Just when you thought it wouldn\u2019t end, the construction that\u2019s been dominating the edge of Knox Street is ready to wrap up and unveil what all the dust was for. <\/p>\n
These days, when a development breaks ground in Dallas, you can wager it\u2019s one of two things: a mixed-use development or a brand new luxury high-rise. Turns out, Knox-Henderson is getting both.<\/p>\n
We knew something was in the works when an entire block of Knox Street was cleared and investors were plotting for Cafe Madrid<\/a> at the end of 2025. With construction finalized and opening announcements underway, we now know that Toulouse\u2019s new neighbor will be The Knox Luxury Hotel and Residences.<\/p>\n The plan was to create a sophisticated standalone destination and a complementary development that would serve as a springboard for exploring the neighborhood. Its opening has acted as a catalyst for changes and openings around the neighborhood restaurant scene, with five or so new concepts opening within the next 6 months.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Food & Drink newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n THANK YOU!<\/p>\n You’re all set.<\/p>\n CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Sant Ambroeus<\/p>\n 4555 Travis St. Expected opening: Early 2027<\/p>\n Victory Tap Sports Bar<\/p>\n 4511 McKinney Ave. Expected opening: Fall 2026<\/p>\n The Main House rendering. <\/p>\n courtesy of The Main House<\/p>\n The Main House<\/p>\n 3333 Knox St. Expected opening: 2027<\/p>\n SunLife Organics<\/p>\n 3333 Knox St. Expected opening: Fall or winter 2026<\/p>\n Th\u00e9a Mediterranean Rooftop<\/p>\n 3333 Knox St. Expected opening: Early 2027<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Main House rendering. courtesy of The Main House Just when you thought it wouldn\u2019t end, the construction…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,1961],"class_list":["post-433655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-openings-closings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
A new Italian spot in Dallas isn\u2019t groundbreaking news<\/a>; however, Sant Ambroeus keeps our attention for its unique history. Ninety years ago, two Milanese pastry chefs in Italy joined forces to open this cafe just steps away from the Teatro La Scala, the city\u2019s famous opera house. It was inspired by Saint Ambrogio, the patron saint of Milan, and became a culinary icon synonymous with Milan\u2019s style and quality. It came from across the pond to the U.S. in the \u201980s, and has six cafe locations in New York, one in Palm Beach, Florida, and another in Aspen, Colorado. Rather than taking the copy-and-paste approach to expansion, each Sant Ambroeus location has similar branding, but takes on the face of its new locale. The Aspen location has a menu focused on Milanese-style Italian cuisine, influenced by the bounty of nearby Rocky Mountain rivers and farms. We can expect a similar approach to the new location opening in Dallas sometime next year. <\/p>\n
Mar y Sol Cocina Latina served its last guests on Saturday, Aug. 15. The space is being revamped as we speak to reopen as a sports bar this fall. It was an easy pivot for Alberto Lombardi, who told The Dallas Morning News that the spot was busy on weekends, but not weekdays, which isn\u2019t a winning formula. Lombardi Concepts found their winning formula in June when they opened Victory Tap Sports Bar in Plano, right before the World Cup debut in Dallas. Believing that the neighborhood is better served with an approachable sports bar, Lombardi Concepts is opening a second Victory Tap location in Knox-Henderson.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789197864_559_theMainHouse-rendering-WesternRestaurantGroup.jpg\")

The enduring ease and classic charm of American retreats is the inspiration for The Main House<\/a>, a new concept by Western Addition Restaurant Group, which is also behind Il Bracco and Bobbie\u2019s Airway Grill. Beaches, lake houses, ranches and family gathering spaces are being reimagined into residential modernism, which will welcome diners into an indoor-outdoor concept with \u201cunhurried elegance.\u201d Its patio will open directly onto the Katy Trail and the menu will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner using hallmarks from the restaurant group\u2019s founding concepts: fresh entr\u00e9e salads, stacked sandwiches on house-made bread and proteins butchered in-house daily. We don\u2019t have a lot of information as of yet, but can expect more details prior to the opening.<\/p>\n
Erewhon might never come to Dallas, but SunLife Organics<\/a>, an organic juice bar with a similar ethos, is. It got its start in 2011, after owner Khalil Rafati overcame addiction, living on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles, got sober and was introduced to juicing and superfoods. He opened the first location in Malibu with his business partner Hayley Gorcey and established a go-to for organic juices, organic smoothies, organic salads and \u201corganic everything really.\u201d This new location in Dallas will make three total locations in Texas, the other two being already established in Austin, as well as a few dozen other locations across the country. Each location serves shakes packed with superfoods. The \u201cmillion dollar smoothie\u201d here is made with banana, raw cashew butter, raw plant protein, raw cacao nibs, maca, colostrum, olive oil, trace mineral complex, pink Himalayan salt, chia seeds, raw honey and grass-fed A2\/A2 whole milk. And just like Erewhon, it costs $23.<\/p>\n
Th\u00e9a Mediterranean Rooftop<\/a> is a buzzy rooftop from Fox Restaurant Concepts, which is also behind Flower Child, The Henry, Culinary Dropout and Dough Bird. It debuted in Phoenix, Arizona in 2023, and was regonized by Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler for being one of the Best New Hotel Restaurants in the World<\/a>. The travel publication said it offered a truly transporting experience and highlighted the big flavors that never skew towards being overindulgent. The Dallas location will be the concept\u2019s second.<\/p>\n
