Great for all meals, especially dinner and brunch. MUST GET their peach bellini, but be careful, they are strong. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Call ahead to get reservations, can be busy!

In our opinion, best tacos in Dallas, even though trendy pl. will say Velvet Taco (good but their sides are better than their tacos). Taco Joint has one of the best quesos in town along with a great frozen margarita, which is a goood size. This is a fast, causal style place. You can sit down or take to-go. Not fancy.

All around great place to eat for all meals. Fantastic food (brunch, lunch, and dinner). There’s not a dress code but think upscale casual (jeans and nice shirt). You have to get their jalapeño cornbread with honey butter and not share. They also have starbursts as their after dinner ‘mints’.
