Food Scene

Desert crepes. Dinner crepes. Breakfast crepes. This place has it all! Whisk is owned & operated by a native Frenchman who really knows how to throw down in the kitchen! Well worth the visit. (The wines are pretty amazing as well...several are brought back by the owner directly from France and thus aren't really available anywhere else in town!)

It's in the name: go to the Flaming Cheese. Order the Flaming Cheese. That's it. (There's also pretty great Greek entrees as well.)

Drinks & Nightlife

Grab a few drinks and settle in for some signature-style North Texas jazz. Check it out on a Monday to treat yourself to "The Funky Knuckles", a band that deftly layers classic jazz fusion with R&B, hip-hop, and yes, funk. No cover!

Classic jazz bar. Each night has a different style (from Coltrane to Frankie Beverly), and they also have an adjoining patio that features a DJ spinning some hits to dance to.
