About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

About the restaurant

It’s often said that the smaller the size, the more amplified the essence of a restaurant tends to be. This sentiment rings especially true for Bar Sardine. Helmed by École Ducasse-trained Executive Chef Elliot Azoulay, this French mini bistro captures the essence of vibrancy, allure, and effortless Parisian charm—the platonic ideal of art de vivre.

Absolutely top-flight! Our first visit to this restaurant, and we were totally blown away by the level of service, attention to detail, the staff, and the quality of the food. Everything was perfect, just a real delight. My only minor complaint might be that it is a lively and noisy restaurant. But that is a minor quibble with the overall stunning facility that it is.
