    If they are coming in from LA check with the secretary that they aren,t free range, gluten free vegan tree huggers before making arrangements to go to a steak house.

    Ledbetter pig guts tacos should be pretty entertaining.

    The Gaylord Texan? Would qualify as both the nice hotel and the nice restaurants. It's in Grapevine.

    What were you expecting? Miataportajon IS the target demographic for the Gaylord: families with small children. "Oooh, look at the pretty lights!"

    Seriously, this is a big boy conversation, not "what do you like to do in DFW?"

    +1 on Stephan Pyles, but it's hard for me to recommend a restaurant where the owner names it after himself...but only the name. If it were "Stephan Pyles' Kitchen" no one would laugh at him.
    Javier's is pretty good and classy, Javier always has half the Ferrari club over at all times.
    La Duni is decent
    It's a shame York Street closed, it was the king of all restaurants.
    The French Room is good but "hey everyone, this place is French!!!"
    This is all I can think of now.

    I'll still take my unfortunate animal tacos and boiled pig noodle soup over the fancy places. I did my time in fine dining. BTW, do not go to Meddlesome Moth, may that place burn in hell for all eternity.

    Hey, I take the girls I'm extra interested in there.... and.... it usually ends with me getting laid. Lol.

    How about Chuck E Cheese? I especially like it there. That is.... when I get enough quarters.

    The Gaylord is a big step up from the trailer park meth lab. Good for you.

    Try a meal at Reata's Ft Worth before a trip to Billy Bob's.

    Do they like cars? Let the boss run your car in an Autcross event if available?
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    That's not exactly a professional suggestion. That's something you do for your buddy coming into town, not an executive you have a business relationship with.
    ...and across the line.

    Not sure I agree. Depends a lot on the client.

    what part of town are they coming to? i've been dragged all around cities before where someone wanted me to see "everything" and that's a beating as well. you may want to focus on places close to the reason they are coming and work from there. good suggestions so far, but i'd throw Bob's in there as well. always a consistent fav of our clients.
