York Street

Tel. 214.826.0698
This tiny little restaurant with a somewhat unkempt garden is not the first place to go for looks, but it should be the first place to go for food: it is at the center of new Texas cuisine. Try the braised rabbit or grilled elk loin.

This is considered by many to be Dallas's best.  The ambiance is exquisite with hand painted frescoes reminiscent of Versailles.  The American-French cuisine is wonderful and the service is as good or better than anywhere else.  Just remember that Dallas folks do dress up when they dine at a restaurant of this caliber.
