Not to be confused with The Place at Perry's (see below), Perry's is a new addition from Houston that's conveniently located right across from the Art's District. They've spent over 30 years perfecting their famous (gigantic) pork chop. Try to save a little room for one of their many desserts served a flambé tableside.

A charming, family-owned steakhouse with an atmosphere that's chic without being stuffy. Their steaks are great, but that's just the start. Their crab cakes are perfect, the wedge salad's phenomenal, and for brunch it doesn't get better than their Filet Benedict with a cabernet-poached egg.

Dallas, TX 75201
