Historic Warwick Melrose – Dallas is celebrating the reopening of The Landmark Prime Rib. The restaurant has long been part of what makes the historic Warwick Melrose a popular Uptown destination for locals and visitors alike.

“One of the things that continues to make the Warwick Melrose a top Dallas destination is how it seamlessly blends the charm of the old with the tastes of the new,” Executive Vice President of Warwick Hotels and Resorts Warren Chiu said. “The Landmark Prime Rib reopening for dinner as a prime rib steakhouse adds another layer to the Warwick Melrose experience."

The distinct prime rib service will offer Dallas (8 oz), English (12 oz), Prime (14 oz) and “Millionaire” (20 oz) cuts at one of three temperatures, and will be cut and served from a vintage carving cart in the center of the restaurant. The signature dish features rotating sauces, rubs and butters from traditional to spicy chili infused.

The unique service offers a chance for the chefs to serve and talk about the food directly with guests. Other menu items will include pan-seared salmon and sea bass, free range roasted chicken breast and additional cuts of steak like NY Strip Dianne and Filet Mignon. Favorites like garlic mash and truffle mac and cheese will be available, as well as Bordeaux mushrooms and sauteed broccolini. All beef cuts will be sourced from local Texas grass-fed vendors.

Born in the 1940s, The Landmark’s vintage cart has a storied history of its own. After making its way from its native California to an artist’s New Jersey warehouse, this perfect artifact found its way to the Landmark team to bring back to Dallas for a full restoration. Unlike many of the modern versions one sees today resembling an Airstream trailer, the Landmark carving cart sports beautiful wood paneling from ground level leading up to the shiny, stainless steel dome. By tradition, it rests on wheels, but the cart remains anchored at the center of the restaurant for guests to always have the perfect view.

A selection of new cocktails will join the beloved wine and spirits menu. “The Landmark Prime Rib Boulevardier'' combines Blanton’s Bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth. The “Staycation" features Hendricks gin, PAMA Pomegranate liqueur, spiced pear liqueur and lime juice. “A Walk Down Landmark Lane” mixes Kettle One vodka, St. Germain, cranberry juice, lemon juice and simple syrup. 

For those guests looking for a delicious non-alcoholic beverage, a new series of artisan mocktails will feature Tepetan cold press cocktail mixers. “Perfect Timing” fuses Tepetan orange pineapple, non-alcoholic sparkling wine, grenadine, and cherry.  “Hot Tin Roof” combines Tepetan pineapple, jalapeno, sparkling water, and lime.

The Landmark Prime Rib will continue its breakfast and lunch service, as well as Sunday brunch. It will now be open for dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. seven days a week.
