Longtime Dallas chef Sharon Van Meter recently opened a new spot in Oak Cliff, just a wee bit north of Bishop Arts District. Beckley 1115 is in
Dallas chef Sharon Van Meter recently opened a new spot in Oak Cliff in what used to be Victor Hugo's on Beckley Avenue. It's just a wee bit northeast of the bustling Bishop Arts District, but unlike the arts district, the new Beckley 1115 has parking.
"This has been the hardest year in the industry that I've ever experienced," Van Meter says about opening a restaurant during the pandemic, then laughs at the fact that she forged ahead anyway. She brings upa couple of times when talking about her vision for this space, where she hope to create a neighborhood feel.
Van Meter scooped up chef Mert Atak, who is originally from Istanbul and most recently worked at Mot Hai Ba in Victory Park, which shuttered last fall.Walking into the restaurant seems like walking into someone’s home. The menu is modest in size, but well-rounded. It includes Van Meter’s velvety tomato bisque soup that is something of local legend and comes with a grilled cheese sandwich made with baguette bread .
The wine selections change seasonally and they offer 3- and 6-ounce pours or whole bottles. There's a larger selection of reds. There's also an ode to Van Meter's support of local companies; diners can imbibe in wine from Dallas-based Checkered Past .The two most expensive bottles on the menu are a Brothers cabernet from Sonoma and a Châteauneuf de Pape .
