Ephesus is the kind of restaurant where the first impression is misleading. Its atmosphere is peculiar, and its appetizers can be shaky, but dig deeper to reveal a kitchen turning out delightful Turkish comfort foods. The best starter choice is a sample platter of meze, the small dishes and dips that introduce a traditional Middle […]

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 […]
Dangling miniature Christmas lights and plastic fish combined with tin pails of saltine crackers on all the tables give this dim, narrow seafood eatery in the middle of the Park Cities a surprising slightly laid-back, urban seaport feel. Start out with a batch of iced, fresh oysters on the half shell. If the famous slither […]
Known more for its extensive beer menu than its basic bar grub menu, Flying Saucer has more than a dozen locations, and this one makes good use of an old Colter’s Texas BBQ joint. The bar has more than 200 beers to choose from, with a whopping 90-plus beers on draft. While it can be […]

With a menu as big as the namesake mountain standing sentinel over Tokyo, Fuji offers something for everyone, from the neophyte making short forays into foreign cuisine to the old pro looking for something new to gobble.

It pretty much ends after ordering the signature half-pound Gazeebo, an Old Fashioned Cheeseburger or the Gobbler with mushrooms and Swiss cheese turkey burger. The […]

Genki is Japanese for energy and vigor. It is those qualities that the restaurant’s conveyor-belt sushi presentation puts to the test. It’s easy to stare wide-eyed at the yellow, blue and red-rimmed plates and want nothing more than to attempt to clear the belt. Pace yourself. There are more than enough volcano rolls to go […]
Gorji is nearly a one-man show, with chef-owner Mansour Gorji buying the ingredients, answering phone calls for reservations, greeting each table and cooking dinner with the help of a tiny handful of waiters and kitchen staff. The dining room is small, the atmosphere is intimate and each table is booked for only one party per […]
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 […]
Dallas restaurateurs Nik and Greg Katz wanted a seafood bar reminiscent of the part of South Africa their grandparents lived in near the Atlantic Coast. Green Point is open for lunch and dinner, and a seat at the horseshoe-shaped bar in the middle of the restaurant is a great perch. The space is chic and […]
