Stillwell’s Harwood District
Newly added!
Carnivores will definitely want a table at this opulent steakhouse in the Hôtel Swexan, where the apps include roasted bone marrow and there are no less than 15 different steaks on offer (and there’s plenty for seafood-lovers, too). The marquee offering: the premium beef from local Akaushi cattle, raised exclusively for the hotel’s hospitality group.
St. Martin’s Old East Dallas
Newly added!
There’s no telling how many romances were kindled at the original St. Martin’s on Greenville Avenue that’s now closed, with its seductive lighting, live piano music, and first-rate French food (and wine). But the old magic — including the very same piano — is still going strong at this updated version in Old East Dallas, as enchanting and romantic as ever.
Shodo Japanese Kitchen Dallas Design District
Newly added!
Remember this one for date night: a dining room full of modern and traditional Japanese art where an extensive sushi menu and main dishes like miso black cod and duck with plum sauce take center stage — plus a ten-course omakase experience offering the best of the house.
Miami Vibes Plano
Newly added!
Johnny and Valerie Staton (from Daiq Shack in Jacksonville, FL) are indeed bringing Miami vibes to Plano. Think a neon and palm-tree-accented restaurant and bar, featuring a Caribbean-leaning menu, a club-style soundtrack, and signature cocktails — frozen and otherwise — so fresh they’ll make you smell the sea breeze.
Pearl Sushi Knox District
Newly added!
Because this is where former Nobu chef Shine Tamaoki crafts elegantly simple sushi, but also imaginative dishes you aren’t likely to find anywhere else — look no further than his “Japanese fish & chips,” or seasonal fish in a curry tempura batter with earthy burdock crisps.
Culpepper Cattle Co – Dallas Dallas - Deep Ellum
Newly added!
This iconic antiques and bric-a-brac-filled institution in Addison almost closed last year after 40 years, but a group of local fans stepped in to save it and have kept it as vibrant as ever. Expect live music three nights a week and menu of Tex-Mex classics, serious steaks, and signature home-style Texas dishes, like chicken-fried lobster.
Musume Dallas Hall Arts
Prepare to be enthralled when you step into this gorgeous Hall Arts District establishment from the same team behind ChopShop and Boozy Bird, then settle in and wend your way through the long and enticing, mostly Japanese menu, offering everything from sushi to tempura to umami filet mignon — or indulge in a best-of-everything omakase experience.
Bacari Tabu Highland Park
You’ll feel like you’ve been invited to a high-energy, beautiful-people party when you step through the thick velvet curtains into this vintage cocktail and Venetian cicchetti emporium, opened by popular Dallas chef-restaurateur Julian Barsotti (Nonna, Barsotti’s) on the site of the long-vanished jazz-and-pizza bar Strictly Tabu.
Yellow Rosa Cocktaileria Deep Ellum
Pay attention or you’ll miss the weathered wooden door that opens into the indoor patio-like dining room at this “cocktaileria” speakeasy where the drinks focus on agave, the Mexican fare includes the most extravagantly crafted nachos you’ve ever seen, and brunch is served with a live mariachi soundtrack.
Paris 7th Restaurant Fort Worth
You can’t dine in Paris all the time — but if you’re lucky, you might find your way to this elegant Fort Worth alternative, where the menu offers every Gallic classic you could think of, from escargots to steak frites to Grand Marnier soufflé, and the wine list would make any oenophile glow.
The Woolworth Downtown Dallas
The historic F. W. Woolworth building has come a long way from its five-and-dime days to become an old-school-looking instant classic with impeccable craft cocktails and a menu offering everything from poke to tacos to Texas Wagyu steaks — and the terrace at nighttime is a dream.
Tei-An Dallas Downtown Historic District
Teiichi Sakurai once earned acclaim for his sushi restaurants, Tei Tei and Teppo, but the plaudits really started pouring in when he broadened his approach at Tei-An, supplementing his always-excellent sushi with grilled seafood and Japanese Wagyu, exquisite soba dishes, and more.
Darna Eatery Plano
The foods of Italy, Spain, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, and other lands that touch the Mediterranean come to Plano with this bright and lively restaurant, coffee bar, and specialty market from Yaser Khalaf (of Mondo Pizza and Baboush) — and you’ll definitely want a front-and-center seat to it all.
Tower Club Dallas Downtown Dallas
You’ll feel like the ultimate insider settling in at this elegant contemporary steakhouse — part of the exclusive Tower Club on the 48th floor of Santander Tower — where Texas quail, Texas antelope, and Texas Wagyu are featured, and the city views will take your breath away.
Cork & Pig Tavern (Irving/Las Colinas) Irving
You’ll feel at home the minute you step into this low-key but lively Las Colinas outpost of the Cork & Pig mini-chain, where the solid comfort-food menu ranges from crispy calamari to blackened rib-eye, and the wines are deftly chosen but won’t break the bank.
Knox Bistro Knox / Henderson
The former Up on Knox, stylishly reborn as Knox Bistro, is more French than ever, giving the neighborhood a Gallic flair with its almost-like-Paris dining room and a menu featuring all the essentials, from soupe à l’oignon to canard à l’orange.
Alamo Club Lower Greenville
Restaurateur Austin Rodgers (of Town Hearth and Nick & Sam’s) and chef Michael West (of R Bar & Grill) joined up to open this winner in Lower Greenville — a lively, all-purpose spot with a brick-and-wood dining room and plenty of Texas-friendly comfort food (yes, there’s queso).
Fachini Highland Park
Italian food maestro Julian Barsotti (of Nonna, Carbone’s, etc.) scores again with this Highland Park Village standout. The dining room pays tribute to old-style upscale Italian-American restaurants and the menu offers everything from Texas Wagyu carpaccio to a signature “100 layer lasagna alla Sunday.”
