Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Design District

This was our second time to visit and it was even better than the first time. The steak was a little undercooked, but we ate it anyway. It still tasted amazing. The Asian kale salad is SO good! I wish that they would offer it as an entrée salad. We ordered the oysters (which I usually don't like) but they were delicious. The noise level is really ideal because the music is at an appropriate level to still be able to have a conversation. If I have one suggestion, it is that the layout of the tables does not offer much in the way of privacy. We were in the row of 2-tops and felt like we were dining with the two couples on either side of us. It would be nice if they could offer more booths or somehow create privacy. Nevertheless, we will keep going there because we keep having wonderful experiences.

Going to Salum is like going to a friend’s house for lunch, and your friend is a great cook. The staff are always welcoming, the owner stops by the table, the food is always excellent and menu is frequently updated. Salum is one of my go to lunch places.

Amazing Food & Incredible Experience! From start to finish, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs and gumbo, and as a self-proclaimed gumbo connoisseur, I can confidently say this was one of the best I’ve had in a long time—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, we went with a family staple: fried chicken. It was everything you want in fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The collard greens were packed with flavor, and the shrimp fried rice was a delicious surprise, full of bold and savory notes. To top it all off, my cousin and I enjoyed a few of their specialty cocktails, the Purple Rain was absolutely fantastic. Meeting the chef was a highlight; she was incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even more special. Although I don’t live in Dallas, I’m already looking forward to coming back. If you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try!

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch at CBD Provisions! It’s a beautiful restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff was very welcoming and super friendly. Our waiter was outstanding!
