The duck is plated alongside Saffron Rice and Tikka Masala Cream that really brings things together and fuses seasonality with technique. “Big plates” as they call them included a great new dish centered around Garam Masala Dusted Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast Grilled Leg Confit. Pairing the salty foie gras with a sweet and spicy cream pie was so unexpectedly good that it had me going back for bite after bite. My favorite new small plate, Seared hudson valley foie gras with Oatmeal Cream Pie, Pomegranate Reduction, and Orange-fennel Marmalade was so differently delicious. Abacus was kind enough to invite me in to sample some of the new offerings that infuse the flavors of the season to their already amazing line up of plates. In pairing of the Happy Hour addition to the Abacus line up, a new fall menu has launched as well. Don’t miss the poke tuna-avocado roll with spicy ponzu and cucumber either! The classic cocktails on the happy hour menu pair perfectly with specially priced food! One of my favorite additional happy hour treats was the “Volcano” Crab Dip with shiitake mushrooms, scallions and house made potato chips. in the Abacus Lounge, guests can partake in $12 appetizers, including the famous lobster shooters.

Every Tuesday through Friday from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. Now, they are rolling out a new weeknight happy hour. With quality ingredients, expert technique and a flair for including sometime unthought-of combinations, the restaurant wows every time. Abacus in Dallas is a mainstay restaurant for those looking for amazing dishes and drinks that continue to push the boundaries.
