What couples say about Gemma

"Celebrating our 64th birthdays we tried Gemma based on good reviews. Menu was interesting, if not a little exotic. Beautiful presentations. Fun and delicious specialty drinks. Jalapeño/? Loved! Great servers. Noise level a little high, so not advised for a serious business dinner. Valet available." - lovesbabies

"If you’re looking for the perfect date night, Gemma is the place to go! Their cocktails and food are spectacular. I ordered the watermelon cocktail that has a watermelon ice cube that melts as you drink it, sort of a test in your patience. Even if you don’t want to have a full fancy dinner, I’d say to stop by and get a drink and appetizers at the bar. You won’t regret it!" - Eri C

"Many Fine Dining restaurants have an air of snootiness about them - not Gemma. We were able to get a last minute reservation and so happy that we could. From the minute we walked in the door we were treated like we were regulars (it was our fist time at Gemma). The food was exceptional. The fried olives and pecans were a yummy appetizer. The chicken porchetta and the egg noodle pasta was superb. Will definitely be going back." - texassicilian

"The new 4-building museum complex just west of the Convention and Visitors Bureau is a must see. It only takes about an hour to see if all, and it is well done, with docents for questions, professional presentation of historic items, and some audio presentations. A small-town museum, beautifully presented." - annenrob

"My husband and I recently attended the Dior Late Night event which was from 7pm-9(ish). It was our first time attending one of their Late Night showings. They have these often when great exhibitions are displayed. It was such a great Date Night, roaming the museum after hours. Before the museum we listened to jazz music in the lobby and sipped on some wine. You can definitely make an evening here at the museum with your loved one (or group of friends). Dress code for Late Night is up to you! I went semi-dressed while there was a mix of casual and dressed." - vanessaindallas

"We visited on a cloudy day and were amazed by the wonders inside. All of the paintings depicting history were vibrant and well maintained. My wife’s assignment involved finding art such as clay or stone figures depicting animals from the 13th century. They did not disappoint. A great day out with my wife and we even enjoyed history on display." - LuckyMartian

"My adult daughter and I visited the DMA while having a staycation at the nearby Sheraton hotel. It was a short five minute walk. And the Museum was not that crowded. It was a little busy. I especially liked the big blue man statue looking down on a tiny guy. Best thing about the DMA is that its FREE." - Debbie L

"We came here for dinner and had made reservations. Since it was a nice day, the doors were all open and it made the restaurant feel open and airy (this may have alleviated the concerns others had about noise). Our server was very attentive. We had drinks and a well-paced dinner, although we did ask the server to wait a few times before taking our order. We would come back, but I recommend to go early as it did get crowded on a Saturday night." - KG_TXtraveler

"We had had brunch earlier in the area and then did some shopping We had noticed this spot walking down the street so after shopping we decided to stop for a drink. Glad we did. I ordered the Sangria, I'm not a fan of sweet drinks but the description of this sounded good; it was. Cranberry based, and nicely tart/sweet. Hubby couldn't resist the King Crab legs (3 to an order); ordered a plate to share. Ohhh. such huge legs, plenty for 2 to share, served with lemon and drawn butter, such a treat." - Kathy F

"We walked from home to find a packed house with an abundance of energy. The house made meatballs were terrific served with hunks of warm baguette. The Minestrone soup was delicious. Beautiful bar, excellent wine list. The interior is gorgeous with an authentic Parisian feel to it. Service was on the mark. Highly recommended." - Nickie60

"We went with another couple and they had been here 3 times so that says something. My wife had the scallops and she said they were the best ever which is mighty praise as she usually complains! I had tenderloin which was excellent. Only issue was with the cloves in potatoes that really ruined the taste. We will be back." - Neil-from-Dallas

"Best food I've ever had. Chef Avner is amazing! We did the tasting, the first dish was so good I cried." - Michelle R

"Super fun menu, restaurant that just reopened its doors from into previous location in HPV. All of the items are reasonably priced for the quality of the food. The dishes were all freshly made to order and from scratch. The chef really puts a lot of effort into perfecting each dish to compliment your palette. There are also several vegetarian options available. At the end of our meal we got a specialty for the evening, a trio of desserts. My favorite were the donut holes filled with a candied cherry center and topped with pop rocks making it feel like a nostalgic party in your mouth! Will definitely be returning soon" - Gabby B

"Seriously one of the best meals I've eaten in my entire life. Everything is perfect: food, service, atmosphere. My girlfriend and I chose to have our waiter pick our menu for us and didn't regret it at all. Each piece of sushi was absolutely delicious and an experience in itself. We wanted to order sake but we're both complete novices. Our waiter brought us three samples to try, then we ordered a bottle of our favorite. Everyone wins! Yes it's expensive, but I think it was worth it. I dream about this sushi sometimes, can't wait to go back." - naturetack

