Best Restaurants for Foodies in Bells

Such great service! Our 2nd time here, love the octopus appetizer. Great change to the bread option. Chris was great server, very attentive. Kevin our previous server came by to say Hi and chat with us too!

Birthday Celebration #2 -We headed to Drake’s for the man’s second celebration of the weekend, marking our second visit there. The menu had changed a bit since our last time, but the ambiance remained fantastic. We continue to love the attentive service and live music. For appetizers, we ordered the shrimp cocktail and crab scampi. The shrimp (4) were massive, and the cocktail sauce was spot on. The crab claws (5) were absolutely delicious, and the accompanying sauce was so good I saved it to use on my mashed potatoes. For our entrées, I had the crab cake, and he chose the ribeye (medium well), and we shared a side of mashed potatoes. The crab cake was outstanding, with a perfectly crisp top layer and plenty of flavorful crab. The ribeye was cooked exactly how he likes it—tender, flavorful, and just juicy enough (though I would have preferred medium). Drinks-wise, I enjoyed three Bogart’s Gimlets and a shot of Don Julio Añejo, while he had three Manhattans, a shot of Michter’s, and we split a beer. The drinks were tasty, but neither of us felt tipsy—interpret that as you will regarding the pour strength. We did mention we were celebrating a birthday, but there were no special treats or mentions for us. We noticed other tables receiving birthday cakes, cotton candy, etc., so it seems you might have to request or pay for those. Not a big deal, but worth noting for anyone expecting a complimentary celebration gesture. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely return for the ambiance, live music, and excellent food. The total cost was $436, including the tip.

My favorite meal! Yellow tail jalapeño, hearts of palm salad, miso black cod and Matto roll are all a must! Matto tuna roll is special to the Dallas restaurant. Ambiance is perfect!

Breathe taking. This restaurant precedes itself with its reputation nothing but quality from start to finish. Food was emaculent hats off to the chefs. Our waitress was amazing aswell. Definitely will recommend and I’ll be back!

This one & Tei-An are our favorite Dallas restaurants. Tei Tei Robata is better overall insofar as OVERALL FOOD QUALITY…Plus, the music is quieter and more calming making the food more enjoyable!
