L'Ancestral French Restaurant of Dallas - (214) 528-1081

The best French cuisine I've had in the states. From the moment we walked in the door, the atmosphere was authentic, and relaxing. No overdecorated Americanized version of what a French restaurant should be. The owner and staff all French and extremely helpful and charming. My lamb was cooked to perfection in a sauce that wasn't too heavy but instead was just right and wonderful w/ the Chateauneuf Du Pape. After dinner they brought out a dessert liqueur that was frozen into a block of ice for our anniversary. Incredible. If we lived in Dallas we would go to this restaurant every weekend. Jacques from Cannes is welcome at our table in Houston any time he wants. Thank you L'Ancestral for a memorable dinner. It's hard to find these days.

The Savoy room has some of the best food in Milwaukee. I've taken many out of town clients (from California to New York) there for dinner and the result is always the same - they rave about the filet (which I usually recommend they try) and the atmosphere. It is especially enchanting if you are familiar with the restaurant's history. I rate this restaurant as one of the best in the business

My boyfriend took me here for our first time the Friday night before this past Valentine's Day. It was not very busy, maybe 5 other tables were seated. Upon greeting our table it was obvious that the snobby waiter felt we were too inferior for kind and friendly service. He did not go over specials, hardly wanted to take our drink order, then when we asked what he recommended on the menu he basically (and very rudely) said order whatever the hell you want. He did not check on us once during dinner nor did he offer dessert. Perhaps if we had been sitting with the loud group of homosexuals at the table next to us we would have been more accepted by the stuck up waiter.
