"A lavish “Boozy Tea” experience priced at $125 per diner that combines music, four carefully portioned courses, and an exotic teapot-sized cocktail for an over-the-top splurge. The tropical matcha mojito — made with white rum, mint, lime, matcha syrup, pineapple juice, soda water and garnished with dehydrated pineapple and mint sprigs — was described as “one of the best cocktails I’ve had this year — sweet, tangy, fruity, and unforgettable.” Food highlights included exceptional east coast oysters with cilantro mignonette and reliably satisfying cheesesteak empanadas; overall presented as the epitome of a splurge well spent." - Ernest Owens

"On Mondays and Tuesdays I can show proof of restaurant employment at the Ritz-Carlton's 24th-floor restaurants to receive 20 percent off any menu item, and I especially note chef Kevin Luzande’s huacatay-marinated half-chicken." - Mona Holmes
"And one cannot forget about the Dallas OG Ritz-Carlton property where you can feel the luxury lingering around every corner especially now after the 2023 debut of a multi-million-dollar facelift. Yes, all 218 guest rooms and suites were upgraded to cater to the needs of today’s luxury traveler. Other amenities that speak to us are the feather beds and linens that envelope you, the chauffeured luxury house car, and Fearing's downstairs which maintains a regular place on most lists of the best restaurants in Dallas. And not to pick favorites here, but any hotel that has a resident "guacamologist" deserves a special shout-out. Stop by the lobby at 6 p.m. to see first-hand how to make the hotel's famous guac and find out exactly how much roasted garlic you should be adding to it." - Diana Oates
