Overall: 4.5 and I am rounding up because I'd need to fly somewhere to get a comparable 5 star experience. The setting is very modern and sleek and the foie gras was the best I've had since getting treated to it as a college student in Paris. Service was very professional while aiming to be casual and unpretentious. Food: Our starter, the foie gras torchon (5/5), was the best dish of the night. My first experience with foie gras was at the Jules Verne and the several foie gras orders I made while living in Phoenix and Tucson were good but lacked the substantiality and decadent butteriness of the first. This dish, served with apple butter when I went to the restaurant, met my high hopes. My entree, the lobster ravioli (4.5/5), was served with a creamy consomme I wiped up with a bread roll. The lobster had the right amount of give and chewiness and was flavored with French-amounts of butter. The ravioli itself was very al dente. I heard good things about the duck. The baked Alaska (3.5/5) had a a fun presentation and the first few bites were interesting with the contrast of char from the flaming rum and cool sorbet. However, the flavors were not notable and the dish had more citrus than I like in a dessert. Drinks: I ordered a white wine to go with my ravioli upon the waiter's suggestion and my dining partner got the Bullion Spritz. She found it too bitter so we traded. I enjoyed the spritz and found the taste alternated between the bitter Suze and the very strong grapefruit presence depending on what I last ate. I took a sip of the wine with the ravioli and it would have been a good pairing. Our waiter recommended a Sauternes with the foie gras, which indeed matched perfectly. Ambiance (4/5): The restaurant has the best stairway I've seen in Dallas. The area is impeccably furnished. The tables are quite close together and the music on the night I went sounded like top-20 backing tracks without vocals. Service: The waitstaff was young and professional. We got good recommendations for drinks. read more

Came here for girls night. Very nice, quiet and classy atmosphere. Service was great. Our drinks were good. The food was okay. Nothing stood out to me. We had abut 3 apps and a duck entree to share. The apps were tastier than the entree. The duck steak was a bit gamey and tough. Not a lot of flavor. One of our app dish had a strand of hair on it. They immediately brought out a new dish to replace it. So that was fine. Overall it was very pricey for an unmemorable meal. read more

We decided to try for the first time on New Year's Eve! From the moment we got out of the uber we were greeted by friendly staff and even got our pictures taken by a professional photographer. The rest was beautifully decorated with all the right touches for this special occasion. The host and hostess were very cordial and cheerful. We were quickly seated and began to enjoy the exceptional experience. Everything we tried on the siecial prefix menu was outstanding and the suggested wine pairings were spot on. Service was also as expected. I could go on and on but what I will finish up with is- we will be back for lunch and dinner. read more

A Beautiful and Wondrous Night Bullion Makes. Stunning is their golden architecture upon arrival. Enchanting it is to ascend their spiral staircase. Intimate is the setting of their stylish interior. Alluring is the rich color and furnishings in the bar. Enticing is the backdrop and lighting when dining. Impeccable was the service from start to finish. Intoxicating was the introduction of Old Cuban. Fine was the pour of 2012 Baron de Brane Margaux. Appetizing Aubergine and Gougeres au Gruyere. Mesmerizing Cote de Boeuf and Pomme Frites. Extraordinary, Creative, Innovative Mille Feuille. CHEERS! read more

My husband and I came here for our anniversary and we were very happy with the food! We were greeted very nicely, and got seated right away. The restaurant is beautiful. Everything we ordered came out amazing: - Appetizer: We got the foie gras with marmalade. - Entrees: I got the Canard a L'orange, duck with radish, endive, orange marmalade and it was cooked perfectly. The portion was good, I actually was pretty full by the end (given also I was eating the delicious bread basket). My husband got the Wednesday special: calamari stuffed sausage ratatouille. It was so flavorful! - Dessert: we got the Peche Melba. The poached peaches were done perfectly, the jellies add interesting texture, and caramelized almonds with vanilla ice cream all together made it so good! Service was average surprisingly. Our waitress only checked on us once during our meal. Also, definitely do valet parking ($5). We still very much enjoyed it and will definitely be back! read more

