When I heard about the subtle, on-the-sly transition from Bolla to T/X Restaurant at Luxe Stoneleigh Hotel & Spa, I quickly dialed the hotel and found myself fumbling.
“Can I please speak to the manager of Tee-Ex Restaurant?”
“Excuse me, you want to speak to the manager of our hotel?”
“No, maybe it’s T Slash X…? Tex? Or Texas?”
The hotel’s PR company finally set me straight: I was correct the first time. Bolla’s new name is now T/X (pronounced Tee-Ex). It’s unfortunate. The guys who came up with this new name were only two letters away from giving this restaurant the coolest name in Dallas history: T-Rex. But oh well. T/X will have to do.
Luxe Stoneleigh wanted a more casual restaurant for out-of-towners, and Bolla never closed during the transition. One day it was Bolla, and a few weeks ago, it sneakily became T/X, a Texas-inspired restaurant that now serves chicken quesadillas (really?) and hanger steak sliders. New executive chef Marcelo Vasquez, who previously worked at Whiskey & Rye and Cast Iron Restaurant, is sticking to meat-centric dinner entrees like beer braised short ribs and T/X tenderloins.
