Best Tasting Menus in Dallas-Fort Worth | Eater Dallas

"Rye was already known for having a boundary-pushing menu that utilized unusual ingredients. Its tasting menu, launched in fall 2024, hits those same notes. It starts with dessert (kangaroo tartare, crab & caviar cannoli, and blue cheesecake), goes into a dish it calls an “edible napkin” (those are riblets), and gets kookier from there. The zaniness of the naming conventions or order of the courses, however, should not be taken as a sign that the kitchen is anything less than serious about quality. If anything, that’s just the creativity of chef Taylor Rause and his team coming out in unexpected ways. The 11-course version of this tasting is $185 per person, while the 8-course option is $125. In the dining room, the place is a little bit industrial, with wood furniture and black iron fixtures, and softened by ever-present plantlife. There is also a patio, and although it may seem like no one is ever eating on it, guests are welcome to if they choose." - Courtney E. Smith
