What Western Addition, Inc. does

Western Addition, Inc. (doing business as Western Addition Restaurant Group) is a privately held, founder-owned multi-concept restaurant operator headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 2018 by Mary Lucille and Robert Quick, the company operates five restaurant locations across three brands: il Bracco (upscale Italian with handmade pastas and in-house butchery, with three locations in Park Cities/Dallas, Post Oak/Houston, and Scottsdale/Paradise Valley), Balboa Surf Club (coastal-American with a sushi program in Houston), and Bobbie's Airway Grill (upscale American grill in a historic Dallas pharmacy building). The group serves upscale diners and visitors in premium urban corridors, generating revenue primarily through dine-in service, full-bar beverage sales, and patio dining, with a secondary stream of online gift card sales via the CardMarket platform.

The business is differentiated by a half-million-dollar curated art collection featuring museum-quality works by John Baldessari, Harry Bertoia, Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg, and by in-house culinary practices including daily butchery, fresh baking, and scratch sauces. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through online reservations and in-restaurant dining; the website and reservation infrastructure run on the BentoBox platform. Pricing is at typical fine-dining levels but is not publicly disclosed, and the company notes no enterprise contracts or external institutional investors.

The group is actively expanding: il Bracco - Scottsdale is scheduled for a March 30, 2026 grand opening, marking its first venue outside of Texas. The portfolio strategy emphasizes multi-market concept incubation (Italian, coastal American, upscale American grill) within premium real-estate corridors (Preston Center Plaza, Post Oak Boulevard, Scottsdale Resort Corridor). Recognition includes Robb Report's 25 Most Beautiful New Restaurants in America 2022 (il Bracco), Houston Chronicle's Alison Cook citation for potentially Houston's best cheesecake, and Dallas Observer coverage noting Western Addition's leading Texas position in Aperol sales.
