Restaurant Week DFW: The French Room

Blog· Food and Drinks· Reviews

Restaurant Week is a great time to experience restaurants in the area that you wouldn’t usually go to. This year, I decided to make a reservations at The French Room. I had never been there before so I knew this would a good reason to splurge. I jumped on the reservations as soon as they opened up because all of the better restaurants sell out FAST. Thankfully, I was able to get a reservation without any hassle. I do know that they sold out pretty fast.

The boyfriend and I made reservations after my Blushington appointment, see how well I planned that one out?  Bonus points to me.

The night that we had reservations at The French Room, it poured down rain and of course, we were about 15 minutes late for dinner. I called to make sure they knew we would be there since I knew scheduling was tight trying to fit everyone in for Restaurant Week. They had no problems with us being late, thankfully. Upon arriving, we were seated at a table for two that was lit beautifully with a candle and decorated with a single rose.

Before arriving, I had no idea what would on the menu. Unlike most restaurants that participate in Restaurant Week, The French Room did not have a menu available to look at which worried me a bit because I had no clue what was going to be offered. The great thing about Restaurant Week is having everybody at your table order something different so you can try a little bit of everything.

The first thing we ordered was Texas Corn Soup and Chick Dumpling. It was fantastic. Someone please tell me why I’m never had corn soup before.

The boyfriend ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, which was the biggest crab cake I have seen. Crab is one of my favorite meats ever and I appreciated that the crab tasted fresh and not fishy.

For our main course, I ordered the Filet of Beef Tenderloin. My meat was so tender, I was able to cut it with a fork. The bacon mashed potatoes that came as my side were amazing.

The boyfriend’s main dish was Fresh Atlantic Salmon served with mushrooms.

Dessert might have been our favorite part of the meal. The Tahitian Vanilla and Key Lime Creme Brulee served with Coconut Crisps.

Our second dessert was the Manjari Chocolate Dome served with an  almond nougat cherry gelato.Manjari Chocolate Dome at The French Room #dallas

After dinner we sat and drank (way too much) coffee and admired the scenery. Our meal was very delicious, not sure if it was worth the $150 that it cost for Restaurant Week.  I’ll be back at another time to take a look at the whole menu and try some other foods that weren’t available during Restaurant Week.

What is your favorite restaurant to visit during Restaurant Week?

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
