Recently, one of our Eat Style Dallas contributors received an invitation to come into the newest restaurant to hit Downtown Dallas, CBD Provisions. The “urban brasserie” is run by Consilient Restaurants sand situated across from the biggest eye in Downtown Dallas next to The Joule Hotel.

The menu is a vast collection of cuisine that ties back to the restaurant groups look and feel. Comfort with and upscale twist. The dining room gives off industrial chic with open spaces, large wooden rounders and a bar that screams “sit down and stay a while”. When this place formally opens on October 10th, Downtown Dallas will show the rest of the city what it’s been keeping secret for a good amount of time.

The décor at CBD Provisions is equal parts rich and raw — historic brick walls, rustic wood beam ceilings, white marble tables, bronze cabinetry, tufted leather banquettes, end grain wood floors and salvaged antique mirrors.
