Trompo Is Coming to East Dallas
Five days ago, many people who spend a lot of time on Instagram, myself included, saw Trompo post eye-bulge-inducing news: a Trompo outpost is coming soon to East Dallas. No more cross-city treks to Oak Cliff. My inquiries about the new location were deftly deflected by Trompo owner Luis Olvera, who’s keeping details on the down-low until the opening nears. It will be located at 4201 Gaston Ave.
Uptown Dallas will soon get a new dining destination complete with locally-sourced dishes and labor-intensive, ice cold shaken cocktails.
Good Graces, to be located inside the brand new Marriott Dallas Uptown Hotel at 3033 Fairmount Street, will focus on globally-inspired cuisine made with locally-sourced ingredients and served in what a press release described as an upscale but intimate environment.
The restaurant will be led by chef Juan Pablo Silva, previously of the Ritz Carlton in Dallas. Silva has helped open hotels restaurants across the world, including in Abu Dhabi; Doha, Qatar; and in Beirut, Lebanon.
The menu at Good Graces will include dishes like fresh Gulf oysters, charcuterie made with meats sourced from local farms seasonal produce, and expertly-cooked steaks. Other dishes will spotlight a range of international flavors, from Peruvian-style roast chicken marinated with garlic and lime, to moules frites served with a crusty French baguette.
