Dakota's Steakhouse

Aurora Maison de Cuisine
Address: 4216 Oak Lawn Avenue, Dallas, TX 75219
Aurora is decadence at its most classic. The quaint and intimate dining room exudes romance, with subdued lighting, candlelit tables, and soft accents. The open kitchen, set behind a frame of etched glass, looks like a theater stage, with the kitchen staff acting out a nightly performance. Their creations are as whimsical and elegant as the décor, with an array of French-inspired dishes that play on premium ingredients, inventive combinations, and classic pairings. The menu changes weekly, but entrees like Chicken Crusted with Lemon Thyme, Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Pomme Puree, and Lamb Rib Medallions with Sweet Potato Gnocchi suggest savory satisfaction.

Nana
Address: 2201N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207
Located on the 27th floor of the Hilton Anatole, Nana is surrounded by panoramic views of Dallas. But the views are far from the only draw. Guests flock to the elegant, Asian-inspired dining room to sample the creations of Chef Anthony Bombaci, whose tantalizing menu is captivating and unique. Bombaci’s dishes look like sculptures on a plate, each a study in vibrant color, complementing texture, and playful forms. A Filet of Prime Beef is accented by the vibrant greens and oranges of slivered roasted carrots, delicate microgreens,and a lush sweet potato puree. A playful “Liquid Baked Potato Soup” features sour cream foam, potato chip “salt” and chive oil. The food alone is worth a visit, but the excellent service, outstanding wine list, and live jazz music make an evening at Nana absolutely exquisite.
