Great atmosphere for lunch. I would give it a five star for atmosphere, but being around super wealthy people made me a bit uncomfortable. Excellent presentation on the food, but taste is mediocre for a restaurant of that class. We ordered their special apple juice(tasted just like what I make at home), a cheese plate, barley mushroom soup and the turkey kefteh sandwich. Soup was good. Sandwich and cheese were ok. Their ice tea is very good, however. I got the jasmine green tea and it was just so fragrant. The food here is extremely overpriced for the quality. I just want to try the place out. Probably won’t come back again.

I had the opportunity to have lunch at the Grange Hall restaurant today, 10÷2÷15. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. You have to eat there if you are in the Dallas area. The place is beautifully decorated and the flower arrangements are gorgeous. They also have a store that has very unique and creative gifts for you to buy. If you only have one place left to eat in your life, you need to go to this restaurant. It is only opened for lunch, however, it is truly an experience you will not forget. The chef is the best.

Pros: The waiter was excellent – knowledgeable about the various flavors, ingredients, and general philosophy behind the menu. The atmosphere also struck a good balance between trendy and warm. Cons: I ordered the cheese plate and their signature snob salad. Each dish sacrificed flavor for being trendy. Their snob salad sounded delicious with caviar, and salmon. But these two items did not pair well with the other ingredients in the salad nor did the caviar carry the expected and much needed punch. The cheese plate was along the same lines. Beautiful presentation with a diverse arrangement of fruits, nuts, and cheeses. However, nothing paired together well enough to be memorable. My selections in general seemed like an assortment of eye catching ingredients that in the end did not blend well together. Normally I would not be so harsh on a first visit but my mother’s salad suffered a similar fate. And my salad was one of the top selections.

Thinking this was going to be another ladies who lunch lame restaurant, I was totally wrong. Very creative yet not frou-frou presentation. Surprisingly large portions of well thought out and very delicious food. Ingredients are modern and super fresh. The Snob Sandwich is incredible as is the cheese course. We were also impressed with the superb fish of day(turbot). Wine list has something for everyone and is well thought out(we had a great $ 36 rose’ from Provence). Smooth and confident service. Will definitely return.

Apart from their awesome store, I was a very curious to try this place. From the beginning the staff welcomed us with a smile and let us know that they were closing soon(we arrived 10 minutes before closing time). We thought about leaving because we didn’t want to feel rushed. But we were quite surprised by the waiter who told us not to worry and let us take our time to order. We had a great experience! The setting is wonderful, the tables are well set, the silverware was beautiful. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich(can’t remember the name displayed on menu) … It was amazing! We had the cheese board which was exquisite. I really recommend this place for a full experience. Loved it and will go back anytime. I’ll give it 5 stars!

While the Grange Hall is mostly known for their eclectic collection of rare and exotic gifts for those who can afford them, they also have a restaurant tucked in there as well. As you would correctly assume if you’ve visited the gift shop, the restaurant is also beautiful and … special. I was a bit nervous to dine here with my family, including my youngest son(age six) after browsing the exclusive offerings for sale. I had found a nice wine glass offered for sale, the price, $ 1,599.99(sixteen hundred dollars). SO, imagine my anxiety and blood pressure as I observe my son assemble his flatware into a new shapes, This flatware was gold and wood and… quite beautiful. My brother also accompanied us, he’s real good at using his iphone at the table. He quickly examined the maker’s mark on the back to comfort me with the knowledge that a serving set was about $ 60 on the interweb. OK, I let him continue to make pyramids with the forks and knives while I ordered a nice Gruner Veltliner from the wine list($ 11). Ok, so the room is beautiful. Service was competent, could be improved with an introduction. Our waiter literally approached the table with«are you ready to order?». Ok, I get it, we don’t really NEED to know his name, but it’s become an expectation to provide a bit of amiability along with the cloth napkins. The service was good, just the delivery could be warmed up a bit. All the other staff was friendly and approachable. We came for lunch, and the food was good. I’ll jump out and say it was REALLYGOOD. Everything was plated in an artistic and delicate manner that brought a smile as soon as it was laid on the table. Each item exceeded expectations introduced by the menu descriptions. The portion of fish, was HUGE and perfectly prepared. My kids enjoyed the soup and salad. The caviar on my brother’s Snob Sandwich… that was NOT the cheap caviar. This was the real deal. This is the perfect place for a somewhat secret and special dining experience. We all left happy and fulfilled. If you are looking to impress somebody, or just treat yourself, I highly recommend the Grange Hall restaurant, reservations recommended and valet was provided.
