The El Jefe is among the musttry signature sips offered at La Neta Cocina.
VISUAL FEAST If you’ve taken a spin downtown lately, you might have noticed a fresh new face sitting pretty at The Epic—and let’s just say it’s anything but shy. Summoning with an over-the-top sensorial experience comes La Neta Cocina y Lounge, a modernized Mexican oasis imbued with exotic flair, both on and off the plate. Open the doors to this buzzy new spot and you will find yourself transported to an ambiance reflecting the exotic likes of Tulum, mixed in with upscale detailing. Marrying a mixture of lush greenery and opulent chandeliers cascading the ceilings, the restaurant is unrivaled in design, and we are all for it. “We’ve been hard at work to bring the perfect, unapologetically unique dining experience to the heart of Dallas,” notes Ryan Labbe, who is leading the charge in this culinary venture. Having opened La Neta Cocina y Lounge in Las Vegas, this marks the eatery’s debut foray into the Dallas dining scene. 2525 Elm St., lanetacocina.com
Touting a two-story, 4,500-square-foot space, Ramble Room is perfect for a power lunch, family gathering or weeknight reprieve.
RAMBLIN’ MAN Settled in the bustling Snider Plaza sits the latest culinary venture from restaurateur Jon Alexis. Hot off the heels of opening Tex-Mex eatery Escondido, via Alexis’ newly launched hospitality group Imperial Fizz comes Ramble Room. Serving up classic culinary dishes, Ramble Room summons with American fare, a sprawling bar space and two stories where Alexis invites patrons to sit back, relax and stay a while. “We do it backwards—we find a great spot in a great neighborhood and figure out what those neighbors need,” shares Alexis. “We felt Snider Plaza was missing a grown-up restaurant where you can have a happy hour, business meeting, a mom’s night out or a much-needed date.” 6565 Hillcrest Ave., Ste. 150, rambleroomdallas.com
