Anchor Sushi Bar in Dallas Pays “Homage” to Lure Fishbar in New York City | Eater Dallas

"A Dallas concept from Vandelay Hospitality and design firm Foxcraft that intentionally blends multiple references and pays overt homage to that New York original. The interiors reproduce elements like yellow-striped floors, similar chandeliers, identical bar stools, teak details, table lamps and carpet treatments (with some stools and red lamps sourced locally from a subcontractor), while also layering influences from Ralph Lauren visuals, James Bond cinematography, Terry O’Neill photography, the Upper East Side, Nobu Malibu and Sugarfish. The menu echoes the inspiration as well: dim sum plated with red sriracha dots and a burger crowned by an onion ring (their version uses wasabi cream and Thai chili aioli). The operators frame the result as a respectful, well-executed homage incorporating Vandelay’s signature touches—plaid carpet, chinoiserie, lacquered wood and brass fixtures—and many visitors have noted the similarities." - Courtney E.
