The premise of steaks, seafood and pasta under one roof is not unique. But at Even Coast, chef Omar Flores has jumped into the concept with both feet, and the payoff has been splendid. Fresh seafood abounds, and Even Coast’s graceful handling turns out gems like a Texas redfish imbued with Creole flavors. Pastas are […]

If you’re looking for an inexpensive meal that feels like an event, Everest Restaurant may be just what you seek. The kitchen focuses on Nepali cooking, but branches out into Indian and Chinese fare as well. A visit isn’t complete without an order of the goat momo, savory dumplings that burst with flavor, and which […]
The Exchange serves as a large food hall and anchor for the AT&T Discovery District. There are more than a dozen locally owned and operated restaurants inside that offer a myriad of dining options: lobster rolls, burgers, baked goods, ice cream, mediterranean, waffles and more. A large bar in the center of the complex has […]
Fachini is a nod to fantastical dining: tuxedoed servers, Dean Martin crooning on the speakers, and opulent Italian decor. But it works best when its fantasy world is Texas-specific. There’s a tribute to the original Campisi’s Egyptian Restaurant, the Dallas restaurant that has served Mockingbird Lane since 1950. Fachini’s Egyptian salad ($15) starts with iceberg […]

A sumptuous array of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods greets you at Fadi’s, from lamb shanks that melt off the bone to roasted chicken, grilled-to-order kebobs, stews, and numerous fresh salads, side dishes and desserts. Served up cafeteria-style, the dishes ranged from good to outstanding on our visit, and the value is terrific, too. Try […]
Charbel Hamad wants you to focus on his wife Fadia’s sweets when you visit his deli and bakery, and you probably should. His baklava is light and sweet compared to dense saccharine versions that often eat like a gut bomb. But the falafel served in this small storefront in Richardson may be one of the […]
Farm+Feed located in The Shops at Legacy North in Plano is the newest gaming restaurant to offer a place to play console, PC and board games and enjoy food and drinks that are far above whatever can fit through the plastic partition of a vending machine. They excel at delivering both in a way that […]
The common Dallas thin patty has no home here. Fat Daddy’s serves up them up big and juicy at half a pound with seasoned steak fries and drinks in a checkered paper-lined basket. The hand-formed burgers and the varied toppings and condiments bar are only part of the allure of this family-friendly Casa Linda restaurant. […]
Fat Ni is fun. Everything about it is fun. Well, it’s in a strip mall, but aside from the location, it’s a good time. To order you’ll get a sheet of paper on which to check off boxes, almost like ordering Girl Scout cookies. It allows newbies to get familiar with the options. Then, in the […]
Bubble tea is something you love or hate. The popularity of this bubble-tea shop shows that a lot of people fall within the former group. It might have something to do with the café being sandwiched between the Galleria Dallas and Valley View Center malls. Named after the wide straws used to consume the cold […]

Fattoush is tucked away in an obscure strip mall in the even more obscure town of Pantego that somehow earned squatters’ rights in the middle of Arlington. The chef here, Bashar Al Mudhafar, emigrated to the U.S. in 2010 after befriending American soldiers who frequented his Baghdad restaurant. One meal led to another, and after […]
The Ritz-Carlton’s swanky high-end restaurant from Dallas legend Dean Fearing is meant to be a city landmark for Southwestern cuisine. They definitely know their way around a cut of game – like bison tenderloin or thick, red slices of grilled antelope – and dessert can be downright joyous. But Fearing’s isn’t above gimmickry, like the […]
Federales in not a taqueria. It’s more like a swag-dripping day club that just so happens to serve tacos. It’s the dreamchild of Chicago-based hospitality group Four Corners, which has created a barrage of bars and eateries from Chi-Town to Big D. If you approach it from Malcolm X, the harsh exterior metal cage is […]
The concept of a Campisi off spring heads in an very different direction from the family pizza joint: classy Italian. While the cooking can slump, the lounge side is a gorgeous blend of Sinatra then and Dallas now.
Owner Francesco Secchi is from Sardinia and has additional island experience from stints with the Royal Caribbean and Royal Viking cruise lines, so he’s developed solid creature-of-the-sea expertise. Try the scampi alle fiamme (jumbo shrimp in garlic, olive oil, pinot grigio and brandy served with linguini and flambéed at your table) or the risotto with […]

Pitmaster Doug Pickering’s fatty brisket is soft and tender and melts in the mouth like meat candy; the bark, at times crispy, retains only a subtle whiff of smoke. The pulled pork, slathered in a sweet-spicy sauce, is fine. The ribs have a sweet brown sugar glaze that will win them many fans. Among the […]
Fiatto is a new casual Italian-American restaurant with seasonally-inspired dishes. Executive chef Kylil Henson previously worked at Flora Street Café, French Laundry (Yountville, CA), DBGB Kitchen and Bar (Washington, D.C.), and Coque (Madrid, Spain). The décor has a coastal vibe with bright pops of color, natural wood, and a flood of natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows. […]
The concept for The Fifth is an upscale neighborhood restaurant with a from-scratch kitchen and a big bar with strong cocktails. The dining room is of modest size with some deep spacious booths, which makes for a not-too-busy experience. It’s anchored, however, with a large bar and an even larger climate-controlled stone patio with a fireplace. […]
This new Irish-style pub offers great cheese boards, sliders with fries and pommes frites with a dipping-sauce trio of interesting alternatives to plain old ketchup. Befitting of a Euro-style pub, the Fillmore is clean and beautifully decorated with polished wood and sports sturdy, scarred, wooden tables. Unlike most bars in Ireland, though, it’s kept dark. […]
