I am getting ready for my first trip to Dallas (I leave Wednesday), and I have a few food-related questions:

Has anyone eaten at Victor Tango's? I'm going to visit friends, and they want to try this place.

Any recommendations for lunch near the Dallas Museum of Art?

Budget isn't really an issue here, I am just hoping to get some insider knowledge. If there is a don't-miss spot, for food or otherwise, please let me know.

Thanks!

The Nasher Cafe (by Wolfgang Puck) at the Nasher Sculpture Center (next door to the DMA) is very good for soup, salad, and/or sandwiches. It's a casual spot to grab a bite to eat.

I love Rise for lunch or dinner. http://risesouffle.com/

Lots of choices near the museum:

Stephan Pyles is across the street and an excellent spot for a nice lunch.

Also, One Arts Plaza which is at the other end of the museum complex has restaurants, too:

Screen Door - excellent!
Dali Wine Bar - cute, fun place for lunch or drinks
Jorge's for Mexican

All walking distance if you don't want to move your car, too. If the weather is bad, I would drive from the museum to One Arts Plaza and valet the car.

As maryann mentioned, there is a cafe in the museum for convenience.

Lots of choices!

I've heard of Victor Tangos but have never eaten there.

Have fun!

Second all of Beach Girl's advice.

If you are back in the car, N across Woodall Rogers is the Crescent Hotel with Palominos that is good stuff at moderate prices.

Many thanks for all these great recommendations. I don't know how I'll choose from so many options, but my stomach is up to the task.
