Abacus Restaurant Review

Chef de cuisine Christopher Patrick now helms the kitchen at Abacus (Kent Rathbun continues to work with Kent Rathbun Concepts, but is wearing a different hat). Patrick's menu will change seasonally, with standout dishes including the seared diver scallops and Nueske's bacon-wrapped heritage Berkshire long-bone pork chop with hummingbird bread. Menu favorites remain, like lobster shooters...

This high-profile restaurant fits the "everything's bigger in Texas" image. The interior is as spectacular as it is warm. The menu, which changes frequently, depending on the best seasonal options, melds Southwestern and Asian cuisines, resulting in creations like lobster shooters flavored with red chili and sake. People come back for the sushi.

Excellent anniversary spot.

The restaurant, hostess, manager were all excellent. However our waiter was not. Seemed anxious and distracted, took our order and came back to ask if we were ready to order when we'd already ordered. Dinner was quite expensive and the saving graces were the busboy, manager and ultimately waiter that ended up finishing our dinner service.