We chose this place to celebrate our anniversary and while reliving the memory of our special day is always a treat, dining at this place was an excellent setting to relish in those memories! The staff was very engaging and classy. Their drinks at the bar were on point, starting with amuse-bouche Gin drink! The oysters we had to start with are hands down best I've had in Dallas. They were from North Carolina! I enjoyed feasting on the Lobster Thermidor while my husband had the NY strip. It was grilled and seasoned to perfection. I did not much care for the closeness of our neighbors, although bc we were so close, we did meet new friends. The ambiance of the place was elegant and beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend Bullion for any foodie visiting or lives in Dallas! read more

Bullion - French Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The word Bullion means gold/silver or precious metal in French. It also happens to be the name of the most beautiful restaurant I've been to in Dallas. The name fits perfectly as the restaurant's French cuisine matches its environment. This is the first place that I think I want to go back to just because it's so beautiful. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food) Atmosphere - Bullion resides in the location of the old Belo building. I never visited the former location but Bullion is simply majestic. A beautiful spiral staircase will take you up to the restaurant. There is a nice bar with inviting seating. Make reservations and get there early so you can grab a drink and a seat next to a window that overlooks Dallas. I went in winter and the trees were also lit. Ambiance, class, sheik, cool, shine - Bullion has it all. 1 Star. Service - The only area that wasn't great. Compared to the restaurant and food, the service did not match it. It is very relaxed, and we enjoyed our multicourse meal over a two hour span that never felt slow or rushed. But minor things like requests for refills or new cocktails took more time than needed. Between each course you'll get a new place setting. This was a high end, classy touch. 1/2 Star. Food - Start with the Foie Gras. It's French. It's delicious. It is a microcosm of Bullion. You get a delicate, yet rich portion easily spreadable onto the bread. It's savory smooth and the perfect palette primer to begin your meal. The bread basket was brilliant as well. We also had the escargot raviolis. The tender bite had flavor, but I think the ravioli mutes the escargot. Maybe I'm just used to tons of butter & garlic with my snails. My main course was the Saint Jacque. This dish had the largest, most plump scallops I have ever tasted. They were perfectly seared on each side. Dessert was the chocolate bar. This was a hand-crafted bar that reminded me of the best Ferrero Rocher I've ever eaten. The meal was amazing, but the prices are amazing too (as in high). 1 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Except I want to come back for the bar and view of Dallas more than the food. That's not a knock on the food. Bullion's cuisine is great. The restaurant is just gorgeous. It's a place I would take my wife for a special dinner with friends. There's gold at Bullion. 1 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score. read more

Bullion just one-upped every other restaurant in Dallas as far as drive up appeal. Like a magnificent gold-plated mid-century modern UFO from France that landed on South Record Street, Bullion is stunning in its details. A curving staircase leads you from outside straight into the middle of the lounge area. Magical Christmas-lit tree canopies sparkled outside the windows. Deep pockets outfitted this restaurant and it shows in the Bullion-emblazoned hardware throughout the restaurant, see-through refrigerated cases in the walls where you can view some of the kitchen's provisions. It's a rich, comfortable atmosphere. Service was earnest and helpful but also still learning. We received excellent advice and information from one of the managers who took an interest in our stay from the beginning and checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. Food ranged from some pretty-good to great items. Realistically a 4 star meal, I rounded up because they are new, there is lots of potential, and I feel it's unfair to penalize a restaurant of this scope while it still figures itself out. We started with a few cold dishes: the steak tartar had a subtle flavor but a toothsome chewiness that I woke up craving in the middle of the night! Ahh the smoked cream was very nice. The foie gras torchon impressed me less and I wished we had substituted the ravioli instead. Poached egg and salade verte followed - savory richness of the egg and mushrooms was very good but not transcendent. The salad was simple. Lightly dressed. Fine. Entrees...ahh. One of my favorite dishes of 2017! The cod WAS transcendent. The temperature was PERFECTLY hot when served. The tomato, the exquisitely tart segments of meyer lemon, the brandade bed supporting the cod. My GOD. They got it perfect and I fear ordering it again that it may not be as good. The striploin au poivre was very solid also. One comment - there are so many tempting items on Bruno's menu that I would go back in a heartbeat to try the others - Daily specials too! Someone please tell me how the $65 Dover Sole is!! To finish we ordered the chocolate soufflé and the madeleines. The soufflé was spicy and chocolatey and orangey (lol) and I enjoyed how it continued to cook around the edge of the hot pan as I ate it. The crispy and soft madeleines - yum. My dining partner couldn't finish them and it was all I could do not to polish them off right then, let alone the next day while the pretty Bullion box of goodies tempted me in my kitchen. Easily one of the most exciting restaurant additions in Dallas in a long time, Bullion shows plenty of promise. read more

Very surprised to have great French cuisine in Dallas. Went with coworkers after conference 2 days ago. The dishes and services were impeccable. I had the rib eye with bone marrow.

