Since 1999, Abacus has represented the quintessence of creative dining injected with a good dose of common sense. Today, its neutral-beige interior feels like a time capsule from 1999; its menu, an abrupt collision between Texas steakhouse and Japanese sushi bar, is similarly dated. The good news is that the food can still be good, […]

Being a casual bistro inside of a four-star hotel has its benefits like validated parking with an optional valet and high class ambience. The updated lobby’s marble finishing offers a cool, sleek look and candlelight offers warm ambience that is striking and sophisticated. Aside from the absence of the famous chandelier, Asador stays true to […]
The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings such as the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is […]

The concept behind Clark Food & Wine in Lowest Greenville may be difficult to grasp — smoked brisket shares the menu with roasted beets and goat cheese — but it’s not difficult to find a decent bite here. Start with the crab salad, which boasts a generous serving of crab meat, and move on to […]
Las Colinas is known as a part of town where business happens. Top executives from all over the country travel to this section of North Irving to buy, sell, merge and do all sorts of other businessy things. And when the day is done, many of these tycoons can be found seated at the richly […]
Young Fort Worth professionals and show-goers alike flock to Live Oak Music Hall and Lounge for the bar’s wide selection of craft beers and for its large, theater-style stage. Modern d
If you couldn’t already tell by the name, the folks at Love & War in Texas are very proud of the Lone Star State. So proud that they created a bar and grill with Texas as the theme. Located on Grapevine Mills Circle, the road that wraps around Grapevine Mills Mall, the watering hole attracts […]
It’s no secret that Texas, unlike most (or all) other states in this country, is obsessed with itself. You shouldn’t mess with us. We’re like a whole other country. We even have cookware modeled in the shape of our state. Have you ever seen a saucepan the shape of Ohio? That’s what we thought. And […]
Founded by Luis Ramirez and David Treviño, Nuevo Leon melds dishes from South-Central Mexico, a lush region famous for its fiery spices and guisos (meat and sauce with chiles and vegetables), and the arid Northeastern region famous for its charcoal-grilled steaks. The first unit opened in Farmers Branch in 1994, and a second followed on […]

Ozona Bar and Grill is named after the tiny, unincorporated West Texas town of Ozona. A town that happens to be the one-and-only town in all of the vast expanse that is Crockett County, and whose motto happens to be “The Biggest Little Town in the World.” So Ozona’s a fitting name for a bar […]
Relocated from its Bank One Tower perch to a more grounded tabernacle of cowboy cuisine and artifacts, Reata maintains its deft touch with domesticated hoofed foods, game, grits, tamales and calf fries, a culinary abuse of the bovine family jewels. But the décor is as much of a show as the food with cowboy murals, […]
Specialty tacos are nothing novel, but that hasn’t stopped restaurant chains from going over the top. Tin Star Taco Bar is a perfect example. The restaurant is the home of the cheeseburger taco. Naturally, innovation never rests. The cheeseburger taco (served with cheddar, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle relish bacon and yellow mustard) is […]

Twenty years and the progenitor of upscale Mexican is still cruising along. And they still take “upscale” seriously: fish tacos feature a thick, barely seared salmon filet. Black bean soup feels hearty and earthy, until the prickly heat of fresh chiles creeps in. After all this time, it’s still worth a visit.
