    Our brunch on 12/29/24 at the Mansion was absolutely wonderful. Everything was perfect. Jimmy, our primary server, took great care of us and was charming and kind as well. Without being asked, he told our 1 vegetarian about a biscuit with bacon in it that was brought to the table for everybody. Sang served us also and was just great. You won’t get service like this at too many places in Dallas! All 6 of us LOVED what we ordered. I had the salmon tart & Eggs Benedict, both excellent. Other standouts were the crabcake, the mushroom soup, the chicken schnitzel and a perfect omelette. But we loved everything that came to the table; lots of different things! We sat on the veranda, which is one of the prettiest dining rooms in town. From start to finish, this was a great experience.

    Excellent food and ambiance. Braised short rib was delicious and flavorful (very filling). Tortellini was tasty. We also had the tuna and crispy rice very good as an appetizer (small portion). Cocktails were amazing as well! Spicy pineapple margarita, whiskeys and donuts, espresso martini, nana’s midnight ritual, whiskey shot all highly recommended. Mimi, our server was extremely helpful and attentive.

    The ambience in the restaurant was amazing. The service we received from start to finish was great. Our server was Christopher and manager was Brazil and they went above and beyond to ensure that my mom and I had a wonderful experience. They suggested entrée and drink items that did not miss. My mom had the salmon with curry and rice. She really enjoyed it. I had the crab fried rice, which was extremely flavorful. The drinks were great. I will definitely be visiting again soon with family and friends. The location was good. We’re able to park and get in and out quickly

    Excellent experience as always - waitstaff was kind and proactive in allowing us to try a few different varieties of wine. Sixty Vines is always solid, but the Uptown one is the best of all.
