18th & Vine’s name comes from the neighborhood that put Kansas City jazz on the map, and the main dining room’s cream-colored walls pay homage to those roots with photos of KC greats like Charlie Parker and Count Basie. The decor is classic and upscale eclectic, with none of the kitschy country touches that seem […]

Al Biernat is the czar of the front door, the dining room sheik, and that’s all you need to know. Bred at The Palm where he held court as frontman for some 22 years, Al Biernat knows that great steaks and fine seafood vibrate beyond their requisite flavor profiles when jolted with charm. Al Biernat’s […]

Shiny and new, like a freshly minted gold coin; more luxurious than a pimp’s RV; more HD sets than Mark Cuban’s bathroom. Where all the top-o’-pops acts play, if that’s what you call the Eagles and Dave Matthews Band; also, very sportsy. Still, it’s a tad too big for the little people, who sit high […]
An inexpensive lunch combo of a made-to-order sandwich, a bag of chips and a drink makes for an old-school deli attractive to workers from the nearby Scottish Rite Hospital and hotels as well as UT Dallas students. Better still, the bargain-price lunch special is just one of things that distinguishes this shop from other sandwich […]
Arcodoro & Pomodoro is no longer the casual, family-friendly Italian joint it was when the restaurant was in residence on Routh Street, and that’s a boon for serious devotees of Sardinian cooking. Now in nearby Crescent Court, the restaurant excels at hard-to-find dishes such as suckling pig, panadeddas and delicate “music bread.” While the pastel […]

Owner Jack Ekhtiar’s small restaurant is a place where hip meets classic. Dark wood frames live jazz. Rustic Mediterranean fare, predominately Northern and Southern Italian, is presented elegantly. Among the examples are farfalle carbonara, a 6-ounce Brazilian lobster tail over spinach linguini alfredo and shrimp as well as carpaccio Avanti with white truffle oil. On […]

The mixology at this bar puts it into a category of its own. Ruben Rolon, the beverage director who previously developed a Michelin-recognized establishment, is redefining Dallas’ cocktail scene. The drinks are meticulously made, often taking multiple days to perfect, with a focus on reinterpreted classics. Add in their exotic spirits and global wines paired […]
Bar W is a new sports bar along Maple Avenue across from The Stoneleigh, where The Stoneleigh P long lived. The crowd leans toward college sports fans, except when Love Islandis on (love is a sport, many would say). They have a lot of space for big crowds both inside and out, with TVs packed […]
The former (and in our minds, original) Carbone’s Fine Foods has been reincarnated as Barsotti’s. The trappings of the new space feel a little more upscale since the remodel, but the restaurant still executes classic and unpretentious Italian fare. Classic dishes like vodka rigatoni or lasagna Bolognese stream through the dining room regularly. Be sure to […]
