One Arts Plaza is almost ready for its close-up. The 24-story “urban concept” will house 68 luxury residences, 35,000 square feet of retail space, and nearly 500,000 square feet of office space at the eastern tip of the Downtown Dallas Arts District. Good stuff. One of the premier restaurants, Screen Door, brain child of Scott Jones, the former singing waiter turned restaurateur (Café Italia, Gourmet a go-Go) is set to open on May 19. The food? Modern twist on old southern favorites. The chef? Fitzgerald Dodd, whose career has included stints at Brennan’s, Star Canyon, Voltaire, the Crescent Hotel, and Hotel ZaZa. The digs? Think old southern mansion. Voltaire? I’m still wondering what happened to the wine collection after they closed. Scott, can you tell us?
