Did anyone catch Don Artemio as the setting for a pivotal scene in the latest Landman episode, where oil tycoon Monty Miller (played by Jon Hamm) strikes a risky business deal? Owners of the James Beard Foundation award-nominated restaurant recently bought the adjacent space with plans to transform the 3,585-square-foot building into an upscale Latin seafood destination called Dos Mares Restaurant. While details on the new concept remain scant, Don Artemio’s owners are unlikely to stray from their signature approach of combining authentic Mexican flavors with a modern, upscale dining experience.
