UPATE:
Everyone is safe and sound. We are grateful to the Dallas Fire Department for their service. The damage from the kitchen fire is concentrated in the kitchen and, of course, will be repaired immediately. Our goal is to have Dallas Chop House open to serve guests by September 1, if not sooner. We are grateful to everyone for their interest and for their good wishes as we make these repairs and get all of our employees back to serving guests.
DRG is contacting all DFW Restaurant Week 2014 guests with reservations at Dallas Chop House and is accommodating reservations at its restaurant Dallas Fish Market, also in Downtown Dallas.
