Editorial Review for The Club – by Cheryl Ng Collett
The Scene
Owner Robert Colombo's modern take on the supper club is a corporate Dapper Dan's dream establishment. A handsome wood paneled private room fitted with a stately fireplace, projector screen, individual sound system and personal restrooms are designed to impress important clients. The outdoor patio is ideal for a quick after-work pizza or martini. While dark, intimate booths strewn with fragrant rose petals present a romantic setting for someone special. There's an air of gentlemanly exclusivity without stuffiness. Servers are well versed and the wine list thoughtful.
The Food
The Prince Edward Island black mussels are tossed in an herbaceous heady broth of wild fennel, fresh herbs and organic tomatoes. The dry-aged, prime double bone-in 'Southside Filet' is the pinnacle item of the menu. The tender meat seasoned with Himalayan salt and piment espelette and finished off in a 1400 degree broiler is superb. The delightful limoncello cheesecake is the chef's grandmother's recipe.
Hits: The in-house water purification system by Italian company, Natura, not only offers guests clean tasting still or sparkling water but is also an environmentally-friendly choice.
Misses: Although jackets are not required, it may be advisable to take one along as the air conditioning tends to be chilly.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIf you are out for a romantic night, be sure to request a banquette in the back room. The booths in the front have an unobstructed view of the plasma TV behind the bar which may prove too distracting.
The ExtrasFriday afternoons are open to the Friday Lunch Club, where reserved tables are available weekly to members. Walk-ins are welcome, but only seated should a member cancel their table reservation.

Walking in is an experience in itself. I was overwhelmed by a well-thought-out Interior Design, i.e. leather table tops, black and white pictures framed all over the place and fantastic art work, perfect lighting, visible wine room, plasma TV's, a quaint spot I have been hoping Dallas would get. This is a place where you would see the likes of Frank Sinatra just hanging around. Though the big, corporate, upper-scale dining spots have their place, this is my place selection. "Lucky" as the Bartender is called is by far the most talented Bartender I have ever met putting un-needed flare aside. His classic cocktail knowledge and drink creations apperently draw as much of a crowd as the food! The 2nd Bartender "Steve" walked up, introduced himself and proceeded to make the BEST "Perfect Rob Roy" I have ever had. I won't admit how many I had to have! The Wine List is a reason to go by itself. With Dom, Dominus, Heitz, Chateau d'Yquem and other recognizable names by the glass, I was speechless. Though they had other great wines by the glass for much less in price, I had to try Dominus and Chateau D'YQuem. Who wouldn't want to?! On to the food, Chef Amador really scored with the Prince Edward Island Black Mussels with organic tomatoes, wild fennel, fresh herbs, white wine broth, herb garlic crostini and the Fresh Shellfish Tower, WOW! It had jumbo lump crab meat, fresh lobster, Gulf shrimp, cold water clams, oysters served chilled on a bed of shaved ice served with a horseradish-cocktail sauce. They mean it when they say "JET FRESH"! No kidding. For dinner, I had a hard time deciding, but the waiter recommended the Wood Fired Veal Chop. It was served with creamy polenta, sautéed wild mushrooms and some sort of barolo sauce that was incredible. Be sure to try the Classic Apple Tarte Tatin with Double Creme Fraiche. All I can say is that it was overwhelmingly wonderful. Service, Food, Wine, Atmosphere Rocked! Highly Recommended...
Pros: If you have to wait, the bartenders are incredible as are the drinks!
Cons: Definitely make a reservation!

This was my second visit to The Club and the continued maturing of this restaurant is a real asset to the Dallas restaurant scene. Having spent the majority of my adult life living in NYC, I was excitied to hear that a 21 Club like restaurant was opening in Dallas. We need small, cozy, quality place to dine, where the food is great and the customers are friendly and clubby. The Club has certainly brought this atmosphere to Dallas. On my first visit I was estatic to find Enam from The Mansion at the door. The food was good, but not great. This Saturday I had a dinner party for 6 and when we arrived Enam introduced my party to the new chef, Amador Mora, who was the chef at the fabulous Trece, and now is at The Club. Amador's food was as good as any I have eaten in Dallas. He created a jumbo shrimp salad for us which was devine, one of my guest had a special ravioli and several orderd the organic salad. All in all from start to finish the food, service and ambiance was just what I had hoped and surely different from most Dallas fine dining restaurants. I was so pleased I made a reservation for this upcoming Thursday. I hope it is as good as my last visit.
Pros: Food, Service and Ambiance
Cons: Sometimes tough to get reservations
