The Westin Southlake Hotel opened in Southlake last month, and with it came a brand new modern American restaurant called Jellico’s.
Spearheaded by executive chef Jenna Kinard, Jellico’s serves up new takes on classic American dishes inside a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant serves up three meals a day, plus brunch on the weekends.
“We hope our guests feel a sense of comfort and familiarity when they dine with us, from the recipes we have thoughtfully created over the past year to the warm and welcoming design of the restaurant to our Southern hospitality,” chef Kinard says via press release.
Stopping in for breakfast or brunch yields a tasty result, whether you enjoy the sourdough breakfast sandwich made with farm eggs, shaved ham, white cheddar and breakfast potatoes or the avocado toast, featuring watermelon radish, ricotta and sea salt. If you drop by for lunch, be sure to bring your friends, because Jellico’s lunch menu features eight shareable items. The tuna crudo is a must-try with its cherry shoyu, ginger-lemongrass vinaigrette and toasted sesame seeds, as well as the cheese and charcuterie board, made with cured meats, local cheese and seasonal fruits, vegetable pickles and jams.

The Curve Lounge bar also serves scratch cocktails made from fresh, local ingredients. The Billionaire Sour provides a malty flavor with Texas Silver Star Whiskey, lemon juice, golden syrup and absinthe bitters, while the Westy will make your taste buds sing with its Woodford Reserve bourbon, nonino amaro quintessentia and fresh grapefruit.
But dinner is where Jellico’s really shines. The menu features seven standout entrees, from shrimp and grits made with gouda, cream corn, lardon and smoked hock jus to the grilled New York strip steak, served with chimichurri, potato puree and roasted mushrooms. And it’s never a bad idea to end your meal on a sweet note, whether you enjoy the s’mores pop tart with hazelnut crumble, toasted marshmallows and horchata ice cream or the coconut panna cotta with almond tuile, passionfruit, kiwi and mango.

“Jellico’s is more than just a dining experience — it’s a place to make new memories with friends and family,” chef Kinard says via press release.
