Default Good places to eat DFW area?

Im looking for some good/nice places to eat in the DFW area. My GF and I will be spending the weekend there and will be catching the ballgame on Monday night. She likes Italian but anything else would be nice...

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

DFW is only about 100 miles across in every direction, might ask for something more specific The Rangers are in Canada Monday night so I hope you aren't planning on seeing them, unless of course you are planning on 2 weeks when the Yankees are in town.

from what i've seen, the bar 'scenes' are pretty much clustered in The Stockyards in FW (mostly western themed stuff), Sundance Square in FW (a mix of non-western themed stuff), and Deep Ellum in Dallas (lots of places for live bands, and also booty shaking places).

all 3 of those areas have tons of resturaunts too.

Go to Beltline Road in Addison....good stuff there.

I just at at Newport's Seafood and Steaks in Dallas, it was awesome, but about $25 / plate.

Also, anything recommended by www.guidelive.com is probably good.

Deep Ellum. It's a waste of time though, nothing like the movie or even their Vegas location. Three girls, one gets on the bar every once in a while with a water gun. Other than that it's a regular bar.

Sherlocks in Lincoln Square (right by the ball park) gets pretty crowded. Cheap drinks and it's proximity to UTA are factors here. You've also got Cowboys pretty close by if you want country music and lots of scenery. Tons of Tejano clubs in the area and several other small bars on Cooper (UTA factor again).

As for food the best French joint in town is right by Six Flags, http://www.cacharel.net/ It's not my bag but it's good none the less. The Rawlings actually at the Ballpark has really good food and you've got pretty much every other food establishment under the sun on Cooper St somewhere. You can also get to Grapevine pretty fast from there and they've got several other joints worth checking out.

If you want topless clubs there are tons of them by you

Mi Cocina is in Downtown Ft. Worth (about 5 minutes from Ballpark). Great food and awesome margaritas. Ask for the Mambo Taxi (but only have one or two if your driving ). Enjoy!

5 minutes at about 150mph maybe It's about 12 miles away and downtown. Good though and worth the drive. If you head West you've got lots to choose from. 4 day weekend is pretty funny then you've got several night clubs and dozens of food places.

Grand Lux Cafe in the galleria is good, The Cheese Cake factory, Trulucks Steak and Stone Crab, Buena Braza. There are so many more that i cant remember right now, but pretty much anywhere you go you will find decent restuaraunts in the DFW area.
