| Once you step on the walkway
to Abacus, you will leave the worries of the outside world behind.
Our doors open to a tranquil setting that is sure to please
even the most discriminating of tastes. As you enter, you are
greeted with a warm smile and escorted to an area that suits
your mood - the elegant bar where your night may begin and end,
one of our three art-filled dining rooms, or perhaps the chef's
table which seats 8-12 guests. The chef's table provides
you with a view of the first European style theater kitchen
in the city, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. The kitchen itself
would be worth a visit, but the food is what brings our guests
back time after time.
Since 1999 Abacus has received Mobil Four-Stars, AAA Four
Diamonds, and Five Stars from the The Dallas Morning News.

"I want everyone that experiences Abacus to feel as
if they are a guest in my home," says Chef Rathbun, who
opened his new restaurant in pursuit of a lifelong dream.
"We treat our customers in such a way they will want
to return often to let us wine and dine them in our uniquely
hospitable way."
When you become one of our guests, you know that the focus
is on you and your enjoyment of the flavorful dishes prepared
as you like them. Chef Rathbun and his staff go the distance
to ensure personalized service and the best possible dining
experience for every guest that crosses our threshold. Having
worked with many celebrated chefs in world renowned restaurants,
on television, and at special events, Rathbun's interest in
creative, new, and unusual dishes have taken him to kitchens
all over the world to research new ways to prepare food. This
research is widely reflected in the Abacus menu, which demonstrates
Rathbun's eclectic style by blending Mediterranean, Cajun/Creole,
American, Southwestern, and Pacific Rim influences into unique
sensations.
