Dallas’ Newest Restaurant Openings, Now on Resy

You won’t want to miss the Down Under panache and highly original seafood-and-vegetable-focused fare at this breezy dinner-only Lower Greenville restaurant from New Zealand-born chef Toby Archibald, last seen in charge of the kitchen at Georgie by Curtis Stone.

Bring your friends to this gorgeous Mexican/Latin American jewel in the Design District from the group behind The Charles and Sister, because the menu practically demands mixing, matching, and sharing — from ceviches and tiraditos, to vegetable plates and whole roasted fish.

Does Dallas need another Tex-Mex restaurant? Absolutely — especially when it’s opened by Jon Alexis, proprietor of the celebrated TJ’s Seafood Market, and features a vast streetside patio and a selection of ancho butter fajitas, along with first-rate versions of everything else you might expect.

After 23 years in the same location, restaurant veteran Mark Maguire’s easygoing upscale North Dallas neighborhood spot, known for its friendly service and international-tinged American menu, has moved to a new home a few miles down the road, with a second restaurant coming a bit further south in March — doubling Dallas diners’ pleasure.

Say hello to the first Texas outpost of L.A.’s celebrity-favorite pizzeria, owned by Candace Nelson of Sprinkles Cupcakes fame and actor Chris O’Donnell, with Naples-born pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi turning out “neo-Neapolitan” pies — including an acclaimed white “cacio e pepe” twist, with three kinds of cheese and cracked black pepper.

You might think you’re in a hip café in Melbourne or Sydney when you step into this bright, casual, friendly Aussie brasserie from the group behind New York City’s popular Hole in the Wall restaurants. Expect sausage rolls, sticky date pudding, and of course, smashed avocado toast — an Australian invention — for brunch.

Expect Chicago-style cracker-crust pizzas, classic tavern fare (mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders), and serious martinis at this offshoot of the Park Cities original, from the group behind such local favorites as Hudson House and Drake’s Hollywood.

Come hungry to this spaghetti western-themed restaurant — the fifth Sfereco in the Dallas area — with its cantina atmosphere, Clint Eastwood posters, and meatball-focused menu of hearty Italian fare, from sandwiches to pasta and pizza. Sfereco’s only-in-Texas signature dish: chicken-fried steak with meatballs and garlic broccolini.

Cheers to the dramatic rebirth of Hide Bar, formerly something of a neighborhood secret in Deep Ellum, but now a much-enlarged cocktail emporium (with food) in Lower Greenville, complete with a dazzling all-weather rooftop patio and a drink program based on housemade flavorings and mixes.

Because Veteran sushi chef Tomo Tamura retired after a long and distinguished career — then decided he wasn’t through, and opened this elegantly simple restaurant in Southlake, featuring rolls, nigiri, and an omakase kaiseki menu crafted with a master’s precision.

You’ll want to slide into one of the plush black leather tuck-and-roll booths at this tribute to culinary Americana from the group behind Hudson House and Drake’s Hollywood. Expect sushi, steak, and sandwiches, plus house specialties like slow-roasted Durango chicken with salsa verde.

Doug Pickering, former pitmaster at Ferris Wheelers Backyard and BBQ, brings smoked Texas Wagyu brisket, pulled Berkshire pork shoulder, an assortment of steaks, and a whole lot more to this friendly Snider Plaza destination, and ‘cue-lovers couldn’t be happier.

Because this is one elegant Cajun-Creole restaurant, courtesy of Michelle Carpenter of Zen Sushi fame. Wrapped up in fleur-de-lys wallpaper and stained glass windows, this New Orleans-inspired spot deals in excellent classics, from an excellent Louisiana charcuterie plate to Big Easy-worthy cocktails, but something else, too: vegan takes on Creole favorites, and produce from Restorative Farms, right here in Dallas.
