Thank God for patio weather in February! What a perfect time to enjoy happy hour with friends to kick start the weekend. Voted Best Patio Bar with a View, BarBarlment is the perfect place to enjoy a few beverages with while taking in the sites of the Dallas skyline. The BarBelmont patio is just off the lobby of the historic Belmont Hotel, a 1940s motor court designed by legendary architect Charles Dilbeck that has been renovated into a glam destination for visitors and locals alike. Owing to the Oak Cliff location, the crowd is eclectic and cool.
Split a Grilled Salmon Appetizer with friends for a healthy Happy Hour snack.

After enjoying a drink & taking in the site, head over to Smoke for handmade, homegrown local eats. Chef Tim Beyres was voted Best DFW Chef in 2010 and is constantly coming up with orignal unique dishes for the seasonal menus. Here are a few options to try that are on the lighter side, as well as my recommendations on how to order them to save on some calories:
