Since it opened more than 20 years ago, the revolving restaurant atop Reunion Tower has been a must on the list of places to take visiting out-of-towners. In its heyday, it was also a chic destination for hip locals. Having suffered some mood swings in the intervening years, Antares is enjoying a renaissance. Fifty floors up, the view of the Dallas skyline has always been exquisite. With a kitchen revamp, now the food is as well. Plan to enjoy your meal over the course of an hour or two. It takes an hour for the restaurant to do a complete revolution and you'll want to savor both the food and the view. Smoked salmon and Brie terrine, served with chive creme fraiche ($9) is a tempting beginning. Tantalizing entrees include grilled filet of beef and garlic sauteed shrimp served with wild mushroom risotto and Shiner Bock Beer sauce ($32) or nut-crusted salmon with mashed potatoes, fennel slaw and blackberry-vodka sauce ($24). After your meal, retire to the Dome Lounge for an after-dinner cocktail. And on Sundays, suck down mimosas at Antares' impressive champagne brunch buffet -- Gretchen Goetz
