Thank God It's Thursday

Welcome to the (almost) weekend! I honestly think new places are popping up in Dallas each week, which is very convenient for me in writing this portion of my blog. 

This week I am heading over to Private/Social. Located in the heart of Uptown,  Private/Social prides itself on upscale dining, claiming to be
 "where the casual and upscale effortlessly mingle..."



The menu lends to a unique concept with two distinct themes:
Social: An intimate dining experience with a full dinner menu
Private: A casual and stylish lounge area featuring shared-plates


Here's the skinny on what to order in both situations along with cocktails to help take the edge off...

Light Bites
Start with a salad (order dressing on the side), Then choose one of the two entrees below:

• Tom Spicer’s Greens- Glazed Walnuts, Blue Cheese, Oranges, Balsamic
• Seared Scallops- Parsnip, Snow Peas, Chanterelle, Pomegranate
• Pan Seared Salmon- Roasted Kabocha Squash, Brussels Sprouts

If dining out with friends, here are a few things you can order to share that are on the healthier side. You can also order a salad with these appetizers to fill you up.

• Trio Dip- Fire Roasted Eggplant, Hummus, Bean and Sage
• Mamma Myint Thai Salad Rolls- Chicken, Kaffir, Orange, Lettuce, Fresh Herbs

Skinny Sips

Private Social has a cocktail menu that is sure to be full unique drinks you may be unfamiliar with. Here are a few suggestions to keep them calorie friendly

• Perfect Start- Cocchi Americano, Club Soda, Orange Peel
• Skinny Bubbles- Fruit Lab Jasmine Liqueur, Champagne, Baked Apple Bitters
• Vesper - Ultimat Vodka, Deaths Door Gin, Cocchi Americano

*Fun Side Note: The Chef at Private Social, Tiffany Derry, was on Top Chef!
