This plush bistro is a survivor from the days when the Crescent Court was the It Location. And it has weathered very well: steady service, strong drinks and a menu that sometimes shows signs of chain-age (it is, in fact, part of a Seattle-based restaurant chain), but most times ranks with the city’s top destinations. […]
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 successfully straddles the razor-thin line between feminine refinement […]

The mood evoked at The Ranch at Las Colinas goes far beyond its namesake. Yes, the design of the place, inside and out, suggests that you kick off your spurs and mosey up to the bar for a cold one. But the Lonesome Dove decorations are accompanied by a serious upscale vibe. The sleek granite […]
The famous Abacus chef turns his attention to more common fare, such as catfish and fried chicken-which is kind of like asking an accomplished concert violinist to play a fiddle tune. When he pulls it off, though, results are thoroughly satisfying. Polished service and a standout setting.
When you do pull over, you’ll discover Raul’s Corral, a Tex-Mex restaurant that also claims to serve steaks. That giant longhorn out front isn’t actually in the Raul’s parking lot.
