The team behind the Carbone restaurants that are now dazzling Dallas isn’t just about Italian. Their sparkling Sadelle’s in Highland Park Village is a New York deli — but hardly your typical one, which is why it stands out. Smoked salmon and sturgeon and deli sandwiches? Sure. But breakfast tacos, caviar, and Asian skirt steak, too.Sadelle’s is a modern ode to New York’s classic tradition of all-day dining. Since opening its first location in the heart of SoHo in 2016, the brand has reached iconic status thanks to its urbane, celebratory atmosphere and a menu of hits, including the best bagels in America. Among its many accolades, Sadelle’s was named an essential brunch destination by Harper’s BAZAAR and Cosmopolitan, and its sticky buns were ranked one of the Best Dishes of 2015 by The New York Times. Sadelle’s currently has outposts in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Paris, Boca Raton, and Dallas. The restaurant is named after MFG Co-Founder Jeff Zalaznick’s great grandmother.

    This place was incredible! The ambiance is very cool and is perfect for a night out. They even had a live DJ playing music, but it wasn’t overly loud. We had a group of 6 and had no trouble having conversations across the table. The featured cocktails were fun twists on classics that everyone loves. People in my group had the mule, old fashioned, espresso martini and the other featured martini. Everyone ordered seconds. Appetizers and food were delicious and come out quickly. We had the edamame, ahi tuna, and shrimp to start and then everyone ordered entrees. 10/10 reviews from the whole group! We will definitely be back!

    What a delightful brunch! Everything was delicious. I loved the shrimp creole over grits. My only complaint is that it was a huge portion— I brought home half, and am looking forward to it.

    We have been to Morton's Steak House Dallas twice for Christmas dinner. It was fantastic both times. Our server this Christmas 2024 was Henry and he was an exceptional server. Food was all delicious and the restaurant was beautiful and festive.
