Sister

Expectations were high when Sister opened in the former location of The Grape, a long-time Dallas staple. But the restaurant quickly developed a reputation for its cool interior, great service, and classic, hearty pastas. Make sure you try the pasta trio of wild “boaranaise,” the buckwheat lumache, and the clams vongole with garlic, white soy, and hijiki seaweed. It’s a great spot for a date and equally solid for a solo dinner at the bar.
