And if you’re seeking out some beloved Dallas and Fort Worth spots that are now bookable on Resy, we’ve got you covered here.
Le PasSage Dallas
Newly added!
Save this one for date night. A high-style (but enticingly comfortable) restaurant from the team behind Knox Bistro, Le PasSage is a showcase of Southeast Asian flavors with the classical French techniques chef Bruno Davaillon grew up with.
HG Sply Co. – Alliance Center Fort Worth
Newly added!
Healthy and delicious eating is the name of the game here, where vegan, paleo, and other diets are easily accommodated. Set inside a cool, two-level industrial space, HG Sply Co. is a proven formula (this location’s one of four in the Metroplex) that puts its locally-sourced ingredients front and center.
Ven Aqui Cocina Bishop Arts District
Newly added!
Set within a vibrant, high-design space, this Bishop Arts District features a wide-ranging menu of Latin American dishes, but not just. Think specialties like lollipop lamb chops with rosemary, as well as a repertoire of bright cocktails (there are red chiles in the ice cubes). You’re guaranteed to have fun here — even more so on salsa nights.
Chefika Preston Hollow Village
Floor-to-ceiling windows and hanging basket lights flood brightness into this lovely Preston Hollow Mediterranean mecca, where you’ll find classic Turkish fare, from hummus and muhammara to pide and kebabs — plus an array of Mediterranean-inspired pastries from the in-house cake shop.
ilusión Downtown Mansfield
This upscale Mansfield restaurant and cocktail lounge draws inspiration from the stylish side of Mexico City with its red banquettes, dazzling chandeliers, and dreamy covered patio. Throw in a list of beguiling cocktails — many of them agave-based — and a focused menu of impeccable Mexican fare from chorizo refried beans to chicken flautas, and you’ve got yourself a winner.
Even Coast Addison
You’ll want to add this high-end Workshop destination to your must-visit list. The noted Dallas restaurant team of Alec Marshi and chef Omar Flores (Whistle Britches, Muchacho) go upscale here with colorful décor, top-quality steaks and seafood, an inviting raw bar counter, and cocktails so innovative and delicious, they’re almost worth the trip themselves.
Kyo Sushi and Omakase Old East Dallas
Anise, the chic Mediterranean-themed wine bar at the Drey Hotel, has turned eastward to host an unforgettable sushi and omakase pop-up by Kyo Sushi that you’ll want to share with someone special. 10- and 15-course feasts are offered, with add-ons including uni and toro.
Hillside Social Cedar Hill
What kind of food would you expect in an offbeat-luxurious Cedar Hill dining room featuring red velvet booths, optical-illusion terrazzo flooring, and a wall bursting with roses? What else but full-on, Creole-accented Southern fare, from sweet potato cornbread to spiced Gulf redfish to old-fashioned peach cobbler — all of it as rich and right as the surroundings?
Sportsbook Bishop Arts
Why? Because the high-def screens beam every major sports event you can imagine; because the cocktails are great and the mocktails might be even better (try the Andy Murray); because the kitchen turns out everything from nachos to wings to burgers; and because the crowd is having as much fun as you are.
AG Sushi Grill Turtle Creek
There’s a whole new take on sushi at this gorgeous Oak Lawn delight, courtesy of Gabriel Reyes (Sushi Marquee, Bistro 31) and Alejandra Murillo (El Atoron). The seafood is so fresh it sparkles, and Japanese traditions are given an occasional Mexican twist, like seared shrimp with honey-guajillo sauce or the signature frozen-margarita-and-sake colada.
Goodwin’s Lower Greenville
You’ll know you’re in the right place when you slide into a posh leather booth or perch on a café chair at this comfortable neighborhood treasure. Goodwin’s comes from local restaurant veterans Austin Rogers and chef Jeff Bekavac after all, so choose something delicious from the creative American menu (the Red Bird chicken is a specialty), with a world-class cocktail on the side.
James Provisions Hurst
New York‘s loss is the Metroplex’s gain. Deborah Williamson closed her popular James in Brooklyn after 15 years to open this successor in Hurst, next door to her hometown of North Richland Hills. As at the original, the fare is fresh and healthy, with plenty of superfoods involved — but there’s also an impeccable burger, some tacos, and a steak with crushed potatoes.
Amelia Uptown
Here’s an Uptown must-visit from the group behind Songaa Coffee — a sleek dining room serving American fare with a Cajun accent for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner (sample dish: Amelia’s Surf & Turf, combining pineapple-glazed lamb chops with pan-seared jumbo shrimp), with a softly lit upscale cocktail lounge on the second floor.
Goldie’s Lake Highlands
You won’t go wrong at this intimate Lake Highlands neighborhood gem from Brandon Hays (Sfuzzi, High Fives) and Brittni Clayton (former GM at Sister). The menu is full of the things you crave (a perfect wedge, bone marrow bruschetta, a home-style porkchop), the room is fun, the patio is irresistible, and the service is a point of pride.
MĀBO Dallas
When Teppo, the super-hot Greenville Avenue sushi star, closed down in 2022 after a 27-year run, fans of chef-owner Masa Otaka mourned — but happily he has bounced back with this high-design jewel at Preston Center, where the specialty is yakitori, done with Otaka’s familiar flair.
Little Daisy Downtown
You’ll want to try all three meals (four, counting brunch) at this jazzy café, bar, and restaurant on the ninth floor of the Thompson Hotel, where chef Jeramie Robison (most recently at City Hall Bistro in the Adolphus) serves up everything from avocado tartine with herbes de Provence to Snake River Wagyu steak frites, with panache and a distinct Louisiana accent.
Wicked Butcher – Dallas Downtown
The Dallas extension of this popular Fort Worth steakhouse boasts a stunning interior (that chandelier!) that’s unmistakably Texan, but without the cowpoke clichés. Plus, the menu’s a carnivore’s dream, full of meaty appetizers — braised tenderloin hummus, anyone? — eight cuts of steak, and all the accoutrements (and yes, there’s plenty of seafood, too.)
UnaVida Uptown Dallas
How could a noted local chef like Matt McCallister (ex-Homewood) build on a hit like his 2023 pop-up Mexican Test Kitchen? With this all-stops-out modern Mexican restaurant, creating a buzz with its stacked enchiladas, smothered burritos, reimagined margaritas, and fiesta-time atmosphere.
Farena at Loews Arlington Hotel Arlington
Between the Pasta Lab you’ll pass as you enter and the twin wood-fired 900-degree stone pizza ovens that command the sleek but warmly furnished dining room, you know this will be a haven for lovers of Italian food. Pro tip: In good weather, enjoy the same dishes on the breezy and covered veranda, overlooking the resort pool.
Tomar El Sol Cabanas at Loews Arlington Hotel Arlington
The name of this seasonal poolside gem might be loosely translated as “to bask in the sun,” and that’s one possibility here while you sip a frozen margarita or a goblet of dry rosé. But there’s a glass-walled indoor setting, too, where the burgers and tacos and other classic lunchtime fare will keep you going for the whole long lazy day.
