What better way to celebrate graduation than treating yourself to a well-deserved dinner? Get ready to splurge because it’s time to celebrate.

1. Fachini
Pasta lovers; this one’s for you. Serving up old-school Italian dishes, Fachini boasts authenticity and comfort. The upscale Italian eatery is relatively new but the 100-layer lasagna is taking Dallas by storm. Be sure to book in advance to get dining room seating.

2. Al Biernat’s
An oldie but a goodie. What better way to celebrate graduation then with a night at one of the most well known steakhouses in Dallas. Enjoy carefully selected wine and toast fellow SMU students who are bound to be dining with their families- the steak isn’t so bad either.

3.Town Hearth
Feeling fancy? Town Hearth’s swanky atmosphere and decadent menu don’t disappoint. Menu offerings range from pasta to steak. With a ’74 Ducati Sport listed as a “Primo side” for a mere 75k, there’s truly something for everything. Don’t forget dessert. The chocolate cake is the celebratory indulgence you deserve.

4. Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck
Take your graduation dinner to new heights. What better way to celebrate than 560 feet up at the top of Reunion Tower? The floor-to-ceiling windows and incredible view pair nicely with the contemporary Asian cuisine. Eat on the earlier side or head to the bar for a drink before dinner to watch the sun set.
