Restaurateur Jon Alexis is opening a new neighborhood restaurant called Ramble Room in Dallas’ Snider Plaza. Ramble Room will feature classic American cuisine.
“I love approachable American cuisine. We wanted to do a style of restaurant that my friends as well as my parents would enjoy. Wrapped in old school hospitality with no pretense and an incredibly welcoming atmosphere, this is somewhere our guests can dine a few times a week,” Alexis said in a press statement.
Ramble Room, which will open in a two-story, 4,500-square-foot space, will take advantage of the dramatic high ceilings and glass windows throughout. From the crackling patio fireplace by the front door to the personal lamps at every booth, guests will melt into a cozy booth or catch a seat at the large, 25-person bar and “forget about the real world for a while,” Alexis said. Ramble Room will feature a main dining area and a spacious patio, as well as a second-floor mezzanine for large parties and private events.
“I believe great neighborhood restaurants start with an owner who lives in the neighborhood. This is a very personal project. Not only did I grow up in the area, my wife and kids lived 2 blocks from Snider Plaza. All our neighbors wanted to enjoy a place like Ramble Room but it didn’t exist. So we created it,” Alexis said.
Ramble Room is expected to open for dinner service at 6565 Hillcrest Ave., Ste. 150, Dallas, TX 75205 in early Spring 2023. Lunch and brunch offerings are expected once the restaurant has opened to the public.
Ramble Room is the second concept from Alexis’ new hospitality group, Imperial Fizz. Escondido Tex-Mex, the first from Imperial Fizz, has become a neighborhood hotspot for Preston Hollow. Alexis is also known for his family-owned, award-winning TJ’s Seafood Market & Grill, as well as creating the popular Malibu Poke concept with locations in Austin and Dallas.
