Nobu
Nobu doesn't make a lot of noise, but its presence in Dallas puts us on a super-glitzy list of Nobu cities that includes Las Vegas, London, Monte Carlo, and Dubai. And don't forget, Nobu's splashy opening party in 2005 was attended by Robert DeNiro; dropping that in your casual dinner conversation will make you sound plugged-in. The atmosphere feels very James Bond, and international jet-setters know that nothing says good sushi like Nobu's roll filled with lobster for a cool $29. The surprises on the menu are the dozen desserts, with selections such as milk-chocolate miso brûlée with vanilla ice cream, candied pecans, and cappuccino foam.
