I want to love Abacus more than I do. After dining there five times since I first came to Dallas, I must confess that I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. For me, what happens on the plate never manages to thrill the way cooking at this level and at this (high) price point should. It often pleases, but rarely delights or impresses. (Full review)
After a recent overhaul of the entire restaurant, including a sharp-looking redo of the bar and an augmentation of the wine program, Kent Rathbun's flagship is more of a draw than ever. It impresses continually that the restaurant can create a five-star dining experience (definably New American with some global-minded touches) in an atmosphere where you feel as comfortable decked out as you do in jeans – albeit designer ones.
