The saying goes that friends are the family you get to choose. Local bars are like this, too, and Goodfriend is that kind of bar.

Occupying the longtime home of the Blue Goose Cantina on Greenville Avenue, Goodwin’s is already an instant neighborhood go-to. Inside is lovely, with art-deco meets mid-century lux style, and the food menu, with playful riffs on classic American bar-and-grill, fare is chock full of winners.

Spawned by the same hatchery that brought the world The Cheesecake Factory, but with a potent Las Vegas insemination (note the contingent of huge angels mounted on the exterior wall curvature like medieval gargoyles and the gilded arches in the high ceilings), Grand Lux Cafe offers a menu as voluminous as a legal services bill […]
The Top 100 Dallas Restaurants, No. 22: Born in 1972, The Grape is Dallas’ quintessential bistro, a warm, cozy, even slightly cramped dining room where the walls are decorated with old wine cases and the food is creative but still comforting. The recipe for the superb mushroom soup, in which the mushrooms are diced just […]
