A great small and intimate restaurant. Owner seated us and check on us several times. The wait staff was attentive and answered any questions we had. The food was exceptional! We were not rushed and enjoyed a great and leisurely dinner. Looking forward to the next time.

Paris 7th

Traditional French

West 7th Corridor

About the restaurant

Paris 7th … as in West 7th Street, where we are located in the cultural District of Fort Worth just west of downtown. Paris 7th … as in the very cultural 7th arrondissement of THE Paris.

The Paris 7th district is where you will find some of the world’s most recognized landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d’Orsay and Les Invalides Museum, home to Napoleon’s tomb but also, a quartier known for its fine French food. Cafés, restaurants and gourmet shops are woven into the beautiful streets of the left bank but since we can’t go tonight, here we are at Paris 7th. Let us entertain you!

After 33 years as Saint-Emilion, we moved the menu just down the street, here, to a more spacious dining room. Now, we have a kitchen worthy of all that our talented kitchen staff can turn out. We have room for our ever-growing wine collection and tables to accommodate parties of 8 and sometimes more. We even have a petit lounge where you can have a cocktail before dinner.

Mesero is beyond Tex Mex, but lives up to its promise of Mexican Spirit American Life. One taste of the iconic Queso Mesero and brisket tacos will keep you coming back for more. The shrimp loaded ceviche is truly crave worthy. Be sure not to skip the amazing drink list, it’s the best part!

Our server was excellent, very attentive. Her suggestion of the brussels sprout salad for this vegetarian was a good one; it was delicious. Husband’s Wedge Burger was perfectly cooked with a fried egg over hard, as requested. His fries were wonderful (I stole a few), delicately seasoned with more than just salt. Unfortunately, kitchen had an issue with daughter’s petit filet, which was ordered mid-well and served rare. Sending it back resulted in a mid-rare steak. Manager graciously took care of the problem and daughter got her steak, which she rated as “soooo good.” We will definitely be back.

Everything was great! Service was impeccable. Only complaint was the stuffed shrimp were super small. Thought it would be Dane size as the shrimp on the tower but it wasn't. Were overcooked but recooked and texture was much better. Still wasn't worth $44 for small shrimp. Definitely wouldn't order again. Every thing else was A-1!

Waters Restaurant

$31 to $50

Seafood

Fort Worth Downtown

About the restaurant

At Waters Restaurant – Sundance Square, we source the freshest wild, seasonal, and sustainable seafood available. Our style brings together flavors of the southwest, with hints of Louisiana, but our featured ingredients themselves typically speak the loudest. Our Signature Gumbo hastens back to some Creole roots when Jon Bonnell cooked in the French Quarter of New Orleans, while our beef gets the royal treatment Chef Felli has made famous for much of his career. Diver scallops from Maine get a slight TexMex makeover after being perfectly golden-crust-seared, while jumbo lump crabcakes celebrate beautifully fresh crab as their essence, never loaded with fillers just to save a buck. We will never utilize third-world fish farms, cheap seafood substitutes, artificial flavorings, or exploit threatened species at Waters. We strive for only the best experience for our guests, while at the same time being good stewards of our environment and our future.
