Steve Fields Steak and Lobster Lounge

The big opening is almost here.

Steve Fields, the nightclub impresario who developed Dallas Alley with Spencer Taylor nearly two decades ago, is going solo. He's severing most of his ties with Truluck's Seafood, Steak, Crab House to launch a steak house, of all things. It's called Steve Fields Steak and Lobster Lounge, and it will open in May on the corner of Park and Preston in Plano in an old Grady's location. "This is a little nerve-wracking for me," he says. What will set this prime steak house apart from the rest of the Dallas rib eye litter? The lobster lounge and its ebony digital baby grand piano and a huge lobster tank near the entrance. Chef Johnny Carino of the Truluck's Restaurant Group is developing the menu, and Fields says he is getting backing from some Truluck's investors, which operate six of the stone crab restaurants in Austin (2), Houston, Dallas, Addison and Naples, Florida.
