The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Looking for a little bit of the Northeast in Dallas? This spot is ideal for a drop-in meal of excellent East and Gulf Coast oysters and raw bar selections, sophisticated drinks, and shareable plates. Dinner might start with a smoked whitefish dip or caper-pocked beef tartare, before progressing to bigger plates like whole grilled branzino, blackened Texas redfish, or even a chilled lobster roll. The little fried fish sandwiches, which come in a serving of three, are an unexpected delight; the king crab and artichoke dip equally pleases. Those less into seafood can go for the double cheeseburger or buttery chicken piccata. The service is high-level everywhere, and especially at the massive horseshoe-shaped bar, so pull up a stool if dining solo or ask for a roomy booth if in a group. Know before you go: For splurgy moments, the restaurant has Kaluga ($90) and Osetra ($125) caviar service with potato chips." - Courtney E. Smith
