WITS AND WHIMSY

Wits isn’t your typical Texas steakhouse—now open in the former Oak space, the resto showcases traditional steakhouse classics with dynamic South African-inspired twists. Created by Richard Ellman, founder of Apheleia Restaurant Group, the 4,000-square-foot contemporary eatery seats 80, including a semiprivate chef’s table and large outdoor patio. Nosh on creative dishes like biltong (jerky), South African braai (grilled chicken with roasted peppers and sunchokes) and the New Zealand lamb rack with wild rice. Other unique menu offerings include a South African beer and wine program, as well as a sushi menu serving up sashimi, nigiri and chef-inspired rolls. 1628 Oak Lawn Ave., Ste. 110, witssteakhouse.com
