Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar

Despite its proximity to Victory Park, Saint Ann feels like a retreat within the city, with one of the prettiest patios in Dallas from which to enjoy an assortment of wine, beer, or cocktails. Try the Skinny Basil Lemonade, with Veev acai berry liqueur, agave nectar, basil, and lemon. The food doesn't always hold up to the surroundings, but it's hard to quibble when there's always a party going on. Desserts are made at nearby sibling, Mercat, and they are worth every calorie.
