Such a stunning setting any time of year. The decor here is beautiful, Erika was my server today and she is absolutely lovely. My food was good - just a little bit of a heavy combo with how much cheese was on it. Will definately be back.

We were big fans of Ellie’s before the transition to Astra, and honestly, not much has changed other than the name — which is a good thing. We had reservations for Mother’s Day brunch at Astra inside the HALL Arts Hotel, and despite the weather trying to derail things, the team absolutely delivered. Our party of 8 was originally supposed to sit outside, but the rain had other plans. The staff quickly came to the rescue and moved us to a private table in the back that turned out to be perfect. My 3-year-old grandson had room to play, and our family could actually hear each other and enjoy the moment together. The management team specifically assigned John Passarella to our table, and he was outstanding. Our gentle giant, was professional, attentive, kind, and completely on top of everything during what was clearly a very busy and chaotic brunch service. He especially made sure my mother-in-law was well taken care of, which meant a lot to our family. Overall, it was a crazy day for the restaurant, but the team — and especially John — made the experience memorable. Four hours later, we left full, happy, and grateful for such a great Mother’s Day celebration.

Was having an event at HALL Arts Hotel, and decided to stop at the hotel resto for a quick lunch. I ordered a ginger ale, the pressed spicy tuna sushi, and the chicken thai salad. The sushi was great, and I liked the presentation/way it was prepared - I had never had pressed sushi before! The salad was perfect - crispy, fresh, crunchy, and a ton of flavor from the different ingredients (mango, chicken, avocado, etc.) We sat outside on the covered patio, which was lovely to enjoy the beautiful Dallas weather. Our service was nice too. Would definitely come back to find their other dishes and enjoy their patio again!

We arrived at the Astra kitchen for lunch, their was no wait, we were greeted at the entrance by a Very friendly hostess. We were seated at a lovely table with a view of the terrace/ patio. I only wish it were a warmer day I would have enjoyed that gorgeous patio. Are server greeted us immediately she introduced herself as Celia, she was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu she had some great suggestions, she answered all our questions with confidence. We took some of her suggestions and everything was absolutely Delicious!! Service was impeccable!!! The atmosphere of this restaurant was relaxing,and quiet. Everything about this restaurant was inviting,we had a wounderful experience. We are looking forward to returning soon!

12/20/25: Staycation at Hall Arts Hotel. Ellie's Restaurant & Lounge was recommended by the front desk, and we decided to check it out. Chelsea was our hostess and she was great. Very nice, laid back atmosphere, with several TV's by the bar area. We were seated at a table, and it was a very comfortable setting. The food was pretty good and the service was great. Cam, the manager, came to check on us, and he was great.
