Searching for a bar north of Addison won’t yield too many results. But, should you find yourself near Preston and Frankfurt, Grover’s has all the staples of the neighborhood bars to the south.

La Salsa Verde is a locally owned authentic taco spot with six locations around North Texas, most of which are pretty small spaces, but that’s no worry. The Northwest Highway location has a big dining room, but the Coit Road and Plano locations are especially close quarters. Set your takeout container on the passenger seat, […]
This is without question one of the finest venues in the metroplex. Few eateries possess the inviting, warm pull this Provencal bistro exerts, from the sheaves of dried lavender that soak the place with a sharp, musky smell, to the brick arches that provide a gentle rustic edge. A cursory glance at the table makes […]
This South Indian vegetarian kosher restaurant offers an extensive menu of vegetable dishes and even Indian pizza. But novices can get a sampler with the lunch buffet, which is two-sided and so long it takes up the width of the spacious dining room. Favorites included the naan stuffed with vegetables and spices, curried vegetables, chickpeas […]
