Places to Eat and visit in Dallas??

[techman05]

linds, also for good pics, google the arboretum in Dallas. It should be awesome this time of year. It will be hot so go early or go late.

If you want good maragritas and great mexican food in Ft Worth go to Joe T. Garcias.

Texas De Brazil in Dallas or Ft Worth
Samba Room in Highland Park, Dallas
Javier's Steakhouse in Dallas also.
Blue Mesa, Dallas

Great restaurants, but more expensive. Can spend $50 per person. But, when in Dallas, go somewhere you can't go in other places. Actually Texas De Brazil has several locations, but it is still high on the list for me.

to me, Rainforest is overrated as far as the meal. The dessert is great, the atmosphere is cool. The 4 places above have the atmosphere, service, and food that is above all.

Blue Mesa is pretty good, and not quite as bad for price as those other places (Blue Mesa is in Ft. Worth, too).

I kind of agree on the Rainforest. It's an interesting place to go once. Or maybe if you had kids that were into it or wanted to bring them back a gift it'd be worth going more than once. A little too loud to really carry on a conversation.

Would you say that the Botanical gardens in Fort worth are a better place to do her bridals then the The Dallas Arboretum? BEcause thats where we were originally planning to do her bridals.

THANKS for all your suggestions!! I'm going to go to those websites and see what looks good...

I haven't been to the Arboretum, but I imagine you can get great pictures either place. The Botanical Gardens do have the Japanese Garden, but I'm sure the Arboretum has things that we don't have over here. The lawn of the Kimball Art Museum has some nice places for pictures, too. For that matter, from the front of the Amon Carter you can get a good shot of the skyline in the background.

Your best bet is to probably check out both websites and see what has more of the stuff you're looking for. But like techman05 said above, I'd get there early or late because in the middle of the day it will be blazing.

Someone said that there is now a Dick's Last Resort in Dallas. You could go there, and it would be just like I was with you. :icon_wink:

Its in the West End and has been in Dallas for 20 years.

The Dallas Arboretum is a spectaclur place. It has become a jewel of Dallas on the shores of White Rock Lake.

The Gardens in Ft Worth are awesome too. I was just thinking if you had time, even outside of portrait time, you might swing by there. Great place for anniversary pics and stuff like that too. Just thought you might want to cruise through for a later opportunity.

we were in Dallas this past week and took the boy to Medieval Times and he LOVED it. Had considered going to the rainforest cafe but time didnt allow us to make it there. Did the Rangers game Wed night, six flags thurs as well as meeting up with one of our old volleyball friends, and then friday did medieval and the mesquite rodeo. It was a great trip but so glad to be back in God's Country (Lincoln Parish)

Where is PF Changs in Dallas? What is it close too?

You spent a small fortune! (but hit all the great spots in Dallas).

There is one off 75. It is actually part of North Park Mall (the south side). North Park is a few miles north of SMU.

Take the $13 tour of the new Cowboys stadium, if we're still suggesting things to do.

that place is nuts isnt it? saw it wed night while walking to The Ballpark and got up the next morning and drove around it. Looks like a spaceship landed and then they surrounded it by parking lots. Very Nice.
