"This seafood-focused restaurant is well equipped for groups, offering luxuriously large booths and an environment tailored to seafood lovers who want to make Mother's Day a communal, roomy affair." - Courtney E. Smith
"A neighborhood seafood-and-oyster bar recommended for cocktails and small bites — a casual, seafood-focused stop for drinks and light plates." - Courtney E. Smith
"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
"A seafood-forward brunch can look like a luscious lobster roll, a plate of shrimp and grits, or an order of fish tacos — and should certainly include a dozen oysters. Get all of that and more at Green Point, in one of the city’s most comforting and stylish bistros. This is a see-and-be-seen spot, so don’t come in your pajama pants. Knox-Henderson is busy, busy, busy on weekends, so we recommend parking in the underground lot at Weir’s Furniture. It’s free and less painful than the above ground lot across the street." - Courtney E. Smith
"Some dates call for quiet corners. Green Point doesn't have any of those, with a high-energy hum perfect for knocking back drinks and laughing a little too hard at your own jokes. Take the edge off any date-induced jitters with the savory Green Point Martini. It’s made with vodka and vermouth that’s been infused with oyster brine, herbs, and lemon zest, and it pairs perfectly with the seafood tower’s chilled oysters, jumbo shrimp, and crab claws. You could stop there, but we’ve yet to meet a situation that beer battered fish and chips can’t improve." - kevin gray
