Dragonfly Restaurant at Hotel Zaza

An ostentatious hotel eatery pulls in out-of-town guests as well as fashionable residents of the city.. In Short
From corner to corner, subtle earth tones woven within luxury fabrics and textures create a rich and sensual ambiance. Chocolate-brown velvet drapes adorn the bar and lounge area, which spotlights a floating granite drink rail and introduces a six-seater wine room. The main dining area, lit by dramatic tea-stained chandeliers and hand blown candle sconces, induces a bold yet intimately passionate feel. The New American fusion menu offers seasonal and daily specials blending American classics with French, Asian and Mediterranean influences. Beef tenderloin carpaccio with cracked pink peppercorn, white truffle oil, arugula and shaved parmesan begin the dining experience, while the organic Scottish salmon served with crispy potato, asparagus salad and lemon beurre blanc is a popular main entrée. The bar menu grants happy hour plates such as pan-seared bacon-wrapped shrimp or ZaZa thin crust pizza. Save room however for the signature drinks that fuel the late night crowd scene.…

Can be a Fun place ! Great hostesses/Servers. The first time I dined at Dragonfly it was an exciting place to be on the weekend the beautiful hostesses opened the door for me and greeted me with smiles that made my night. The second time I went to Dragonfly the hostesses were dressed strangely in a black toga looking outfit (not appropriate for the thyme of the restaurant) and it led me to believe it was an Asian restaurant (even though its not) but they were helpful and at least had beautiful faces. The servers were very knowledgeable and made the dining experience wonderful again. It was hard to get a hold of a manager to discuss an event I wanted held at Dragonfly and it became frustrating and I decided against having my party there. Other than that I would recommend small groups dining there for a good time. Just don?t expect to get help from a manager.…

Much better than these "reviews" would lead you to believe!. Our party of five had dinner at Dragonfly last night I have to admit that we we worried, after reading some of the not-so-flattering reviews on CitySearch.... Our experience, however, was definitely worthy of five gold stars! We had reservations at 7pm, and the friendly valet pointed us in the right direction. The Hotel ZaZa is a feast for the eyes! Our table was in a room ringed by curtains, which made for a very quiet, intimate, cosy setting. We were served promptly. The food was outstanding! There was a foie gras starter special, which we ordered. I can easily say that we have never had such foie gras before, even at Abacus. The food, the wine, was excellent. All in all, a wonderful experience, and definitely much, much better than the other "reviews" would lead you to believe. We eat out at the top Dallas restaurants often (at least one a week), and DragonFly is definitely on our "return" list!…

good food, terrible service. I had reservations on a Saturday night at 9:00 PM for 8 people. We had to wait 30 minutes, which isn't terrible, but still annoying. After we were seated, it took the waiter at least 10 minutes to greet us. We ordered a few bottles of wine, and did not receive our drinks for another 15 minutes. It was even served by the host because our waiter was nowhere to be found. We eventually ordered food, and between each waiting period between the different courses was about 25 minutes. We ordered appetizers and finished them, then our salads took forever. Same with the entrees. RIDICULOUS!!!! We ended up being there over three hours. The food was really great, but not worth the wait. With all the great restaurants in Dallas, I won't be going back here again.…
