"Huge Gulf oysters flown in daily are salty and creamy at this low-key local spot. Great for kids. Huge portions of fried fish. The mixto ceviche is limey & briney, and the shrimp boil is amazing!"

"TJs brings in fresh fish daily. The smoked salmon board is perfect to share (or not share), and when the lobster roll is available, order it! Great for dates."

"A stingray touch tank caps off this intimate aquarium, perfect for kids! Each wing has lots of fish and information. Not too big, so works perfectly for kids who could get overstimulated or tired."

"Upscale Chinese at the trendy Statler Hotel. The dim sum menu is a hit parade. Try the wok fried crab omelet and the half Cantonese roast duck for heartier fare."

"A hidden speakeasy at the Statler Hotel with amazing cocktails. Swanky. A limited snack menu, so try dinner at Fine China beforehand."

"The cocktail bar with amazing views of downtown Dallas is the best rooftop in the city. Perfect for a nice day or to kick off a girl's night out."
