Nick and Sam's Grill Dallas

Cheaper version of big sis Nick & Sam’s. The grilled cheese is good (so is the people-watching). A wide range of wines will make thriftsters to vino snobs happy.

Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck Dallas

Fifty stories up, high above the downtown office buildings, sits Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck, the famed chef’s first Dallas restaurant. As if the floor-to-ceiling windows and rotating, 360-degree view weren’t drama enough, the food is equally breathtaking. Start with pork belly dumplings; move on to seafood curry or crispy quail. We like fresh-from-the-oven cookies for dessert.

Sala Tex Mex Dallas

Affordable Tex-Mex joint with happy hour deals every weekday from 3 to 7 p.m. The food is simple but good. Surprisingly, there are tons of specialty cocktails including the raindrop with sparkling wine, ginger, and lychee. Don’t miss the frozen blood orange margarita.

Bolsa Dallas

The kitchen here is so focused on being fresh, there is no freezer or fryer. And the pizza oven? It holds just four pies. Dishes are simply prepared with local ingredients for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, like cured ham with fig preserves and arugula salad with goat cheese and roasted grapes. There’s a market inside with local produce, cheeses, jams, and honey.

Dragonfly Dallas

Swanky hotel resto with a tendency to draw an edgy (read: rowdy) crowd. The crispy calamari salad is delish, and the revolving brunch menu never disappoints. There’s also a goth-meets-Victorian back room for large, private parties.

La Cubanita Dallas

The setting is reminiscent of Old Havana — complete with a faux-worn facade, antique furniture, and a handsome mahogany bar (which houses an impressive collection of premium rums) perfect for crafting a refreshing mojito. The semiopen kitchen turns out tropical fare, ranging from the expected pressed Cuban sandwich and yucca fries to Caribbean-kissed grilled shrimp and papaya salad.

Fearing's Dallas

Fearing’s is just what you might expect from a resto inside the tony Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. It’s swank — and it’s over-the-top Texas to the bone. Beloved chef Dean Fearing turns out Southwestern delights like barbecue shrimp tacos, apple-smoked bacon-jalapeno chicken, and scallops with tangerine essence. The Rattlesnake Bar is packed with pretty women and the fat wallets who love them.

Taverna Pizzeria and Risotteria Dallas

Wood-fire pizzas, antipasti, and creative pastas are all on offer, but what this charming bistro’s really known for is its risotto. Get it with saffron and seafood; asparagus, prosciutto, and Parmesan; or chicken with balsamic vinegar. It’s rice done right.
