Welcome to Fearing’s Restaurant – where Texas friendliness and great service are always available.

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.

    Our experience for Christmas dinner was less than expected. The room we were seated in did not have the ambiance as the rest of the restaurant. It appeared to be they converted the glassed in patio to extra dining seating for the occasion. In my opinion they fell short. The food was outstanding! The service was good.

    We went for Christmas lunch/bruch. Have been here many times on holidays. This year, the food quality was lacking. Prime rib, the signature main entree, was tough and inedible. Zero quality control by the chefs. Went back three times to see if next cut would be better, but all were terrible. Usually the food is excellent but this time I felt ripped off. Many other items were decent.

    With no exaggeration, one of the best meals and service anywhere. Chef Fearing and team did an amazing job on their Christmas Eve - 3 course menu. You have to experience the quality and flavors there to get a meaningful appreciation. Top quality, all around!