"This place is top for a reason, and it deserves every bit of praise! We had our server just bring us items- he asked us our dislikes, likes and curated choices just for us. It was amazing- every item we had was 100% and unique. I highly recommend it!" - Julie R

Originally found the location near us downtown but was worried the wait would be too long and this one was on our way back to the airport rental car return. The menu is large and everything sounds delicious so definitely give yourself some time to look at everything. We decided to go with the cornbeef hash and California omelet with the pancakes of the month: pumpkin with apples and pecans. Yum! Everything was delicious!" - avantashley

It felt as if I was in a Music Video so be sure to take your time in certain rooms and even return to them to make sure you are capturing that perfect keepsake creation. The employees here were helpful as ever making sure we had the perfect lighting for our pictures and answering any and every question we had. Thanks To Legend, Austin, and Cole for all of their help.

What couples say about Smithy

"We've been way overeating, so went for early appetizers for supper. Delicious quesadillas and tater tots filled us up, good prices, lovely service by Megan and whole staff. Reasonable prices, nice drinks." - Guy L

"Wow. We really enjoyed the meal. Food was well prepared, fresh and very tasty. The steak bruschetta was shared as an appetizer...4 pieces and could easily make a great meal. I had the crab nachos as a dinner which were delicious and much lighter than traditional nachos with fresh crab, taro chips and jalapenos, sans cheese. My husband had the pig and pear sandwich which he thought delicious. Other couple had the fruit and nut salad which could have been 2 salads or shared and another sandwich which he loved.. truffle fries were delish (I snuck a couple from my husband) and only thing left on any plate was some of the greens from the salad. Only detraction was they didn't have any flavored vodka like deep Eddy's grapefruit for our favorite drink I still give it 5 stars though for the food and the rest of the bar offering seemed complete. Definitely recommend." - AnnalisaM346

"Excellent eatery near downtown Dallas. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable, the food is creative and well presented. Building your own bowl option allows you to make your own meal without actually cooking it! And do not pass on the intriguingly named cocktails - there are a few discoveries to enjoy." - Irina p

What couples say about Dealey Plaza

"Visiting Dealey Plaza pairs well with seeing the 6th Floor Museum. We went through the museum first, them went down to Plaza. That helped put things in perspective on the plaza. Also provides a great view of the old courthouse." - Brenda M

"This was really neat to see how the place has been preserved all of these years. There are X marks on the street to see where the shots were fired, and there is a marking in the six floor of the building where the shots came from. We did not go into the museum because there was plenty to read and see out on the street. There was a guy up on the grassy knoll who was retelling the story from several different points of view. He was very interesting. The gift shop across the street is a good place to get out of the heat and see some memorabilia from around that time." - ThorCCC

"The plaza is the site of JFK assassination. There are historic markers to notify you of the Zapruder film spot, the shot the killed JFK and location of the car, the grassy knoll and the book depository. We sat in the Zapruder location and watched his film on the internet. It was a somber moment knowing this was the location that changed our nation." - zkrscasa

What couples say about Meadows Museum

"An impressive collection of primarily Spanish Art (from the original Algur H. Meadows bequest) with other excellent additions and periodic special Exhibitions. As a 1981 graduate of SMU, I had walked through the much smaller Meadows Museum when it was located within the Fine Arts building located on the East side of Bishop Blvd. The new building (completed in 2001) located on the West side of Bishop Blvd., is a beautiful facility in which to display the Museum’s remarkable art collection." - Travel80

"We went to the recent Dali exhibition here and it was wonderful. The museum always has wonderful special events and we try to see them all." - mozziecat

"I am so happy to see the Meadow's art collection finally have a home of it's own. And what a beautiful and professionally done home it is! Sadly, we were only able to view half the collection as the museum was preparing for a new exhibit. But what we saw was well worth the price of admission even if they had not charged us half. The rooms are beautifully lit and presented as well as any of the finest museums. The works are diverse and very special. The sculpture terrace outside is also very impressive." - pirula778

Located on the sixth floor of the Dallas County Administration Building, this historical landmark examines the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. This is also the spot where Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed the President during his Texas tour. The exhibit can be heavy at times, so it isn’t recommended for young visitors. Exhibits include historic films, photographs, and historical reports documenting the legacy. It even includes a live camera showing visitors the sightline of the famed gunshot. Tickets are around $20 for adults and is included in the Dallas’ CityPASS.

