I have been sitting on a nice bottle of cab for some time that I'd like to enjoy while someone else does the sweating. I thought it would go well with Charlie Palmer's cuisine but no dice there. Obviously I don't mind paying the corkage. Fri Oct 16 11:23:10 -0700 2009 159803 sike101 1 5108553 Try: http://www.gobyo.com/index_D.html This website has a pretty large Dallas BYOB database. I'd call to double-check before you go just in case. Fri Oct 16 12:15:41 -0700 2009 5108393 23782 Webra1 2 5143778 I was really looking forward to heading out to cowtown to try Eddie V’s (listed as a BYOB spot on that site) but alas, they don't allow it. I guess I didn't realize it was against TACB regs to for a full bar to allow BYOB. I couldn't believe it was only the Dallas market, since Craft NYC allows BYOB, but not Craft Dallas. Looks like some are trying to overturn that rule, but can't find any up to date news. My guess it that other places with full bars allow it, but just don’t publicize the fact. Probably ask the manager in person for the next time you visit. I'll have to try Amici, but I’ve got a Barolo in mind for that. What I want to carry is a big California cult cab, begging for a big steak, or new American. There is a notable prime steakhouse downtown that permits it, but my wife is a regular lunch diner there, so that's out.

Bring your best girl because it's a lovely, romantic restaurant. www.amicisignature.com Fri Oct 16 16:00:04 -0700 2009 5108393 138174 twinwillow 2 5109151 Cordon Bleu, the culinary school that is fairly new to Dallas, has a restaurant that is very inexpensive and allows BYOB.

Fri Oct 16 16:41:01 -0700 2009 5108393 57051 gavlist 2 5109668 Although a pleasant restaurant with nice food, it's very small and, very casual. Not what I would describe as being, "upscale". However, worth a try, regardless. Fri Oct 16 20:55:40 -0700 2009 5109207 138174 twinwillow 1 5110136 Yes I would agree Amici in Carrollton rocks.

Also Urbano Paninoteca (not upscale in feel, but generally upscale in food). Tue Oct 20 12:45:07 -0700 2009 5108393 117930 dg1873 2 5117811 I've been looking for an excuse to try Suze, thanks. Tue Oct 20 12:49:48 -0700 2009 5117788 159803 sike101 3 5118270 Be prepared to pay $25.00 for the corkage fee at Suze. I stopped going there years ago just because of the exorbitant corkage fee Gilbert Garza insists on charging. Believe me, Amici Signature is your very best bet for upscale dining with delicious food at very low corkage fee's. $4.00 I believe. More suitable food for a really good Cabernet. Tue Oct 20 15:35:50 -0700 2009 5117811 138174 twinwillow 1 5128826 I believe Eden is for sale.

Fri Oct 30 12:23:42 -0700 2009 5108393 1120435 PreeceDDS 2 5143720 Though about 560, since they are one of the few upscale places in town that do BYOB, but I just ate there last month. It was great though. Fri Oct 30 13:42:49 -0700 2009 5143518 159803 sike101
