Generally I like to avoid eating where I stay and in this case it was the ZaZa. I think my frame of mind is that the chances of the best places to eat being in the same place where you are staying should be statistically low unless I am looking for that in advance which I never do. In any case, I was impressed with Dragonfly. Would I go out of my way to get here if I wasn't staying at the ZaZa, probably not, but that's just me. Anyway...
For a latish breakfast before starting the day with a Super Burrito - fluffy egg, pico de gallo, poblano, refried black beans, tomatillo salsa, panela or a Breakfast Sandwich - brioche bun, scrambled egg, ham, fontina, herb butter with a side of Bacon it worked out extremely well. The portions were large, and the food was tasty. (As a side note the online menu seems to be significantly out of date not showing either of these options on any of the three menus)
For a late night meal sharing a WILD MUSHROOM FLATBREAD - RICOTTA | BALSAMIC | SHAVED PARMESAN and the CAESAR - ROMAINE LETTUCE | GRATED PARMESAN | GARLIC BUTTER CROUTONS | CLASSIC CAESAR DRESSING was perfect after being out in the hot Dallas, nearly summer, sun all day.
The place itself has a funky vibe like the surrounding hotel. Seating is spacious and service is attentive. The bonus of eating here is people watching the pool which is the view through the windows. Not being from this area and knowing nothing about Dallas this place feels like it is attached to the LA or Vegas scene, so you will be in for some entertainment on that front like people practicing yoga on the pool wall like no one else was around.
