Upscale Dallas Restaurant and Lounge

After being greeted by the doorman upon your arrival, you will enter the first set of double doors into a mini corridor that is surrounded by transparent glass waterfalls on each side. Dangling above from the aluminum plated ceiling is a crystal sphere chandelier that lights up that illuminates the corridor. Clientele will enter the venue through another set of red double doors that have octopus tentacles as door handles. The octopus symbolizes the ability to comfortably blend into its atmosphere, and that is exactly how we want our clientele to feel as soon as they open the doors and enter The Lobby of our upscale Dallas restaurant and lounge.
