For those of you who like to eat in Dallas (or in general) as much as I do, Taverna will be one of your top picks. I decided I should eat at a restaurant a few times and try multiple menu items before blogging about it. After a few great experiences, this past weekend was the icing on the cake, and I am officially sold on Taverna.
Taverna is an Italian restaurant located on Knox and nestled between trees and houses. The adorable house is small and intimate with a patio for outside dining. If you live in Dallas, than you know the importance of an outside patio (especially during brunch hours). The menu features multiple classic Italian dishes with my favorites being the Parmesan cheese and truffle oil risotto (Risotto al Parmigiano All' Olio Tartufato) and the seafood pasta (Fettucine Frutti Di Mare). The pizza at Taverna is also outstanding, and I recommend the Pear and Gorgonzola pizza which is almost like eating the most delicious dinner and dessert at the same time :). The Margherita pizza is great too if you prefer something more simple.
I have yet to mention the greatest thing about Taverna by far: brunch. Taverna has a wide variety of options on the brunch menu that are all very affordable, and you can get $1 each mimosas or peach bellinis with your meal during brunch! I recommend the Ham and Gruyere cheese omelet or the Taverna Frittata (it changes each day). I promise you cannot go wrong with $1 mimosas no matter what you order for brunch.
And for those of you who live or travel to Austin or Ft. Worth, Taverna has locations in both of these cities as well!

Yao Fuzi
After months of deciding what restaurant I wanted to write about next (obviously), I am back! This time I will blog more frequently with a variety of restaurants; I promise!
As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of Asian food and have found the perfect place for you. Although this place may force you to venture out of the Uptown "bubble," it is definately worth the trip. Yao Fuzi has incredible food, great service, and the perfect ambiance for a date night or a fun dinner with friends.
Yao Fuzi is great for any appetite because there is a variety of Asian fusion type menu items. Yao Fuzi takes reservations (major plus!), but if you are stuck waitng, there is a great (but small) bar area to enjoy a varity of martinis and sake. I recommend combining the two and ordering a Sake-tini if you are indecisive like me.
Now it's time for the most important details: the food of course! My favorite appetizer is the Yao Five Spiced Spare ribs and the rock shrimp and pork potstickers. For the main course, my two favorite dishes are the chicken and cashew nuts and the Yaki Udon noodles. I have tried almost all of the main courses on the menu and I haven't found one that wasn't amazing. Yao Fuzi serves all of the traditional dishes you would expect, in addition to some unique options such as a Seafood Clay Pot, Lamb with Scallions, and Shanghai Style Lobster.
In addition to a great dinner menu, Yao Fuzi has lower prices for a majority of their menu items for lunch and the lunch price includes soup and a spring roll (amazing deal!). I know Yao Fuzi will not disappoint if you are ever in the mood for some Asian food.
Happy Eating :)
