We had our Rehearsal dinner here and it was very nice. They have a nice upstairs section that private from the rest of the restaurant with a nice roof top area with cool lighting and views outside. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is what we were looking for. They have setups for a projection screen and bar service is available.
Absolutely loved the food and service!
I would highly recommend El Fenix for your wedding reception venue! We had the DJ set up outside on the patio and the tables/food/bar set up inside. It was great to have a place for everyone to eat/mingle and a separate place for people to go and dance/party at the same time. The lights and the skyline views from the rooftop are incredible and make for beautiful pictures as well! The staff was very helpful and professional and the food was excellent! We are so pleased with how everything turned out!
Any questions?
The El Fenix downtown rooftop was a wonderful rehearsal dinner location for our son and daughter-in-law! Service, food, open bar and ambience were outstanding! Planning the event was a smooth and professional experience which was particularly important because we were out of state hosts. El Fenix provided two 72-inch flat screen TV’s which played a beautiful and impressive video presentation created by the maid of honor. We were able to provide our music playlist which was played through the sound system in the banquet room and patio area. The experienced staff was very accommodating working with us using in house and host provided décor, coordinating floral delivery and running practice sessions on video and music presentations. Consistently good food! Fantastic experience!
Just had our wedding there Jan 13th. The night was truly magical. The food was delicious and El Fenix team is amazing. I was very happy with everything and would highly recommend doing any event there. We had the ceremony outside and the reception inside b/c it was pretty chilly, both provided lovely backdrops for our wedding.
El Fenix catered our wedding, we choose chicken and steak fajitas. The food was so good, and so very affordable compared to other catering options. I honestly paid about half of what other vendors quoted me. And the food was so good, and very “us.” The service was also phenomenal. If you’re looking for a way to save some money but not skimp on qualify food, I highly recommend El Fenix!
This space was perfect for our number of guests. We did have a few issues with communication day of our wedding. Overall, good food and nice venue!
My daughter's wedding was held here on July 8th on the La Terrazza Rooftop - downtown Dallas. It was fabulous. We had the ceremony on the rooftop, then reception/dinner inside, then dancing & fun back on the rooftop and or inside. It was amazing. From beginning to end the staff in the events dept. (Robyn) & restaurant (Tony was our attending head waiter) (Mark the General Manager) were so attentive and stayed on top of everything! There were possible issue's with the weather that they stayed in constant contact with us about. Great communication. Our guests were so impressed with the venue, food & staff. The venue is so beautiful & romantic. Perfect lighting with a back drop of the Dallas skyline makes for great photos. The food & drink packages were awesome & the best bang for your buck in Dallas! Everything went off without a hitch. Very smooth. I highly recommend the rooftop here for any event!
We used El Fenix's Downtown location for our rehearsal dinner - specifically the private upstairs area - and it was wonderful. The ambience was perfect, the mixed indoor/outdoor areas provided our guests a nice option for socializing, and the food was delicious. Bar service was efficient and wonderful, and the gentleman managing the dinner was very attentive. The only minor note is they do not have a TV up there in case watching/presenting something was part of your event plan, but they can provide a screen & projector. Highly highly recommend!
