About the restaurant

Cafe Momentum is a non-profit restaurant that serves as a paid post-release internship for juvenile offenders. Youth are released from detention into the sheltered environment of Café Momentum’s post-release program. Café Momentum’s program teaches critical skills that allow youth to re-enter society in a safe, real-world environment of nurturing accountability. By participating in our program, at-risk young people rotate through every aspect of the restaurant from waiting tables to washing dishes, while working side-by-side with established chefs.

The paid internship gives them the opportunity to exercise and practice their new skills while continuing to develop leadership, social, and vocational skills for as long as they choose to maintain involvement with Café Momentum. Additionally, Café Momentum works with the Dallas County Juvenile Justice Department to serve youth deemed highest risk for incarceration.

This was our forst time at Mot Hai Ba after hearing people talk about it for years and I genuinely regret not going sooner. The food was unique and delicious, the service was top notch and friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and lively. Nothing but good things to say about the experience and can't wait to go back again - hopefully very soon!

While the food is always great, we opted to try sitting at the sushi bar as we always have gotten a table. Poor decision! Service was not good. The bar tender was our server whom largely neglected us. Took 40 minutes for her to come back from drink order to meal order. Don’t sit at the sushi bar unless you’re not hungry!

About the restaurant

Kenny’s Wood Fired Grill is reminiscent of a 1940’s Chicago style chophouse with a classy, relaxed and warm atmosphere featuring the finest wood grilled seafood and meats. Our well rounded menu represents the traditional American classics with an emphasis on Kenny’s specialty, New England style seafood. And, while you are waiting for your table in the dining room you can enjoy the energetic “goose bar” sipping on a Grey Goose™ martini poured from our signature frozen tap system or a great glass of wine.

We always enjoy Kenny's bought the food lacked flavor this time. The Shrimp Alfredo was salty and the pasta could not be eaten. Chicken was only okay. But I do enjoy the Expresso Martini.

Lavendou, a retreat into the French countryside - a place where life is savored as much as the food. Lavendou is thoroughly French, from the inviting decor to the gracious service and authentic cuisine. But don't expect it to be pretentious. Owner Pascal Cayet is dedicated to providing service that is friendly and efficient. And you will find Chef François Soyez's menu to be deliciously approachable. Serving the lighter fare of Southern France, Lavendou offers many items to tempt your taste buds.
