Team behind Monarch restaurant opening Etta in downtown Dallas’ East Quarter in 2022

Etta, led by Michelin-starred chef Danny Grant, is known for its “wood-fired dishes” and the Pig Picnic.

Michelin-starred Chicago chef Danny Grant has already made his mark on Dallas, with Monarch Italian restaurant and Kessaku sushi lounge on the top floors of the renovated The National hotel downtown. He’ll expand his footprint in Dallas in 2022 with the opening of Etta restaurant in downtown’s East Quarter. It’ll be the third concept in Dallas from hospitality group What If Syndicate.

Etta East Quarter is considered a “neighborhood restaurant” with wood-fired pizzas, pastas, salads and a signature dish they call the Pig Picnic: a spread of roast pork loin and pork belly served alongside vegetables, bread and condiments. The restaurant will be two stories and 11,000 square feet, with a second-floor patio. Etta originated in Chicago with two restaurants, and now they are expanding. There are two new locations planned for 2021 (Culver City, Calif. and Scottsdale, Ariz.), and two others planned for 2022 in addition to Dallas (Las Olas, Fla. and Houston).
