Best Dinner Places to Eat in Garland

"Between the expansive rooftop patio and the top-notch cocktails, diners would be hard-pressed to find a better warm weather hangout than this. Try the Double Under, a mix of beet-infused tequila spiked with lime and rosemary syrup, and enjoy the sunset."

"James Beard award-winning chef Tyson Cole's Austin-based sushi paradise has been a hot-ticket reservation since the restaurant opened near Uptown in 2015. And for good reason: The menu features an exquisite lineup of nigiri and sashimi as well as innovative takes on Japanese dishes. Fresh, high-quality ingredients shine with crowd-pleasers like thinly sliced flounder with candied quinoa, and oak-grilled escolar dressed in ponzu and citrus marmalade."

"When it comes to finding fresh seafood, sushi is usually a solid choice. But James Beard award-winning chef Tyson Cole's restaurant, Uchi, offers much more than nigiri and sashimi, though they have that here, too. Expect also to see a lineup of inventive small plates that include standouts such as hirame usuzukuri (thinly sliced raw flounder with candied quinoa) and the machi cure, composed of smoked yellowtail, yucca chips and marcona almonds."

"One of the best vegetarian restaurants Dallas has to offer is located in a Hare Krishna temple. At Kalachandji’s, most of the meals are based on ancient Vedic recipes and traditions. In addition to the traditional chutneys, curries, and steamed vegetables, the restaurant offers an international entrée that changes daily."

"Opreated by the East Dallas Hare Krishna temple for nearly 40 years, Kalachandji’s is a vegetarian paradise. The menu changes daily, but soup, rice, veggie curry, and pakoras are always on the menu, and a full buffet dinner only costs $14. Just try not to get too stuffed on the famous cinnamon-raisin bread."

"Kalachandji’s is a vegetarian restaurant serving the Dallas area for more than 37 years. With more than 3 decades of service, it is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in your locale. It highlights the taste of India with her vast and ancient vegetarian tradition."

"Check into ZaZa’s Erotica suite for the ultimate romantic getaway – it comes with an oversized whirlpool bath, a king bed and decadent velvet and silk furnishings. Try the Romance Ritual at the hotel spa for dual body scrubs and massages, then continue chilling at the rooftop pool, which has glittering skyline views. Evening turndown service, with retro candy and votive candles, sets an intimate mood."

"It’s a lively district with an impressive selection of eateries, nightlife, and plenty of tram stops for your convenience.

You won’t miss a thing as long as you look up, down, and all around as you wind your way through each of these unique environments."

"A wealth of experience and tradition accompanies dinner at Tupi’s. The restaurant’s heritage spans decades back to 1947, when it opened to become what is now Dallas’ oldest family-owned Mexican restaurant. It is fine dining that remains true to its original roots, with lunch specials, a full menu and a bar equipped with wines, beer, and mixed drinks."

"The oldest family-owned Mexican restaurant in Texas, Tupinamba was first opened back in 1947. It’s moved several times, but manages to retain an old-school vibe and a loyal clientele that comes back for the deep-fried “Tupy tacos” and more classic Tex-Mex fare."

"Hotel St. Germain is an extremely beautiful, luxury hotel that aesthetically transitions its guests from one century to another. This cozy hotel has a total of seven antique suites carefully placed in unique settings with upscale features such as the 5-star, award-winning dining room that overlooks a New Orleans style courtyard.

"UptownSmall, European-style hotel with first-class diningMajestic chandeliers, flowing curtains, flickering candles, and floor-length tablecloths set the stage for food-lovers (and lovers in general) to feel transported to another place and time. With advance reservations, you can enjoy an elegant prix-fixe dinner with a view of the ivy-covered courtyard with advance reservations. It probably goes without saying, but guys are required to wear jackets here."

"It was my favorite hidden gem in Dallas–until I saw LeeAnne Locken spending her wedding night there on Real Housewives of Dallas and realized it wasn’t really a secret. Nevertheless, Hotel St. Germain flies under the radar of many locals. The European-style hotel has dreamy, opulent suites, but the dining room is also worth a visit."

