"This Japanese restaurant on the 50th floor of the Thompson Hotel is decorated in rich tones, like pink velvet furniture and walls, gold accents, dark wood flourishes, and floral rugs. It’s a bold, eye-catching design scheme accompanied by incredible views of the city of Dallas. The space primarily functions as a cocktail bar with some sushi — think spicy tuna rolls, wagyu beef with asparagus, and a seafood tower with caviar, A5 wagyu, and king crab. It also has an extensive sake list, making it a short-lister for the light on food and heavy on drinks wedding party." - Courtney E. Smith
"Kessaku is one floor up from Monarch. It’s where 360-degree views of the Dallas skyline and a plush, sexy lounge atmosphere surround lovers of sushi, sake, and wildly creative cocktails." - Courtney E. Smith, Rachel Pinn
"Dallas locals may be familiar with Grant, who developed the menus for Downtown restaurants Monarch and Kessaku. Kessaku is now under Maple Hospitality Group after What If partners dissolved." - Courtney E. Smith
"This is a spot the maximalist couple should consider as a wedding option. The pink velvet furniture and walls in Kessaku are complimented by gold accents, dark wood flourishes, floral rugs, and expansive views of Dallas." - Courtney E. Smith
