It’s a little-known fact that Albert Einstein had two carb-loving brothers who chose to devote their lives to bagels instead of physics. OK, we’re lying. In reality, Einstein Bros. Bagels was created by the Boston Market company in 1995 as a way to market breakfast food; it now holds the title of the largest retail […]

Elephant East is a pan-Asian restaurant with a small but very intimate dining room, offering spots for small groups and dates. Start with an order of Bang Bang Shrimp or an umami rich lightly-fried soft-shell crabs covered in a spicy black bean sauce that same crisp napa slaw, which here was blessed with an umami-rich […]
The Ritz-Carlton’s swanky high-end restaurant from Dallas legend Dean Fearing is meant to be a city landmark for Southwestern cuisine. They definitely know their way around a cut of game – like bison tenderloin or thick, red slices of grilled antelope – and dessert can be downright joyous. But Fearing’s isn’t above gimmickry, like the […]
Fiatto is a new casual Italian-American restaurant with seasonally-inspired dishes. Executive chef Kylil Henson previously worked at Flora Street Café, French Laundry (Yountville, CA), DBGB Kitchen and Bar (Washington, D.C.), and Coque (Madrid, Spain). The décor has a coastal vibe with bright pops of color, natural wood, and a flood of natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows. […]

After more than a decade at his self-titled restaurant, serving his famous standards – tamale tart, cowboy rib-eye, heaven and hell cake – Stephan Pyles banished them to another concept and started anew at Flora Street Caf
This Ginger Man location in an old two-story house really takes the “public house” origins of the word seriously. The pub offers up picnic style seating in the beer garden out back, an upstairs lounge with its own bar, and a balcony with still more picnic tables under a covered patio. This Ginger Man has […]

While owner Gloria Rubio is Salvadoran, she certainly knows she’s in the Lone Star State and knows that most of us have a special place in our stomachs for Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. That’s why the menu here is split pretty much down the middle between the foods of her Central American homeland and local […]
No, Alton Brown is not in the kitchen dispensing his food-science knowledge with every menu item. This casual eatery, established in 1986 and with three Texas locations, isn’t out to edify its customers. Rather, its mission is to woo patrons into ease and comfort. The menu reads like a roster of Lone Star and Southern […]
Naturally, when The Grapevine moved out of its beloved small pink adobe on Maple Avenue in 2023 there was skepticism about whether the charm could carry over. Great news: They double-bubble packed it. After about three decades, they reopened the bar in a spot a mile from the original, and kept most of the staff […]

The menu says wedge, but what you get is more like a half-sphere. Greenz doesn’t mess around while plating up roughage. Portion sizes here are generous, and ingredients are fresh. In a burger-heavy town, it’s nice to see a restaurant focus on veg. But don’t think Greenz is synonymous with healthy. That wedge comes with […]
A sister restaurant to the famed Grimaldi’s under the Brooklyn Bridge in the DUMBO neighborhood, for whose products devotees wait hours for a pie, this shop serves Neapolitan-style pizzas from a coal-fired brick oven. Take your pick from 12-, 16- or 18-inch pizza pies topped with anything from anchovies and jalapeño to Kalamata olives and […]
