Every month, it analyzes over half a million new dinner reviews and sorts the results by location to help us discover new and old favorite restaurants.\u00a0But keep in mind, this is only for restaurants on the platform, leaving off literally hundreds of good spots in Dallas. <\/p>\n<p>Either way, we review this list regularly, and the same roster of restaurants is on a constant rotation in Dallas. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sixtyvinesuptown\/\">Sixty Vines<\/a> makes the list every spring and fall, but the rest of them guard their places on this list as if their livelihood depended on it (probably because it does).<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/best-of-dallas\/2024\/food-and-drink\/best-steakhouse-20600369\/\">Al Biernat\u2019s<\/a> and Nick &amp; Sam\u2019s continue to be the most loved steakhouses in Dallas. With its view of the city, it\u2019s no wonder people book Crown Block.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWill you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"fundraising-thermometer-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the Dallas Observer, we\u2019re small and scrappy \u2014 and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we\u2019re $14,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you\u2019ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of the Dallas Observer, now\u2019s the time to give back.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/evelyndallastx\/?hl=en\">EVELYN<\/a>, a new restaurant in the Design District, has sustained a spot on this list for months now. We\u2019re used to new restaurants riding a grand opening high, then fizzling out, but it seems EVELYN is taking up residence on this list.<\/p>\n<p>The Restoration Hardware rooftop has haunted us all year as it has maintained its ranking. You could throw a dart on a map of Dallas and land on a spot better than this atrocity that sells truffle fries for $20.<\/p>\n<p>A reservation at RH Rooftop is for people who don\u2019t know where to dine. Need ideas? Our guide to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/food-drink\/best-restaurants-in-dallas-texas-40622507\/\">50 Best Restaurants in Dallas<\/a> is the ideal starting point.<\/p>\n<p>But according to the booking site OpenTable, where is where Dallas is dining: <\/p>\n<p><strong>Il Bracco<br \/><\/strong>8416 Preston Center Plaza\u00a0<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ilbraccorestaurant.com\/\">Il Bracco<\/a> is a consistent contender for OpenTable reservations. It serves modern takes on classic Italian dishes, such as the whole-leaf Caesar salad, cacio e pepe with in-house-made pasta and tiramisu. It opened in the Park Cities in May 2019 and has brought diners in by the droves ever since. Did you know it serves its popular Bracco, a frozen cocktail made with Grey Goose, Aperol, New Amsterdam and fresh grapefruit, by the half-gallon? It also sells full sheets of tiramisu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hudson House<br \/><\/strong>4448 Lovers Lane<br \/>Hudson House has apparently been so good that it booted Sixty Vines off this round-up to make room for a second location on this list. So now both the Lovers Lane and Lakewood Hudson House locations are the most booked in Dallas. It\u2019s more likely due to its burgers, but there are plenty of other <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/food-drink\/best-burgers-in-dallas-texas-14024992\/\">great burgers in Dallas<\/a>. No reservation required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perry\u2019s Steakhouse &amp; Grille<br \/><\/strong>2100 Olive St.\u00a0<br \/>Perry\u2019s Steakhouse &amp; Grille has all the right ingredients to be one of the most booked restaurants in Dallas: an award-winning menu, Texas roots and an intimate view of downtown Dallas. Perry\u2019s started as a butcher shop in Houston in 1979, and by 1986, tables and chairs were added to the shop. Next thing the family knows, they\u2019re opening the first Perry\u2019s Steakhouse in 1993. It\u2019s known for its <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/restaurants\/pork-chop-friday-at-perrys-in-dallas-17609438\">Pork Chop Friday<\/a>, attentive service and upscale two-story atmosphere. Its website showcases many of the running specials, including off-menu items like the award-winning white bean pork chili.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crown Block<br \/><\/strong>300 Reunion Blvd.\u00a0<br \/>Whether we like it or not, we all look up to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/best-of-dallas\/2023\/food-and-drink\/best-restaurant-for-a-special-occasion-17520627\">Crown Block<\/a>. No, literally. This restaurant\u2019s dining room has one of the best views of the Dallas skyline, so we\u2019d hope the city wouldn\u2019t take it for granted. Whether people make reservations out of necessity or as an insurance policy for the evening view is up to them, but it\u2019s easy to see why this would be at the top of anyone\u2019s short list. The menu is a bit of a catch-all, featuring steak, seafood and sushi. It also offers an all-you-can-eat brunch on weekends, which may just be the best value at the top of their elevator.