After a long day of adventuring the beautiful grounds we needed a place to sit and enjoy some food. The decor was gorgeous, featuring flowers that can be seen on the grounds. The food was wonderful and our server was kind. Quick service and delicious food! Great place to stop bye!

A beautiful look into Dallas past! Fabulous mansion on the shores of White Rock Lake. The history of the wealth and list of famous people who frequented this place is amazing. Be sure to take the tour inside the mansion - a step back into that moment in time. The library, the children s room the feeling that a family grew up here so long ago. Thank you to the DeGolyer Family for their contribution to the citizens of Dallas of the beautiful acreage that now is the Dallas Arboretum.

For my friends and I the highlight of the Holiday Season is a visit to the Arboretum, the Degolyer House. This year it was a great disappointment compared to last year. It seems that Mr Hamilton has lost its touch. It was nice that other holiday displays were introduced, Hanukkah, Kwanza and Diwali but things were so haphazardly displayed and items seemed to be just thrown together.

Service was very nice and polite but really slow. Waited 30 minutes before our order was taken, after a 45+ minute wait to be seated. We had to get up and ask the host for our waiter. I had the chicken picatta. Wife had the Seafood stuffed avocado which was like a West indies salad. The food was good but not worth the wait. They also didnt have any non-alcoholic beer options. In their defense, theyre under staffed, as people havent returned to work from covid.

Wow what a great way to spend the day. We had a layover at DFW and rented a car to go explore, we spent a few hours walking around. I suggest doing the little tram tour around the park. The cafe near the entrance had great sandwiches and also offered beer and wine. We visited the park in January and found ig beautiful. The staff are supper friendly and bathrooms are clean. Perfect for kids and adults alike.

Lied to us about a large reservation wed made and told us wed have to leave when a wedding party expected to eat dinner shortly after wed arrived. Refused to refund our tickets and valet parking. I was in the park for less than 30 minutes and spent around $75. Im glad I didnt have to eat there anyway considering its chicken fingers and sandwiches that are catered from elsewhere. This place has the organizational management and customer service youd expect from a low end theme park.
