North Dallas

About the restaurant

Kawa Omakase is upscale modern ambiance, French Italian techniques infused with Japanese Cuisine, offering sophisticated tasting menus.

Omakase has a modern ambiance lounge up front with a counter top dining room in the back. Connecting both rooms with long hallway of wine display. 18 seats available and is limited to 38 people per day.

It is here where guests wisely place their faith in the hand of Executive Chef, Bit “Sunny” Ko where each dish is thoughtfully hand crafted by scratch. Each individual course stands as its own full dish of skillful preparation that includes mind blowing amuse bouche and not so traditional nigiri.

At over two hours, this is an extended and enchanting experience, enhanced by wine and sake pairings where all element is introduced and explained to guests by the light-hearted and engaging team.

Coppell

About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

West 7th Corridor

About the restaurant

Paris 7th … as in West 7th Street, where we are located in the cultural District of Fort Worth just west of downtown. Paris 7th … as in the very cultural 7th arrondissement of The Paris.

The Paris 7th district is where you will find some of the world’s most recognized landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d’Orsay and Les Invalides Museum, home to Napoleon’s tomb but also, a quartier known for its fine French food. Cafés, restaurants and gourmet shops are woven into the beautiful streets of the left bank but since we can’t go tonight, here we are at Paris 7th. Let us entertain you!

By participating in our program, at-risk young people rotate through every aspect of the restaurant from waiting tables to washing dishes, while working side-by-side with established chefs.

The paid internship gives them the opportunity to exercise and practice their new skills while continuing to develop leadership, social, and vocational skills for as long as they choose to maintain involvement with Café Momentum.
