When you pick up the phone and call for room service, you don’t necessarily expect fine-dining worthy meals to appear at the door…unless you’re staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. Showcasing Texas’ finest and most popular fare, the luxurious uptown property was recently named among the top 15 in-rooming dining experiences around the world in the Saveur magazine Culinary Travel Awards 2013.

Executive Chef and Director of Food and Beverage Chris Southwick’s award-winning menu is currently offering Lone Star flavors in items like Texas Grapefruit Brûlée, Mini-Elk Sausage Corn Dogs with Dr. Pepper Barbecue Sauce, Short Ribs Braised with local Shiner Bock beer and Texas Pecan Pie. Regional dishes have also been added to the lineup including Crunchy Pulled Chicken Flautas with Poached Eggs and Black Bean Purée and Lump Crab Cake with Piquillo Pepper and Avocado. Should you not find anything to your liking, feel free to build a burger, salad, pasta or breakfast by choosing from the wide selection of ingredients so your meal is sure to be to your liking.

“Our In-Room Dining guests are true food-lovers,” said Chef Southwick. “They have shown an increasing interest in menu customization and local relevance, and I am exceptionally proud of the job that our creative culinary team has done to meet the needs of these treasured diners.” Another great option to guests is the ability to order from the property’s own Fearing’s restaurant, which has been named #1 hotel restaurant in the U.S. by the Zagat Survey. Tortilla Soup, Barbecued Shrimp Tacos, Apricot Barbecue-Glazed Texas Lockhart Quail, and Maple/Black Peppercorn-Soaked Buffalo Tenderloin are just some of the items that will also be helping to elevate the in-room dining experience for Ritz-Carlton, Dallas guests.
