Welcome to the official website of The Law Reviewers.  We're two lawyers from Dallas, Texas who write restaurant reviews for the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers' monthly newsletter, The Dicta, and for DFW's hyperlocal news site, PegasusNews.com. 

We wanted to give all of cyberspace a way to check out our reviews and find out more about the Dallas restaurant scene.  So, check out our blog (we know, that's SO 2004) where we dish on the state of Dallas restaurants and anything else we feel like writing about.

Coming soon... more reviews and lots o' cool stuff so look out!

Victor, Victoria
Times are tough, but The Law Reviewers have your back.  We pitted two inexpensive downtown lunch options -- hole-in-the-wall Tex Mex vs. glitzy hotel -- against each other so you didn't have to!

Red Sonia
Anthony's wife, Sonia, had nothing to do with us reviewing Red India Bistro, but, darn it, we had to work in a reference to that ridiculous Bridget-Nielsen-rips-off-Conan movie somehow!

Hey, Vern's!
For great, down-home cooking like your Mom never made, look no further than Vern's Kitchen.
