RESTAURANT NEWS


Openings

La Zaranda has opened in North Dallas, specializing in seafood and Mexican cuisine. The menu includes dishes such as lobster tacos and blue crab enchiladas. La Zaranda, 5000 W Belt Line Rd. Ste. 850, Addison, TX 75254, 972-866-8900.
 
Restaurants-America is getting into Dallas in a big way. The Chicago-based company owns a half-dozen chains, two of which it's launched in Dallas. Primebar, a well-dressed sports bar, opened in September on Cedar Springs in the space that was once Arcodoro-Pomodoro. Now comes its corporate sibling, Townhouse Kitchen + Bar, a mainstream spot reminiscent of Houston's, though with a more casual atmosphere and more TVs. Lobster roll sliders are the signature dish, along with lemon-rosemary chicken, pork loin and Cajun-rubbed New York strip steak. Townhouse will take over the highly visible space once occupied by the dearly departed Sushi Samba. Townhouse Kitchen + Bar, Galleria Dallas, 13350 Dallas Pkwy., Dallas, TX 75240, no phone.

Stephan Pyles to Open Restaurant in Uptown Dallas
Stephan Pyles will open a restaurant in Uptown Dallas, in the new 17Seventeen office tower at 1717 McKinney Avenue. The new restaurant is being described as "modern Texas cuisine with an urban ranch ambiance," with elements of Southern, Mexican and Cowboy cuisines --- very Star Canyon, no? It will feature a wood-fire grill, taco bar, and margarita/martini bar. It's slated to open in spring 2012 for lunch and dinner, plus Sunday brunch. This will be Pyles's third restaurant; he already has the eponymous Stephan Pyles and Samar By Stephan Pyles, both located in downtown Dallas near the Arts District.
