    The hotel is beautiful. Valet was a little slow but they were very busy. Was there for brunch. The biscuits were dry and kinda tough but I think that is by design. I ordered the Biscuits and Gravy which I was happy that the gravy is chicken based opposed to pork. The gravy helped to soften the biscuits and they were better. I also got a side of the potatoes which were great!

    We made a reservation for the seven of us for Sunday brunch via opentable, and the server nicely brought us two plates of fresh fruit as complements for booking online. We ordered the french press which says enough for two but really was enough for four people. We all ordered different things and loved all our food: the eggs skillet, beef and eggs, tri tip hash, french toast, avocado toast. Can’t go wrong with anything! So just depends if you want savory or sweet. They validate valet parking so a plus! It’s inside the Adolphus hotel so very nice vibes. Highly recommend this place! We’ll come back to try dinner as well!

    Probably the best meal we had in Dallas- the brunch! Everything was perfect - the location, ambience, service, food and $$. This is located in the Adolfus hotel - Such a pretty place!! The omelette was really good and highlight was the custard orange blossom- vanilla french toast - exceptional! We also got a side of the turkey sausage - house made - very flavourful! This is a must try brunch place and I highly recommend it!

    This restaurant is in Downtown Dallas and located inside of Adolphus Hotel. It has a free valet parking for customers of the restaurant which I consider a plus since it’s always a hassle for me to find parking in downtown. It is an upscale restaurant with a lovely ambience great for a date or a meeting. The brunch option was delicious and filling for quite an affordable price. The waiters were friendly, knowledgeable and brought the meals in a timely manner. Overall, it’s a great place to try.

    Some of the best brunch I’ve ever had, maybe even THE best! If you like sweet, you must try the brick toast…chef’s kiss 😚

    Great atmosphere for a nice brunch. The prices are a bit high but worth every bite. The good was delicious. The mimisosa was not exceptional for the price.

    We had a large group for a brunch baby shower. The staff were so friendly, kind, flexible, and accommodating. The Adolphus is always a wonderful place to have a meal, but Christmas at the Adolphus is just magical. Our food was great, the cocktails were excellent. I can’t thank Stacy and Jalen enough, they took excellent care of our group and helped us make memories we will keep with us for years to come. Thank you so much for an incredible experience.

    I had a nice time watching people come and go while enjoying a new book. Billy helped me order and was solicitous and kind. My cocktail was delicious and the presentation was A+. Thank you Billy and and The City Hall bar.

    We came for breakfast at City Hall Bistro the day after my birthday, I went with my son, the atmosphere is relaxed and I love the natural plants in the place, the food was delicious, good taste and on time. Yahaira was our waitress and she took excellent care of us, thank you. I had the Spinach and mushroom omelet and my son had a breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious. Thank you!

    The food and service was great. I would recommend eating here. I had the vanilla brick French toast and the burger. My friends tried other dishes.

    The ambiance and service were great! However, I felt the food was very lackluster, especially for the price. We had the avocado toast, vanilla custard toast, and breakfast sandwich. The avocado toast was pretty pricey at $18, +$2 to add an egg, and $8 for a side of bacon. If you do not add the bacon and egg, you are essentially paying for greens, a piece of bread, and some avocado - pretty little substance. The avocado portion of this was premade guac and pretty bland. The bread was good, but there were too many greens and they added too much bitterness to the dish - this was essentially a $28 avocado toast that was average at best. The breakfast sandwich was served on a hamburger bun and served with your standard frozen potatoes that had been warmed up with little seasoning. The egg on the sandwich was essentially an entire tri-folded omelet which sounds good, but in reality it made the sandwich pretty hard to eat. I would have rather have had less egg and a better bread choice for the sandwich. The vanilla toast was good, but a little dry from the reheating. With the pudding/custard interior I expected it to be more velvety than have a consistency similar to a pound cake. Our total bill after tip was almost $100 for 2 people - I’m fine with, and enjoy, a pricier breakfast but expect the food to rise to the cost. There are far better restaurants in the area I would recommend before City Hall Bistro.

    Plain tasting food. Pics look good on here but nothing special. Service was pretty rough. Missed a couple things and inattentive. Go somewhere else. Not family friendly. Not good for groups. Stupid high price for quality of food and service. Have to valet and pay a lot to park to get here. Long wait on valet and food.

    This is our favorite downtown breakfast. Their omelets are amazing and they come with a salad that is flavored with a very nice vinaigrette. My wife had the eggs Benedict and loved them. Even the coffee and juice were top notch. Our server, Ali, was great. He did an excellent job of attending to our every need and was very personable.

    City Hall Bistro is inside the gorgeous Adolphus Hotel in downtown. I live close by and finally decided to go after many years. The brunch was great and not too busy. The spicy bloody mary was one of the best I have had. Definitely come here if you're in downtown, come early they close at 2 on the weekends.

    The food here was phenomenal, the service was attentive and lovely, and the space is stunning! They had options for gluten free for nearly everything on the menu and were very knowledgeable about allergies. Highly recommend! We got the Eggs Benedict and the Shortrib Hash. So good!

    Had a lovely time with a friend yesterday. They make excellent Latte and service is pleasant and really relaxed. The food recommendations we received from our server excellent. I had Short Rib with Potatoes. We shared a Vanilla pudding toast of some sort it. It was very delicious. Definitely would come back again.

    I have come here for brunch several times, each being incredible. Very fresh and high quality food, with a big focus on the ingredients. Once I was celebrating my birthday alone, and the manager was kind enough to comp my meal, which was unexpected but much appreciated. The overall setting is just beautiful, especially with the stunning hotel lobby you walk through to enter. Great place for pretty much any occasion!

  • 5/5 Robb C. 1 year ago on Google
    We only came here because it was attached to our hotel but we were thoroughly impressed. Very low key atmosphere but excellent food and service. I hope more people find this place I highly recommend.

    I was at the hotel for a business meeting and walked into my new favorite Cafe! I had one of the best grilled cheese and tomato soup! The staff was very friendly starting with the Host, Chefs and waiters. The vibe was very relaxing and clean!

    We went on a Friday evening with a group of about 10. My meal was very small for the price, to the point that those around me were concerned that I had enough to eat for dinner. The photo I'm posting was taken right after my first bite. I ordered the Butternut Squash Mezzaluna entree ($19) which included maybe 8 raviolis. Additionally, the manager/server was a little unfriendly/rude, which slightly upset my friend whose birthday it was.
