Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck Officially
Opens
Wolfgang Puck Unveils his Debut Fine Dining Restaurant in Dallas
Master
Chef's fine dining restaurant illuminates Dallas's skyline as
it sits atop the city's landmark Reunion Tower.
"We
are proud to be a part of Dallas' first-rate culinary scene
with the launch of Five Sixty," said Wolfgang
Puck. "It's an honor to be in this iconic location, helping
create new special memories for our guests."
The
journey into the restaurant begins at a newly designed sleek,
glass pavilion. After ascending 560-feet into the center of
the circular restaurant, guests are greeted with stunning 360-degree
views of Dallas seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Five
Sixty's modern interior, created by EDG Interior Architecture
+ Design, exudes a sophisticated and warm ambiance, created
by merging the structure's hard materials, such as metal and
glass, with softer design elements. A palette of warm gray,
ivory and silver lends subtle contrast to the space. Textural,
natural materials such as wood, glass, ceramic tile and stone,
including locally harvested mesquite floors, complement the
cool stainless steel sushi and robata bar. Modern settees, legged
booths and arm chairs upholstered in mohair, velvet and leather,
allow guests to enjoy the incomparable food, beverage and service
in comfort and style. An ultra-contemporary, illuminated glass
bar, joined by stylish lounges, provides guests with an opportunity
to experience Five Sixty for drinks and appetizers.
The Zen-like atmosphere of the space is enhanced by the slow
rotation of the restaurant overlooking the city.
"It's
thrilling to be part of this renovation," said EDG's lead
designer, Jennifer Johanson. "We're giving Reunion Tower
new life and magnetism while celebrating the essence of what
makes this landmark great."
Five
Sixty's Asian-influenced cuisine features some of Chef
Puck's signature dishes including the Chinois Chicken Salad
and Spicy Tuna Tartare in sesame-miso cones, as well as specialties
created by Executive Chef Sara Johannes, such as "Tiny
Dumplings," with pork belly, black vinegar and chili oil;
Grilled Lamb Chops with Hunan eggplant and chili-mint; Lacquered
Chinese Duckling with lo-mein noodles; and Grilled Double Cut
Bone-in Prime Beef Rib Chop for two with wasabi-armagnac peppercorn
sauce and drunken noodles. The menu can be enjoyed in the 150-seat
main room or at the restaurant's two stylish bars, one that
is stationary and one that revolves.
Wine
aficionados will appreciate Five Sixty's extensive
list, featuring more than 400 labels with a majority of American
producers as well as wines from Austria, Argentina, France,
Germany, Italy, Spain and New Zealand. The impressive selection
is encased in a custom-designed, refrigerated glass display
running the length of the wall adjacent to the restaurant's
entry.
"This
is an extraordinary and exceptionally unique location to open
our newest restaurant," said Tom Kaplan, senior managing
partner of the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. "We're
excited to create unforgettable memories for the Dallas community
and for visitors to the city."
Five
Sixty by Wolfgang Puck is open Tuesday through Saturday

The dining room is open Tuesday through Thursday from 5:30pm
