We invite you to enjoy the Museum and to join us for a delightful lunch in The Gates Restaurant. As you enter the restaurant you will see the gates that were designed for the entrance to the first Museum in the Owen Arts Center in 1965. When the new Museum opened in 2001 the gates were brought for the restaurant. Enjoy specially prepared Spanish dishes including tapas and Paella Valenciana. Also delight in entrées especially perfected to accompany the theme of the current exhibition and created for you by our award-winning chef. The restaurant is a popular spot on the SMU campus and has an elegant setting amidst fine art.

Open for lunch Tuesday through Friday 11:30 – 2:00pm.

Dawn Rose can also organize set menus for groups.

Reservations welcome 214-768-3928.

The Gates restaurant will be closed from December 23 through the holidays and will reopen on January 6.