What couples say about Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

"The John F. Kennedy assassination continues to haunt many. This excellent museum lays out the actual spots where Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK motorcade were on that fateful day. The backstories for JFK, Oswald, and Jack Ruby are told. Evidence is shown. Warren Commission findings and subsequent investigation results are laid out. You stand at the windows on The 6th floor and chills come over you! The museum does not attempt to convince you for or against the conspiracy theory. For me, it makes me want to learn even more. History buffs or sleuths, this is a must do!" - Sharon W

"The museum, with audio tour is very good, we spent 4 hours inside. By pure luck, we'd bought our admission tickets across the road in the museum shop. This meant that when queuing for entry, we joined the short queue to go straight in when the half hour entry slot arrived (10am in our case). You don't really need the audio tour as mostly it is shown in pictures and text inside the museum on the 6th floor. So you wouldn't miss much by just walking around and reading. Having said that the narration in the audio tour is done by a journalist that was there on the fateful day!!!" - robert g

"Well worth visiting. We were very lucky and walked into this museum with not one person on line (yeah!). Very easy downtown location to get to via car. Cost of admission is $18.00 (they do offer military discount). Be ready they ask you if you want to make a donation to the museum on top of the admission price LOL! You can find street parking or park at museum. Cost for parking at museum parking was $12.00 with direct access to museum (but this lot is small and when busy I bet will fill up fast!) or $10.00 in parking lot directly behind museum parking lot and is only a minute walk! All employees we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The tour is self guided audio that is simple to understand. The audio guides you to each section and you listen and read. For $18.00 I did feel it was a lot for this tour and couldn't imagine trying to maneuver around if it was crowded. We do things fast and we spent an hour at this tour" - E7066VSlisas

Even if you’re not the most religious of spirits, The Museum of Biblical Art is worth seeing for any art connoisseur at least once in their lifetime. From permanent galleries featuring Biblical fine art and paintings, to seasonal exhibits, this Biblical monolith has the world’s greatest collection of Christian art work.

"First time visiting a biblical museum before and it was very nice. The paintings were beautiful. I really enjoyed being able to ask a Holocaust survivor questions, I thought that was really neat." - KJ072018

"From their outdoor garden with the Stations of the Crosses of Gib Singleton's work that are larger than life, to the Tapestry of the Centuries by Vladimir Gorskey showing the most important people from the birth of Christ to the year 2000. Expect to spend no less than 2 - 4 hours seeing all of the historic pieces of biblical art to more contemporary pieces, Sculptures, and the list goes on." - David Z

"A small museum but quite interesting - the Jewish silver pieces surprised us in their workmanship. The holocaust exhibit was emotional. The Resurrection Tapestry was the reason for our visit and we spent almost an hour absorbing all that was presented." - 5butchs

"My wife and I went with some friends and were blown away. I have spent quite a bit of time in South America, and this is the best South American restaurant in Dallas, and probably the best I've had in the states. Thoroughly enjoyed the South American cuisines, the coffees, and the desserts. Do yourself a favor and go eat here!" - guitardude9587

"My husband and I ate here for the first time for Sunday brunch after church. This place is wonderful! Tastefully decorated with exceptional wait staff. The food was well represented and all the flavors of my dish paired nicely. I ordered the spinach stuffed butternut squash. I couldn't decide between this or the ceviche. The waiter made an obvious suggestion when I asked him which one to order by stating that the ceviche is always on the menu and the stuffed squash is only served for brunch. I was thoroughly impressed with how my food came on the plate. I've never been presented with food this way before. It was almost too pretty to eat! My husband and I like to try new things but are weary cause we have sensitive palates. Everything on my plate was awesome! His was as well. He ordered the Tejas breakfast wrap plate. We both walked out feeling more than satisfied and making plans to visit again soon. I can't wait to try the ceviche. My compliments to the chef!!!" - Shelly H

While the museum isn’t your typical art collecting museum, the Fort Worth hosted venue is one of the most cultural in the state. It’s also the only bilingual institution in Texas dedicated to contemporary. So if you’re looking for a Spanish-speaking attraction, this is your place. The museum is also free for all visitors and closed Mondays. But that won’t stop the most artistic of adventures from exploring the warehouse of wonder. There’s even a talk series for visitors looking for more than visual experiences.

