The latest addition to the burgeoning neighborhood around the South Side Lofts on Lamar Street is definitely a welcome one. Just a block from the Dallas Convention Center, chef Doug Brown's Amuse, (named from the French amuse-bouche -- a small appetizer given to diners upon their arrival) is an extension of his highly successful catering business, Beyond the Box. His restaurant and lounge is super-sleek and highly chic with modern red and white sofas set beneath eye-catching abstract paintings. The booths sport smooth, jet-black banquette seating and sparkling stemware ready to be filled with a nice selection of wine. The menu is bistro-eclectic and offers entrees like orange balsamic-roasted chicken, bleu cheese fried chicken and cider-marinated pork chops. As if that weren't enough, Brown has also included patio dining with an exceptional view of the sparkling downtown Dallas skyline. Go see what the skyline looks like from the South Side! DJs spin on the weekends.
