Although now defunct, Angela's Bistro was one of Dallas's quaint hot spots. Featuring a lush atmosphere with wood floors, cozy lighting, and modernist art work, patrons could feel perfectly at home as if they were in their own kitchen. While being soothed by classical and jazz selections, the food almost looks home-made and ranges from crab cakes, to cooked scallops, and usually ends with a chocolate pecan-crusted dessert. May Angela’s rest in peace.

It is surprising that Chaparall is now out of business, considering it was a very high profile restaurant at the Adams Mark Hotel in Dallas. Patrons could literally experience the high rise on the thirty eighth-floor in a warm, rich setting that was suited for both private and more lively dining. Offering both steak and seafood, such as the Seared Red Snapper and Cherry Smoked Pork Chop, there was quite a wide range of nutrients to choose. The restaurant shall be missed by Dallas locals and hotel patrons alike.
