Great choice, we love Tei-An. Good luck Bill in Atlanta, we will miss you!
You can add Mainstream Fish at Preston/Forest to your list of 2008 restaurant closings. The waiter told us that last night was their final night. Because the overall restaurant business is slow he said that the staff were not going to be picked up by the other MCrowd businesses.
I am so sad about Mainstream. That was my favorite lunch spot.
I'm sorry, but I and my dining companion didn't like Screen Door AT ALL! We would never recommend it to anyone, and would never go back there again! It was neither/nor: neither delicious upscale food, nor wonderful southern cooking! What a disappointment! But, I wonder, what in the world did the others eat there that was so good? Oh, well. Dallas certainly isn't hurting for good places to eat.
I wish I had known before that there was a BLT Steak here in Dallas. My mom and I ate at the one in NYC over the summer and it was phenomenal!!!! If you are ever in NYC, is in Midtown East/Upper East Side. The turnovers and dessert are well worth it.
Ah, more wonderful places to visit! I guess I better hurry before they all close. That closure list was sure long and painful.
Bill Addison and his group of reviewers really missed it as for the best sushi in Dallas. Not reviewed was Reikyu in Mockingbird Station. Sit at the sushi bar and talk to Mark Lee, the owner and chef, and you will have the sushi experience of a lifetime. In four years going, I nor any of my guests have ever ordered from the menu. Instead, we greet Mark and turn over our culinary fate to him. You will never be disappointed and customarily will realize you are past satiated before holding up your hand to stop. The tastes are so exquisite that you lose sight of how much you are eating. Add to it the finest cold sake around and top it off with incredible desserts and you have an experience that you will rave about indefinitely. Stop in for dinner at Reikyu and ask for Mark. Tell him Pat and Lorna sent you.
