It's not easy getting into Tramontana at the lunch and dinner hour. Not because the place is super-exclusive but because its location in Preston Center is just west of traffic hell. But once you're inside with a glass of peach tea in front of you and the daily special on the way, you'll be glad you made the trip. Dishes like the pear salad and penne alla vodka are adventurous enough to be exciting but have enough classic pizzazz that you feel comfortable with your order. The halibut is phenomenal, and the service is ideal because it's practically invisible. True, the décor looks a bit like someone's middle-aged Martha Stewart-watching mother went way over budget with the mural work, but you'll be so focused on the food that you probably won't notice. Be sure to finish with a cup of coffee before heading out into the University Park traffic fray--you're going to need it.

Let us admit something right off: As kids, we hated equations of any kind. We barely passed "math for athletes" in high school and found a loophole in college that allowed us to slide through four years...well, technically six...with nary a... More »
Here's an idea for a great new "reality" program: Take a group of malleable--in other words, trendy--people and tell them to find an upscale restaurant in Dallas that shuns crème brûlée. Survivors will next scour Oak Lawn, Knox-Henderson and West... More »
The bar at Tramontana seems more of an afterthought, consisting of a few worn chairs interrupting a walkway to the back dining area, a modest liquor selection--hell, we're not even certain they have a bartender. Their version of the Bloody Mary, however, makes you exceedingly happy that a certain English queen slaughtered scores of Protestants during her bloodthirsty reign. Where most overwhelm you with Tabasco or pepper, Tramontana treats the Bloody Mary as a tomato-based dish with a... More »
