Lawry’s The Prime Rib

If you like thick prime rib slobbering in jus with time-worn décor and mannerisms, this is the place. Lunch at the Ale & Sandwich bar is astounding.

LDU Coffee

LDU isn’t trying to be the kind of coffeehouse where you post up all day on a comfy couch with a laptop; Australian coffee culture is more about the coffee itself. Those modern design elements – all that wood and concrete – make the space get quite loud as the room fills up, so it […]

Le Taco Cantina

Le Taco sprung after Scotch & Sausage’s shifted direction at their Oak Lawn restaurant to a more Dallas-y direction: tacos and tequila. Moo shu duck, yellow curry and tempura avocado join the usual suspects like carnitas and such. And then there’s the torta burgers. You’ll need to unhinge your jaw to get your mouth around […]

Leela’s Pizza and Wine Bar

Leela’s Pizza and Wine Bar in Uptown is a cozy minimalist pizza and wine den bathed in calming wood and forest green. They offer 16 wines on tap, a process that reduces waste and ensure quality wine. We love the Roman-Tonda style of pizza that is cracker thin but strong enough to hold up the […]

Lefty’s Lobster and Chowder House

Lefty’s specializes in Yankee-style seafood served in a cheerful, friendly place with great good will. The lobster dinner–a one-pound lobster, baked potato and corn on the cob–gets the good-deal award, the chowder is excellent, and fish specials are dependable.

Legacy Hall

Legacy Hall in Plano has it all. It’s a hub for live entertainment, bars and restaurants that seats more than 400 people, with additional standing space to hold up to 1,200. The place rocked into their grand opening with a performance by Denton-born singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe. The outdoor portion of Legacy Hall is called the […]

Lemongrass

Owner Khoa Nguyen has created an Asian fusion restaurant that doesn’t feel like a “fusion” restaurant. Instead, Nguyen has toyed traditional dishes while retaining authenticity to provide diners with “refined Vietnamese” — his words. The Vietnamese rib-eye carpaccio appetizer is an example of this. The thin slices of steak are presented in the authentic Vietnamese […]

The Liam’s Steakhouse

If you’re not in the West End Dallas scene, what are you doing at this point? Kidding, kind of, but avenues are opening for people to find their way into the- what once was- culture rich section of Dallas. Today the revival is real, starting in restaurants just like this one- The Liam’s Steakhouse. The […]

Liberty Burger

The first Liberty Burger opened back in 2011. Famed for both fresh ingredients and long lines, Liberty’s ethos (which you can even find under the tab marked “Ethos” on their site) is “without quality there is no value.” That may sound like a more business-oriented version of the Jedi Code but the ethos also focuses […]

The Library Bar

The Library Bar sits on the ground floor of the Warwick Melrose Hotel in the Oak Lawn area, not far from downtown Dallas. Designated a Dallas Historic Landmark in 1983, the original hotel was built in 1924. The Library Bar offers patrons a relaxing, dimly lit piano-bar environment in a laid-back library setting — though […]