What couples say about Dallas Contemporary

"Interesting collections. Rotates every 4-5 months. Industrial gallery space in the Design District of Dallas. Francesco Clemente exhibit particularly provocative" - yogimamacita

"The first works are on the approaching street with the large Playboy bunny symbol with a car that came from Marfa. There is free convenient parking. Inside we saw 3 very different thought provoking exhibits. The brochures shared upon entry were helpful providing context. There was no charge for admission. The museum had a strong smell of oil for some reason." - Lynn_Lyon

Have you ever heard of a ‘Brunch All Day’ bar? Well, Dallas is home to one of the area’s most known one with Ellen’s of Dallas. From their scrumptiously signature Eggs Benedict to the popular Big Ol’ Breakfast, Ellen’s offers a tasty twist on notable home cooked meals. And that’s it’s calling card - the restaurant prides itself on its familiar feel and homebred connection with its guest. Be sure to ask your waiter about their vegan and gluten-free options, which is a mainstay unlike other breakfast bars in the area. The eatery is also a great mid-day stop for visits of the nearby Dallas World Aquarium and John F. Kennedy Museums — all in walking distance.

What couples say about Ellen's

"Went to Ellen’s for breakfast and we loved it so much we went back the next day too!! The Pancake Potpie is a must do if you like breakfast! It is all the glory that is breakfast in one dish! The sweet and savory combo is a carnival for your taste buds and you won’t regret it! The Shrimp and grits and the country fried steak eggs Benedict are top notch and full of amazing flavors! The menu has plenty of choices for all taste buds and if you leave hungry it is your own fault! If we visit Dallas again we will for sure be stopping here for breakfast!" - michellebO3402GU

"First time in Dallas and we found Ellen’s on Yelp. It was about 8 blocks from our hotel...and our concierge recommended it too. Our first visit we had a 45 minute wait...well worth the wait I promise! We had Erin as our server and had an incredible breakfast...so much so we came back the next day too...Christine and Sidney helped that visit be special too as well as the food again!! Just a wonderful place to eat...Amen!" - DonnaS1714

"Delicious! My wife and I were in Dallas for a few days, and we visited Ellen's based on other online reviews. We went on a Monday night, which conveniently happened to be half-price margarita night. The drink was really good, and wasn't watered down despite being half-price. I had been eyeing the chicken fried steak, but my wife was torn between the cajun pasta and shrimp and grits (sans spinach). I'm not normally a shrimp and grits kind of guy, but I went with it so my wife could have some of each. I'm so glad I made that decision! Both entrees were amazing, but the shrimp and grits were on another level! I want to go back to Dallas just to eat at Ellen's, it was THAT good! The staff and overall atmosphere were also very pleasant." - jbk2005

"Went to arboretum as part of a surprise engagement. I can’t believe I have not made an effort to come here before. It’s a beautiful place with incredible colors and exquisite landscaping. People of every age and background will enjoy this place!! Like being inside a painting!!" - crobason

"It’s a beautiful botanical garden. Many colorful flowers, nicely designed water falls, and great view of lake. But the best part of our visit was amazing display of pumpkins. I’d never seen so many pumpkins!! And they were so beautifully arranged. They had a pumpkin village with Peanuts (snoopy) theme. It was so lovely. I highly recommend to visit." - Yukon23

"My husband and I were part of a tour group from Colorado visiting this beautiful garden.It was decorated for fall with 100,000 pumpkins and gourds of all kinds. The Botanical Garden purchases the whole crop of a local farmer and after they are done using the decorations, they give them to the zoo as feed for the animals. It was a beautiful day to enjoy all the stunning gardens and we even got to tour the DeGoyer House that is on the property. It was a very enjoyable visit and if I lived in Dallas I would get a membership so I could go as often as I wanted" - 712debbieb

"We enjoyed a lot of the sculptures around town so thought we would check this place out. It didn’t disappoint lots of really cool items to check out. But a few of the rooms were closed so they gave us half off the 10$ admission cost. The outdoor area was cool lots to see from really green grass to statues to water features" - oneczyrandy

Fortunately we did not have just one we had 2 each. I had a sit down beer and a Guavalajara while my wife had 2 crushed velvet. All drinks were amazing.

"Well that was just what my wife and I needed for a Monday breakfast/lunch. We even had enough leftovers to make it our dinner. Yum. Chicken was still tender and the bacon has very low fat perched atop some great waffles. Her Benedict was just as on target. I’m glad our hotel didn’t offer a free breakfast so we could find the Maple Leaf." - DougP-OKC

"We went here with friends, both couples celebrating a birthday. We were looking for something out of the ordinary, yet not overly expensive. We walked in and were surprised at how open and airy it felt, for being in a shopping center! Tables were kind of close together, and all the booths were taken, so we were seated near a family with small kids - fortunately, they were well behaved! The waitress took our drink orders while we read the substantial menu. Three chose dinners and I chose breakfast, which is served all day. Everything was cooked and seasoned well, with the exception of the fried shrimp, which were slightly overdone. Portions were gigantic - if you leave hungry, it's your own fault! Since it is a bakery as well, there were delectable pies and assorted cookies, muffins and scones to choose from for dessert, as well as 8 flavors of ice creams. We need to go back to sample more!!!" - Becky v

