Vans Warped Tour 2009 Warped just began -- Dallas is the fifth stop -- so Bad Religion, NOFX et al will still be fresh. This year, they've got fewer stages and longer sets (40 minutes instead of 30). Get there early for Colorado duo 3OH!3 and Brit punkers Gallows (pictured, credit Jay West). More info

This is a great place! The food was very good, did not have to ask for anything. Our food came out in a timly manner. Loved the vibe. It is a bit expensive I noticed. Oh well it was worth the fun we had.

I prefer this location in Dallas over their previous location in Deep Ellum. It was just too small. Their new location closer to Uptown is a lot bigger and in my opinion, is a lot nicer. For the most part you’re going to be relegated to valeting, so be prepared.
There’s a decent sized bar area you can sit in, or you can grab a table to sit closer and enjoy the live music. I had the Calamari Fritte which was prepared with lemon aioli and marina sauce, which was pretty decent. For the main course I went with the filet priced at $31, prepared with Gorgonzola walnut butter over roasted fingerling potatoes & French green beans. The entrée worked well and the sides were a good accompaniment to the filet. As with most Uptown joints, the wine selection is decent, and most any wine lover should be able to sort through the list to find the best bang for the buck.
For the whole, I like this location much better than their Addison location. Then again, this applies to pretty much any location that also has one in Addison.
