  • Drake's Hollywood

    American Restaurant

    Drake's is a fun Hollywood themed restaurant and bar that won't disappoint! The wait is long, and often there's a multi-week waiting list for reservations. Beware, at 10pm (certain nights) the DJ shows up and turns out! A super fun and lively spot where the food is top notch and the atmosphere is even better.

  • The Henry

    European Restaurant

    The Henry is another DFW fav where amazing food, great service and elegant atmosphere all converge to deliver best-in-class experiences. The most delightful thing on the menu?? The short-rib pot stickers. You can't eat just one, or two,...well, let's just say they are out of this world. We've had most menu items and nothing will disappoint.

  • Neighborhood Services

    American Restaurant

    Top notch American cuisine with an amazing array of flavor and food choices. Cocktails are spot on, oh, and the french fries,...oh the french fries. :) Overall one of the best food experiences in DFW.

  • Bob's Steak and Chop House

    Steakhouse

    The best filet mignon I've ever had (not to mention they sell a 16 oz version)! One of the most classic steak/chophouses in Dallas. Everything is top notch. A must-try.

  • Ospi

    Italian Restaurant

    Although Ospi is a newer establishment it feels as though they've been there for years. true Italian experience and top quality ingredients. Service was on par and we absolutely loved it!

  • Mexican Sugar

    Latin American Restaurant

    Not what you'd expect when it comes to Mexican fair,...but a whole lot more. The food is elevated to another level level,...and the drinks are top shelf! Get the frozen sangria. A must try!

  • Town Hearth

    Steakhouse

    Not sure what I like more, the cool interior design (complete with race car, vintage motorcycle and submarine), or the food. Ok, that's not fair, I like the food the most. You won't get out of Town Hearth on a budget but you will leave with dancing taste buds. Go get you some TH when you're in town!

  • Taverna

    Restaurant

    Higher-end dining feel with a menu carefully curated to transport you directly to Italy. When you finish the amazing tour through your apps and primi piatti (first plate), then on to your favorite pasta "secondi" plate, you MUST finish with the tiramisu. Great service and worth your time and money.
