What we learn along the ‘restaurant roam.’

On Saturdays, we enjoy a full restaurant roam. What does that mean? We head out from our apt. and head in the ‘direction of the day.’ I have shared our Deep Ellum roams, our Mockingbird roams, our Lower Greenville Ave. roams, our Victory Park roams, our Cedars roams, and now I share our Lowest Greenville Ave. roam.

We had a colossal roam this weekend and met some more extraordinary people. Course 1: The Alamo Club, where we sat on the patio and met Cory. He is a hard-working, fast-talking, efficient, and polite server. We also reconnected with Brandi, our server from last summer, and caught up on life. Gentle reminder: people are faces until they’re your friends. www.alamoclubdallas.com

Course 2 began when we chose the newish place (new to us), a surprising, charming, well-created Meyboom Brasserie. https://meyboombar.com Greeted by Kit, we sat down in a conversation area and perused the menu. Kit took great care of us!! We enjoyed talking with him and hearing his story. Meeting the owner, April was such a treat! She sat with us and shared stories and details about the coming-to-fruition of this lovely addition to Greenville Ave. When you go, take notice of the hand-crafted bench on the patio, the hand-made M-shaped bar top, the bistro seating, and the fabulous specific decor of Belgium. Now for the food: the Belgian Street frites were delicious! The other gastro favs look divine too, but we were pretty full from Course 1.

Our finale, Course 3, was at our favorite sushi bar, Sushi Ya on Elm Street. www.sushiyatx.com.  I order the same thing week after week, a salmon skin roll because it makes me so happy. Mark tries different menu items, or Terry’s choice, every time! The owner and sushi chef, Terry, will make anything delicious and beautiful.  Leo, the other sushi chef, makes marvelous sushi as well. It’s a must-try place. Remember, they were a featured reel on TIK TOK!!

Life lesson: Amazing people make places amazing all over the world. Duck into an open door and see what’s inside and how the proprietors will make your day!!! #justsayhibook