"We had no idea this place existed but found it while searching for restaurants in Addison. Everything was top-notch! Atmosphere, menu variety, portions, food quality, cleanliness - everything! Service was excellent as well and when we mentioned it was our first visit, they sent us home with a free treat. They serve breakfast all day and every order they brought to a neighboring table looked delicious. We'll definitely be back!" - TXBoater

Avocado special was a great decision and bananas foster dessert was also the perfect choice! Pictures is the apple dessert! That was also gone by the end of the meal! Will be back!!!" - Tk-Amy2008

"Outstanding attention to detail. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with lunch at 2 pm on a Monday and no crowd at all. Everything was excellent and the prices are reasonable. The bread was hot, fresh and delicious. We shared a champagne flight, then split the marshmallow soup. This is one of their signature dishes and was delicious. It is a tomato bisque with a goat cheese soufflé that is actually a cheese puff that looks like a marshmallow but certainly doesn’t taste like one. Wife had the ham and cheese savory soufflé and I had the special of the day crab soufflé. Both were excellent. We split the praline pecan soufflé for dessert. Service was great and all the food was delicious. Soufflés are not nearly as filling as diner fare so this may not be your best choice if you are looking for quantity of food. Great for a date meal." - Explore60896438085

"Great ambiance, friendly staff and great food! We sat in the kitchen theater section which is like a bar, you get to watch the chef make everything right there in front of you. The low lights gives you a romantic feel, one would think you were in Paris instead of Dallas lol. And they are very military friendly! I recommend the marshmallow soup and lobster soufflé." - Kay M

Known as Dallas’ original gastropub, this uniquely-styled mid priced restaurant is one of the South’s finest. From custom cocktails to hand-crafted beers, the selections at this bizarrely styled saloon is a must for any bar hopper. But the ambiance is impeccable as well featuring the city’s best beer menu with 40 draught beers, two live ales, and more than 85 bottles of wine. And good times aren’t limited by arbitrary hours with the pub opening in the morning and not closing well into the night (excluding Sundays). So if you’re looking for a new and weirdly-styled bar, the Meddlesome Moth could just be the character you’re searching for.

"This is more a share your plate type dining (American done Tapas style). The oysters were delicious and sweet. The crispy chicken skins are addictive, but the best was the Shepard’s pie ( it blew me away). I’ve been to the UK and I have dined at many English restaurants in the states and Shepard’s pie is something I usually don’t order in the states. Usually here it’s just ground beef and peas with mash potatoes on it here in the states very uneventful, not the case here. The beef is finely chopped not ground, there is pearl onions, horseradish, hint of English mustard and more. Seriously worth it." - 660samueld

"Awesome! Our waitress was Farrah and she was terrific! She has terrific recommendations. We had the ceasar and tuna to start. The ceasar and the bread that came with it were excellent! We also had the fritters with pimento. Omg!!!! Worth $7 each! Then we had the sweet chili duck wings! Omg ! Huge and amazing sweet slow build heat. Then we shared the steak from the board. They kindly sliced it for us to share. Cooked perfectly! I live panda cotta and wanted to try it, but everyone else wanted the chocolate bread pudding so we got both. Farrah recommended it too. I should have listened to her. Panama cotta was good, but chocolate bread pudding was better. Cocktails were lovely and hubby enjoyed the beer." - jenniferdA289ST

Great service too!!" - bonniew438

"What a gem!! While staying at the Ritz we decided to walk around town and discovered this small jewel of a museum. Amazing artifacts presented in a very informative and approachable way. Craftsmanship is stunning." - TheRoadLessTraveled0

"Once we finally parked, the elevator opens on a ground level. Walk across the courtyard, around to the front of the restaurant, and tell the hostess you are looking for the museum. She will point you to the stairs. It is a small museum above the restaurant, but the artifacts are of high quality and are extremely well displayed. I am pretty well read on Samurai culture and I still learned quite a bit. I do not think you will be disappointed. The museum is free. Parking is free. I did not patronize the restaurant (or bar), though walking even a few steps through it incited severe temptation -- the food smelled fabulous even though I had eaten just before I left for the museum! I would also note, it is a small, intimate museum, groups larger than three or four would not be recommended." - Cinquefoilr

"Small and intimate exhibit. It’s actually located above a restaurant which is interesting to find but once you’re inside you’re transported to a beautiful different place in time. Great artifacts of the culture and time of graceful warriors." - JaneeMichelle
