We have followed the SĒR construction and menu development since the closing of iconic Nana just a few short months ago (here and here ). Many were saddened by the closure, but had those same people visited Nana more than once a year as a special ocassion restautrant, it would still be open. Thus the nature of economics.
SĒR is the first of a ration of restaurants premiering in the month of October, and this quick multi-million dollar facelift will soon prove to be one of the new gems sprouting from the restaurant role of 2012.

We reported several months ago that the Stoneleigh Hotel is now Luxe Stoneleigh, and with that has undergone some needed changes at the hotel to the tune of $36 million dollars. The Stoneleigh has been a Dallas landmark since 1923 and has enjoyed a marvelous history.
This weekend we learned that there are more changes afoot at the Stoneleigh as their restaurant Bolla is phased out to make way for Texas-inspired cuisine in the new T/X Restaurant and Bar. Marcelo Vasquez was named executive chef just days ago. Vasquez was the executive chef at the Omni Fort Worth for the past five years and has a marvelous culinary background starting in his home country, Chile. Continue reading
