José brings a fresh, modern take on regional Mexican cuisine to Dallas’ beloved Lovers/Inwood neighborhood. Inspired by the brilliant and fast-paced culinary scene in Jalisco, the restaurant captures the serendipitous connections created when culture, food, tequila and art merge into one experience. Jose’s vibrant story comes to life at every table through its chef-driven plates, craft cocktails, the ceramics crafted by its renowned namesake, José Noe Suro of Ceramica Suro and the hand-drawn mural adorning the walls with scenes of Guadalajara and Tequila, which was a collaboration between Suro and Dallas-based designer and artist Megan Reinhardt. More than a restaurant, José is a community with authentically innovative Mexican food at its heart. Helmed by award-winning Chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, José’s culinary program is seasonal, inspired and ever evolving.

Since opening its first location in the heart of SoHo in 2016, the brand has reached iconic status thanks to its urbane, celebratory atmosphere and a menu of hits, including the best bagels in America. Among its many accolades, Sadelle’s was named an essential brunch destination by Harper’s BAZAAR and Cosmopolitan, and its sticky buns were ranked one of the Best Dishes of 2015 by The New York Times.

Nearly flawless experience (again) with personable but unobtrusive service and a kitchen on point. Only area I would change would be the complimentary bread - mix it up w variety and charge a few dollars. Baguette was a little long in the tooth. Overall, one of our all-time favorite, cozy and upscale restaurants.

Went Xmas eve. They graciously accommodated a last minute add on to our party. It’s nice and dark but you can see- very good old- person lighting. They offer excellent food and drinks. We ordered family style. Lemon pasta, carrots, and meatballs were the best. Salmon was cooked perfectly, a simple dish. We got prompt and attentive but not overbearing service-top notch. The bartenders were incredibly efficient while we waited for our table- considering how busy they were. That all said, something about it was lacking in a special experience. Perhaps I’d try on a quieter evening when I’m better rested with a well-charged social battery.
