Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Oak Cliff

Our brunch on 12/29/24 at the Mansion was absolutely wonderful. Everything was perfect. Jimmy, our primary server, took great care of us and was charming and kind as well. Without being asked, he told our 1 vegetarian about a biscuit with bacon in it that was brought to the table for everybody. Sang served us also and was just great. You won’t get service like this at too many places in Dallas! All 6 of us LOVED what we ordered. I had the salmon tart & Eggs Benedict, both excellent. Other standouts were the crabcake, the mushroom soup, the chicken schnitzel and a perfect omelette. But we loved everything that came to the table; lots of different things! We sat on the veranda, which is one of the prettiest dining rooms in town. From start to finish, this was a great experience.

Excellent food and ambiance. Braised short rib was delicious and flavorful (very filling). Tortellini was tasty. We also had the tuna and crispy rice very good as an appetizer (small portion). Cocktails were amazing as well! Spicy pineapple margarita, whiskeys and donuts, espresso martini, nana’s midnight ritual, whiskey shot all highly recommended. Mimi, our server was extremely helpful and attentive.

Our annual holiday brunch at the zodiac room was again a wonderful experience this year. The service is good and our waiter made sure that we always had a full glass of champagne!. The cost and amount of choices is reasonable and there is enough variety to please any palate.

The experience, food and drinks were absolutely fantastic. The only thing I should’ve asked for was to sit at a different table instead of right next to the only other party on that side of the restaurant. But most likely it was because there were just two of us. The most important things were great

Excellent experience as always - waitstaff was kind and proactive in allowing us to try a few different varieties of wine. Sixty Vines is always solid, but the Uptown one is the best of all.
