I didn’t want to jump on the feeding frenzy at One Arts Plaza, but I just got a press release earlier this afternoon I thought I would share. CraveDFW normally steers clear of stories that are buzzing around the net and more often than not try to generate our content from scratch.
However you might like to read a portion of this release that discusses Lombardi’s attempt to take over the world. Well at least a small part of the Dallas restaurant world.
I will be speaking with Screen Door’s chef-owner this coming week and we will have the low-down for you. Look for this latest Lombardi concept to open in October.
Alberto Lombardi, has announced that he will open a new restaurant, Café des Artistes, at One Arts Plaza, the signature retail, residential and office development, which anchors the east side of the Dallas Arts District. The restaurant and lounge will feature a brasserie style ambience and menu incorporating a culinary mix of French and California flavors. The restaurant, scheduled to open early October, will occupy the former Screen Door space.
The Lombardi’s concept comes from chef Thierry Blouet’s Café des Artistes in Puerto Vallarta, MX. Everything is copied from the name, the concept and the piano lounge. Great Job Lombardi~~~~http://www.cafedesartistes.com/
