Top 10 Most
Romantic Restaurants in Dallas
1.
Watels
Frequent wine diners make this an ideal place to take
in one of these special occasions. If not I love to
take my lunch dates here, it secluded, romantic and
always good. First of all save room for there creme
brulee and chocolate pate. Being a steak fan the grilled
filet is outstanding as have been the lamb and tuna.
There are nearly 2 dozen items on the menus making this
a spot for taking a large group with a variety of tastes.
Great affordable wine list make this a regular spot
for those fans of the French.
2. Nana Grill
They have just gone through a major renovation which
should update the decor to match their near 5-star cuisine.
My favorite meal is the Sunday brunch which might be
the most extensive, upscale brunch in the city. When
ordering off the menu this new American has a great
free range chicken and pepper-seared ahi tuna. The Porterhouse
is a masterpiece, and is enough for take-home late night
snack. Atop the Anatole Hotel this expensive spot makes
the perfect romantic restaurant.
3. The Grape
The most romantic restaurant in Dallas, I should know
I asked my x-wife to marry me here. Not enough can be
said about this restaurant other than exceptional food
and extensive selection of wines. Daily specials on
chalk board. Not hungry stop by their quaint wine bar
for one of Dallas' best selections.
4.
Mignon
Tops this year for one the best new patio restaurants
for its breathtaking view and location but also a star
thanks to its fail safe menu. Perfection came in the
form of a half-dozen oysters, served on a bed of hot
rock salt after a turn in the oven, were intensely juicy
and succulent. Heated just enough to take off the chill
but so delicately that the edges didn't even curl. Add
to that the steak tartare prepared tableside by a waiter
and the steaks that range from a small (8-ounce) filet
mignon ($21) to an 18-ounce bone-in shell steak (New
York strip) for $25. But the deal is the signature steak
frites ($16), a sirloin cut similar to London broil;
sliced to expose the lovely red interior. A slice of
heaven can found in Plano!
5.
St Martin's
The most classy restaurant on Greenville, it is located
in one of the few quite spots on the strip. Wonderful
selection of wine and deserts to create the perfect
romantic evening with French dining. Great wine list
and don't forget their exceptional desserts. Try the
Chateaubriand with hollandaise.
6. Abacus
This is the most beautiful restaurant in Dallas and
the global cuisine fancies any tastebud. Don't miss
the Chef tasting menu where you sample 9 dishes. Remember
the steaks, as well as, RSVP, starved I have even made
a meal out of appetizers at the side bar tables. Each
plate is prepared as if it were a work of art.. Best
restaurant Dallas has to offer. Just got thier fifth
star locally...I called it from day one.
7. Lavendou
Chef Jean-Marie and Pascal create a restaurant featuring
authentic regional dishes from throughout France. Start
with their classic French onion soup topped with Gruyere
cheese and toasted to perfection. Add to that the flame
kisses duck or chicken and all that you have to worry
about is picking the perfect desert. Is it one of their
award winning soufflés? Or a seasonal fruit tart?
My choice was to order one for now and one to go. Pleasant
old world deco makes
it a perfect spot to dine for the romantic at heart
8. Cafe Madrid
You can spend hours drinking the house wine and ordering
a little here and there. The highlights of the 15 items
that we ordered were Cordero Asado, Esparragos, Gambas,
Pincho, Cordorniz. It is a must that you get the bread
and cheese plates. Did I mention this place is full
of great looking singles? Dinner, which started for
1 and ended up for 5 by the time I was done ended up
costing about $90 with plenty of wine and fun for all.
9.
Old Warsaw
A Dallas staple since 1948, its clientele boasts the
who’s who of Dallas and for that matter, all over
the world. Repeat clientele have ranged from the legendary
Bob Hope to hip hop mogul Sean “P.Diddy”
Combs, and from athletes to dignitaries. The dim, lavish
décor, tuxedoed waiters, a classic violinist
roving from table to table and its renowned gourmet
menu recalls extravagance in a timeless European manner.
The Old Warsaw French continental selection includes
classics such as Chateaubriand, escargots veille varsovie,
and souffles that no one can top, and for good reason.
Seafood selection and execution is near perfection with
assortments such as the sauteed sea bass on wild rice
and the dover sole with lemon butter. Topped off with
an award winning wine list, this Dallas legend is sure
to be around for another 50 years.
10.
Ziziki
Greek and Mediterranean bistro located in fashionable
Knox-Travis Walk area. Beautifully built with a cherry
wood bar and exhibition kitchen and European style garden
patio complete with a water fountain. Specialties include
the shrimp souvlaki, heavenly marinated prawns with
a hint of basil and feta. Also, the Greek paella, a
belly busting portion of lamb, jumbo shrimp, chicken
on pasta. A complete dining experience.