A M A Z I N G. The food, the service, the friendly faces, the ambiance. Everything was on point at this place. Everyone that stopped by our table spoke to us & wanted to get to know more about us & what brought us there. I HIGHLY recommend the lobster salad, ravioli d'escargot, Filet de Boeuf au Poivre, and my absolute favorite...Cabillaud & Brandade. I still think about that dish. Make sure you get a dessert, any dessert. You won't regret it. read more

I recently came here for a birthday dinner, and this place is impressive--from the time you leave your car with the valet, to the time you walk through the glass doors and up the beautiful spiral staircase, to the classy and open interior that welcomes you when you step into the restaurant. Don't be afraid to dress up when you come here; I noticed a number of men in dinner jackets. My friends and I shared a number of appetizers before ordering our entrees. Everything was good, but my favorite was the mushroom dip with truffle. It's a "can't miss" for truffle lovers; the chef definitely did not skimp on the truffle. For my entree, I had the lamb, which was cooked to a perfect medium and delicious. My friends all happened to order steak dishes, and I got to sample all of them. One of the girls had been to Bullion before and had not been impressed; she changed her mind after delving into her steak. Steak is apparently a must-have a Bullion. All in all, great food and excellent services in a classy setting. A perfect place for any celebration. read more

Simply AMAZING! I had already heard great reviews about this place but it really beat my already high expectations! The service was really good and it's probably one of the best dishes we've had in Dallas! Our entrees were simply amazing! Definitely worth the price. My husband had the Quenelle Lyonnaise Sauce Américaine and I had the Cabillaud & Brandade. Both very different and both fantastic in their own way (we still keep fighting who got the best dish :-)). The appetizers and desserts were also really good, but the entrees were the star of the meal. The Gougéres Au Gruyère are a great oeuvre. They're very light and it has a bit of a kick with the black pepper. The poireaux had a really unique (good) taste and was also a very light appetizer. I went with my husband for my birthday and I got a little dessert treat on the house which was a really nice detail. I would definitely go back and it's a great place to celebrate a special occasion! read more

If you're looking for good, authentic French food this is a great place to visit. Simple, but varied menu, as well as a good wine list. I had the Poulet, chicken on pesto sauce with ratatouille. All delicious. The service was really good too, very helpful and friendly but professional as well. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning the ambiance, which deserves to be acknowledged. Very elegant but still approachable, Bullion is a good for a date spot, business dinner, or just a group outing. While this place isn't cheap it's certainly a good value as I've been to plenty of eateries with comparable service and taste for more money. Update** Went for a second time and it was even better. Melina was incredible and had prefect recommendations. I didn't actually order anything off menu I just asked her what was good and each selection was delicious. One of my favorite spots in Dallas for sure. read more

Great atmosphere! I went as a double date with another couple and it was great. Servers were nice and they checked in frequently to make sure that everything was okay. Escargot ravioli- It was our first time trying escargot so we didn't know what to expect. Although it was an appetizer, the portion size was good. Escargot was chewy and had a great texture. Cream puff pastry- Inside was airy and flavor was not too buttery. Dover sole- We liked how they came and showed us the dover sole before plating it. It tastes great and texture was very nice. Vegetables that came with it complimented the dish very well. Scallop- I love scallop so this was by far my favorite dish for the night. It was cooked just right and I loved the sauce. It kind of tasted like celery/woodsy and went well with the scallop. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at the Bullion. read more

The location and design of the restaurant is very elegant however don't let that distract you from everything else. We were seated quickly as we had reservations, but after that, the service lacked. I ordered appetizers and asked that they allow us to finish that before taking the remainder of our order and they visited multiple times despite my request. Once our food came out, our waitress again visited us multiple times, but once we were done it took them over 15 minutes to take our empty plates. Another 15 minutes passed before they came to ask about dessert and after the wait, we had enough. We ordered the New York strip and the Half Lobster special. The salad side on the lobster was bland, but the lobster itself was very flavorful. The steak was cooked medium perfectly, but it would've done better with a slight charring on the outside. I take a lot of time picking a restaurant when I travel and I'm sad to say I was disappointed after my meal. I would not recommend this for the food. read more

