Park Cities in Dallas Observer
Showing 177 - 198 of 232An interpretation of the Spanish mid-to-late afternoon nosh by serial restaurateur Alberto Lombardi (Toulouse, Cibus, Penne Pomodoro), this eatery offers diners excursions through Mediterranean regions beyond the Iberian Peninsula. Standard tapas like garlic shrimp get equal footing (eating?) with ham and cheese croquettes with spanikopita and a chicken tagine. House-made pastas and paella are also […]

A Dallas favorite is back, and this time, hopefully for good. Sfuzzi, now open in Knox Henderson, has returned for its fourth iteration.

Located in the urban sprawl of Southern Methodist University, Westcott Field’s massive expanse of green grass plays host to SMU’s men’s and women’s soccer teams. On non-game days you’ll spot plenty of students running the track that surrounds it (or just lazily walking and texting — hey, this is college). A state-of-the-art drainage system was […]
Owned by the gentlemen who brought you South Dallas’ swanky retro bar Cedars Social (a secret agent-themed upscale bar and restaurant), Smyth is a lush cocktail bar with a permeating ’70s vibe. Trained servers do not simply take your orders at Smyth – they seat you in one of the eight exclusive booths, which require […]
