I'm going to be there in mid-April for business and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good spot to eat.

Where's the midget when you need her?

There's some Monastery place she always talks about that sounds great.

I thought it was the Mansion at Turtle Creek?


Could be wrong, that's just what I remember her and JPR talking about.

Not high end stuff (expensive). I like seafood, steaks, ribs, chicken, etc.

I can't remember right off the top of my head where we're staying but I'll check.

Pappadeaux is pretty good seafood. They have some locations in other states but most are in Texas.

Go to Chuy's for awesome tex-mex.

Ruth's Chris is awesome steak, I hear, but kinda pricey. Not sure exactly, never been there.

Now that sounds interesting.

Pappadeaux is good seafood but overpriced; Chuy's is not good in Dallas but great in Austin, Ruths' Chris is the worst steakhouse in Dallas since Ruth died.


Mansion on Turtle Creek has lost its chef so I can't recommend it anymore.
