Tango Room’s artsy atmosphere
No resto speaks to culinary artistry quite like Tei-An. Savor a sumptuous cocktail paired with house specialty soups and fresh, authentic Japanese soba noodles by chef and owner Teiichi Sakurai. This stylish hot spot blends rich woods and glass with concrete, stone and steel for an effortless Tokyoinspired ambiance. We recommend a seat at the exciting soba counter offering a front-row view to the stunning stone garden. 1722 Routh St., #110, tei-an.com
Tantalizing cuisine awaits at Tango Room.
Continue your artistic adventure at Tango Room, where an Andy Warhol original sits in the entryway amid romantically soft lighting and deep burgundy hues. Sample a classic craft cocktail or choose from the expertly crafted wine list—think California cabernets, serious vintages and more. Menu highlights include seared foie gras with pear tarte tatin and pink peppercorn; oysters with smoked roe mignonette and Tango cocktail sauce; and, of course, a fine selection of New York strips and filets. 1617 Hi Line Drive, Ste. 250, tangoroomdallas.com
