Dallas has many incredible spots for a New Year’s Eve dinner. Some have special menus for the holiday; others just are great spots for special occasions. If you are looking for the right spot to celebrate, we are sharing our favorite spots for a New Year’s Eve dinner in Dallas! Check them out!
? Nobu
Ring in the New Year with a taste of Japan at Nobu. Open since 2005, this innovative Japanese cuisine and the glamorous restaurant is perfect for any celebration. The artful dishes are picture perfect and taste just as goo!
Depending on the group you attend with, we recommend ordering some cold dishes and some hot dishes to share with your table. Cold dishes we love are yellowtail jalapeño, crispy rice with spicy tuna, and salmon nashi pear truffle. As for hot dishes, we recommend the rock shrimp tempura, scallops with jalapeño, and beef toban.
For a more unique dining experience, opt for the omakase — a meal consisting of dishes selected by the chef — which will allows you to experience the essence of Chef Matsuhisa’s cuisine with a multi-course tasting menu.
? Al Biernat’s
Al Biernat’s has been known for its upscale, high-quality food in Dallas for almost a quarter of a century, and it is an amazing choice for a New Year’s Eve dinner in Dallas! Both locations in Oak Lawn and North Dallas will offer fantastic service and incredible food.
Each dish is equally incredible, but if you aren’t sure what to get, we recommend the Spinalis steak frites or veal osso bucco. The air, land, and sea entree is a full dining experience with Texas quail, buffalo, tiger prawn, diver scallop, port wine foie gras demi. We can’t recommend Al Biernat’s enough!
? Eataly
Though they haven’t announced plans for a New Year’s Eve menu, Terra by Eataly is a perfect place to celebrate. This spot is located on the third floor of the NorthPark Center and is centered around the wood-burning Italian grill where the chefs cook seasonal ingredients to perfection.
Not sure what to order? We recommend any of their pasta dishes or the Fornello Pugliese, a selection of grilled Pugliese-style skewers inspired by the southern Italian region. All of their delicious options will be perfect for a New Year’s Eve dinner in Dallas!
If the weather is fair, consider dining on the outdoor terrace for the chance to spot firework shows from afar.

For your entree, dig into jalapeno salmon bearnaise, miso-glazed seabass, South African lobster tail, and more! Complete your meal with something sweet — carrot cake, chocolate malt cake, key lime pie, or baked Alaska!
