There’s nothing cookie-cutter in the group of Harwood restaurants, including Stillwell’s. The steakhouse, recently named to the Michelin Recommended List, offers a dining experience that stands out in the crowded Dallas steakhouse scene—a significant nod given the city’s numerous prime steakhouses. Nestled inside the Hôtel Swexan—a playful blend of Swiss hospitality and Texan charm—Stillwell’s pays homage to legendary Dallas rancher Hallie Stillwell.

The holidays have come and gone, and despite our best efforts to make Santa’s list, some essential items didn’t find their way under the tree. But let’s be honest—sometimes the best gifts are the ones you choose for yourself. Two of our favorites are a Yeti soft-sided cooler and a new WiFi cooking probe from ThermoWorks that we’ll be keeping close at hand all year. We love the Yeti Hopper Flip 12 soft-sided cooler. Available in vibrant, eye-catching hues, it’s easy to spot in a sea of gear.

Uchiko has opened in the Legacy West complex in Plano. A sibling to the acclaimed Uchi, Uchiba and Loro restaurants, Uchiko’s menu emphasizes smoky, bold flavors and dishes cooked over an open flame. The expansive menu features nearly 100 offerings, including a 10-course omakase tasting showcasing items like hot rock wagyu and grilled sea bass. Yes, there’s sushi and sashimi on the menu, but they take a back seat to whatever’s cooking on the wood hearth.
