Restaurants in or around McKinney, TX
 
I would like to buy a gift certificate/card for a nice restaurant in the vicinity of McKinney for friends who live there. High end, if possible and no chains.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

thats kind of a catch 22, because usually gift cards are associated with chain restaurants. your typical mom & pop diner isnt going to feature gift cards. one restaurant comes to mind, that im sure you may enjoy in mckinney..called "Ruby Tuesday". There is only 2 of them in the whole Dallas/Fort Worth greater area. The other one is in Bedford.

Um, Ruby Tuesday is just like Bennigan's, Chile's, etc. and not exactly high end!

If they like fish, there is a nice restaurant called Rockfish. They have good food. I believe they are now a chain. They have several restaurants in the DFW area and in Austin. They also have a few other dishes besides fish, but fish is the main dish.

Chanke,

Are you sure you don't mean Bonefish?

I haven't been to one because I don't like fish. But have heard that it's really good.

Ignore my post, there is indeed a Rockfish and no Bonefish in Texas.

Sorry.

Jaspers. It's in Frisco, which is a few minutes away from McKinney, but I'd drive pretty far if someone gave me a gift card to Jasper's. The food is great.
