    If you like to stay on top of the newest restaurant openings in Dallas-Fort Worth, then you're pretty busy these days, because they are coming at a rapid clip. As a matter of fact, five restaurants have opened in February.

    Here are five restaurants to check out for those who must know what's new.

    GoGo
    Airy takeout spot in the Decorative Center at the corner of Oak Lawn Avenue and Hi Line Drive is now open. Go Go is the latest concept from Master of the Universe Tim Headington, and joins a campus with sister restaurants Wheelhouse, a gastropub, and Sassetta, an Italian restaurant, also owned by Headington. The menu includes pre-packaged salads and sandwiches in a refrigerated area as well as freezer case stocked with lasagna, meatballs, and gelato. There's also a daily assortment of pastries, breakfast tacos, granola and yogurt, roasted pear oatmeal, and avocado toast from Sassetta; and espresso drinks with Counter Culture Coffee.

    Layne's Chicken
    Baby chain from College Station has opened its first area location in Allen, at 102 Central Expy., in a former Pollo Tropical space at the southwest corner of McDermott Drive. Layne's is an A&M haunt founded in 1994, nearly identical to Louisiana chain Raising Cane's. It specializes in chicken fingers, which you can get in a plate, in a sandwich, or in a bucket. Other items on the very short menu include crinkle-cut fries, potato salad, and Texas toast. A plate combines all those things: chicken fingers, potato, and Texas toast.

    Mamoun's Falafel
    Concept from New York's Greenwich Village uses authentic Syrian recipes, in a menu starring the namesake falafel, plus shawarma, hummus, baba ganouj, and baklava. Founded by Mamoun Chater in 1971, the concept is now carried on by his four sons, who have continued to uphold their reputation for having the most authentic, flavorful falafel. They've expanded the concept to New Jersey, Connecticut, Chicago, Atlanta, Northern California — and now Dallas, where it will open at 3839 McKinney Ave., in Dallas' West Village, on February 10.

    Uchiba
    The former Top Knot is now Tyson Cole's Uchiba, combining "Uchi," which means house in Japanese, and "Ba," the word for bar. The updated space has a sushi bar and yakitori grill. Familiar menu items from Uchi will appear on the Uchiba menu, alongside new offerings.

    Zaytinya
    Mediterranean restaurant from famed chef José Andrés is now open at the Dallas Cowboys facility. It's Andrés' first restaurant in Texas and the second location of Zaytinya, a Washington, D.C. destination known since 2002 for its Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese cuisine. Its menu features shared plates, cocktails, and Mediterranean wines. Dishes include beef and lamb meatballs, pork belly souvlaki, spice-rubbed lamb kebab, beef and bulgur wheat kibbeh fritters, lamb rib chops, lamb shoulder, grilled whole boneless branzino, Rosewood wagyu ribeye, hummus, tzatziki, beet salad, chicken soup, seafood mezze, falafel, Greek olives, and more.

    New Vinifera Wine Lounge and Bistro debuts on Flower Mound’s Riverwalk

    A new wine bar and bistro has opened in Flower Mound. Called Vinifera Wine Lounge & Bistro, it's at 4120 River Walk Dr., in a space formerly occupied by a short-lived pizzeria, joining a string of bars overlooking the Riverwalk.

    Vinifera is from Jamie Creevy, a British native who moved to Dallas in 2007, and who has worked at concepts such as Henderson Tap House and Peppersmash Concepts. At Vinifera, he's partnered with Chris Kummer, a former US Marine with experience in nightclubs and restaurants, including Chill in Grapevine.

    Running the kitchen is executive chef Justin Samsill, who has worked at a wide range of high-end places including Knife, Town Hearth, The Mitchell, Smoke, and Hide. The menu has a big selection of seafood such as mussels, shrimp cocktail, squid pasta, and scallops, as well as steak au poivre, pasta bolognese, and trendy items such as steak frites and a smash burger, with entrees ranging from $19 to $35.

    Vegetarian options include an unusual rendition of ratatouille, in which vegetables such as eggplant and tomato are cut into slices and arranged like a pinwheel. There are also salads and harissa carrots with Greek yogurt.

    They describe the wine list as being "from all over the world", with 38 offerings by the glass. There are also cocktails.

    Between the indoor dining room and outdoor space, the restaurant seats about 130 people. It shares a private event room with next door neighbor Whiskey & Smoke.

    Riverwalk is the 158-acre mixed used development developed in 2017 and designed as a destination resembling the Riverwalk in San Antonio, with live music, events, and a range of eatery options including Whiskey & Smoke, Pennywise Pub, and Underdogs Burgers & Brews.

    “We are looking to be creative and pivot to keep the area fresh," Creevy says. “People are looking for live music, value, free events, we want to entertain the residents and the community at an inexpensive rate."
