Like many business that found success in Austin, this Austin standby now has branch in Dallas. Here, you’ll find the same slick, modern trappings down to the neon glow and clean decorative lines. Iron Cactus offers gussied-up Tex-Mex (lobster tacos, anyone?), which can be paired with more than 75 tequilas. Perhaps you’d like tequila in […]
Loosely steeped in the cuisines of Lombardi, Tuscany and Veneto, Isabella’s (and its lounge, Isa) does a worthy job of straddling Italian culinary authenticity with Frisco suburbia fright points (No fresh anchovies here — yet). Respectable risotto shares space with a wonderful sea bass laced with olive p

Ivy Tavern is a local’s spot. Good news: you can be a local. And you and you and youuuuu. The Ivy is a big sports fan with lots of spirit. The inside bar is dark and comfortable, but be sure to saunter around to the back door for the big patio bar and courtyard. Don’t let […]

So far, that balance appears to be working; chef Jose Meza gets to roll out monthly specials like escamoles (ant larvae), but he’ll fix […]
James Rowland’s New American mesh ambles-like most N.A. menus-from Mediterranean to Asian to Southwestern. But what makes this place endearing are his experiments, like lobster bastard, a lobster omelet with American caviar, or his grilled pineapple and squash salad. Others don’t work, like the ceviche with warm, gray seared tuna and remoulade. But it’s all […]
The sushi is just so-so, plus it’s served on generic tableware instead of rippled clay sushi dishes or wood service platforms. But the hibachi grills are where the real action takes place. Here skilled swashbucklers take steaks, shrimp, lobster and chicken and transform them into circus animals, a mighty hard act for a strip of […]
