The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"There is a definitive answer to the question of where to find the best selection of raw oysters in Dallas, and that answer is Rex’s. No other oyster bar has the daily range of this place, with multiple options from the East Coast that go way beyond the standard Blue Points or PEI found in most oyster offerings. It also has one of the best martinis in town, and nothing goes together better than oysters and a martini. The rest of the menu is full of hits — namely its seasonal seafood dishes — including a steamer bowl (mussels, clams, crab fingers, and sausage in a hearty soup), red snapper, Chilean sea bass, crab pasta, and more. It’s not dressy here, even though the quality of the seafood makes it a bit pricey. To eat in, head to the Northwest Highway location — the one at the farmers market is more of a fresh fish stand. Must-try dish: For happy hour, Rex’s offers a three-oyster-and-a-martini for $15 deal that is a wonderful way to try raw oyster varieties you haven’t had before." - Courtney E. Smith
