"It won an Eater Award for Outstanding Tea Service, and now it’s coming for lunch. Mirador, the fancy spot in Downtown, added a to-go option for its excellent lunch menu, which is available Tuesday through Friday. The deviled eggs with caviar, roasted beets with pistachio vinaigrette, lobster Cobb salad, farro bowl, wagyu sandwich, and even chicken Pilliard are all packaged and ready for pickup. Order online when you’re feeling like a fancy lunch, and just let the valet stand know you’re picking up. It will hold your car for free." - Courtney E. Smith
"If you’re ready to go completely out of the ordinary for brunch, Mirador’s modern tea service is the place to be. It features three courses (plus a scone starter), three tea pairings, and a glass of Champagne in addition to multiple drink pairings to punch it up. The restaurant is beautiful inside — think floor-to-ceiling windows — and great for groups of friends. This spot has free valet in the ground floor parking lot (so nice and so rare in Downtown); before you leave, browse through the trendy and expensive boutique downstairs." - Courtney E. Smith
"Sure, Mirador is known for its exceptional tea service and prix fixe lunches. You could even go for a single marg here, while sitting at the bar or a table during a boozy brunch or lunch. Highly recommended, though, are the margarita flight, which includes minis of the Mirador margarita with creme de violette and habaneros, the Sabroso (a skinny margarita), and, most importantly, the off-menu Indigo Smoke margarita made with Mezcal and blueberry cordial. The pastel and light-filled room, with views into Downtown and its modern-style decor, is a great place to pass the time while slowly sipping on a drink." - Courtney E. Smith
"The gentle color scheme in this decidedly luxurious space plays up to the idea of a soft, pastel wedding with a couple of dozen guests. The layout is great also, with the skyscrapers of Downtown peeking through every window, a bar facing Elm Street, a second dining room facing Main Street, and a small back dining room — there are lots of little spaces to utilize. Mirador is a 2024 Eater Awards winner in Dallas for Best Tea Service — the kitchen has small bites like its wagyu sando and coronation chicken in a tall, crispy wrap, well in hand. It also serves lunch and brunch, with dishes like lobster rolls, chicken Pillard, and salad Nicoise on the menu." - Courtney E. Smith
"Our pick for the best tea service in Dallas is the place to enjoy a tea service. The tea kind of endss up playing second fiddle to the incredible food, but they do come in gorgeous, paper-thin cups, and there is the option to add on a flight of rosé or margaritas. Spring tea service includes bites like the foie macaron, pear kinzer cookies, lemon turbinado raspberry scones, a caviar tartlet, and more. Tea reservations are available on Resy, with tea served daily with reservations from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for $99 per person. A child’s tea service is available for $35." - Rachel Pinn
