This mermaid-inspired raw bar and champagne room sits adjacent to Paradiso along Bishop Avenue. The open-air courtyard has couches and is a great space for chatting and watching the vibrant scene pass-by. There’s a small but well built cocktail menu and several seafood dishes in addition to a raw bar with fresh shucked oysters.

Barbecue is a humble art, and there’s something special about brisket procured from a barbecue shack on the side of the road. Trouble is, most of the ramshackle joints across Texas don’t serve very good smoked meats – that is until Travis and Donna Mayes first fired up their brick smoker in 2009. They’ve been […]
Hand-made tortillas that kick ass: That’s really all you need to know about Meso Maya. Chef Nico Sanchez doesn’t have to devote so much of his staff’s time and effort to tortilla-making, but he does, and that attention to detail filters down into most of the cooking in this Preston Hollow Mex-Mex spot. They turn […]

In 2023, Lower Greenville’s Belgian-influenced Meyboom Brasserie made its entry into our annual Best of Dallas list thanks to a stellar espresso martini that, quite frankly, blew us away. But Meyboom’s espresso martini is no outlier. The Meyboom team, guided by owners April Segovia and Jeff Karetnick, has set a high bar in all aspects […]

In 1981, Tiburcia “Butch” Enriquez opened the doors to a restaurant that would become as synonymous with Tex-Mex as chile con queso. Dishes are dedicated to family members, chief among them Butch and his Original Brisket Tacos (two brisket tacos filled with Monterey Jack, grilled onions and poblano peppers served with brisket gravy, rice and […]
If you think Uptown is all dude-bros and overpriced high-rises, you’re wrong. Find some respite in the impressive art collection at the MAC, a nonprofit gallery that showcases everything from religious banners to contemporary works from local artists. They even have their own in-house theater group, Kitchen Dog Theater. Bonus: Admission is always free, in […]
The soundtrack at this subterranean bar at the Joule Hotel in downtown Dallas is as well crafted as the neo-classic cocktails and art-deco interior. The swanky, dimly lit gem has speakeasy vibes. But the mirrored wall behind the bar holding the shelves of liquor bathed in backlighting lets everyone know the star of the show […]

A French steakhouse overlooking a lake is perhaps not something one expects to find in Plano, but Mignon is just that. It’s possible to imagine you’re somewhere other than a suburban strip mall when dining here — provided you can ignore the view of the Walgreen’s across the street and all the Lexus SUVs parked […]
Barbecue is best done the hard way. Sauces and rubs should be made from scratch. Meats smoked for hours under the watchful eye of a pitmaster. Since 1981, that’s how the eponymous owner has preferred to do ‘cue. Ravenous crowds squeeze into tables and vinyl booths, and on a busy day, they spill out onto […]
