The new restaurant, which will be the Harwood District’s 21st concept restaurant and the second at No. 14, will be an artsy upscale Japanese-inspired eatery and Harwood’s most luxurious one so far. The samurai-inspired Docent will offer diners a sushi bar as well as an extensive sake and wine selection to complement HWD beef their prime-graded Akaushi wagyu cattle and Kobe beef.
Banner printing services can help newly-launched businesses grab the public’s attention.
Taylor Kearney, the VP of Hospitality for the Harwood Group explained the restaurant’s merging of Japanese culture with the more familiar classic steakhouse saying:
"Acknowledging Texas’ deep-rooted passion for beef, Docent will honor tradition by presenting iconic Texas-style cuts, like a 40 oz. long bone cowboy ribeye, alongside an expansive selection of exquisite seafood and diverse offerings to satisfy every palate."
The “docent” in the name Docent Steak & Lounge refers to the term used for art gallery guides and alludes to the role art will play in the restaurant’s décor. The two-story restaurant will offer up almost 100 museum quality pieces of samurai armor and art reflecting the Japanese culture and history covering three centuries.
