Escapade 2009

Promoted as the “Ultimate Latin Experience,” Escapade 2009 is one of the largest — if not the largest — Latin club in Dallas that’s not housed in a renovated big-box store.

Fadi’s Mediterranean Grill

A sumptuous array of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods greets you at Fadi’s, from lamb shanks that melt off the bone to roasted chicken, grilled-to-order kebobs, stews, and numerous fresh salads, side dishes and desserts.
