Guest House Opens in Dallas This Week
by Andrew Chalk
I wrote previously that Guest House, the elevated dining and entertainment concept from RDM Hospitality, was coming to Dallas. The opening date is now firm at November 18th. I recently got a better fix on the menu and the location at a media event.
The place is the old Ruth’s Chris location in Uptown on Cedar Springs. However, it has been totally redecorated and is much lighter and brighter. Designed by John Sofio, founder of Built Inc., the space pairs a signature scent with acoustics engineered for conversation and shifts from dinner into a livelier social atmosphere as the night goes on.
The menu might be described as New American favorites. Think of Spicy Rigatoni, Steak Tartare, Wagyu Pastrami, Chicken Tenders, Parmesan-Crusted Filet Mignon, premium steaks, a raw bar and caviar service. In addition to the menu found at the other three branches of Guest House (in Austin, Las Vegas and Scottsdale) there will be specialties for Dallas announced later.
Corporate Executive chef is Todd Mark Miller (formerly of STK, Stephen Starr’s Barclay Prime).
As well as a respectable wine list Guest House also specialises in upscale cocktails including Tugley Woods, Magic Mushroom and the brand’s espresso martini, joined by a new martini program debuting in Dallas.
My faves: Appetizer - Hamachi Crudo. Entrée - Sher Farms Wagyu Beef.
Hours: Sunday through Thursday, 4 to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 4 to 11 p.m.
Reservations: Here for parties of up to six. For larger parties and private dining inquiries, contact info.dtx@welcometgh.com.