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/piano_room_3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40014579\"  \/>The Piano Room at Evelyn promises an intimate and exclusive dining experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EVELYN<\/strong><br \/>1201 Turtle Creek Blvd.\u00a0<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/restaurants\/new-dallas-steakhouse-evelyn-brings-old-hollywood-indulgence-21956631\">EVELYN opened in the Design District <\/a>this past spring, and clearly, it\u2019s still riding on that grand opening high. This Old Hollywood-inspired steakhouse is one of the latest places to be seen, eat and drink in the same building. They have a main dining area where they serve caviar, wagyu appetizers and steak cuts, and plenty of seafood towers. If you venture out of there, try not to get lost. Three other rooms are dedicated to private, intimate or lively apres-dinner affairs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kitchen + Kocktails<br \/><\/strong>1933 Elm St.<br \/>We love Kitchen + Kocktails. It\u2019s one of our <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/restaurants\/best-restaurants-in-dallas-texas-21237887\">top 50 restaurants<\/a>. This downtown spot specializes in serving generous Southern comfort dishes in a stylish and upscale setting. When owner Kevin Kelley returned from Paris, inspiration led him to open his restaurant in a prime location where people could come together and enjoy a menu of his hand-selected favorites. What people in Dallas love most here are the chicken n\u2019 waffles, shrimp and grits and the peach cobbler, but that list easily expands at his four other locations in Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte and D.C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nick &amp; Sam\u2019s<br \/><\/strong>3008 Maple Ave.\u00a0<br \/>It seems that after Luka was traded to the Lakers, fans decided to use all the money they saved on home games to sulk over \u201cThe Luka\u201d on Nick &amp; Sam\u2019s menu. It\u2019s a 77-day dry-aged 77-ounce New York strip served with a mushroom Barolo placed right under their tribute to the previous Mavs legend, Dirk. (Damn, still hurts.) But you don\u2019t need to be a basketball fan to dine here. It\u2019s been an Uptown staple for fine steaks since 1999. A half-page menu is dedicated to various steak cuts, including American Prime and Australian Kobe. While they relish in tradition, they don\u2019t shy away from newcomers, like adding red crab elote to the array of sides. That\u2019s worth saving a seat for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hudson House<br \/><\/strong>4040 Abrams Road\u00a0<br \/>Many Dallasites will rave about the burger and martini combo at Hudson House, and it seems everyone in Lakewood is a true fan of this duo. New York City\u2019s West Village inspired this neighborhood restaurant. It serves American classics with a heavy draw from East Coast menu staples. The raw bar is the menu\u2019s core, with its daily raw oyster special. Everyone loves the cheeseburger here, and they pack a quarter-pound of Atlantic lobster into the lobster roll. Don\u2019t ever skip out on the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/best-of-dallas\/2024\/food-and-drink\/best-mac-and-cheese-20607446\">mac and cheese<\/a>. Also, allegedly, they serve the world\u2019s coldest martini, but that\u2019s for you to decide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al Biernat\u2019s<br \/><\/strong>4217 Oak Lawn Ave.\u00a0<br \/>If you don\u2019t have a reservation at Al Biernat\u2019s, you\u2019re throwing elbows through waves of regulars to try and get a seat. Al\u2019s motto was and will always be \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/restaurants\/best-steak-in-dallas-22781726\">more than a great steakhouse<\/a>,\u201d and it\u2019s easy to see why it has made it to this list. Everyone wants to come here for the food, but they also celebrate graduations, birthdays, engagements and other life-changing events. There are a few worn-in leather seats in Dallas that can wine and dine you with the comfort of being at home, and Al\u2019s eponymous restaurant does just that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RH Rooftop Restaurant<br \/><\/strong>3133 Knox St.\u00a0<br \/>Now, this is definitely a choice one could make. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/restaurants\/dallas-most-overrated-brunch-spots-and-alternatives-to-consider-20597222\">An interesting one.<\/a> This restaurant is on the top floor of Restoration Hardware\u2019s 70,000-square-foot design gallery in the Knox-Henderson neighborhood. They say it blurs the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors and home and hospitality. You can dine year-round in the skylit garden with olive trees, chandeliers and opulent fountains. It\u2019s a wonder that, despite the plethora of options, people dine here and make the avocado toast one of the most popular dishes on the menu. The same menu sells a side of truffle fries for $20.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Half a million reviews later, OpenTable confirms what\u2019s hot and what\u2019s not in Dallas.
