The Adolphus has tapped chef Michael Ehlert (Front Room Tavern, Hibiscus) to take over The French Room’s kitchen. Ehlert’s “interpretation of classic French cookery” will extend to a new concept: The French Room Bar and Salon. Via a press release:
The Salon is a chic, lounge-worthy space that welcomes guests just outside of The French Room and features curated artwork from prominent Texas artists. The Bar, adjacent to The French Room, is an effortlessly cool and stylish cocktail venue offering a thoughtful beverage program and shareable plates.As for what The French Room 2.0 will look like — this is the space’s first renovation since the 1980s — you can expect a renewed dedication to French-tinged fanciness designed by Dallas firm SWOON The Studio.
... the renovation features meticulously applied candlelight-white Venetian plaster walls reminiscent of Parisian landmarks complementing gilded Louis XVI-style chairs, and the twin Italian Murano Glass chandeliers restored to their original sparkle.Aside from that, you can expect “thoughtful table-side flourishes and a comprehensive wine program,” according to a press release.
