The annual Mobil Travel Guide ratings came out this week and there were few surprises. Dallas' slate of four-star restaurants stayed pretty much the same: Abacus, the French Room (at the Adolphus Hotel), Nana (at the HIlton Anatole) and Stephan Pyles. One notable absence is the Mansion Restaurant, which was demoted from five stars to four in 2002 and had remained there for the last six years. The restaurant will go unrated this year because the restaurant and Chef’s Room were under renovation during the rating period, said Erika Gonzalez, a Mansion spokeswoman. She said the restaurant expected to be rated for 2009. The big surprise was that Mobil granted five stars to the three-year-old Inn at Dos Brisas in Brenham, 40 miles from College Station. It was the restaurant’s debut on the Mobil list and one of only 17 in the U.S. and Canada to earn that five-star rating. The only other Lone Star State restaurants to return on the 4-star list were Quattro in Houston and La Reve in San Antonio. The Cafe at the Four Seasons in Austin, which earned four stars last year, was not included in the 2008 list. |

I think Inn at Dos Brisas made the list last year.

Thanks for visiting our blog, Logan.
I called the innkeeper at Dos Brisas and he confirmed for me that this was the first year they had participated and that this was their debut.
