We are looking for a delicious place to have a nice dinner. Less than $75, but more than $40. We only eat out one time a month to save up for something really special. We don't drink alcohol so we won't be taking that into consideration.
Are you thinking fort worth or dallas (or mid cities)? What type of food?
Our favorite "do-it-up" dinner is at Abacus (Dallas, Uptown). They have really unique food. The chef just won when he competed in Iron Chef back in Feb. and last time we were there, he was showcasing those recipes. My favorite thing to do is let the chef choose your 9-course meal, but its pricey ($90 pp). Stephen Pyles (Dallas, Downtown) has some unique offerings as well.
For seafood, both Trulucks (Dallas, Uptown) is good as is the Oceanaire (Dallas, Galleria).
Nice steak places are aplenty in Dallas. I like the atmosphere of Nick and Sam's (Dallas, Uptown).
My best source of restaurants is D Magazine. I'd suggest you pick up a copy, they have a good restaurant listing in the back of each magazine that you can refer back to over and over.
For Fort Worth, I'd recommend the Reata, and see if they can seat you on the roof in the glass dome. Another nice place is Duce, a Tim Love restaurant, and Iron Chef winner! Both are moderately priced, anywhere from $30-$60 a plate.
There's also a Truluck's in Southlake if that's the side of town you're on. I like the Melting Pot, I know there's one in Southlake and one in Addison. Plus, it's fondue so it's an interactive experience - fancy AND fun!
