Aló Cenaduria & Piqueos				Write a Review
4447 N. Central Expressway	Central American, Mexican	$$, $$$	Park Cities
Aló Cenaduria and Piqueos is a chic depository of the street foods sold off carts and from stands along the thoroughfares of Mexico and Peru—street foods, all sexed up and sultry, as sinuously delectable as a sculpted gluteus maximus. Founding chef Taco Borga (La Duni and its... More >>

Bengal Coast Spice Traders				Write a Review
3102 Oak Lawn Ave.	Asian, Eclectic, Indian, Pakistani, Thai	$$, $$$	Uptown & Oak Lawn
In the strictest, most rigidly traditional sense, this is not an Indian restaurant. Rather it is Indian-inspired, and the key to its success is the kitchen’s ability to tame the complexity and heady sensuality of Indian cuisine while retaining its transcendent and lucid spirit. Ingredients... More >>

Boi Na Braza				1 User Reviews
4025 William D. Tate	South American, Steakhouse	$$$	Irving & Las Colinas
This is arguably the best Brazilian "espeto corrido churrascaria," or continuous service grill house, in the area. The space is palatial, if a bit banquet-hall-esque, the salad bar is ample and relatively fresh, and the skewered meats, served by gauchos with wicked carving knives slipped into... More >>

Cafe San Miguel				2 User Reviews
1907 N. Henderson Ave.	Mexican	$$$	East Dallas & Lakewood
Named after the Central Mexican metropolis of San Miguel de Allende, Café San Miguel is a casual yet engaging flirtation with Mexican cuisine coupled with Tex-Mex inflections. Café San Miguel is the work of restaurant designer Ron Guest and his small klatch of partners. The food... More >>

Charlie Palmer at the Joule				1 User Reviews
1530 Main St.	New American	$$$, $$$$	Downtown & Deep Ellum
With installments in New York, Las Vegas, Sonoma, D.C. and Reno, among other locales, chef Charlie Palmer’s Dallas increment sits in the Joule Urban Resort in a rehabilitated Main Street building, in all of its Texas handsome, breezy-themed glory. So it at least has an old Dallas pedigree.... More >>

Dallas Fish Market				Write a Review
1501 Main St.	Japanese, Seafood, Steakhouse	$$$, $$$$	Downtown & Deep Ellum
Dallas Fish Market chef Randy Morgan says his goal of primacy is to align food with décor, in this case a modern white glass and metal room with repeating geometrical shapes cleansed into near sterility. Thus Morgan, who resuscitated the shuttered Russian Tea Room in New York, works his... More >>

Fearing's at the Ritz Carlton				Write a Review
2121 McKinney Ave.	New American	$$$, $$$$	Uptown & Oak Lawn
Perhaps more than any restaurant in recent memory, the setting of Fearing’s—locked in the Ritz Carlton, honed by the Johnson studio of Atlanta into a set of distinct design chapters in the Fearing’s drama—is as critical to the experience as the mopped rib eye on the plate.... More >>

Four Winds Steakhouse				2 User Reviews
211191 FM 47	Seafood, Steakhouse	$$$	East Texas
It rests in the thick of the backcountry; at the end of a twisty driveway, wood fencing lining its flanks. There’s a gazebo, a long porch and a few oaks sulking in the breeze, plus a 15-acre pond where bass can be reeled in. This is Dallas steak dining as envisioned by Zeus and executed by... More >>

Local				Write a Review
2936 Elm St.	Eclectic, New American	$$$, $$$$	Downtown & Deep Ellum
Slipped into the historic Boyd Hotel, a Deep Ellum spot that made beds for luminaries like Bonnie and Clyde and Huddie Ledbetter, Local serves food that is fiercely simple, fresh and impeccably tight. Flavors dance in these dishes without blurring the palate with fussy complexity. Even simple... More >>

Loft 610 Urban Restaurant & Lounge				3 User Reviews
5760 State Highway 121 #175	Eclectic, Fusion, New American	$$$, $$$$	Plano
Chef Tre Wilcox took over Loft 610�s kitchen at the end of September, 2009, just as his television fame (Top Chef and Iron Chef) was beginning to wane. His arrival brought a new level of sophistication to the lounge/restaurant�soft smoke easing through a beautifully crafted tuna and cucumber... More >>

Nonna				Write a Review
4115 Lomo Alto Drive	Italian	$$$	Uptown & Oak Lawn
This isn’t authentic Italian food in the strict nomenclature of Italian regional cooking. Instead, Nonna—carved out of the foyer of The Food Company catering firm—employs a strict Italian approach (freshness, simplicity) while borrowing and combining ingredients and influences and... More >>

The Oceanaire Seafood Room				Write a Review
13340 Dallas Parkway, Suite 1369	Seafood	$$$, $$$$	North Dallas
If it swims, it flies. The Oceanaire has fresh fish—Arctic char, Shetland Island trout, barracuda, red mullet, smoked sturgeon, thresher shark, blowfish—flown in from every conceivable global spot—Iceland, the East Coast, New Zealand, Panama, South America, Hawaii. The menu is... More >>