We had an early (7pm) reservation and although there were plenty of tables available, they proceeded to seat us shoulder-to-shoulder in between two other parties. This was a huge turnoff! It felt like we were at an NYC deli. The food was good, but portions unnecessarily small. I ordered the lamb and it was tubular shaped about the size of a bratwurst. We had a side of Yukon potatoes which were barely enough for two spoons fulls each. This was a special occasion (my wife's birthday). I made sure to note that on the reservation, during the three (annoying) confirmation phone calls and upon our arrival. Obviously we aren't looking for the servers to join in chorus, but every nice restaurant we've ever been to will offer something in acknowledgement. Typically a small dessert with candle or something. Finally, the patrons next to us knocked off their water glass and it shattered all over the floor. Because we were almost sitting in their laps, my wife's foot was cut by a shard of glass and started bleeding. A manager came over with a bandaid and asked if it was the server that caused this. We awkwardly (you can hear every word uttered by your table neighbors) explained it was the patrons next to us. The manager said something to the effect of 'oh ok' (seemingly relieved of any liability) and trotted off. There was no other mention of it. I'm sorry but if your foot is cut by broken glass that is of no fault of your own, the manager is aware of it and nothing is done, that is pathetic customer service. read more

3.5 stars The overall experience is better than the sum of its parts. Perhaps it's because of the luxurious environment or the waitstaff but whenever I come here I immediately feel primed to be wow-ed. Definitely a place to go if you're looking to impress someone. But the food itself has always left me a bit underwhelmed, especially the mains. Appetizers seem to be better. I really liked the L'ouef Poche (egg and mushrooms dish), which might be the only one that I found standout. Poireaux (leeks) were good and presentation was beautiful, but wasn't necessarily blown away. I enjoyed the Rilette de Saumon (smoked salmon) but again didn't think it was spectacular. Foie gras was excellent but it's hard to mess that up. Scallops were too salty, there were just too many grains of salt on top. The lobster dish was good but nothing standout. Canard l'orange (duck) I found the duck a bit bland / too chewy and the orange sauce too sweet. The fish we got seemed to have been steamed inside a plastic, and honestly found it bland and underwhelming. Given the price point, I think I expect more out of the dishes, but ultimately it's quite hit or miss, and the mains are largely misses. read more

Everything about this place is exceptional. From the valet welcome, to the bar service, waiters, atmosphere - everything was spectacular. Also, prices were below what I was expecting. My husband and one of our fellow diners both had the duck. They said the meat was succulent and smokey. I tried the steak with bone marrow - divine! Our other friend attending had the chicken and said it was juicy and flavorful as well. The table shared the white asparagus with hollandaise, a dozen oysters, and the escargot. Even the non snail eater said the escargot may have been his favorite part - hey nowwwww. All was washed down by two bottles of tasty red wine. Most of all we fell in love with the bar. It gives off an old world, Parisian vibe. Can't wait to come back! read more

Such a beautiful atmosphere! Food was delicious and presented beautifully, extensive wine collection, a great management presence, and very friendly staff. A wonderful way to spend our anniversary! Only feedback is for our waiter. He was super friendly, but we could tell he was a hustler trying to up-sell the whole night. On a business standpoint I understand, but it added a lot of pressure to our dinner and it got a little annoying. Other than that, loved the place and will be coming back again.

I absolutely loved this place. I have a few beefs which I will mention at the end, but yeah, this may be my new favorite Dallas restaurant. Everyone is correct that this place is just ridiculously cool looking both in and out. It was gawdy, opulent and at the same time beautiful and I felt a bit like Captain Stubing on the love boat, but not in a bad way. The bar atmosphere was absolutely very Dallas. The views were very pretty out their many glass windows. Our service was fantastic. The managers are helping serve and bus tables. We never went without water and we never had dirty dishes. I love this. The food was fantastic. We had the foie, the steak tartare, the leek salad, cod and duck a l'orange. I am shocked by how tasty the leek salad was. We almost didn't order it but I am so glad we did. The only reason we ordered the cod was because of all of the other reviews that said it was amazing. And wow, it was. It reminded me of the black cod at nobu where you look at it and go,??? It can't be that good. But dayum, it's that good. This is the same. What an absolutely beautiful dish. The desserts were also delicious. My small points of contention were that it was our anniversary and besides our waiter saying "happy anniversary", they did not acknowledge it in the dessert or anything. I don't need a celebration, but something would have been nice. I also disliked the red wines by the glass. Finally, I'm sure someone else will bring this up, but you can't eat a burger in the dining room at dinner. So they literally had to move us to the bar area to eat a burger and dessert. How dumb. The burger was good but not that good. That's OK. These small things are just my personal opinion. It's still a great new addition to Dallas. read more

