Dallas (Dallas County) — JOEY Restaurants opened JOEY Maple this week. Located at 2508 Maple Avenue, the restaurant will offer a dynamic new destination for Uptown Dallas residents and visitors alike, serving lunch, happy hour and dinner. As part of the brand’s continued U.S. growth, JOEY Maple will bring the company’s signature blend of globally inspired cuisine, exceptional service and vibrant atmosphere to the neighborhood.
“Uptown Dallas has one of the most energetic dining communities in the country, and expanding in Texas is a significant milestone for our brand, representing an exciting step in our growth strategy,” said Layne Krienke, president of JOEY Restaurants. “We designed JOEY Maple around a menu that gives guests a reason to keep coming back, from approachable favorites to globally inspired dishes and signature JOEY creations. Whether it’s a quick lunch or dinner that turns into drinks, the food is at the heart of the experience.”
Designed as a modern, dynamic escape, JOEY Maple offers a comfortably elegant retreat in Uptown Dallas. The exterior makes a strong architectural presence through expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and sculptural vertical wood screening that softens the building’s profile. With over 7,800 square feet, the design centers on an immersive indoor-alfresco environment, anchored by a fully operable skylight and perimeter operable windows that create the sensation of dining outdoors while enjoying the comfort of the interior.
Guests are welcomed by a fire bowl lounge surrounded by lush plantings and greeted by a sculptural curved millwork wine display that establishes a strong sense of craftsmanship and hospitality. A signature statement light installation introduces a playful, artistic element that immediately defines the restaurant’s character. Guests will also delight in a gallery wall featuring one-of-a-kind works by America Martin, B Shawn Cox, and James Wolanin. The collection is anchored by a custom-commissioned piece from artist Mina Eskandari that pays homage to the site’s previous identity as a beloved day lounge and pool destination, celebrating the location’s history while giving it a contemporary new expression.
Positioned as a focal point at the back of the restaurant, the open kitchen is highlighted by a dramatic lighting installation where the warm amber glow will draw guests through the space and enrich the dining atmosphere.