"Yep, this is where the iconic ’80s television show Dallas was filmed. But don’t worry: If you visit, you won’t be besieged by backstabbing, lust or dramatic showdowns. Quite the opposite, actually."

"For fans of the TV show Dallas, no visit to the area is complete without making a pilgrimage to this iconic ranch, located 25 miles north of Dallas in the suburb of Parker."

"Urban Taco’s spacious 1,000 square-foot patio offers an inviting space for people watching over a 32-ounce fishbowl margarita with three frozen flavors in one vessel while noshing on an avocado ceviche tower. Half-price margaritas, mojitos, and cheap beer during their weekday happy hour will tempt you further to try out this spot before or after a day of shopping."

"Urban Taco has such a cute outdoor patio and several Instagrammable walls inside. And when you’re there, don’t forget to look down when you walk in for a cute tile floor!. (Of course, you might want to wear cuter shoes than the one’s we’re wearing here! But you can imagine its potential!)"

"Get ready to receive sushi that’s so pretty you (almost) won’t want to take a bite!. Address: 11661 Preston Rd #160, Dallas"

"This Japanese restaurant features robata cooking, which is a charcoal-fired hearth that attains high-temperatures. The distinct smoky and bold flavors from the robata are prominent..."

"Located in the still up-and-coming Cedar’s neighborhood, south of all the fuss up in Deep Ellum, Mike’s might compel you to lament, “They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore.” Only they did, just last year. This dive is old school through and through, but it’s also the new hip local hangout. With vinyl booths, strong drinks, and quirky bar food (pickled sausages?!), you’ll forget what year it is (or how late into the night it’s gotten)."

"WHY WE LOVE IT: Of the three restaurants in Nick Badovinus’ Neighborhood Services mini empire, the newest — relaxed yet buzzy and vibrant, with a terrific bar — is most appealing. The superb “Funk Room” steaks are too pricey to qualify for this category of dining, but it’s easy to assemble a wonderful dinner focused on the rest of the menu. The butterscotch pot de crème with a whisper of whiskey is a Dallas classic."

"Don't be put off by its dark paneling, this Big-Easy inspired bar may look like a dive, but the jazzy performances and occasional DJ nights make it a pretty unique joint. Plus, there's a cozy courtyard for those who prefer to relax with a breeze. With a daily happy hour, karaoke and endless picks of jukebox tunes, there’s something for everyone at the Twilite Lounge."

"The rustic yet sultry allure of Twilite Lounge draws locals and newcomers alike. Lounge on tufted leather booths beneath chandeliers and enjoy the vintage jukebox spinning old-school records. Order their house frozen coffee drink, or be bold and ask for the “Big Gay Joey.” Trust us."

"This is a narrow, railroad car space, paneled in dark wood, dimly lit by candle-like chandeliers. It’s also an intimate setting for a night of live music, a few specialty libations, or even a quiet place to read a book. Twilite Lounge offers all this and more."

"The darkly romantic, Tulum-inspired Yellow Rosa in a new addition to the Dallas dining scene. Opened in October of last year, the coctelería was made in the image of the cantinas of San Miguel de Allende. Its moody atmosphere, accented by weaving vines and sand-based brick walls, dripping candelabras, and antique furniture, imbue the space with a sense of intimacy."

"Transport yourself to a hidden oasis, inspired by the beaches of Tulum. Yellow Rosa in Deep Ellum is our little escape to Mexico. Great atmosphere, delicious drinks and food, and the perfect place for a fire Instagram pic."

"This Elm Street gem is one of the newest in Dallas’ rooftop scene. Famous for their bistro-style Vietnamese food and delicious cocktails, it’s perfect for dinner, post-dinner cocktails or Sunday brunches. Despite being smack dab in the centre of downtown, Sky Blossom has remained one of Dallas’ best-kept secrets."

"Vietnamese eats, gorgeous cocktails, and an even better view collide at this rooftop favorite. Snack on bright spring rolls while drinking super-fruity cocktails garnished with everything from chia seeds to flowers to sour candies. View this post on Instagram"
