Gui - Restaurant Review
Whether your taste buds are crying out for something new or your soul yearns for a remembered flavor, Gui Korean Japanese Bistro and Bar has created a menu that marries the most expressive qualities of each cuisine into one cohesive expression. Traditional Korean cooking techniques and Japan’s love of seafood combine to produce dishes like the Chirashi, a bowl of sushi rice topped with sliced assorted raw fish, and the Man-Doo, Korean-style dumplings stuffed with beef, tofu, and assorted vegetables. Hot and cold sake selections round out the meal, and work with other drinks to provide a truly happy hour out of any hour.

Tucked beneath the Dallas Central Expressway is a stylish hot-spot known as the Sunset Lounge, a place for live music, sophisticated drinks and a late night crowd. Featuring new DJ’s every Friday night, the Sunset Lounge is a chic and hip place to grab a drink and dance the night away. They feature a dinner menu for upscale bar snacks, including paninis, flatbread pizza and other appetizers. Their signature drink menu, however, is what keeps patrons coming back to the Sunset Lounge. Known as a place “where hot bar meets cool lounge,” the Sunset Lounge’s cocktails and live music beats the Texas heat.

Lavendou
Address: 19009 Preston Rd., Dallas, TX 75252 (Map)
Bask in Lavendou’s warm and welcoming French countryside décor, and let yourself slip into the mindset of someone truly enjoying the moment. Rustic archways of exposed brick and lively tablecloth fabrics of blues and yellows help cement the feeling of being on holiday, and the southern French cuisine menu convinces the palate it is in another time zone. The Foie Gras En Terrine au Sauternes is a decadent expression of flavor, while the Grilled Tilapia Provencal speaks of seemingly effortless freshness. “High Tea” is also a daily event, and is another fine touch of French hospitality.

Local
Address: 2936 Elm Street, Dallas, TX 75226 (Map)
Owner and Executive Chef Tracy Miller spent six years turning her contemporary American café, Local, into what it is today – an upscale and intimate space that offers straight forward, approachable, clean, and composed dishes that aim to intrigue and inspire. Each meal begins with warm spiced nuts and a Petite Soup Amuse, and ends with a Cranberry Thumbprint Mignardise. Other delights include the Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras with House-Made Texas Toast, the Hazelnut-Mustard Crusted Halibut, and the Braised Pork Osso Buco. Local is housed in the historic Boyd Hotel, and embraces the long artistic past of the building while offering a truly modern sophistication in both food and décor.
