Ring My Bella

Bella Bar & Restaurant Opens

Waiter approaches and fills water glasses. Woman catches him glancing at her chest; then again, her cleavage is spilling over.

Hello and welcome to Bella Bar & Restaurant, Uptown’s new American bistro open for lunch and dinner. We pride ourselves on classic, affordable dishes — don’t let the owners’ former Nick & Sam’s days fool you.

If you’re interested in drinks (winks at man), we have a full bar and incredible wine list with more than 60 selections. And be sure to save room for dessert: The chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream is, well, orgasmic (woman blushes).

Sir, if I were a betting man, I’d think you’d find the horseradish-crusted filet with Parmesan fries an ace. And for the lady, I might suggest the seafood trio — sea bass, scallops, shrimp — with risotto and Thai curry.

That is, if you’re into menages a trois.

Bella Bar & Restaurant, 2626 Howell Street, suite 100 (214-855-5001 or belladallas.com).
