Dallas diners can expect a new Mediterranean restaurant, Théa, to open on the fast-developing Knox Street in early 2027. Théa comes from Phoenix restaurateur Sam Fox, who created Flower Child, North Italia, Culinary Dropout and other eateries.
Théa will be a two-story rooftop restaurant overlooking the Katy Trail, according to a news release. It joins a fleet of new restaurants and towers in the Knox District, which will be anchored by the new Knox Hotel, an Auberge Collection property.
Théa features Dallas’ hottest cuisine of the moment: Mediterranean food. We’ve got Avra in Uptown and Alara in the Dallas Design District. Aba and Corsaire are coming soon. Théa is a variation on the same song, selling light, bright dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, zucchini chips, Greek salads, kofta skewers and a selection of roasted veggies.
According to the menu at the original Théa in Phoenix, sushi and flatbreads also made the list.

The restaurant was named for the Greek goddess of light, making it a fit for a sunny patio above Dallas’ Katy Trail. In addition to lunches and dinners, Théa is known for spritzes — alcoholic cocktails that are bubbly and easy to sip. The Spritz Parade ($19, according to the Arizona menu) is a trio of three: a dirty martini inspired spritz; a vodka-watermelon variety; and one with aperol and bubbles.
“What makes this location especially exciting is the daytime experience,” Fox said about Dallas, in a statement.
Fox’s influence on dining at large is notable as his restaurants continue to target Dallas as an expansion city. In 2019, The Cheesecake Factory Inc. bought Fox Restaurant Concepts for just over $350 million. Fox is now opening new restaurants, including Théa, under the parent company Author & Edit Hospitality.