FINALLY, I got over to Bullion, but only for happy hour, because I wanted to go light on the spending... What a great vibe Bullion has in the lounge!! It felt as though I'd climbed the stairs right into a James Bond movie. The vintage-feel of the seating where (of course) gold accents abound, invites you to give in to the pleasures of the weekend and let the bartenders have their way with you... Which they will--deftly discoursing about the cocktails, origins and history of various spirits, and buttering you up with strong amuse bouche cocktail samples. I found a new wine favorite while I was there, thanks to the knowledgeable lounge waiter. The cheese puffs, charcuterie and mushroom spread (I won't try to pretend I know French--these loose translations should enable you to find the real thing on the menu...) were all good, but the most august creation we tried was the, "L'oeuf Poché: poached egg, wild mushrooms, duck confit, vin jaune sauce". This enticing, succulent dream of a dish will have you moaning after each delicious bite, from first to last. Whereas the other small plates were merely good, this one will be the one that brings me back to try an entrée. ....someday when I'm not feeling as thrifty... read more

We had an incredible Mother's Day brunch at Bullion this past Sunday. This restaurant is stunning. As we walked from our car towards the building, my son asked, "are we eating at Stark Industries"?! Lol. Even the outside architecture is something to marvel over. (See what I did there.) From the classy brass stairway to the plush velvet bar chairs, I could get used to this restaurant. (Really, I'd like to just add on a small matching bedroom wing and stay here during the week.) Our waiters were on top of it, even our teen server was very attentive to our needs, but not bothersome. I enjoyed the French strawberry mimosa-like drink when we first arrived. My son drank a few cups of coffee, so that must have been good. My husband loved the French Bloody Mary. All of the food was first class and very well put together. My daughter had prefer american comfort food, but she didn't leave hungry. Even though she is 17, she would have preferred items from the kid's menu. I would say the best thing I tried from our table was my husband's steak and chimichurri. That steak was like butter. Oh, speaking of butter, yes. I love their butter! Smooth and salty. That's the way we like it. ;) We shall return... without the kids. If nothing else, for drinks. I love this place! And I "need" to try their mille feuille. read more

We had a great experience at Bullion. Would give 4.5 stars if allowed. Had great service with Will. Though the tortellini were a little weak, the dishes we had were great. We started witb the mushroom duxelles which was very nice. Earthy mushrooms, savory truffle. It was fantastic with their fresh baked bread. The fois gras app was great. The fois was a savory earthy and fatty. The fresh baked brioche was flavorful. The fig and balsamic marmalade was a welcome addition. The poached egg witb Duck confit and woke mushrooms was excellent. Savory and earthy with a great salty kick. This dish was special. The leeks with goat cheese, herbs, and hazelnuts was a surprisingly successful dish. It was not something I would have ordered without the recommendation but it was with it. Refreshing with nice acidity and brightness, it was a great change of pace. The bison strip loin ain't poive was delicious. The crust was full of black pepper flavor and the steak was perfectly cooked. The sommelier was knowledgeable and recommended a great wine. The wine list is extensive although the markup is on the high end. read more

Really stands out as one of the best restaurants in Dallas. Food: Creative yet classical interpretations of French cuisine. I had the (Tuesday daily special) crab and my wife had the scallops. Both were amazing! (Btw, the wine list was 28 pages) Setting: Approximately 30 tables in a new space beneath some office building downtown. Really liked the mid-century vibe with a little Art Deco interiors. Service: Friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff who took a genuine interest that we had everything we wanted. My only complaint is that when I made our reservation, the hostess asked if this was a special occasion. I replied that it was our anniversary. At our dinner, the only mention of our special occasion was an awkwardly murmured "happy anniversary" by our waitstaff and a tiny cardstock sign that said "Happy Anniversary" on our dessert. Why did they even bother asking, I have to wonder. One more thing--Don't be "that guy" who wears a Supreme Hoodie sweatshirt to Bullion. Please wear a jacket. 2 people, special anniversary dinner: $170. read more

