If you are looking for a romantic, intimate dinner for you and that special someone, look no further than York Street. Immediately upon being seated, we were greeted with warm hand towels, bowls of almonds and olives, and a glass of complimentary white sherry. These little extras were just the thing to get us settle us in while we perused the diverse menu that changes daily. We were plagued with indecision - everything looked delicious. We soon found out that we were right.

We started with deliciously rich foie gras, which was served with a cranberry reduction and tiny croutons. Additionally we ordered four perfectly presented Cushing Bay oysters that were small, sweet, and light years beyond what you would find at the typical raw bar.

Not quite ready for our main course, we split a perfectly proportioned order of steamed mussels and clams, which were attractively combined in one dish. As we quickly devoured them, we discovered the sauce-soaked bread hiding underneath – a good thing since it kept us from impolitely using our spoons to savor the broth.

The main courses are extremely varied, with everything from scallops to sweetbreads; however, after much thought, we chose the rabbit and the sturgeon. Even as an avid a seafood lover, I have never even seen this fish on any menu anywhere. What a great surprise to find that it is one of the most deliciously marbled whitefish that I have ever tasted. The rabbit was luscious as well, falling off the bone and perfectly accompanied with quince and East Texas peas.

Each dish is listed with wine recommendations by the glass, and we agreed with their choices each time.

Be aware that York Street is extremely small - seating only 40 - so be sure to make a reservation, especially since there is no place to wait for a table due to the compact floor plan. Mirrored walls help open up the space, and amusing black and white photographs dress the walls. Though the atmosphere and expert level of cuisine easily lends itself to stuffiness and pretension, York Street’s service is far from intimidating and overall quite welcome and friendly.

This place is so amazing. With a menu that changes almost daily, variety is the one word that describes York Street. This is not your plain vanilla type of place, instead there are choices such as lavender infused duck, and lime and cilantro trout. Though the place is very small and intimate, possibly the most intimate restaurant but I don't have much comparison, the wine list is great, and priced properly.

When we went there was a guy in a suit with an oxford shirt, no tie sitting at a table next to a guy that could have told me he was Billy Idol and I would have believed him (this guy was straight from the 80s).

We were told to make reservations though they were not required. However if you don't make reservations you better have a back up plan for dinner, just in case.

The atmosphere is fun with seating for 40. You pull up and think "this is it...?" then walk in and find the diamond in the rough. Since the place is so small they know who you are when you walk through the door. You are greeted with a warm wet towel, and a small glass of sherry (I thought of this as a way to cleanse your hands and pallet from the outside).

This is THE place to propose, celebrate a special occasion, or enjoy some of the most amazing food Dallas, or Texas for that matter, has to offer.

Enjoy

Had lunch there with a friend a couple of weeks back and Sharon did herself proud once again. It was my first time at the lunch hour and the relaxed pace was nice. Just like lunch is short and sweet, so will this comment be.

Go -- any time, any day. There's enough written about the food elsewhere that I don't need to describe what I ate.

I was not recognized either, because I'm not the Bill that left town recently. I'm the other Bill. And always remember, if your name is Bill, and you are ever recognized, tell them Bill is not a name -- it's what a duck picks its butt with. That'll stop 'em cold.

Now, go to York Street!
