THE DINING SCENE IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW. HERE ARE A FEW PLACES DISHING OUT SOME TOP HITS OF THE SEASON.
This one’s for the birds—having recently set up shop in Lakewood, this new culinary concept from Jon Alexis offers palette-pleasing dishes in a relaxed ambiance. A bonus is the sprawling patio, which patrons can enjoy on an auspicious day. Lucky for us, springtime in Texas is optimal for some patio fun.6221 E. Mockingbird Lane, birdieseastside.com

Sitting pretty on the East Side, this opulent spot features a cheeky assortment of signature sips, including the Hanky Panky, Espresso Martini, and the storied Señor Harvey Wallenbanger. What’s that, one might ask? You’ll have to visit to find out. “We invite our guests to step into a world of sophistication, nostalgia, and elegance unlike anything else in Dallas,” notes Briann Rutt, who founded the chic space with partners Justin Kallhoff and Jonathan Rosenberg. “You can come here to enjoy crisp martinis whether you are on business or want to enjoy a date night and sip on drinks before or after dinner or even skip dinner to enjoy bites and cocktails here.” 3314 Ross Ave., columbiancc.com