This is the 3rd time I have dined at a Bruno Davaillon restaurant, and I am a believer! First, the decor is amazing and extremely unique. When you arrive on the wrong side of the building, you may be caught with the, "Wow, look at that!" which turns into, "How do we get up there??" Find the spiral staircase. Then, grab a seat at the lovely bar for superior "mixology" type drinks and a nice view by the many windows. The wine list has a great selection of French wines which is always tough to find in Dallas. What I tried (yes, I dine with people where we try each other's food): Poached egg--full of luscious, rich flavor of the earthy mushrooms. More complex flavors than expected. Snapper crudo--light, balanced, and delicious. Perfect. Poireaux--this is leeks, goat cheese, hazelnuts, and truffle vinaigrette. It was very good but needed something to pull it all together and make it easier to eat the leeks that stick to the plate--something like a crostini. Escargots--very good but not enough of the escargot flavor. The pasta overpowered it a little. I was expecting something more like the balance you get when you put them in a puff pastry. NY Strip Loin au Poivre--very flavorful meat cooked perfectly. This wasn't my dish so only got one bite. Bourride--excellent quality fish, potatoes were seasoned well and yummy. The sauce was the least "wow-ing" on the dish. Very good. Sides we had were frites (excellent and great dipping sauce) and champignons (yummy). I don't know how they do it but the French always know how to do bread so well. The bread here is divine with that perfect crunch on the outside while still being soft on the inside. For desserts, I tried the Baba au Rhum, Chocolate Bar, and the Mille Feuille. I love Mille Feuille and get it every time I see it on a menu. This one did not disappoint. All of the desserts were excellent, but the Chocolate Bar was my favorite. The services was a little slow and not in that European slow but choreographed way. No dings, though as I am chalking that up to working out the kinks. Next time I go back I want to go on a Wednesday to try the Bison Pot au Feu with bone marrow. My mouth is watering just typing that. Overall, excellent new addition to the Dallas restaurant scene with a diverse, well-thought-out menu. Hands down the most unique venue. It feels like you are dining on a luxury yacht. Kudos to keeping the prices at a reasonable level for such an "elevated" (lol) restaurant! read more

I'll say that the first thing that drew me to try out this place was the golden visage of the restaurant jutting out of an office tower that had to be entered through a spiral staircase. They definitely get top props for the design of this restaurant. It's striking from the outside and very 1920's opulence / art deco on the inside. In terms of food, we tried out the following: Lapin - As the waiter described it, rabbit in a jar. Out of all the dishes we tried I think this was our least favorite. Perhaps we just aren't use to how this is served, but it reminded me of tuna fish salad. Steak Tartare - This was amazing. The consistency and taste of this was perfectly balanced and the smoky cream added a richness to it. I would definitely get this one again. Corvina - The fish was perfectly cooked and was very tender and flaked well. It's hard to cook fish that well, but the taste of the dish was not particularly striking to me. Canard a L'orange - Hands down the best thing I had there. The texture of the crisp skin and the amazing moistness of the duck meat just blew us away. I don't think I've ever had duck this good before. Pomme Frites - These fries were very good and some of the best I've had as well. The texture was unique and I felt like they were done using that double fried technique. Epinard - The spinach was good and what I expected it to be. Not too much to say here. Mille feuille - The dessert tasted like a deconstructed creme brulee. Very flavorful and I liked the alternating crisp and creamy textures. The service here was good though I think our waiter must have been new or was awkward in general. His recommendations were on point and the few dishes we tried where we though were off were because of our own choices. Overall, it was a nice experience and have to say that I can't recommend the Canard a L'orange enough. Everyone should go there to at least try that dish out at least once. read more

