    From salads to doughnuts, this week's dining scene roundup has a bite for everyone. Preston Center keeps looming as the center of the Dallas restaurant universe. And if you're looking for lunch, do we have news for you.

    The much-anticipated True Food Kitchen, the restaurant chain whose menu represents a collaboration between health and nutrition author Andrew Weil, M.D., and restaurateur Sam Fox, will open its first branch in Texas this summer in the Plaza at Preston Center at the southeast corner of Preston Road and Northwest Highway. Part of the Arizona-based Fox restaurant group, True Food is not a vegetarian place but they have tons of cool-sounding veggie items such as edamame dumplings, shiitake and tofu "lettuce cups," and a "TLT" with tempeh standing in for bacon. Also grass-fed steak, turkey burgers and craft beers.

    Speaking of the Plaza at Preston Center, it'll also get Sprinkles Ice Cream, an ice cream offshoot of the cupcake chain, opening next to Sprinkles Cupcakes in June. This will be first Sprinkles Ice Cream outlet outside of southern California. We are special. Sprinkles Cupcakes will also add its novel "cupcake ATM" concept this summer, a self-serve window that is restocked day and night with freshly baked cupcakes.

    Full Circle Tavern is a "modern pub" opened by caterers Jennifer Bonner and Lara Whittington in the South Lamar neighborhood, at 1319 S. Lamar St. According to the release, it has an extensive beer list, including the now-omnipresent local brews, plus sandwiches, comfort sides, veg-friendly items, and house-made chips with rotating flavors like truffle and bloody Mary.

    The Wine Poste is a wine retailer in the Design District from James Jordan and Matthew Thompson. Jordan worked for Red Coleman’s, Wine Market and More, and Dallas Wine Company; Thompson is a certified sommelier and wine writer. The Wine Poste does sales onsite and online, and will host in-store tastings and winemaker and celebrity chef dinners. If you buy online, shipping is only $5; and if you buy a case, you get 10 percent off.

    Salata Uptown has its grand opening on Thursday, April 18, when it will charge a mere $5 for all salads and wraps. It took over the space that was once Campagna Pizza.

    Houston-based Trentino Gelato, started by former software exec Marcello Kreindel, has begun distributing its gelato and sorbet to Dallas. For its launch, it collaborated on flavors with a quartet of "chefs": pop-up specialist David Anthony Temple, Oak pastry chef Sarah Green, FT33 chef-owner Matt McCallister and bartender Eddie "Lucky" Campbell. That is one fascinating lineup, and so are the flavors, including black garlic pistachio and caramel buttered popcorn. Find the gelato at Central Market stores.

    A doughnut shop called Glazed Donut Works will open in Deep Ellum in May, in the old Man Bites Dog production studio from former Man Bites Dog owner Darren Cameron. He told Eater he was inspired by the long lines at Voodoo Donuts in Portland, Oregon, because there is nothing more inspiring than a long line. Apparently he has not heard of Glazed Doughnut Cafe in south Arlington; otherwise he surely would not have taken its name? Flavors include the ever-popular bacon, but it will stand out by keeping late-night hours.

    Wicked Po' Boys finally opened its second branch in Preston Center, on Luther Lane. Menu is the same as the Richardson original, with charred oysters, beignets, and a slew of po' boys, including one with ham and eggs.

    MENU MANIA
    Hedary’s
    Mediterranean Restaurant in Fort Worth changed its lunch to quick-service, with build-your-own wraps ($6.50), plus the signature "Frarej" lemon and garlic chicken with roasted potatoes. For $9.95, get a sampler platter with choice of chicken, kafta, gyro or falafel, plus sides like tabbouleh, hummus, baba ghanoush, grape leaves and rice.

    Seems like only yesterday that Seasons 52 was announcing a "spring" menu. Now it's a new lunch menu. Seasons 52 is into menus. For lunch, there are now turkey wraps, tuna burgers, turkey burgers, and buffalo burgers with blue cheese, plus a trio of soft tacos with blackened mahi mahi, chimichurri steak and black bean.

    The Palm restaurant has a new lunch menu that gets you in and out in one hour. No more leisurely three-martini lunches. The menu introduces dishes that are easier on the wallet and the waistline, including sandwiches such as chicken and avocado and lobster BLT, filet mignon medallions, steak salad, and soup-salad-sandwich combos.

