Below are some of our favorite spots to help get your visit off to a great start! They also happen to be some of our first date locations…

1st date: Drinks at Apothecary

Speakeasy where Jared and Katie met!

2nd date: Drinks at the W Hotel Bar*

This was the date that Katie originally cancelled. Jared was temporarily living at the W Hotel during home renovations. (Katie cancelled due to the location, not because of Jared.)

Fortunately, Katie’s mother and sister ultimately convinced her that she shouldn’t have cancelled. Jared and Katie proceeded with the date and the rest is history!

*Still not recommended.

3rd date: Regines Lounge

Cocktail lounge with live music and small plates. After Regines, Jared and Katie ventured down the street for a night cap at Clifton Club.

4th date: Georgie

Where Jared and Katie shared their first meal, followed by a post-dinner drink at Mister Charles (our venue for Saturday night!)

5th date: Javier’s*

A Dallas classic! The Cigar Bar is a must before or after dinner.

*The patio at Javier’s was also the first restaurant where Jared, Katie and Melrose later dined together.

6th date: Maison Chinoise

Next door to Regines Lounge (above)

7th date: Anchor Sushi Bar

Great indoor bar and outdoor patio!

We would be remiss not to mention Taverna, as we dine here almost weekly with Melrose. She recommends the “butter pasta!”

We also love Katy Trail Ice House during the day, our favorite outdoor patio when the weather is nice.
