One year after bringing its signature blend of elevated Southern dining and craft cocktails toTrinity Groves, Winsome Prime proudly celebrated a milestone.
On Friday, May 29, the restaurant hosted its one-year anniversary celebration featuring a special appearance by Grammy-nominated R&B artist Eric Benét, alongside an evening of music, decadent dinner, curated cocktails and the high-energy atmosphere that has helped establish it as one of Dallas’ premiere dining and social destinations.
Since opening its Dallas location at 331 Singleton Blvd., Winsome has quickly established a reputation for pairing refined cuisine with immersive hospitality. Located in the heart of Trinity Groves, the concept blends Southern-inspired steakhouse fare with a modern supper club experience, attracting tastemakers, professionals, athletes and entertainers from across the nation. The restaurant has received many notable nods within the last year, from “Best Brunch in Dallas” to making the “Hot List” for area dining, as well as a coveted nomination for “Best New Restaurant”.
The anniversary marks a full-circle moment for the brand, which expanded to Dallas following the success of its Houston concept. Over the past year, Winsome Prime has become known for signature dishes including its Hawaiian Ribeye, Snapper Orleans, Charbroiled Oysters, and Crab Beignets, while also hosting live entertainment experiences, and even more intimate gatherings in its very own speakeasy.
“We wanted Winsome Prime to feel like more than a restaurant,” said co-owner Rob Wright. “From day one, the vision was to create a space where food, music, culture and community all come together. Celebrating our first anniversary in Dallas, and doing it with someone as iconic as Eric Benét, was incredibly special.”
Known for timeless R&B hits including “Spend My Life With You” and “Sometimes I Cry,” Eric Benét’s appearance added a nostalgic and soulful element to the evening’s celebration. The soulful singer headed straight to a packed-out Winsome Prime following his performance alongside Lalah Hathaway and October London at Texas Trust CU Theatre. Singing hits “You’re the Only One” and “Georgy Porgy”, Benét—donned in head to toe white—wooed the crowd, and then graciously took photos with fans following his mini set. It’s moments like these, that truly make Winsome Prime a cut above the rest.
“Our success over this first year can be attributed to our ability to identify our target audience, focus on unique offerings that appeal to the market, and to fill a void in the area for this type of fine-dining-meets-supper-club concept,” Wright said. “We feel like we have carved out a niche in the food scene with exceptional customer service and our attention to detail to make the customers feel appreciated. Add to that a welcoming environment with the restaurant’s aesthetics and ambiance, and you have a recipe for success.”
Achieving staying power within the hospitality industry is difficult, especially in the city of Dallas; however, Winsome has seemed to have done it. With a lengthy list of regulars and a reservation list worth waiting for, this culinary gem has quickly become a Dallas staple. As for the future, even greater success and excellence are on the horizon.“Consistency is the key and we will continue to perfect our processes, service, and commitment to excellence. For year two, we will definitely seek more community involvement, as well as strategic partnerships within and around the Dallas metroplex.”
Winsome Prime opened in Dallas in spring 2025 and has continued to position itself as a prime destination for upscale dining in one of the city’s fastest-growing entertainment districts. For more information, visit WinsomePrime.com.
