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.

    A must try brunch experience. The crab eggs benedict and the lobster cobb salad were amazing. The biscuits are a must as an appetizer. The service was amazing. We will be back!

    Celebrated a birthday tonight and this was the best choice. Service was amazing and food was outstanding too. Sommelier is the best. Served my granddaughter grape juice in a wine glass. This was a special experience.

    Food is always exceptional at Fearings. Some of the best Dallas has to offer. Portion sizes are a little on the small size considering the prices.

    It was by far the most incredible wine tasting event I have ever attended. The sommeliers Paul and Miguel made the event so special with their knowledge of the wines. They also made the atmosphere fun for all of the guests. The room, food, and wine were all fantastic. We will be back.

    It was a sister’s 75th birthday. Fearing’s went ABOVE and BEYOND to make her birthday very special. They put a beautiful birthday greeting inside the menu for each of us. Trey had a crystal birthday plaque on the table. The complimentary dessert was decadent. When most restaurants just put “Happy Birthday,” Fearing’s wrote in chocolate Happy 75th Birthday on tye dessert plate. 75 is a milestone birthday and they certainly made hers special.
