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
Transport to Wine Country at @dinesipandsavor in @ Transport to Wine Country at @dinesipandsavor in @shopsathv! 🍷 Sip + Savor was founded by FloMo couple Jenn and Scott who have a deep love for hospitality and Wine Country. Previously, Scott was behind the Whiskey Cake brand, and Jenn was an exec with a wine company. Their new concept is a fresh take at northern Cali food, wine and cocktails. We’re impressed by the locally sourced menu, big portions, deep wine list and beautiful decor! What we ordered: 🥂 Tropez Tart, Cherry Crusta with bourbon 🧀 Charcuterie board (bites of local cheeses, pickled veggies, and meats including pork belly and beef liver pate) 🥗 Winter Caesar Salad with chicken 🐟 Sea Bass 🍰 Strawberry cake with buttercream frosting - made in house Besides all the amazing food, stay tuned for wine tastings and dinners, and for the wine garden to open! 📍1201 Shoal Creek in Highland Village Closed Mondays *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #shopsathv #highlandvillagetx #dfwfoodie #localfood #supportlocal
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
