Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Michelle Carpenter

From the OpenTable editors: The James Beard Awards, Eater Dallas, and D Magazine have all showered praise on chefs Michelle Carpenter's and Terance Jenkins's Cajun/Creole charmer in Oak Cliff. The duo cut their teeth in New Orleans, and that influence shines in everything from statement fleur-de-lys wallpaper to elegant dishes like shrimp and grits (cornmeal porridge) and vegan gumbo.


Philosophy

Our mission is "Bienvenue to All!" Our restaurant celebrates the hospitality and gastronomy of authentic, scratch-made Louisiana and Southern foods with a focus on environmental stewardship and our immediate community. Our menu represents the integrity and connections between our chef, our farmers, and ranchers. From mustard to sausage to biscuits, nearly every item is made in-house.

    I've never loved gumbo, and the gumbo was so delicious I want to eat it every day! Amazing fried green tomatoes. The shrimp and grits were wonderful and so was the bread pudding. Service was great too! I went there for my birthday and had a lovely dinner.

    Service was great. Ambiance was amazing. Felt like server was hurrying us to order. Staff was attentive and friendly. Was excited for the food and felt a little underwhelmed with what we received.

    We went to Restaurant Beatrice for their special Cochon du Lait dinner last night. As always at a restaurant run by Michelle Carpenter everything was exquisite. The food and drinks were exceptional and the ambiance was excellent! We will come back again and again to Restaurant Beatrice as well as Michelle's other restaurant - Zen Sushi. If you have been do yourself a favor and give these places a try - you won't be sorry!

    Excellent food & cocktails. The jelly jar glasses for water bugged me as it took the ambience down but it didn’t seem to bother my dining companions. I think the restaurant is worthy of something a bit more elegant but what do I know? I still dress up for an evening out.

    Limited menu means everything is fresh and delicious. We loved both gumbos, the shrimp and grits, and the redfish special. Too full for the wonderful sounding desserts, but did share a scoop of the praline ice cream made especially for this restaurant. Yum!

    We were celebrating a big birthday and, wow, did Beatrice deliver! The food was delicious and beautifully plated. The service was attentive. The birthday sparkler in our celebrant's amazing cake was the perfect ending to the evening! It was all we wanted and more!

    My second visit. I really want to support this local place, but just can’t. First visit, food was OK, but the bar was lacking. Super slow service and couldn’t even execute their own specialty cocktails, but this was when they were pretty new. Just went back. Food was still OK. There was only one front of house person. He seated people, also was both the bartender and waiter. Definitely inattentive - no water refills, dropped the entree without a word because he had to seat someone, never checked to see how we were doing or if we needed anything, didn’t stop by to ask if we wanted more drinks (empty glasses sat for the entire meal), and good luck getting his attention without standing up and waving my arms (not something I would want to or should have to do)… you get the idea. When he finally returned after we sat staring at our empty plates, we just wanted the check so we could leave. Not the dining experience anyone would want. He was one person doing everything for 5 inside tables and one outside table. However, I’m not spending my time and money for a sub-par experience. If you can’t execute, don’t accept my reservation. So many other choices for restaurants.
