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.

The Mansion Restaurant Dallas
The Mansion is a Dallas icon, and dining there is like sharing a meal with a grande dame. The menu changes with the seasons, but tortilla soup is a year-round staple. The clubby bar is a treat of its own, with wine chats, live music on weekends, and the unshakable feeling that you might meet some rich someone who could sweep you off your feet (and take you upstairs to one of the fancy-pants rooms).

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.

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.