Perry's Restaurant				1 User Reviews
2911 Routh St.	American, Steakhouse	$$$, $$$$	Downtown & Deep Ellum
Perry’s makes its bed with prime. And while prime may at times seem interchangeable with flame-proof saddle padding on many of the city's upper-crust steak menus, Perry's has the real thing both on paper and between the lips. It's juicy, rich and infiltrated with lusty silk that... More >>

The Porch				1 User Reviews
2912 N. Henderson Ave.	New American	$$, $$$	East Dallas & Lakewood
Billed as an urbane tavern with a relaxed ethos, The Porch is instead a sleek, polished brasserie with tongue-in-cheek menu entrants. The peel ’n’ eat shrimp are obese. The chicken Cobb is loaded with so much of every Cobb element you get lost in the bulk. But the capstone is the Stodg... More >>

Screen Door				Write a Review
1722 Routh Street, Suite 132	New American, Soul Food, Southern	$$$, $$$$	Downtown & Deep Ellum
Billing itself as an amalgamation of traditional Southern cookery and modern culinary style, Screen Door is really both and neither of these, though it splits its menu into then and now. It mixes the heartiness and nomenclature of Southern cuisine with a little European flavor. Hence foie gras... More >>

Shinsei				Write a Review
7713 Inwood Road	Asian Fusion, Japanese, Sushi	$$$	Park Cities
Crafted by the wives of famed Dallas chefs Dean Fearing (Fearing’s) and Kent Rathbun (Abacus), Shinsei is a sushi-centric, pan-Asian restaurant that Lynae Fearing and Tracy Rathbun have shot through and through with obligatory hip and an Eastern philosophical energetic vibe that crimps... More >>

Suze				Write a Review
4345 W. Northwest Highway, #720	Greek, Mediterranean, New American	$$$	Northwest Dallas
For some 10 years now, this tiny destination/neighborhood has ignored wayward trends and big-buck makeovers, sticking to the fundamentals of, um, Asian-lashed, Mediterr-ized American fare, with some global twists. Chef-owner Gilbert Garza and his kitchen sidekick Jeffery Hobbs change things up... More >>

Tei Tei Robata Bar				Write a Review
2906 N. Henderson	Japanese, Sushi	$$, $$$	East Dallas & Lakewood
Owned by Teppo Sushi proprietor Teiichi Sakurai, Tei Tei may well join Ferraris and long sabbaticals in Fiji as a slice of exotica vigorously lusted after. The "specials" chalkboard regularly features rare varieties of sashimi such as trigger fish and cristal fish, plus grilled baby barracuda... More >>

Teppo Yakitori Sushi Bar				Write a Review
2014 Greenville Ave.	Japanese, Sushi	$$$	East Dallas & Lakewood
Sired by Teiichi Sakurai in 1995 and since sold while Sakurai focuses on Tei An in One Arts Plaza, Teppo still floats to the top of the Dallas sushi outposts, now as thick as krill across our own special cowboy concrete landscape. Teppo riles with its compelling, often perverse sense of sushi... More >>

Trece Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Lounge				Write a Review
4513 Travis St.	Mexican	$$$	Park Cities
Chalk it up to climate change—everything else is—but it’s getting increasingly difficult to stir up deft authentic Mexican cuisine in Dallas. Most of it tries to pass muster, but most of it won’t spark the Pavlov reflexes. That’s why Trece—or 13—is just our... More >>

Yao Fuzi Cuisine				1 User Reviews
4757 W. Park Blvd., No. 108	Chinese	$$, $$$	Plano
Yao Fuzi serves a well-tempered genus of Shanghainese, the distinctive sustenance of Shanghai. It’s suffused with slivers of Mandarin and even Japanese to help keep it aloft in the flow of the mainstream. And it is without a doubt the most rewarding Chinese dining experience in North Texas.... More >>

York St.				Write a Review
6047 Lewis St.	New American	$$$	East Dallas & Lakewood
Open since 1989, York St. has seen its share of ups and downs. In early 2001, the restaurant was purchased by chef Sharon Hage. She cleaned it up, added more light and converged her attention on the menu. You will find an offbeat collection of dishes dictated by Hage's whims and what is fresh... More >>

Yutaka Japanese Bistro				1 User Reviews
2633 McKinney Ave., Suite 140	Japanese	$$$, $$$$	East Dallas & Lakewood
Tucked in a tiny, post-industrial mall space, this Japanese restaurant is perhaps the finest of its ilk in Dallas. Sushi is impeccably fresh. Dishes, such as foie gras on a daikon pedestal, are creative and exacting. Other Japanese mainstays are tipped on their ear. Baby octopus tempura,... More >>

Zen Sushi				Write a Review
380 W. Seventh St.	Japanese, Sushi	$$$, $$$$	Oak Cliff & South Dallas
Zen Sushi’s meditations are focused on the artifacts of the plate, nearly to the exclusion of all else. The surroundings are comfortable yet Spartan and reek of soul, much like the austerity of sushi’s exacting craft and discipline. At the end of the sushi bar is a pulpit to such... More >>

29 Degree Tavern				Write a Review
4701 West Fwy	American, Brewery	$$, $$$	Fort Worth
