The wife and I are going to be in the Dallas area this Saturday for our anniversary.

We want to go to a nice place to eat, but don't want to go to the "usual" places (Friday's, Chili's, Olive Garden, etc).

We'd like to go to a nice quiet place to eat and not have to worry about the "staff" coming out and singing Happy Birthday to have the guests in the restaurant. No loud music, people acting fools. Just a nice quiet dinner.


Money is not an option.

Any suggestions?

 

Rudy's?

 

what kind of food, where in the Dallas area will you be, it's HUGE

 

Bone Daddy's

 

he's taking the wife

I know of a couple of places, but Im not sure what they want to eat or what kind of atmosphere is too much..

 

Fogo de Chao http://www.fogodechao.com/

All you can eat Brazilian Steakhouse, we had a place just like this cater our wedding reception. Very, very good... and rather classy, too.

 

Sorry dinty.

I'll be in the Grand Prairie area. Over by I-30 and and 360 (Beltline RD) at the Nokia Theatre.

[edit]

We both love Italian food. Where is the "Candle light" (or whatever the name is)

 

Niiiice.

I have added this to my list.

 

There is nothing better than a Brazillian Steak House.

Except maybe a good chocolate fondue...

 

Piccolo Mondo 829 E Lamar Blvd, just off I-30 in Arlington not far from Nokia

Prego's in Dallas

Both are excellent Italian

 

Neither of us has ever had Brazilian steak....so, I think that'll be an experience.

 

I was on a business trip a couple years ago, Atlanta, and they took me to one for lunch. Man what a great feast. About a year ago I discovered one here in Denver and took a few friends. I couldnt want to go. Absolutely wonderful. I dont think the girlfriend and I could sleep until like 1am because we were full for like 4 hours. Food so good you can't stop eating it.

I got $100 in gift certificates I bought for $50 sitting at home. Can't wait to go back.

 

Fogo is great, I would also suggest Buca di Bepo..family style italian. they serve small or large..the small is enough for 2 people and the large feeds a family of 4..very good and reasonable on the price..http://www.bucadibeppo.com/. ask for the kitchen table..that's an experience...

 

Fine dining and Texans go together like a Leftie and a .45.

Stick with what ya know...

 

Sorry JW- If I'd seen this, I'd have recommended FoGo De Chao...

Corner of Midway & Beltline, right next to Olive Garden. If your wife loves meat, she'd love that place. But, if she prefers a quieter atmoshpere, then Olive Garden was right there. There are other "non-chain" resturants that are far superior to Olive Garden, but OG can get 'er done... If you really wanted to show off, take her to the resturant that's in the Ball tower, next to reunion arena.

It would have been somewhat out of the way from Grand Prarie; but all the super-nice stuff (as far as restuarants and venues go) in Dallas is north of 635, east of 35 and West of 75.

Resturant Row (Addison) is on Beltline, between Midway and the Tollway.

Well, you'll know next time- then you guys can get a room at the Westin in the Galleria, and be close to all the good stuff, and not terribly far from Deep Elum (Downtown, 12 - 15 miles) if you'd like to do that.

As you know, Dallas is a big emmer-effer. Size (land) wise, it's one of the largest cities in the US, trailing only Phoenix, Jacksonville, and Los Angeles (if memory serves) in terms of square mileage. You can be in the same city, and still be an hour away from a person, in good traffic.
