Been waiting for this for a while

I should add Goodwin's, in the old Blue Goose space, is planning to open in February. It's my most anticipated opening of 2024

---

Very excited about this too., I hadn't heard a date. Seems like they have a long way to go to be open in 3 months but what do I know.

That date isn't formally announced and obviously still subject to construction completion. There is a lot to do, but they're moving fast now.

Veritas Wine Room is really actually closing this time, in a couple weeks (last guided wine tasting is next week I believe)

Well this sucks. We were there about a month ago and they seemed to be doing well. They had a bottle of pinot noir for sale that we haven't found anywhere but direct from the winery in Sonoma, so we were excited to go back. I guess we will have to go this weekend.

Gemma (#12) - haven't been since they've renovated, but going next week and excited. Their rabbit ragu is one of my favorite dishes in dfw.

We went about a month ago and they had mentioned the recent renovations. Food was fantastic and the rabbit ragu is still on the menu - after a ton of deliberation I ended up trying it and have been dreaming about it since!

I believe it is a lease issue, plus the guys seem to be more focused on their RE careers than running restaurants at this point. Hillside Tavern is very successful I think. I'm surprised Boulevardier is still around but maybe they have a really great lease there, or maybe Bishop Arts is thriving more than I realize - I don't go down there too often.

Hate to see that. We were day 1 patrons when they opened. Best wine bar I've ever been to still. And did many a popup dinner there.

The original Fireside Pies on Henderson Ave apparently closed earlier this fall:

Went to a Birdies pre-opening dinner this weekend and it is awesome! More restaurant/less bar than I expected, and all the food our group tried was awesome. Biggest winners were birria sliders, loaded fries, patty melt, and chicken tikka wrap. All entrees, even the steak, were under $30 which is nice.

The adult only bar is cool, but somewhat small, although it's got great visibility to the patio so you can keep an eye on your kids can run around and it's an indoor/outdoor bar counter if your outside with them.

This place is going to be a huge hit
