The Got Weekend take
Why go
Gemma is Dallas' neighborhood bistro on Henderson Avenue, serving comfort food inspired by France, Italy and beyond in a warm, intimate setting. The dinner menu stars bistro favorites, a butcher's corner and plats du jour, served in the dining room, at the bar or on the patio. It has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in both 2024 and 2025 and a James Beard nomination for Outstanding Hospitality. The bar runs half-off oysters Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 6:30 PM and again from 9 PM on — the move for a weeknight date that wants the food without the full splurge. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday.
