It’s officially the day that the doors to Savor, the modern gastropub in Klyde Warren park, will open to the public. In anticipation of tonights soft opening, I thought I’d share with you 5 foodie facts to consider before dining at Savor.
1. Executive Chef John Coleman, a 23-year veteran chef, has held a plethora of high ranking culinary positions in his past. Most recently, he headed up the food and beverage program at the Ritz Carlton Dallas and even brings along some of his kitchen talent with him to Savor. Chef Joe Scigliano, former executive chef at the Ritz Carlton Dallas, is included in that talent list.
2. The space is like a culinary Apple store, sans crazies outside begging for $700 phones. The design is modern and beautiful. The dining room, bar and walkways are lined with glass walls with protruding pieces. This is a fete of pure wonder as the encompassing park lends itself to the dining experience and provides prime people watching in between courses. (There’s even an expansive outdoor dining area!)
3. The touch table in the front lounge area. One of the coolest features of Savor is the rumored $10,000 table by the bar. It’s the only one of its kind in the entire restaurant and it is interactive. Touching any block on the table will change the lighting panel and the colors will turn into a rainbow of light.
4. The cocktail list, featuring drinks made with Kosmas’ The 86 Co. brand of spirits, is not to be missed. Steady mixology competition has been brewing in Dallas over the past few years and Savor has kindly taken the baton. Treat yourself to a stout cocktail before, during and after dinner. The rounded shape of the bar at Savor lends itself to the social experience from the get go.
5. The menu. Locally sourced, carefully prepared and presented to perfection. Chef Coleman has taken his green surroundings an created a menu that shines. Here is an exclusive first look at the menu which will continually update with new offerings, but this is what guests can expect for now:
