In this week\u2019s edition of Dallasite About Town, I present to you\u2026 a whole lotta restaurant news. And one caftan collab, which is exactly what you\u2019ll want to be wearing after all the dining OUT we have on our proverbial plates.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive in, shall we?<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Olivia Opens Downtown<\/p>\n

Following the success of its Addison location, Caf\u00e9 Olivia<\/a> officially opens its second outpost today, Tuesday, February 17, inside Dallas Arts Tower, the newly-renovated and bustling building at 2200 Ross Avenue in the heart of the Dallas Arts District.<\/p>\n

The wellness-focused restaurant, which serves clean and seed-oil-free food, intentionally caters to people who work in the city\u2019s urban core. The hours (Monday through Friday from 7 am to 6 pm) reflect this, as do Caf\u00e9 Olivia\u2019s offerings, including a robust grab-and-go selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of Caf\u00e9 Olivia for staying true to what we set out to build, a place rooted in wellness, real ingredients, and authenticity,\u201d Caf\u00e9 Olivia co-founder Adrian Verdin says.\u00a0\u201cWorking directly with local farms and vendors instead of taking the easy route is more challenging, but it\u2019s important to me because it shows up in every cup of coffee and every plate we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAba Is Coming To The Seam<\/p>\n

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Mediterranean Restaurant)<\/p>\n

ICYMI, what I\u2019ve done here is reference the ABBA song \u201cGimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)\u201d to let you know that Aba, the Mediterranean restaurant with California influence<\/a>, is coming to The Seam in the Design District in late 2026.<\/p>\n

I feel comfortable using this pun since Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants broke the news. We told you all about The Seam when the mixed-use development was announced<\/a>, and we\u2019ll keep you in-the-loop as more restaurants and retail stores are unveiled.<\/p>\n

Aba\u2019s menu will feature Chef CJ Jacobson\u2019s modern approach to Mediterranean cuisine that also incorporates his California roots. Think house-made hummus and spreads, hot and cold mezze offerings, kebabs, and new dishes inspired by the local market.<\/p>\n

Aba is expected to open at The Seam in late 2026. Stay hungry, Dallas.<\/p>\n

\nWeezie Teams Up With La Vie Style House<\/p>\n

Last year, luxe towel brand Weezie released a collection of terry pool coverups designed with Dallas-based caftan queens Lindsey McClain and Jamie Coulter of La Vie Style House. The collaboration sold out within days. Now, the two Millennial brands are back (back again!) with a reintroduction of the popular style. In addition, they\u2019re debuting a new, longer silhouette.<\/p>\n

Both styles<\/a> are part of Weezie\u2019s western-inspired spring break collection that just dropped and are one-size-fits-all. The Mini Caftan (in a delicious \u201cHibiscus\u201d color) starts at $248, and the Long Caftan in \u201cPapaya\u201d starts at $278. Both styles can be personalized with embroidery on the cuff.<\/p>\n

With Spring Break just around the corner, hop to it. What else would you rather lounge in poolside than a chic terry caftan?<\/p>\n

\nThe Charles Transforms Interior and Introduces New Menu<\/p>\n

The Charles, the first restaurant from Dallas-based Duro Hospitality, recently unveiled its transformed interiors, which are \u201cricher, sexier, moodier, and more magnetic than ever.\u201d Corbin and Ross See of Sees Design oversaw the redesign, which was inspired by a Roman bedroom with black walls, mosaic floors, and painted wainscoting.<\/p>\n

The Charles also debuted a new menu that focuses on dishes prepared on their wood-fired grill, like the rustic and smoky BBQ Pork Jowl with cavolo nero, charred lemon, and black garlic. With these updates, the restaurant boldly steps into its next era.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we opened The Charles, we were underdogs challenging a well-established Dallas dining scene,\u201d says founding partner Chas Martin. \u201cWe had one goal then, and it\u2019s the same goal now: to be the most iconic, edgiest, best version of ourselves possible. This wasn\u2019t about necessity\u2014it was about intention. We felt The Charles deserved it. Staying fresh is how you earn longevity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMilagro Tacos Cantina Opens As Full-Service Restaurant<\/p>\n

Milagro enthusiasts, rejoice!<\/p>\n

Milagro Tacos Cantina just announced that they\u2019re officially opening as a full-service restaurant, \u201cunveiling a thoughtfully-updated design, enhanced guest experience, and a significantly expanded menu that celebrates both tradition and innovation.\u201d The expanded menu keeps customer favorites while adding an array of new dishes inspired by coastal Mexico, classic Tex-Mex, and contemporary cantina cuisine.<\/p>\n

In addition, beginning Saturday, February 22, Milagro introduces weekend brunch. The flavorful menu will include:<\/p>\n

Huevos Rancheros
\nLucia\u2019s amazing chilaquiles
\nEnfrijoladas stuffed with scrambled eggs
\nHouse-made menudo
\nSteak fajitas and eggs
\nBucht\u2019s breakfast burrito<\/p>\n

Milagro will also offer \u00e0 la carte breakfast tacos, including migas, papas con chorizo, and bacon, egg, and potato. Oh, and did we mention they will serve agave mimosas during brunch?<\/p>\n

\u201cMilagro has always been about bold flavors, great energy, and bringing people together,\u201d says owner Jesus Carmona.\u201cThis reopening allows us to honor what our guests love while expanding the menu and experience in a way that truly reflects who we are today.\u201d<\/p>\n
