Late last year we announced that California-based chain restaurant, Paul Martin’s American Grill, was opening in the Turtle Creek Village. And then a couple of months ago Nancy threw in her five cents, stating that Dallas “has too many boring American restaurants.”
Regardless of whether you’re for or against out-of-state chains, they’re rapidly popping up in Dallas’ dining scene. LYFE Kitchen (which was founded by former McDonald’s pooh-bahs) worked its way over from Palo Alto, California in 2014; Eureka! Dallas also set up shop in the West Village last year; followed shortly after by Public School 214.
Paul Martin’s American Grill is also based out of California and is the product of Paul Fleming, the man behind P.F. Chang’s, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Pei Wei Asian Diner. The restaurant, which is located in a highly stylized 6,000-square-foot space at the corner of Oak Lawn and Blackburn, opens to the public at 3 p.m. tomorrow. I was invited to stop by this morning with my camera for an exclusive peek inside.
