Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Dean Fearing

From the OpenTable editors: Named Esquire’s 2007 Best New Restaurant of the Year, celebrity chef Dean Fearing’s swanky spot still turns out some of the city’s most innovative Southwestern fare. Feast on achiote-glazed antelope over mole with a braised rabbit enchilada, all while seated in a series of elegant dining rooms with Texas accents like rawhide chandeliers. The restaurant's sprawling patio is a prime weekend spot thanks to live music and a lively brunch.

    I was overcharged and didn't notice until i got home. I paid for a dessert to take home and it was in my to go bag. Both of those instances made my experience bad.

    Fearing's - in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Downtown Dallas - continues to be among the finest restaurants in Dallas. Fabulous menu, wonderful service - great for family dinners, business dinners or special celebration. Menu changes seasonally - yet Dean Fearing always includes his favorites (that have been on the menu since the restaurant opened) plus a few seasonal specials. Halibut, scallops, steaks, his famous filet and fried lobster, his slice buffalo steak ... all wonderful dishes. Save room for dessert - very creative way to end the meal. Wine list is outstanding and you will find a new wine or too you may enjoy. Just a special evening at a special restaurant

    It was our first time dining at Fearing’s. The staff, the food, were absolutely amazing! We both chose the chef’s choice. Chef Fearing made time to come out and talk to us and other tables during the evening. Hands down to 3 restaurants we’ve been to. I would compare this to a Michelin Star restaurant. It’s right there!

    Top notch, may be the best restaurant in Dallas. Virtually everything was perfect including the service. With the food, superb attention to taste, plating, and delivery. Reasonably good wine selection and some half bottles too. Staff well trained and engaging. Overall, we had a wonderful and delightful experience.

    The Caesar salad was amazing. My wife's oyster salad was good not great and her main course was barely warm. My carpaccio was excellent but my A7 Wagyu steak was tough although flavorful. Paul the sommelier was outstanding as always. It never ceases to amaze me how knowledgeable he is. Thanks Paul
