| Keeping things local and community focused, that’s keeping with the vibe of Oak Cliff. by Kerrie Sparks // food-sparks.com. Keeping things local and community focused, that’s keeping with the vibe of Oak Cliff. Co- owners Christopher Jeffers and Chris Zielke credit a unique, close-knit group of collaborators for the success of their restaurant, Bolsa. But if you were to ask the community, the credit would come back to them for bringing a style of eating, dining, and community cohesiveness to Oak Cliff that has been well received. |
| Bolsa makes its home in the iconic Settles Garage on Davis Street. The owners wanted something organic, they were looking to “build a concept around the building and the community.” They proudly honor the existing space, respecting the history of what it once was, leaving the majority of it as they found it. Hard lines of formed concrete and carbon steel are softened by an oversized amber drum light hovering above a walnut table for six in the center of the restaurant. Original screen prints from Texas artist Dirk Fowler anoint the dining area, and vintage gliders refinished by Zielke himself give rest to patrons outside. |
| Chef Graham Dodds uses a variety of local ingredients in the kitchen, spawning creations like the ‘Twig & Branch’ flatbread with wild arugula, Dallas goat cheese, and oven roast grapes. The menu changes almost daily, reflecting the bounty offered from local farms and vendors. The bar serves up refreshing cocktails like sangria rojo and fresh watermelon margaritas. |
| Bolsa 614 W Davis Street Dallas, TX 75208 www.bolsadallas.com Kerrie Sparks is the art director of a North Texas arts and architecture magazine and has quite the foodie following at www.food-sparks.com. |
