Delilah, the glam Los Angeles supper club known for its celebrity clientele, live music, and chic art deco vibe, will officially make its Dallas debut next month.

The restaurant is set to open its doors in the Design District, at 1616 High Line Dr., on Tuesday, February 3.

It’s the fourth location - and the largest - for the Los Angeles-born Delilah, which first opened in West Hollywood in 2016. It has since expanded to include outposts in Las Vegas, Miami, and now, Dallas, where it will serve up a glam, modern supper club vibe alongside chic cocktails and classic American cuisine.

The Dallas outpost will bring Delilah’s classic, Roaring ‘20s inspired aesthetic to the Design District, along with an equally convivial atmosphere.

The 15,000-square-foot “immersive” restaurant will boast live music, dancers, and “multiple performance moments,” according to a description shared by a representative. There are three private dining rooms, a wine room with dedicated sommelier, and an outdoor front porch for cocktails. Walls are decorated with local celebrities like Erykah Badu, Post Malone, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, Clayton Kershaw and Dirk Nowitzki.

“Delilah Dallas will be a proper supper club with a full band and dancers, offering a one-of-a-kind experience unlike anything else in the city,” says John Terzian and Brian Toll, co-founders of The h.wood Group, in a release. “This location marks several firsts for the brand, from its scale and design to our first outdoor front porch for cocktails.

Delilah has a no-photos policy that is seriously maintained, too, which has helped it attract a devoted celebrity clientele in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami.

According to Vanity Fair, Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, John Mayer, and more A-listers are all fans of the establishment, thanks in part to their ability to dine in privacy. If you’re busted taking photos or video in Los Angeles, you’ll be politely escorted out by security.

“We built this place to protect our friends,” owner John Terzian told the outlet in 2023.

According to a release, the Dallas Delilah will serve refined American fare with a special nod to Texas, alongside signature Delilah favorites like chicken tenders and "Kendall’s Slutty Brownie."

Other locally-inspired dishes highlights include: Hamachi Crudo, Thick-Cut Bacon, “Bone-in” Texas Redfish, Truffled Grilled Cheese, and Roasted Lobster Mafaldine. Premium beef offerings include a 10-ounce Bavette from Branded Beef, a 40-ounce Wagyu Akaushi Tomahawk from Texas’ own Beeman Ranch, and A5 Japanese Wagyu Snow Beef grilled tableside on a hot rock.

Signature cocktails The Lone Star, made with Gran Coramino Reposado tequila, cacao and star anise infused Campari and carpano antica; Perfume & Petals crafted with Mallorca Melon infused Tanqueray Gin, Minuty Prestige Rose, Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto, lemon, sparkling soda and served with rose water essence; and The Dirty Designer with Suntory Haku Vodka, dolin dry vermouth, olive and pickle brine served chilled with a selection of pickled vegetables.

Delilah is currently accepting reservations via the platform SevenRooms starting on February 3 — but you might want to act fast, because they’re already getting snapped up quickly. At press time, all tables on opening day had already been reserved, and for the following day, only one spot at 11 pm still remained.

Garland restaurant from Bobby Flay winner to reopen in downtown Dallas

Chef Kevin Ashade has found a new home for Pangea.

Pangea, the popular Garland restaurant which closed in January 2025, has found a new home. A new iteration of the restaurant will open in downtown Dallas, at 1910 Pacific Ave., Ste. 1400, in a location that was once vegan restaurant Belse.

According to restaurant personnel, it will open at 4 pm Friday, February 13.

Pangea is from chef and restaurateur Kevin Ashade, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America who won Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay in 2016 with his signature coq au vin, which will be served at the new restaurant.

Ashade has a strong culinary background in Dallas, which includes Craft at the W Hotel, Nana at the Hilton Anatole, The Oceanaire Seafood Room, and his GourmEats catering business, before opening Pangea in January 2020.

In this new chapter of Pangea, which is defined by Ashade as “elevated and globally inspired," the menu will expand past the original restaurant's upscale Southern eats to include new flavors and fusions from Italian, Nigerian, Japanese, French, and Caribbean cuisine.

“The focus will be on a true definition of what Pangea is, with new dishes and a true cultural approach to food,” Ashade says.

The menu will feature about half of the dishes from the original location, including the popular jerk roasted lamb shank, stuffed salmon, and crab cakes. It will expand to include more fish options, like a branzino plate, and more cuts of steak, in addition to the New York strip, filet, and ribeye that were served in the Garland location. Entrees will range from $35 to $50, with more casual options such as burgers and sandwiches available as well.

The new restaurant will also feature a full raw and sushi bar, including an omakase option starting at $85. They will also be serving brunch on weekends, with options such as chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict, omelets, steak frites, pastry baskets, and a full coffee menu.

The 240-seat space is upscale with a lounge vibe, with warm lighting creating a sophisticated but welcoming look. It features a full bar, a private dining room, and an ample climate-controlled patio. It is centrally located, across the street from Pacific Plaza Park and on the same block as the Majestic Theatre.

“This relocation means a better spot for us, an opportunity to be part of the business district. We want to create a vacation feel, a place that makes you feel like you are traveling in Mykonos, Tulum, or Ibiza,” Ashade says.

Pangea will be open for dinner seven days a week, as well as offering lunch on Fridays and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. The restaurant will stay open late — until 2 am — on weekends.
