D Magazine - November 2003
I was delighted to find how little Newport’s has changed
since it opened 20 years ago as the first fine-dining restaurant
in the revival of Dallas’ historic West End. Although
the ice-packed display of fresh fish has disappeared and oysters
are no longer on the menu, the concept remains as viable and
vital as ever. Seafood is flown in daily from both coasts.
Under the direction of Salvador Soto, preparation, especially
from the mesquite grill, has been honed to a fine standard.
Except for my guest, who suffered enough beef (and corn) for
several lifetimes during her Midwestern childhood, I would
have been tempted to try the center-cut, prime-aged strip
steak. But choosing from the imaginative selection of affordable
sautéed, grilled, or steamed seafood reminded me why
I used to go to Newport’s so frequently.
The light curry of the tropical fruit aioli on the side of
an appetizer of two crab cakes worked well with the supporting
field greens. Plump escargot with portobello pieces and small
cubes of feta cheese arrived in a soppable white wine sauce.
Clean, firm, perfectly grilled sea bass was simply excellent.
The herb-crusted salmon special was tender and properly moist
at its center. Finally, a deep-dish Key lime pie brought Florida
to Dallas.
The setting—terraced dining levels and the rails of the
wooden bar overlooking the vast, brick-lined artesian well
of the original brewery—equals the food as an attraction
to this well-sustained business. As long as we have Newport’s,
we’ll never be completely landlocked. The Brewery, 703
McKinney Ave. 214-954-0220. $$-$$$. —Robert Fox

Newport’s recently received a “thumbs-up” for
their deep-dish key lime pie from Sky, the in-flight publication
for Delta Airlines.
Please contact Newport’s at (214) 954-0220 for more information
or to special order a key lime pie. |
