This was our 2nd time eating at Fearing’s. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience and we have absolutely loved it both times. I highly recommend the Southwest Sampler for an appetizer. We’ve tried 6 cocktails now and all of them have been very good, and the south of the border soup is also fantastic! As for the appetizers, the achiote nilgai antelope is spectacular. One of my favorite things about Fearings is that the plates are different from your usual steakhouse experience. I was surprised it did not receive a michelin star as it is the best dining experience I have had, and that goes for both times we have been there. I really can’t recommend this restaurant enough! With 2 drinks each, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a dessert it comes out to around $300 but in my opinion it is perfect for a special occasion!
