The Canadian hospitality group Joey Restaurants is set to open a new JOEY Restaurant at Dallas' North Park Center on January 18, 2024.
It marks the first of three planned locations in Dallas. The new restaurant will take over the space previously occupied by Seasons 52, located on the first floor of NorthPark's south corridor near Northwest Highway.
Joey Restaurants is set to expand its presence in the United States by opening three new locations in Dallas.
Nancy Nasher, the owner of NorthPark Center, one of the chosen locations, expressed enthusiasm about the development.
She believes that Joey Restaurants will be a "fantastic addition" to the local dining scene in Dallas, offering a welcoming and lively dining experience for shoppers and visitors.
Following the opening of their eateries in Dallas, the Canadian group plans to establish Local Public Eatery, a laid-back American restaurant and pub, in East Dallas. This new venture will open on Henderson Avenue in the summer of 2024.
The location is notably in the same shopping area as the Veritas Wine Room and the recently renovated neighborhood restaurant, Gemma.
Local Public Eatery already operates eight establishments in Canada and one in Washington state, making the Dallas opening a significant step into the southern U.S. market.
Expansive Dining and Artistic Flair at JOEY Restaurant
Guests visiting the new JOEY Restaurant in Dallas will be welcomed into a spacious area of over 10,000 square feet featuring a dining room, lounge, and patio. This expansive space offers ample room for guests to enjoy a tasty meal, celebrate special occasions in a private event room, or unwind comfortably.
The restaurant boasts a talented culinary team led by Executive Chef Matthew Stowe, a celebrated Top Chef Canada winner with experience competing in Japan's Iron Chef and the prestigious Bocuse d'Or. Heading the kitchen at JOEY Dallas is Chef Zach Helm, who brings his expertise from Houston to Dallas.
Adding to the dining experience, JOEY Dallas emphasizes the integration of art into its atmosphere. The restaurant will showcase art pieces by both international and Texas-based artists, creating a vibrant and cosmopolitan environment with Western influences.
Among the featured artists are B. Shawn Cox, Melinda Buie, and Whitney Avra, whose commissioned works will adorn the restaurant, enhancing the dining experience with their artistic vision.
JOEY Restaurant: Flavor Fusion and Signature Drinks
At the new JOEY Restaurant, diners expect an eclectic menu that combines "a fusion of flavors." The offerings range from fire-torched sushi and savory steaks to diverse bowls, hearty burgers, and easy-to-hold handhelds.
The standout dishes are the steak served with crispy mashed potatoes, smooth hummus, seared salmon sushi, and the uniquely prepared sake-glazed sea bass.
Complementing the food, the bar at JOEY presents a curated selection of wines handpicked by an in-house sommelier. For those seeking something more spirited, the cocktail menu includes tantalizing choices like the Spicy Passionfruit Margarita and the Real Peach Bellini.
Additionally, the Joey Supers, a creative take on the classic highball featuring lemon and lime slush, offers a refreshing twist for guests.
