The centurions guarding the Jean-Georges empire have finally let us behind the gleaming glass doors ...
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.

Damn. Another summer totally wasted. Although you didn’t backpack across Europe, you did manage to ...
Small steak and seafood chain that channels a retro supper club (dark wood, schmancy drapes, snazzy cocktails) in the heart of Uptown. The Prime Hour (4-6 p.m.) menu dishes cheap bites like $5 truffled deviled eggs.
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.
Chips: What’s with all the fancy fusion in this town? One more chef’s pomegranate glaze ...
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.
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.
Like the New York original, Craft Dallas serves up hearty favorites like braised short ribs with gnocchi and hen of the woods mushrooms, but there are also dishes with regional touches (blackberry crisp ricotta cheesecake, mmm). The Texas address also shines through the decor (we’re talking pony hair-covered walls). And be prepared to roll family style.
