CORRECTION: Arthur's was opened in 1948 by Arthur Bates. Mohsen Heidari purchased the restaurant in 1988 and is the fourth owner.

One of the hardest working men in the restaurant business is finally back on his feet. Mohsen Heidari introduced Arthur's to Dallas more than 50 years ago and the restaurant became the place to wine, dine and dance. Two years ago, he closed the Doubletree location and settled into Addison. Four days after opening, lightning struck a transformer and the building burned to the ground. Heidari has now reopened Arthur's with the same dedication to sophistication and service that has become his trademark. The result? An elegant white-tableclothed dining room dimly lit by a spectacular crystal chandelier. A wall of tropical fish tanks separates diners from the intimate lounge where retro tunes like "Feelings" twinkle from the piano. A lobster starter served with the cold, sweet meat riding piggyback on the pink shell is accompanied by a delicious mustard aioli. A strip steak studded with peppercorns was cooked to perfection. Rainbow trout filled with lump crab would have delighted us more if it hadn't been wrapped with a thick strip of apple-smoked bacon. Service continues to be stellar. After dinner, we settled back with a chocolate souffle and tapped our toes to the music of the night. Thankfully, something old is new again.
