Editorial Review

We're not saying this is the haute spot where another women wooed Ryan Phillippe away from Reese Witherspoon. But Phillippe was apparently spotted noshing in this dark, minimalist hideaway with a "companion," while in town filming a movie. Choose from sushi and sundry other Asian concoctions, some with Texas flair. Japanese cowboy steak, anyone? The sake selection is reputed to be the largest in the state, and the wine list is nothing to snort at.
