The @Riverwalkflowermound is getting an upgrade! U The @Riverwalkflowermound is getting an upgrade! Under new management (River Walk F&B), 5 new restaurants are taking over the area this season. The new dining concepts include a brick-oven pizza shop, family-oriented sports restaurant, coffee and gelato bar, a smokehouse and an English pub. We got a first look at Underdogs Burgers & Brew (formerly Scout). This family-friendly sports restaurant features a large indoor and outdoor kids play area, games for the big kids (that’s us!), plus plenty of TVs showing the latest games. Burgers are the star of the show, using 100% Texas Wagyu Beef from HeartBrand Beef. Plenty of burgers make up the menu, plus wings, sandwiches, salads and a kids menu. Everything in this scratch kitchen is made fresh, including a variety of house-made sauces for wings and burgers. We ordered: ➡️ Espresso martini and a Cosmo ➡️ Bacon queso dip with bacon-onion jam ➡️ Over the Top burger (mac n cheese, bacon) ➡️ The Underdog signature burger (sweet potato spirals and roasted poblanos, white American cheese, green onion jam) ➡️ Carrot cake, chocolate brownie sundae, Gelato, lemoncello *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #riverwalkflowermound #flowermoundtx

2022 was a great year for @durohospitality and the 2022 was a great year for @durohospitality and their 2023 is looking to shine even brighter. We visited their newest concept @elcarloselegante and we’re already booking another reservation. This upscale Mexican restaurant features family-style plates, from fresh seafood bites to bright salads to elegantly grilled proteins. The main character though is their selection of masa dishes. They are one of the few restaurants with an in-house corn program, with processing beginning early in the morning to produce masa ready for service. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully crafted with mouthwatering sauces and lovely pickled accompaniments. Cocktails were creative and strong, their wine program features some incredible bottles from Mexico and South America, and their service is truly outstanding. A big shoutout to Josh who even offered to curate our dinner for us! #dallasfoodnerd #dallasdesigndistrict #dallasfoodie #newdallasrestaurant 📷: @livingmedium

Big news, y’all. Big. Huge. 💃 @prettywoman th Big news, y’all. Big. Huge. 💃 @prettywoman the Musical is now playing at @broadwaydallas @fairparkdallas! This adaptation of the 1990(!) classic that made Julia Roberts a star sticks close to the original, so if you loved the movie, you’ll love the show! We especially loved the inventive set design, including a fun interpretation of the famous opera box scene. 🗓️: January 24-Febuary 5 📍: The Music Hall @fairparkdallas 🎟️: broadwaydallas.org *hosted #broadwaymusical #prettywomanthemusical #dallasmusical #broadwaydallas 📷: @amypyen

A OMG-worthy oyster deal! 🦪 For a limited time A OMG-worthy oyster deal! 🦪 For a limited time, @islaandco is offering 12 east coast oysters PLUS a specialty or classic cocktail for just $12! The promotion is available for both brunch or dinner & is the perfect starter to your meal at this cute new Australian restaurant in @bishopartsdistrict. We paired the oysters with the East Side Spritz (gin, aloe, lemon, cucumber & sparkling wine) but their Espresso Martini was also 👍! We were also impressed by the Blistered Brussel Sprouts & the Charred Octopus for apps. For an entree, try the Roasted Half Chicken, with ajo blanco sauce , delicata, fennel, pickled grapes & herbs. Super underrated! 🍗 PS: If you want to get that 🦪 deal, better hurry! It only lasts until the end of January! #hosted #oysters #dallasseafood #australianfood #dallasrestaurants #dallasnewrestaurant #dallashappyhour 📷: @amypyen & @nellit16

Ohmigod you guys! We saw #LegallyBlonde the Musica Ohmigod you guys! We saw #LegallyBlonde the Musical at @attpac! 💝👩‍💼⚖️ We put on our cutest pink outfits & hit @haywireuptown for dinner before the show. They have a great happy hour with some great bites & a frozen Texas Tea for $6! Highly recommend the pork belly burnt ends—so good! We also loved the Blackened Catfish & Gulf Shrimp on jambalaya. Yum! Legally Blonde is a charming update on the Reese Witherspoon classic, hitting all the key moments from the original (yes, of course there’s a “Bend & Snap” song). Overall, they did a great job adapting the spirit of the movie. What, like it’s hard? 💁‍♀️ *hosted #legallyblondethemusical #dallasmusicals #dallashappyhour #dallasfoodnerd #attpac 📷: @amypyen
