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 […]
Park Cities in Dallas Observer
Showing 111 - 132 of 232
Since 1977 Javier’s has been a Mexican classic in Dallas, one that sneers at Tex-Mex in favor of sophisticated Mexico City cuisine. It’s a dark destination, a hideaway shielded in lush Park Cities foliage. Yet with all of this, we find ourselves in deep “like.” There’s no denying its elegant rusticity (two stuffed bears-felled by […]
Since 1983, John and Julie Broad have owned and operated the kind of place where everybody knows your name. That type of hospitality only makes the from-scratch, small-batch, freshly baked cookies even better, say the regulars — some of whom have patronized JD’s Chippery since the beginning.

The weekday breakfast menu includes yogurt and home-baked breads. Kathleen’s also is a hot spot for brunch,lunch and dinner, with light, creative fare and a highly touted dessert cart.
One of the best steakhouses in Dallas, this spot isn’t as flamboyant as Town Hearth, as party-centric as Nick & Sam’s or as old-school as Pappas Bros.

Knox Bistro’s menu offers ingredients that aren’t at all complex but are so brilliantly executed that […]
The NorthPark outlet of the Arizona-based East-meets-West chain has a see-and-be-seen patio that seems to be bustling from open to close. You might try sitting at the bar with its 2,000-gallon aquarium backdrop. Either way, request Kona’s signature dish, the Macadamia nut chicken, or sushi rolls with fusion creations such as the Big Island meatloaf […]
While predominantly a meat market, Kuby’s is as close as you can come to experiencing a stripped-down, Old World delicatessen. It also offers customers a dining experience. Among the most popular is wurst teller, a sausage plate with homemade sauerkraut, German potato salad and red cabbage. The dinner menu also includes a rotating selection of […]
This “Latin brasserie,” sprung from the mind of ZuZu Handmade Mexican Food chain co-founder Espartaco Borga, is a collision of homespun recipes from Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Cuba. This makes for a sexy assortment of enchiladas, salads, quesadillas, grilled marinated picanha steaks and sandwiches on fresh-baked rolls. La Duni also has a […]

In addition to fresh and relatively inexpensive sushi, Little Katana offers a variety of steaks and other meats cooked on a custom-engineered grill to tame the intense […]
