NAMO
This cozy, intimate sushi bar seats just 16 people around one sleek square counter, making your dining experience extra special. The minimalist interior, light-colored wood, dim lighting, wicker-style chandeliers, and up-close view of sushi chefs at work make it one of the most special date night spots in Dallas.
Their menu stays true to traditional Japanese sushi, meaning no over-the-top fusion rolls — just outstanding Edomae-style nigiri, made-on-the-spot hand rolls and spectacular sashimi!
BAR COLETTE
Right next door you’ll find their sister concept, Bar Colette, with equally impressive vibes and a brand-new modern sushi menu. Step inside this small cocktail lounge and you'll see mosaic-style flooring, a gorgeous black marble bar, decorative arches filled with bottles, velvet bar stools and booths, and Texas-inspired artwork, all wrapped in moody, romantic lighting.
Plus, their drinks are next-level. Whether you're going for a classic like a dirty martini or French 75, or something adventurous like Sundher's Flip (made with rose, coconut milk, and egg in the cutest ceramic solo cup), this spot may become your favorite cocktail lounge!
LOCATION & DETAILS
Both of these fabulous spots are located in the West Village, right across the street from Violet Crown! Indoor reservations are going fast, but both spots also have heated patio seating if needed.
Pro tip: If you can, try to grab a table inside– the design and aesthetics are absolutely breathtaking!
Who’s adding this duo to their Valentine’s plans? Tag your sushi date and make a res before they’re gone!
