This place is called what it’s called for a reason. Few things can kill a drunken craving and sop up exorbitant amounts of alcohol as well as a notoriously monstrous Serious Pizza slice. Open until 3 a.m. on the weekends, the lively after-hours atmosphere, HD televisions and interesting people-watching are exactly the stimulation needed for […]

George Haber and family’s American-Mediterranean small-plate eatery has the shell of a Greek taverna, the interior of a rustic café-sword-adorned stucco walls included-and the name of an Armenian lake. Selections of the eclectic tapas (kabobs, lamb, falafel, a BLT) can be had inside or on the patio with hummus, taking advantage of the BYOB policy. […]
One of the oldest restaurants on the Top 100 – Sevy’s Grill opened in 1997 – is also one of the most old-fashioned. Here, Preston Hollow society types enjoy power lunches and, at dinnertime, spring for shrimp cakes, pork chops and salmon fillets cooked in Tabasco butter. It’s the 1990s ideal of a fine-dining restaurant, […]
A Dallas favorite is back, and this time, hopefully for good. Sfuzzi, now open in Knox Henderson, has returned for its fourth iteration. The buzzy Italian restaurant was an uptown staple in Dallas in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and a favorite among Dallas tourists. Having first opened in 1987, Sfuzzi was both a place for […]

The vibe at Shady’s is relaxed and casual. Ample seating. There’s a bar and a nice patio; most of the patio is well-covered and is a virtual extension of the indoor dining area. But there is a small, actual outdoor space which, when we visited, solo guitarist played a breezy, laid-back setlist. We caught the […]
In a city loaded with burgers, Shake Shack makes a pretty darn good one. The patties are thin, but manage to combine both a nicely seared exterior and a pink medium-rare center. Neat trick, that. Also neat: the crispy, black-edged bacon on the Smokeshack and the tangy Shack Sauce. The Chicken Shackhas an outstandingly flaky, […]

Shawarma House’s knack for perfection and in-house preparation helps it stand out in a crowded market. Their fusion Tex-Mex shawarma is terrific. The wrapping – which resembles a burrito-sized tortilla, crisp like it’s been gently fried – is sinfully good, and the sandwich filling has gentle spice. The seasoning on the chicken comes through, and […]
There are plenty of Ethiopian restaurants to choose from near the corner of Greenville Avenue and Forest Lane, but you’d do well to choose Sheba’s Ethiopian Kitchen. Now well-established, it still shines like a brand-new restaurant. The cooking stands out too, with strong flavors, quality ingredients and injera with a seriously sour bite. Start with […]

If the name didn’t clue you in to this bar and grill’s all-things-British theme, you’ll figure out the second you open the door and see the full-size red telephone booth and the walls, which are bedecked with rugby and cricket memorabilia mixed in with the typical pub design. Because Sherlock’s boasts far more easily re-arranged […]
Restaurant and pub chain offers nothing extraordinary this side of Chili’s. If you’re looking for happening live music, skip this place. But if you find yourself here for some reason, take advantage of the daily drink specials. A few cheap drinks can make even a generic cover band tolerable.
Shinsei has been providing pan-Asian flavors to the Lovers Lane set for over a decade, under the ownership of Lynae Fearing, former wife of Dean Fearing, and Tracy Rathbun, who is married to star local chef Kent Rathbun. Executive chef Carlos Capistran oversees a sushi-centric menu with the help of sushi chef Shuji Sugawara. But […]
Shipley’s glazed doughnuts are doughy and covered with the perfect thin layer of sugar glaze, making them an authentic alternative to those sugar-heavy air pockets made at other chains. Yes, Shipley is a chain – one of the few good imports from Houston – but the doughnuts are made in-house by people who love sprinkles, […]
