Bellini's: Italian in Dallas

    Dinner with Friends at
    Bellinis
    by VeronicaG
    Bellinis Italian Cafe is an unassuming little restaurant where we were invited for dinner on a Sunday evening. Old world decor and capable service made our evening a pleasant one spent in the company of friends and nice atmosphere.

    I ordered a delectable Herb Crusted Breast of Chicken with garlic potatoes and carrots accompanying the meal. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad, which was light on the dressing...just perfect. Wine with our meal completed our dinner. We were too full to choose one of their great looking desserts.

    Sample entrees from the menu are Shrimp Provencal, Crab Cakes, Veal Marsala and Pizza.

    Herb crusted chicken breast--so wonderful!

    This restaurant provides a unique dining experience. All the waiters and waitresses are dressed up as some sort of fictional character.

    They specialize in birthday celebrations and have the following packages:

    #1 - one chocolate cake serving 6-8 people.

    #2 - add to #1 a party hat, party blow out, Magic Time Machine souvenir cup and two helium balloons.

    The menu includes prime rib, steaks, seafood, chicken, pork, & a few other things. Click on the link for the entire menu and prices.

    Spaghetti Warehouse: Family Eating in Downtown West End

    Spaghetti Warehouse
    by ATXtraveler
    One of the major problems historically with my visits to the West End is the madness called "Eating Dinner". Since there are 7 million people eating there annually, and I always end up there when 2 or 3 million of them are there (ok, its a little exageration)...there always seems to be a huge waiting list.

    We had a group of 15, so I did not expect much in the lines of catering to our needs, but I have to admit, the Warehouse handled us nicely. We had a great waiter, and the food was affordable.

    I had the spaghetti with meat sauce, which was very good.

    A few people in my group had dessert, and the brownie sundae and chocolate cake were both huge and delicious. Do not order more than one dessert per 2/3 people!!

    Antares: Dining over Dallas
  • Tip Rating:

  • Astrobuck
  • By Astrobuck on November 6, 2004
  • Dallas Page by Astrobuck
  • This restaurant is located in Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas, Texas. When the host / hostess seats you, if you watch closely, you will see that you are in fact...MOVING! It takes one hour to go completely around, and you can enjoy the Dallas skyline while dining.

    It's been a while since I ate there...the experience is better than the food.

    The Dome in Reunion Tower: Every 55 Minutes

    We intended to eat at lunch at the top of Reunion Tower at Antares which is the full service restaurant, but there was some kind of big luncheon up there and there would be a long wait before we could get seated. So we decided to eat lunch at the Dome instead.

    Antares offers lunch, dinner, and a Sunday brunch in an elegant and contemporary atmosphere. The Dome, a cocktail lounge, is located on Reunion's highest level. Beverages, food, and entertainment are offered nightly. Both Antares and The Dome are on a revolving floor and complete a revolution every 55 minutes.

    Since it wasn't night time, and the lunch menu was apparently about the same for both places, we decided on the Dome, which was almost empty.

    On the way down after lunch, we saw the Mayor briefly going up the elevator as we had just come down.

    Bob had the Dome Burger ($7.75) which was on a toasted bun and served with potato chips. I had the Maverick Steak Sandwich (pictured) for $9.25 which was prime rib with jack cheese on sourdough bun and potato chips. Other possibilies were Grilled Chicken Caesar ($8.75) or Lone Star Chicken Sandwich ($7.75)

    The desserts (all $6.95) were Chocolate Truffel Cheesecake, New York Style Cheesecake, Pecan Pie or Chocolate Chocolate Cake.

    Good for sushi!
    by ara225
    This is one of our favorite sushi restaurants - fresh fish and good service! Not overly pricey and good choice of rolls. Give yourself some time on weekends because the sushi bar is always full! Tables boxes are also available with Japanese seating pillows.

    My favorite is the appetizer agedashi tofu - cubes of fried tofu with a tasty ginger-soy sauce. mmmm....Also excellent is the albacore tuna...

    My fellow VT friend who came to visit loved the spicy tuna rolls....

    My husband's favorite is the toro sashimi (fatty tuna) - very fresh...

  • Tokyo One at 4350 Belt Line Road in Addison, a northern suburb of Dallas, serves up an all you can eat sushi buffet along with a huge variety of other Japanes favorites at an all inclusive price.

    Western food, including prime rib, a full salad bar and an excellant dessert buffet are also available and included in the single price.

    This has got to be one of the most fantastic food bargins around. I drive an hour and half to Dallas from my home in East Texas just to have lunch here.

    The smoked eel sushi is excellant.

    My favorite pizza in Dallas: Scalini's Pizza & Pasta
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:

  • Dallas Page by geanster
  • Scalini's is located in the Lakewood area of Dallas. It's a very small Italian restaurant that just did a little remodeling the last couple of months to offer room for more patrons. They have a good house salad with a vinegarette kind of dressing and then the most amazing pizza. Everything I've tried there is good, but the pizza is why I'm adding this tip. It's a thinner crust and in a big square shape, they bring it out on a tray, a small is big enough for at least 2 people to share. They also deliver if you're in the vicinity.

    Green Papaya is a very cute and hip Vietnamese restaurant located on Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas. My introduction was with friends picking up order's of their chicken spring rolls. They serve them with peanut sauce so specifically ask for their soy sauce if you prefer. It's great. Everything else I've tried has been delicious as well, especially a garlic chicken dish they offer.

    They do accept credit cards and their hours are:
    Daily 5:00pm-10:00pm; Mon-Fri 11:00am- 3:00pm

    The signature cheesecake
    by BLewJay
    I was watching a Food TV presentation in February (2004) about eateries in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. One of the businesses they highlighted was Patty's Pantry Texas Cheesecake. The article was discussing desserts and specifically talked about the Texas Pecan Cheesecake...so since I was in the area and love cheesecake, I had to stop by.

    I chose the Texas Pecan Cheesecake (graham cracker crust and pecans spread throughout) and the Chocolate Kahlua Cheesecake (graham cracker crust, dark chocolate and kahlua).
