Lakewood ’cue

Lakewood Smokehouse is open at 1901 Abrams, the space left vacant by Ali Baba Mediterranean Grill. The upscale barbecue joint received an overhaul that gives it a distinct Texas vibe; it will serve brisket, smoked turkey and sausage with sides such as macaroni and cheese, fried okra, green beans and potato salad. Don’t expect to shuffle through a line to pick it up; Lakewood Smokehouse is a full-service restaurant. The concept is brought to the neighborhood by Jason Hall, the owner of 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House in Frisco, and John Pantenburg and Mike Mullen, who have been friends and co-workers in the restaurant industry for 20 years.

Latin vibes

La Bodega’s, a Latin cuisine concept at 1905 Greenville, is hoping to open soon. Owners James and Iana Price, who also own Chombos at the Dallas Farmers Market, had hoped to open by the first of the year, but the space was still under construction last month. Their plan for the space on Greenville at Alta, which has had high turnover the past few years, includes a patio in front. James is from Panama and has lived in Dallas most of his life. “It’s Latin cuisine, so a lot of Central American, Panamanian, a lot of Argentinean dishes, Puerto Rico, maybe Cuban,” he says. He’s also planning a fresh-squeezed juice bar and “a lot of new concepts from Europe and Central America” for the drink menu.

Fine arts

The Lakewood Conservatory of Fine Arts opened recently, offering music, dance and art lessons for children up to 18 years old. Two women, Eva Brandys and Ewa Korze-

After more than nine months of construction, the ER On Lovers Lane and the Imaging Center On Lovers Lane opened. The 14,000-square-foot building is at 5800 E. Lovers, across the street from Central Market. It’s a division of Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake and serves as a satellite ER, offering 24-hour emergency care every day. It is staffed by certified emergency medicine physicians and registered nurses, and accepts all major insurance plans. The Imaging Center On Lovers Lane offers advanced 3D mammography, called breast tomosynthesis, for breast cancer screening. Visit doctorshospitaldallas.com for more information.

Cajun crab

A new Cajun restaurant called Ragin’ Crab is open on Greenville at Prospect, the space Kush Mediterranean Grill and Hookah Lounge occupied until recently. Ragin’ Crab’s owner, Steven Sohn, also owns Hibashi Teppan Grill Sushi Bar in Far North Dallas. There are a couple Cajun food restaurants on Greenville already, and Daddy Jack’s has been serving seafood on the street for 22 years. But manager Steven Whitear says he’s confident Ragin’ Crab’s food, service and sports bar vibe — complete with 15 TVs — will distinguish it on the block.
