1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Alex Baker *Image sheet attached The Buzzell Company HOTEL ZAZA s DRAGONFLY RESTAURANT DEBUTS NEW, SLEEK DÉCOR AND MENU Executive Chef Dan Landsberg Creates a Modern American Kitchen with a Playful, Creative, and Sophisticated Culinary Direction DALLAS (March 14, 2011) Hotel ZaZa Dallas has reopened the ever popular Dragonfly restaurant with a sensational new look and atmosphere, from décor to menu, to reflect an exciting new energy. Dragonfly has been remodeled to incorporate lighter colors, clean lines, bold fabrics and an art infused ambiance that now spills out onto the terrace and around the pool for al fresco dining and cocktails under the stars. Executive Chef Dan Landsberg has redesigned the menu, taking a playful twist on traditional modern American food classics, which serve as a perfect complement to the restaurant. After nearly eight years as THE destination for the Dallas A list, we felt it was time to change the scenery. The new Dragonfly is a popular, relaxed neighborhood restaurant, with a one of a kind, creative menu, upbeat ambiance and an understated elegant design, said Charlie Givens, owner of Hotel ZaZa. The new culinary and design direction allow the restaurant to expand its reach beyond being a special occasion restaurant, to one more accessible for all tastes. The restaurant will continue to deliver the unsurpassed quality, creativity and artistic edge for which Hotel ZaZa is known, while adding energy into the Dragonfly concept. more

Classic 20th century Bentwood bistro chairs and stools are poised in front of a 20 foot white Carrera marble bar. Iconic Fornasetti wallpaper is also used tastefully throughout the restaurant, bringing a sleek feel to the restaurant and bar. Chef Landsberg brings a new menu using the freshest foods of the season from local suppliers, as well as incorporating specialties from the region. Guests will discover many delicious additions to the dinner and lunch menus. A majority of the menu items are new, with many favorites remaining that have been reinterpreted under Chef Landsberg s culinary direction. Dragonfly has emerged as a place that will impress every guest the minute they walk in the door. The new design and menu changes we ve implemented have turned this restaurant into a place where food, décor and ambiance form the perfect blend to exceed each guest s expectations. Dan and Charlie have pooled their talent together to create a place where a new standard of dining has been created, said Benji Homsey, president of Z Resorts Management and Development, LLC. The menu, colors, fabrics, art and light throughout Dragonfly defines ZaZa style and a new level of service for our guests. Each and every Dragonfly guest will be surrounded with the vibrancy of a true art hotel. The new Dragonfly features thought provoking photography and art throughout the restaurant. A large, framed video installation is displayed near the bar, along with a gallery collage of selected art and photographs to further enhance the artistic additions. Many of the featured pieces of artwork are from the private collection of Charlie Givens. more
