SERENADED AT SER
Reaching the pinnacle is con- sidered a great achievement. So it stands to reason that hav- ing a dining experience atop the iconic Hilton Anatole hotel, with panoramic views of the Dallas skyline, is something to be noted with distinction. SER Steak + Spirits offers just such an acclaimed experience. The sophisticated décor
paired with executive chef Kevin Spencer’s bold and innovative cuisine choices, plus handcrafted cocktails and a superlative selection of curated
wines, combine to offer one of the finest dining experiences available in Dallas.
What truly sets a weekend evening at SER apart from all other fine dining establishments in the city does not come on a plate. Yes, the 45-day aged prime rib with tomato chutney, olive oil and hollandaise, or the Wagyu “spinalis” with marble potatoes and SER steak sauce, or the bone-in filet of beef with applewood bacon and whole grain mustard vinaigrette, and even the tater tots with house-
made ketchup are all amazing. But, what makes dining at SER a pinnacle experience is the smooth, lilting serenade of troubadour W.T. Greer who performs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.
Oprah Winfrey once invited
Greer to sing for her ocean party guests and told them, “If I could imagine the ocean with a voice, it would be the voice of W.T. Greer.” Nelson Mandela once asked to meet Greer after his halftime performance at a
Dallas Cowboy’s game. Before Greer could even speak to him, Mandela raised his arms and loudly said: “It is a pleasure to meet you! You have the voice of an angel.” Vocalist, songwriter and pianist, Greer has performed for six of the nation’s presidents and first ladies, and he’s toured Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, North and South America. He was recently honored by the Sammons Center for the Arts as its entertainer of the year. Having performed in Dallas for 30 years, Greer’s name is synon- ymous with class and romance, so it is no wonder he is the exclusive performer in such a sophisticated restaurant. Greer’s bedroom voice cre- ates an atmosphere for appe- tite, both dining and otherwise, and couples often find them- selves drawn to the dance floor to sway to the gentle rhythms that Greer weaves with his voice and the grand piano. A music set combines old familiar favorites with new popular hits, and Greer even peppers in a few originals.
It is no wonder that the sing- er has been called the Nat King Cole of our generation, and an evening enjoying his talent, especially in such a special en- vironment as SER, is an evening spent at the apex of musical and dining pleasure. The hotel offers compli- mentary valet parking for all patrons. Dinner hours are from 5:30 to 10 p.m. and the bar remains open until 11 p.m. Res- ervations are not required but recommended.
