Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Dean Fearing

From the OpenTable editors: James Beard Award-winning 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.

    Our evening at Fearing's started a little choppy, and ended a bit frustrating, but everything in between was impeccable! We entered through the front door of the hotel. THere is a sign that says "Fearings", but that's just the bar. There were no signs and no one offered directions to the restaurant. That started the evening on a confusing note. The food was outstanding - every dish was memorable with bold flavors. The smoked asparagus almost stole the show, but every bite was fantastic. We had three different entrees and loved them all. The filet and chicken-fried lobster tail was the best! Dessert was incredible. We shared three desserts. The banana pudding is the best I've ever had. I'm from the South, I've sampled banana pudding a lot! Whatever you do, make sure you order that! Service was attentive and exceptional. One diner was gluten free. She was treated like a queen - the best gluten free dining experience she has ever had. The frustrating part? At the end of dessert, the wait staff forgot we existed. We kept waiting for the bill to come. Finally, I had to flag down an employee with my credit card. It was an odd miss for a staff that otherwise nailed it. The first and last impressions weren't great, but everything else will keep me coming back! New favorite Dallas Restaurant.

    Overall, we are very happy that we came. We are return customers. The scallops and pea purée was very tasty although the pasta was undercooked and had somewhat of a rubbery texture. The shrimp appetizer was well executed and delicious! Ambiance was excellent and the open kitchen concept works well! We overall loved the experience!
