you will find this little gem. We dined on a Saturday evening and expected it to be busy. It was the complete contrary. Apparently, the restaurant has become busier during the week with all the business travelers staying at the hotel. Two words. Delicious food. Dishes are a mixture of shareable and individual plates. The hubs and I started our meal with drinks and sharing the tomato and cucumber salad. I had the pomegranate tonic gin drink (forgot the name) and the hubs had the western something tequila drink (also forgot the name... sorry about that!) His was my favorite of the two. I forgot how bitter tonic can be. I thought the pomegranate would help but it didn't. The salad was refreshing and layered with flavor. I'm totally guessing but the top dressing tasted like a tangy, sesame-like vinaigrette, the cucumbers tasted like they were marinaded in a complimentary dressing and on the bottom was a creamy tzatziki-like yogurt sauce. For our main dishes, we selected the gnocchi and shakshouka. The shakshouka was huge! We could have shared it. Thankfully the gnocchi was much smaller. The shakshouka was packed with flavor and had a nice spice to it. My husband loved the mixture of the sauce and the poached eggs. The only part I wasn't a fan of was the cooked whole slices of lemon or maybe it was orange. The bites of sweetness mixed with the savory, smoky sauce overwhelmed my taste buds. Also, know that the dish comes with a side of pita but not enough to get through the whole dish. We ordered more and it was an extra $5! That's basically $1 per slice. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked with a very nice consistency. The Marsala sauce was delicious and not creamy but a little salty. I'm not a big lamb person but I even enjoyed the lamb. It was soft and flavorful. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, our wonderful waiter, Caleb, surprised us with an order of the churros. We couldn't believe the order came with 4 big churros. The churros had a nice outside crunch with a soft middle. I'm not sure what flavor the ice cream was alongside the churros but it wasn't a favorite. Good thing the churros were so good alone; they didn't even need the ice cream. The service was warm, attentive and fast. We appreciated how customer-focused Caleb was and recommend dining in his area if you can. Overall, this is a great place to dine. We'll be back!

My boyfriend, friend and I visited on Saturday night, and it was such a wonderful experience! The waiter was very personable and happily provided suggestions when asked. We honestly had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded so good! We ordered some drinks and then decided to get the cheese & charcuterie board. This did not disappoint! Everything from the cheeses and the meats to the accompanying crackers and vegetables was great. For sides we ordered the Lebanese Rice, Grilled Corn Salad and Asparagus. All were so good. The Lebanese Rice really shocked us all with the flavors and textures. For entrees we ordered the Wagyu, Scallops and Pappardelle for entrees. Everything was incredible! Our only disappointment was the scallops were served with the Lebanese Rice, and had we paid more attention we wouldn't have ordered the rice as a side dish as well. We would have appreciated the waiter informing us of that as we definitely would have tried another side dish. All in all, we had a really great experience and will definitely be back! Now that I know the menu rotates frequently, I'm very much looking forward to trying new things on their menu.

FSA FOOD: Loved it!!! Everything we ordered we really enjoyed. Brussels sprouts have they orangish sauce that really good. I had the market fish which was sea bass that day and it was delicious! Very flavorful! Also had the lamb entree which was really good. The meat was very soft and juicy. Dessert the churros are amazing!! SERVICE: great! We had the manager Gabrielle come over to our table and ask how everything was. AMBIENCE: Very modern and chic. It's inside Hotel Adolphus which is really nice. There's a coffee place, little clothing shop and a barber in the hotel. Very vintage. There's a hotel bar which is really nice. Overall it was a very good experience!
