Our group of four had an early dinner prior to going to the Meyerson. We were seated on time, service was prompt, courteous with no mis-steps. We were seated upstairs with a lovely view of the lighted trees outside the downtown Dallas area. We were able to carry on a conversation without yelling. Food was EXCELLENT. Salad portion was ample and main course (beef tenderloin) was so juicy and tasty. Creme brulee was a treat. We will definitely be going back.
