Rose Tattoo comes from chef James Rose, and takes over the space in Richardson previously occupied by the ill-fated Parlour Wine Bar. James spent nearly 15 years as with Bob’s Steakhouse, as executive chef in the Plano, Denver, and San Francisco branches, before consulting with Phil Romano when he re-purchased Eatzi’s in November 2006. Rose and his wife Malesa had been talking about doing their own place and when they saw that the Parlour had closed, they called Dale Wamstad with whom Rose had worked when he was with Bob’s. They're keeping the wine-bar aspect but, given the bedroom-community nature of the area, they're making it more of a restaurant with wine, rather than the other way around. He's doing small plates to accompany the wine and then entrees such as veal chop, flat-iron steak, salmon, rosemary shrimp, and grilled chicken breast -- "gotta have that," he says.
