The Most Exciting Restaurant Openings for 2024 in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Dallas Morning News food writer Claire Ballor: "I love seeing people open small, independent restaurants in their own neighborhoods. There’s just a different type of energy found between the walls of such places, so I was particularly excited to see [the spot] open in East Dallas last month. Madison King, Russ Kirk, and Joey Fink are doing something pretty cool over there with their free-spirited and constantly changing menu. In a world where setting calendar invites to make dinner reservations months in advance has become common practice, a casual, come-as-you-are spot like this is a welcomed reprieve." Gabe Sanchez of Saint Valentine and Black Swan Saloon: "The opening of [the spot] opening excited me the most. The more quality over quantity restaurants we get in Dallas the better. I love the restaurants that press the envelope forward, but my favorite places to eat are classic comfort food places. This place nailed it." - Courtney E. Smith
