About

Five Star Dining from Executive Chef Christopher Patrick. Abacus uses the freshest ingredients available.

Story

In 1999 we swung open the Abacus doors and changed the Dallas dining scene. The primary goal was far simpler than sparking a food revolution. It was simply to focus on returning to polished, unpretentious service. Chef Chris Patrick uses fresh, local ingredients, prepared to perfection and served with style in an elegant space. If Abacus is the flagship for anything, it’s for epitomizing relaxed, fine dining.

The food was amazing! Would definitely return for more. I had the mako shark and my wife had the venison. Our waiter (Daniel) was very knowledgeable, and explained everything that was on our plates. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star review is that where we were seated was a smaller room off the side of the main room where a big party too up 3 big tables, and they were so noisy that I couldn't hardly hear my wife taking from across the table or the waiter.

UPDATE: One of the purposes of Yelp is to help consumers in their purchase decisions--but another is for service providers to better their service. Abacus took this opportunity soon after I posted the below review. Within a week of my review a manger reached out and left a voicemail kindly stating that he would like to discuss our experience at the restaurant so that improvements could be made. That speaks volumes. Unfortunately, I forgot to update my review to reflect this until now, and the restaurant's effort should be noted. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Abacus gets four stars in most areas (restaurant design, staff/management, etc.) but two stars where it matters most--cuisine. I was wholly disappointed in the food at a restaurant of this caliber. Perhaps the disconnect was that it was restaurant week and Abacus diminished food quality in order to satisfy the masses. However, even much-heralded items (e.g. the lobster shooters) were unimpressive.

First time. Seated right away. Nice decor. Food was good. They had a little bit of everything on the menu. Our server was educated about the menu and made it easier to order. Great presentation. Pricey. Would go back.

High expectations let down by mediocre service. The food was excellent, but the service was subpar. Plating and proportions were a little small. Food was delicious, but most of our plates were served more lukewarm than not. We had reservations for 8:00pm. We were told it would be a minute, so we sat at the bar which was not busy at all. After 10 minutes of waiting, I was finally able to get a bartender’s attention, as no one even glanced our way. We ordered drinks, and continued to wait. After a 45 minute wait from our arrival at 8, we were finally seated. The restaurant was bustling, but not overly busy. There were several empty tables as well. We ordered wine and drinks, and after 10 minutes were informed that our wine selection was unavailable. We selected a different bottle and were served promptly. 20 minutes into our dining experience, the waitress finally took our orders for an appetizer. We expected her to return shortly for ordering our entrees. 30 minutes later, she finally returned to our table, our glasses long had been empty, with the appetizers. She refilled our drinks, and promptly left. We ate our appetizers which were small, but delicious. At this point, we were almost an hour into our dinner, and 1.5 hours into our experience, and we hadn’t even ordered our dinner. Approximately 15 minutes after our appetizers were finished, our waitress returned to take our dinner orders. At this point, several other parties who had been seated after us, had already finished their meals and were leaving. We ordered dinner, and then waited another thirty minutes for dinner to be served. At this point, there were only a few tables left that were still occupied. Dinner was finally served and most of the food was lukewarm to cool at best. At this point we were well over two hours into our experience and didn’t have time to wait for re-plating. We finished dinner, ordered dessert to go. The meal was a very pricey meal, and the food, had it been hot, would have well been worth it. But when paired with the complete lack of organization, and dysfunctional atmosphere, this $700 meal was more than exorbitant. By the time we left, we were one of the only diners left. We had high hopes for this restaurant, but will not be back due to a complete lack of quality service.