"Exquisite" is the best word I can use to describe our meal and overall experience. We felt like royalty as we were ushered in the front door and led up the stairwell, and wow - that interior is gorgeous!! The service here is top notch, and we felt special from the moment we walked in the door to the time we left. Tarte "Boudin Noir" - We found out Bruno had just won Cochon 555 with this dish, so we had to order it. It was very unexpected, but the flavors were incredible. Even the tarte dough was so buttery and flaky. L'oeuf Poché - This consists of a poached egg, wild mushrooms and duck confit. I'm admittedly not a huge mushroom fan due to the texture, but I could not stop eating this! Boeuf (daily special version) - This was a NY Strip with potato. Oh my word, so good! The steak was perfectly cooked. Bison Au Poivre - Both my boyfriend and I really loved this, but it did have an excessive amount of coarse ground pepper on top. I'm not sure if it was their intent, but both us and the people around us scraped off a lot of the peppercorns before eating. It was perfectly cooked to his liking, though! Gratin de Coufleur - This consisted of cauliflower with truffle mornay and parmesan - need I say more? So rich, so good. Pomme Puree - Hands down the creamiest potatoes I've ever eaten. They were so velvety smooth! Grand Marnier Souffle - Holy wow, so good! It was served with vanilla bean ice cream and orange sauce. Foret Noire - What a sophisticated black forest dessert! The sorbet was tart and a perfect complement to the rich chocolate. I also enjoyed a cappuccino with my dessert, and we had a lovely bottle of Telegramme wine. Bullion is definitely a splurge, but well, well worth it. The food, ambiance, decor and service is incredibly sophisticated and polished, but without feeling stuffy. Wonderful experience! read more

We have been saying for years that Dallas was missing a classic French brasserie. Finally Chef Bruno has filled the void! You could tell how meticulously thought out every detail of this restaurant was, from the decor and plate settings, to the service and menus. I would go through the highlights of what we ate but literally everything we tried was delicious. Here are just a few highlights of the evening. 1. Trendy vibe without excessive noise 2. Reasonably priced and a refined wine list 3. Nightly rotating specials 4. Impeccable service from start to finish, including the valet that had our car waiting for us as we walked out 5. Delicious food and gorgeous plating 6. Great selection of desserts, highly recommend the Mille Feuille Get yourself over to Chef Bruno's restaurant immediately! You will not be disappointed. Hopefully a new Dallas staple for years to come! read more

My mom said this was the best meal she ever had. I certainly would put this in my top 5! Got the gruyere puffs to start with. I could have used more cheese, but that's a personal thing. I had the Monday plat du jour: White fish soufflé with lobster. Oh my goodness, it was INCREDIBLE! Also got a side of spinach. So great. For dessert, I had the Mille fuille. You NEED this in your life. The dining room is gorgeous. The service is amazing. Go now. Don't think. read more

As you can tell from other reviews, this restaurant is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Curb appeal is amazing and the interiors are done so well that you feel completely transported. I would give this restaurant 5 stars if it weren't for our waitress. From the moment we arrived we seemed like a huge bother to her. When my husband asked about off menu whiskeys she just stared at him until he offered to order something else. Then she perked up with, "Well I was just going to take you to see them at the bar because it sounds like you're looking for something specific." All of her mannerisms were just rude and in stark contrast to our waiter. Our other waiter was extremely courteous. It was almost as if they had some kind of good cop bad cop routine going. We ordered the 3 cheese board to start. We had the Brie, which neither of us enjoyed and the sheep and goat cheeses, both of which were wonderful. My husband order the Monday plate of the day and loved it. Proclaimed it the best lobster he ever had. I had the roasted chicken and it was so moist and decadent. Absolutely cooked to perfection. I'm going to have trouble eating chicken for a while. We shared the spinach and potatoes. The spinach was forgettable but the potatoes were amazing. Puréed perfection. The sommelier helped us eat to pair a wine that worked with our entrees and they were just right. He did a great job and was very knowledgeable and polite. Our favorite part of the meal was dessert! My husband had the Mille Feuille and I had the Chocolate Soufflé. We both didn't dare leave a scrap behind. They were mouthwateringly scrumptious! Mine came with pistachio ice cream which I was unsure about, but it had the perfect amount of flavor to it. Especially when paired with the soufflé. As this was my husband's birthday celebration meal, I wish our waitress had been more kind or offered us a type of celebratory gesture in some way, but it will be quite a while before he forgets how delicious the food was. read more

Let's start off with how amazing this restaurant is. The decor is really nice with a lot of windows in the bar area. Nice place for a date or intimate birthday dinner. My girlfriend and I didn't have any food, but the menu had some good options. We were there for drinks. The bar staff were very attentive and nice. I had the sloe gin fizz, and champs élysées which was similar to a sidecar. I would give the drinks 3.5 out of a 5. I will definitely be back for dinner or try out the happy hour read more
