[Lanny's Alta Cocina Mexicana - Restaurant Review
Classic techniques and a formal understanding of haute cuisine shape the way Executive Chef Lanny P. Lancarte II approaches his Mexican-inspired menu. Growing up in the kitchen of Joe T. Garcia, his great grandfather, Lancarte translates the meaning of the meal in Mexico through a menu that offers possibilities like the Cream of Oaxacan Pasilla Soup, Mole Braised Lamb Shank, and Arroz con Leche to finish. Lancarte compliments his dishes with an Old World/New World wine list that exposes patrons to selections usually reserved for the cellar. While Lancarte continues his work learning and experiencing Mexican cuisine, the fruits of his labor make for seriously enjoyable dining.

Nana
Address: 2201 Stemmons Fwy., Dallas, TX 75207 (Map)
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.

The Grilled Rib-eye is succulent; the Pan-roasted Tasmanian Salmon is visionary; and the Brown Butter Plum Tart is downright decadent.
