Tropical Shrimp Paradise

Palapas Seafood Bar will make shrimp divine at historic Greenville Avenue site

More exciting Greenville Avenue momentum comes in the form of Palapas Seafood Bar, a new restaurant set to open in a historic location: the former home of Dallas Tortilla and Tamale Factory. A local institution, Dallas Tortilla and Tamale Factory had been in that space at 1418 Greenville Ave. for more than 50 years.

As Palapas, it will have seafood, a patio and the eponymous palapas – those tropical-looking open dwellings topped with thatched dried palm leaves, facing right onto Greenville Avenue.

The restaurant comes from Tim Goza, who owns a furniture company, and will feature former Komali chef Luis Medina. The menu has not been finalized, but you can expect shrimp, snapper and ceviche, plus cocktails and beer.

"The idea for the restaurant was born on the coast of the Sinaloa state in Mexico, the world's capital of shrimp," says spokeswoman Elizabeth Ruiz. "Mr. Goza wanted to bring the flavors and aromas from the northwestern part of Mexico to Dallas."

The space is still in the middle of a careful overhaul by partner Marcelino Beltran, who is working conscientiously to utilize the great bones of this historic building. He and his crew are painstakingly pulling away walls and paint to reveal beautiful original brick and tile, which they're enhancing with galvanized metal panels and boardwalk-style light fixtures.

Everything is being done by hand, including the construction of an inlaid cedar panel over the sweeping wooden bar.

Overall, the space is less than 2,000 square feet, so Beltran has plotted the floor plan judiciously, by incorporating the patio into the basic design. Although the construction is still in process, they're planning a mid-November opening.

"We're going to get a lot done over the next two weeks," Ruiz says.

Luxury steakhouse Steak 48 poised for Dallas debut at prime location

A luxury steakhouse from a celebrated culinary family is coming to Dallas. Steak 48 will soon begin construction on a 14,000-square-foot restaurant in Dallas' Knox-Henderson area, at the corner of McKinney and Monticello avenues.

Spearheaded by brothers Jeffrey and Michael Mastro, Steak 48 Dallas will showcase "the signature personalized service, prime steaks, fresh seafood, world-class Wagyu selections, and luxury dining experience" that the family is known for, the announcement says.

In recent decades, the Mastro family has become famous in the food world for their modern takes on the classic steakhouse. They first created Mastro’s Steakhouse and Mastro’s Ocean Club, which they sold in 2007. Steak 48 is one of six concepts currently under their Prime Steak Concepts umbrella; Dallas will mark the seventh location.

The new Dallas steakhouse will be the group's second restaurant — and largest — in Texas. It promises a “distinctly Dallas” menu and atmosphere, which will include what is sure to be a showstopping, second-floor indoor pool surrounded by chic, white-tablecloth dining.

All of that square footage will accommodate a variety of dining atmospheres under one roof, including a room that allows guests to watch everything going on inside the kitchen through floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

“We love Dallas and have spent years searching for the right location. We are so grateful to have found one and to finally be coming to this city,” says Oliver Badgio, chief brand officer, in the announcement. “This neighborhood has an energy that’s hard to miss, which makes it an exciting place for us to put down roots and build something special.”

Steak 48 Dallas will offer an upmarket take on the classic American steakhouse, with prime steaks, fresh seafood, and shellfish complemented by an array of inventive appetizers, entrées, and sides. Steaks come in a variety of cuts and sizes, and even less-carnivorous diners will be able to enjoy a range of appetizers, side dishes, and raw bar delights.

Signature Steak 48 offerings that will make the cut on the Dallas menu include the Colossal Shrimp Cocktail, Chef's Cut Hanging Bacon, Corn Crème Brûlée, and Caviar Cones.

The food menu is complemented by an extensive wine list and craft cocktail program, and, of utmost importance, according to the release, is sourcing the highest quality ingredients and prioritizing locally grown products when available.

Construction on the Dallas location is set to begin soon, with an anticipated opening date still to be announced.
