The menu in Dallas was created by Dean Fearing who has been honored as Best Chef: Southeast by the James Beard Foundation and who's restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, Dallas was named "Restaurant of the Year" by Esquire Magazine and #1 in Hotel Dining in the US by Zagat. It tasted essentially like a spicy jalapeno margarita. To continue the Texas-themed dinner I ordered a Tex/Mex featuring Tito's Vodka, Cabeza Blanco Tequila, Corn, Honey, Lime, and Jalapeno. One gentleman I ran into said he eats here 3-4 times per week and said the food was generally very good. The food was good, with brisket that was probably as good as any I would have at a restaurant outside the airport. The night I visited I was treated to a Tex-Mex themed buffet complete with smoked BBQ brisket tacos and enchiladas. Of course - there are also semi-private workspaces and a family room. In addition to the bar, buffet, and snacks there is also a concierge able to assist with travel bookings, dinner reservations and entertainment requests as well as a private shower suite - perfect for cleaning up after a long flight before heading home.Įven more remarkable is that there are limited spa services including massages and manicures that are offered on a first-come-first-served basis. As such, it was no surprise to find an exciting and unique cocktail menu, but I didn't realize how wide a menu of other services awaited members in the lounge. I had heard great things about their bar and the signature cocktails developed by mixologist Jim Meehan who as well as having served at some of the top clubs in the country is also the deputy editor of Food & Wine's annual cocktail guide. The Centurion Lounge is open to all American Express card members for a $50 fee (one-day pass) but for those Platinum or Centurion members, access is complimentary. Located on Concourse D, opposite of Gate D17, the lounge is easily accessible from the Skylink train. me too! Airport lounges have evolved over the years from the old days when you got some complimentary orange juice and maybe a stale cinnamon roll.Ī couple weeks ago I was privileged to be invited to visit the new The Centurion Lounge at the Dallas Fort Worth airport and what I found was pretty impressive. Both offer a decent array of food, so where you go will depend on what you’re in the mood for.Do you fly often? Sick of grabbing crappy overpriced airport food before jumping back on another flight? Yeah. If you have access to both, hop between the clubs and decide which one fits your palate better. Each time I am in Dallas, I opt to eat and spend my time at the American Express Centurion Lounge over the Admiral club for two reasons: Food and Spa. Final thoughtsīoth the Admirals Club Flagship Dining and the American Express lounges offer a decent spread for breakfast. In addition, the full bar will satisfy any alcohol craving you may have during the early morning hours! This lounge also has servers which will clear tables and refill drinks from the bar.
The breakfast at the American Express Centurion lounge offers a decent spread of both proteins and carbs. Food options included scrambled eggs, quiche, waffles, and an array of fresh fruit. The American Express Centurion Lounge offers hot food for breakfast and expands on just the typical continental breakfast which most lounges offer. Yet for those who have access, breakfast items may look more appealing in this competing lounge. The Centurion Lounge restricts access to Platinum and Centurion credit card holders, but offers a similar buffet along with Spa services and a well equipped bar, all for free! Flying first class or having elite status will not grant access to this exclusive lounge. Meanwhile, just down the concourse from the Admirals club is the Dallas American Express Centurion Lounge. American Express Centurion Lounge Breakfast Flagship Dining is a nice benefit, but it is a not full dining experience which can be found at other OneWorld first class lounges. Otherwise, full table service is not part of the experience. They both worked hard to keep tables clear and coffee and mimosa glasses full. The highlight to the flagship dining is easily the fresh fruit juices and smoothies along with the plentiful mimosa! There were two lovely attentive ladies working the lounge area. Yet for $11.99, an omelette can be ordered from the omelette station in the main section of the Admirals club. Surprisingly, the only eggs which are part of the dining options are boiled.
Bread options are plentiful, along with a few protein choices which include smoke salmon, salami and yogurt.
American Airlines Flagship Dining breakfast is carb forward and heavy.
