General Manager | Multi-Concept | Dallas

Overview

Our client is crafting a new neighborhood establishment that is equal parts chic restaurant and bar, gourmet sandwich counter, and curated market. Think elevated European-American bar food, paired with cocktails mixed professionally, and a wine program that’s as savvy about Bordeaux, as it is excited about today’s emerging vineyards.

The adjacent specialty market will inspire discovery, while the evening transforms into a neighborhood restaurant with high-touch service and unreasonable hospitality. This unique dining experience aims to set a new standard for the Dallas restaurant scene, offering an unparalleled blend of elements that redefine expectations.
