Bistro 115 is date-night dining, the place Waxahachians begin or end their night on the town. Of all the new restaurants in Waxahachie's downtown area, Bistro 115 is the nicest, all clinking wine glasses, low lights, sweeping views of the downtown courthouse and servers dressed in three-piece suits. Bound by blood and friendship, a trio of Ellis County locals — Michael Citron, his brother and chef Justin Citron and longtime Waxahachie restaurateur Muhammad “Mo” Hadzovic — opened the restaurant earlier this year, hoping to lure those burned out on long drive times.

“We wanted to offer something to Ellis County that you have to travel to Dallas or Fort Worth to get,” Michael says. “At the same time, we're still approachable for everyone. While we have servers in suits, you can come in and get a 10-inch pizza for $9 and a $5 glass of wine, or you're more than welcome to the $55 steak and lobster with a bottle of $200 Cannubi.”

You Gotta Try: Honey-glazed citrus salmon. “The salmon is sashimi-grade and it’s brought in on dry ice,” Michael says. “When our chefs filet it, you can literally smell the sea. It’s that fresh.”
