Getting out of town for a night with the wife to Dallas. Need a dinner recommendation that can be made within a couple days notice. Fire away!

TIA

What part of town will y'all be staying … probably don't want to drive too far to dinner.

Del Friscos is always a good spot. Their VIP signature cocktail is great.

Monarch downtown is great Italian, may be tough to get in last minute.

Bobs steak and chophouse is another good option and you can usually get in for a party if two.

I'd go Bob's if you haven't been and both of you like a great steakhouse.

Definitely try monarch but getting in may be an issue short notice

This and it's not even close. Go to the one in Highland park. Get you a nice bottle of wine and just watch. The foods pretty good. Can't go wrong with the steaks and stuff but my fave is the Chilean sea bass.

Town Hearth isn't so bad either. But Al Biernats is *chefs kiss*

Ugh, I'm up against it. They didn't have any good seating times at Al Biernat's or Town Hearth. On wait lists right now, but still looking.

Any thoughts on Chamberlain's or Billy Can Can?

I would pass on both

Chamberlains is great and not insanly prices. Maybe try Knife, that can get pretty pricey though and you may only get counter seating there though.

Pappas could be an option. This for tonight?

For Saturday. I've actually been to Knife before, so I'll pass on that -- looking for something new.

Also, Bob's looks nice but I see it's a chain. Should I just not care?

Bob's has been hit or miss, I think the owner left then came back so it may be better now.

Look at Mercury also, it's fantastic.

Not the one on Lemmon. Way better than the others.

The others bought the name is my understanding when owner left. But he's back now.

National Anthem is also good, same owner/chef as town hearth. His Neighborhood Services on Lemmon is really good.

Al Biernat's on Oaklawn has tables open from 6:00-9:00 every 30 minutes on both Friday and Saturday...and so does the one in North Dallas, it just has less people watching.

Finally found a reasonable time at Al Biernat's on Oaklawn. Appreciate the help everyone. Looking forward to it.

Very nice. I'm eating at the other location tomorrow.

I've never had something bad there.

Get there early and have a drink in the bar. It's pretty wild scene… the valet at that restaurant is insane. Super cars everywhere. 65yr old guys with super models.

Epitome of "Dallas"

Agreed. The Chilean Sea Bass is the BEST! Was there early July and watching the older, rich crowd was worth the price of the meal. Rolls Royce pulls in and the valet staff swarmed the car to help the regulars get out.
It was a great evening celebrating my son's 24th bday!
