Dining room at Stephan Pyles, Dallas, TXChef Christopher Short is now behind the burners at this chic Arts District eatery after the departure of Matt McCallister. With chef-proprietor Stephan Pyles still in the picture, expect a continuation of the bold East-meets-West cuisine that has held the attention of diners since 2005. Start off with a jalapeño-passion margarita and a tamale tart appetizer with roast garlic custard, peekytoe crab and smoked tomato sauce. An assortment of ceviches is a must-have for any table; we like the sea bass with avocado and tomatillo and the salmon with tart tomato, green olive and capers. The poblano-and-Asiago soup is a velvety concoction of mild peppers and a nutty, slightly salty cheese topped with a shaving of scallop and tomato foam, a meal itself at lunch. The Southwestern Caesar is better than ever: fiery jalapeño croutons and nuggets of fried Parmigiano-Reggiano grace the heap of romaine lettuce with a classic anchovy-infused dressing. For the main course, go with one of the sizzling hunks of meat, like the smoked beef tenderloin or the rack of lamb permeated with a deep coriander cure. For dessert, try the fluffy cake-style donuts served with caramel custard and a mocha dipping sauce.
