Elm & Good

Housed in a historic, Beaux-Arts style building that once housed the Knights of Pythias Temple, the Kimpton Pittman Hotel has finally provided Deep Ellum with its first boutique hotel. And with it comes Elm & Good, a modern American tavern helmed by chef Graham Dodds, best known as one of Dallas' farm-to-table dining pioneers. Expect to find a seasonal menu featuring handmade pastas along with wood-fired meats and vegetables. Standouts include Dodd's twists on southern classics like hush puppies with charred okra, pimento cheese, and Cajun remoulade, and vegan barbecued carrots served with collard greens, kohlrabi slaw and baked gigante beans. Cocktails are top notch, and desserts like churros with dulce de leche sauce are a must.
