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.

Fearings has excellent food and very good service. The Thanksgiving dinner appetizers ( prawns and scallops were excellent 5 stars); the main dishes were excellent as well; and the deserts were good, the chocolate pecan tart was outstanding. The service was good and so was the value. I missed the little take-away that we had in previous years. Our servers were very good, but the experience felt ordinary compared to previous visits. Maybe people were tired by 5:30 PM. It was a Very good meal and worth the cost of the meal. I missed Chef Fearing and the buzz he creates and the air of festivity that usually happens at Fearings. This year we had a very nice delectable meal. In years past, I would describe that it was a festive holiday experience and a gastronomical delight.

Fearing’s is always a treat on Thanksgiving! The service is impeccable, the food is wonderful and Dean is a delightful host. We’ve been coming for years and he never fails to visit our table. The main menu and the vegetarian menu provide options for every member of our party. We can’t recommend Fearing’s highly enough!

We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday with 4 of our children ages 5 and under. Fearings went above and beyond to accommodate us and we have never had a restaurant experience with our kids like this. From the moment we walked in the hostess gave each of our kids a small stuffy to keep them entertained. The staff were extremely attentive to every detail and even helped buckle our youngest into booster seats. Dean Fearing came to say hi and make sure everything was perfect. 15/10 would highly recommend.

It has been several years since I have been here and, it wasn’t as good as I remembered. The service was adequate and the food was very good, but this was not a $350 dining experience (for two). The menu felt tired and the staff seemed indifferent. I’m hoping this was just an off night.
