Best Seafood Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"It is always a good time at a Nick Badovinus-owned restaurant, and this might be the hidden gem of his hospitality empire. It’s less well-known than Neighborhood Services, less flashy than Town Hearth or Brass Ram. One can’t go wrong with Montlake Cut’s crudo or ceviche, and the entrees menu reads as much like a steakhouse as a seafood restaurant. The pièce de résistance has to be the Nick-Coise salad, named after Badovinus, which pairs well with almost any pick from Montlake’s most impressive wine list. As is the case in all his restaurants, the vibes are immaculate. This one leans into Pacific Northwest seaside decor, matching the menu." - Courtney E. Smith
