On this night, a stunning 12-foot dessert table showcased a nine-foot pavlova (Mirador's signature), as well as sugared fruits, passionfruit tarts, hazelnut truffles with white chocolate bows, chocolate Manjari tarts with sugared pearls, and a pair of croquembouche, all devised by Mirador pastry director Ruben Toraño and Pauline Badillo, with the evening's menu created by executive chef Travis Wyatt. I did a few laps and saw the man himself, Tim Headington, who was there to applaud his team. I eventually made it to the bar for a much-needed glass of cheer — the French spritz (Mirador's take on the French 75). Drink in hand, I retired to the balcony for the dramatic view through the clouds, where Dallas gleamed like Gotham City.
