Best Global Restaurants in Design District

I recently dined at JOEY Dallas, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The ambiance is chic and inviting, making it perfect for a casual lunch or a special night out. The chicken lettuce wraps were a standout starter—light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. They set the tone for the rest of the meal beautifully. The Wagyu beef carpaccio was simply divine, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, savory flavor that left us craving more. For my main dish, I tried the Mahi Thai, and it was incredible. The mahi was cooked to perfection, with a harmonious blend of Thai-inspired spices that created a delightful explosion of flavors. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and every dish arrived at just the right time. I highly recommend JOEY Dallas to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu!

Beautiful restaurant, excellent food & drinks, and wonderful staff. Walking distance to AAC. We will be back! Thank you!

Probably one of the best restaurants in Dallas I’ve had as far as their lack of pretension and their quality of food. Everything my vegetarian wife and I ate (I am not vegetarian) was fantastic. Standouts for us were the mushroom and egg appetizer, the crab eclair, and my striploin entree. Their house made bread is also fantastic (I even asked for extra but didn’t get any unfortunately!). Yes, it’s pricey, but for a nice dinner out you could pay the same or way more in this town and get food that’s not even half as good. Kudos to this chef and team.

The Mercury never disappoints! We always have fantastic food and incredible service. Tanner always makes us feel like we are at home...but someone else is doing the cooking and cleaning!

First time for our group to be here. Wonderful experience. Our waiter, Olivia, was attentive and friendly but not overly so. Everyone’s meal was well prepared and presented and tasted great. All expectations were met!