    Blue Mesa continues its special menu series with items created by Bolsa chefs Jeff Harris and Matt Balke. The theme is goat, with goat cheese and ham croquettes; chunky avocado dip with fennel, endive, grapefruit and goat feta cheese; goat ricotta tostada; goat tamale; and goat's milk cheesecake. The Bolsa menu is available at all Dallas-Fort Worth Blue Mesa Grills throughout April.

    Buzzy opening

    Buzzy Palladino's Steak & Seafood debuts in Preston Hollow after NYC raves

    One of Dallas' most anticipated restaurant openings of 2026 has happened: Palladino's Steak & Seafood, the steakhouse that became the toast of New York before it arrived in Texas, has officially opened in Preston Hollow.

    The restaurant from restaurateur Joseph Palladino opened Tuesday, June 16 at 5959 Royal Ln., in the former Spec's space at Preston Road and Royal Lane.

    The opening marks a return to Dallas for Palladino, an ex-NYPD police officer-turned-restaurateur known for concepts such as Nick & Sam's Steakhouse and the Coal Vines pizza chain.

    Palladino's Steak & Seafood is his newest creation, combining steakhouse, Italian, and seafood, particularly sushi.

    Palladino first announced the Dallas location in 2025, while simultaneously opening the original Palladino's Steak & Seafood inside New York's Grand Central Terminal. That restaurant quickly emerged as one of New York City's buzziest openings, earning praise from outlets including Eater, Forbes, and the New York Post, and drawing celebrity diners who gushed as lovingly as the critics did.

    The Dallas version is described in a release as "a modern steakhouse menu featuring prime cuts, impeccably sourced seafood, Italian-inspired dishes, refined sushi offerings, and elevated tableside experiences."

    Palladino has assembled a veteran team that includes executive chef Sam Hazen - whose résumé includes stints at Michelin three-star Le Gavroche, Tavern on the Green, and Tao - along with chef de cuisine Henry Johnson.

    Palladino said the cuisine reflects both his New York roots and Hazen's experience working in fine dining and Asian concepts.

    Highlights of their menu include:

    • Slow-Roasted Herb-Crusted Prime Rib served tableside from the restaurant's "Trolley Treat"
    • Bread Stick Veal Milanese
    • Miso-Glazed Chilean Bass
    • Maine Lobster Scampi
    • Sushi selections
    • Taste of Japan A5 Wagyu offerings

    The Dallas location was designed by Rockwell Group, the internationally known design firm that also created the New York restaurant. "The Dallas location reinterprets Palladino’s signature sense of glamour through a distinctly Texas lens, blending the sophistication and energy of the brand’s New York roots with the warmth and character of Palladino’s longstanding Dallas legacy," says the release.

    Palladino's also includes two private event venues: The Aria, a live-music-focused events space (complete with grand piano and stage) named for Palladino's daughter; and The National, an intimate private dining room named for Dallas National Golf Club, where Palladino is a member.

    "Featuring photography from the club, The National celebrates Dallas’s deep ties to the sport while reflecting the restaurant’s broader themes of legacy, community, and elevated gathering," says the release.

    Palladino first landed on the Dallas restaurant scene in 1998 to partner up with the equally larger-than-life restaurateur Phil Romano, and went on to have a hand in the creation of Nick & Sam’s, the swanky steakhouse on Maple Avenue (now run by Sam Romano, Phil Romano's son), Nick & Sam's Grill, Dos Jefes, and Coal Vines, his homage to the casual neighborhood restaurants reminiscent of his upbringing in New York.

    Palladino was approached by Preston Royal's landlords to open a restaurant at the center. Given his local following and celebrity draw, as well as the large local appetite for steakhouses, Dallas made sense as a second location, particularly at the highly desirable intersection of Preston and Royal.

    “Dallas has played such an important role in my story as an entrepreneur," Palladino says in the release. “After opening the first Palladino’s Steak & Seafood in New York, it felt only right to bring it here next. This city understands hospitality at the highest level, and we’re excited to introduce a menu, ambiance and experience that reflects that.”

    The Palladino's bar opens daily at 4:30 pm, with dinner service beginning at 5 pm. Hours are 5-10 pm Sunday-Thursday and 5-11 pm Friday-Saturday.
