After 15 years of handing over keys, I've learned that the celebration meal matters. Here's where I take my clients across North Texas:

Dallas Classics:

Knife Bishop Arts - For the luxury condo buyer who appreciates craft Pecan Lodge - When they're moving from out of state and need "real Texas BBQ" Town Hearth - Perfect for the family who just bought their forever home

Collin County Celebrations:

The Star in Frisco - Rangers fans and families love the atmosphere Harvest Seasonal Kitchen (McKinney) - Farm-to-table for the health-conscious Sugarbacon Proper Kitchen (Plano) - Comfort food with a twist

Grayson County Gems:

Two Wolves Coffee (Sherman) - Morning closings call for great coffee The Spot Restaurant (Sherman) - Local institution for 40+ years Lago Vista Restaurant (Pottsboro) - Lake views for the lakefront buyer

Denton County Discoveries:

Barley & Board (Denton) - Craft beer and artisan food Paschall Bar (Denton) - Upscale dining in a historic setting Roosters Roadhouse (Denton) - Live music and local flavor

Pro Tip: The restaurant you choose says something about how you see the community. I match the vibe to the client and their new neighborhood. It's not just about the food – it's about helping them envision their new life.
