If the chew fits. Trend-setting restaurants worth stepping out to this month.

Clark’s Oyster Bar | Montrose
With its signature yellow striped awning, the beloved Austin-based oyster house now has an outpost in Montrose. Expect a buzzy-all-day atmosphere, a hip crowd enjoying fries, champagne and the catch of the day, and cleverly charming details down to the server’s belts and ceiling-to-floor tilework.
Annabelle Brasserie | Autry Park
The latest opening from Berg Hospitality, the French brasserie — which welcomes a well-dressed crowd with a friendly “Bonjour, Y’all” — has helped establish the stylish Autry Park development. The photo-worthy blooms dripping from the ceiling will change with the season, and the patio offers unmatched views.
Auden | Autry Park
Now open from chefs Kirthan and Kripa Shenoy, Auden utilizes local farmers market relationships for a weekly menu that honors Texas’ seasonal produce and the Gulf Coast cuisine of their hometown. Pay special attention to cocktails that celebrate the local bounty and the desserts – Kripa is a pâtissier.
Hudson House | River Oaks Shopping Center
Located next door to Brasserie 19, Dallas-based Hudson House also has locations in the Park Cities and Beverly Hills. Post up at the bar for happy hour martinis and bellinis, or make a reservation to work your way through lobster rolls, oysters and other East Coast-inspired fare.
