Seasonal tasting menu and local purveyors in historic hotel
"Local is an old-school tasting menu spot in Deep Ellum by chef Tracy Miller. The nine-course service is $150 per person and comes with a wine pairing for an additional fee. Recent dishes on the menu include tiny spring lettuce hearts with baby onion rings, and crisp pancetta with blue cheese vinaigrette, and Syrah braised short ribs with stone-ground grits. The restaurant is inside the Boyd Hotel, a historic landmark thought to be the oldest standing hotel in Dallas, dating back to 1908. That means the building has some quirks, some of which (like the ailing flooring in the entryway) are visible. But it also means there’s a lot of cool ambiance from all the visitors from the past." - Courtney E. Smith
"Not only can a great date be planned in Deep Ellum, but it can involve eating excellent fried chicken. This long-running restaurant is in a historic former hotel and is a great option for a date who likes things to be real. Plus, the layout of the room allows for a lot of tucked away booths with low lighting that will set the mood." - Courtney E. Smith
"This stalwart of Deep Ellum dining has been going strong for well over a decade. It’s a different experience than most restaurants in the neighborhood because it’s located in a historic hotel. Go for the excellent fried chicken or the chef’s tasting menu, both of which are what this place is best known for." - Eater Staff
"It requires some effort to track down this upscale Deep Ellum gem, but the payoff is worth it. Located in the historic Boyd Hotel, patrons dine from a seasonally driven menu that sources wines, cheeses, meats, and more from local purveyors. Splurge and order the Chef’s Tasting Menu for a full-scale culinary experience." - Lauren Coe
