Goldie's

A new neighborhood spot serving nostalgic food and drinks is opening in Dallas' Lake Highlands: Called Goldie's, it'll open at 9850 Walnut Hill Ln. #305, in the spot that was previously RM 12:20 Bistro, which closed in February 2023.

According to a release, Goldie's will open on Thursday, March 28 for dinner and late-night dining.

The concept was created by Brandon Hays (This and That Hospitality IE Sfuzzi, Ferris Wheelers, High Fives, Tiny Victories), his wife, Brittany Grignon (founder of Session Pilates), and restaurant veteran Brittni Clayton. Clayton has 18 years of experience working with names such as Nick Badovinus, Salvatore Gisellu, and Duro Hospitality.

Executive chef is Matt Perry, another DFW restaurant longtimer who has worked at Neighborhood Services, Montlake Cut, The Porch, Alice, and Billy Can Can.

The menu includes:

Bone Marrow Bruschetta with confit garlic, radicchio, and toast points
Tuna Tataki with bluefin, maple white soy, and sesame seeds
Beet Hummus with charred shishitos and fresh veggies
Session Salad - baby gem/spring mix, red onion, farro, dates, nuts, egg
10 oz. Akaushi bone-in pork chop - with taters, arugula, and grilled lemon
Zucchini Buccatini - parmesan and basil
Snapper with salsa verde
NY Strip - 14 oz. NY Strip with arugula, shaved parm and bone marrow butter

Cocktails are classics with a twist such as a Cosmo with Ketel orange, Alma Finca orange liqueur, OJ, cranberry juice, and pomegranate; Buttercup with Rosaluna mezcal, Meyer lemon juice, limoncello, and liquor 43; and Bab’s Bicicletta with Aperol, sauvignon blanc, and soda. Wines by the glass and bottle are "approachable" in mindset and price.

The 1,500-square-foot space has 26 seats, plus 8 bar stools, plus a 700-square-foot patio that seats 40 more, including a private dining space for groups of 12-16. Designed by Studio Thomas James, the space is intended to be approachable, comfortable, and fun.

“The whole dining experience is a sophisticated, sexy feel whether utilizing the intimate dining room or the climate-controlled patio for year-round dining,” Hays says in a statement.
