Rafael and Kristen Alvarez opened Casa Del Bro in Frisco in early 2020 as an extension of three things they really love: healthy food, good ice cream and family (they have five kids).

Chennai breaks the mold of the stereotypical suburban Indian restaurant with clean, modern décor, and thali options instead of buffets. Every meal must be ordered off a sprawling menu that may contain significantly more dishes you don’t recognize than ones you do. This is a good thing.

Chinese hot pot is similar in many respects to fondue: it’s an interactive dining experience where the center of table contains a simmering pot of soup into which various raw ingredients such as veggies, meat, seafood, tofu, etc., are placed for quick cooking. The ingredients are sliced thinly to facilitate the fast-cooking process, and the […]

After being forced to turn his restaurant into a to-go sandwich shop during the pandemic, chef Rich Vana has brought The Heritage Table back to its former glory, where it sits among the best farm-to-table restaurants in the area. As part of the reopening, Vana focused his team on using all parts of each animal […]
Very good steaks and fair-to-good seafood in an atmosphere of cowboy excess. This huge grand hotel-like restaurant must be experienced at least once.
