Where do you take a Dallas native for her birthday when she’s been everywhere?

Alright Dallas, need some help here.

I’ve only been here about a year, but my girlfriend is born and raised Dallas and works in the restaurant/bar industry, so she’s basically been everywhere and knows everything.

Which makes this kind of difficult.

I want to take her somewhere for her birthday that actually feels special, not just another spot she’s already hit a bunch of times. She’s into sushi, loves a good steakhouse, and has a pretty solid palate overall. Thinking Dallas proper.

I’ve looked at places like Georgie, Uchi, and Nonna, which all seem great, but I honestly have no idea if those are played out to someone like her or still feel like a good birthday move.

Not trying to go completely insane on price, but also don’t want it to feel cheap.

What’s the move here if you’re trying to impress someone who already knows the whole Dallas food scene?
