One of the most popular and acclaimed restaurants in Texas, Fearing’s attracts everyone from celebrities, rock stars, local diners and business travelers -- to heads of state and people who just plain love great food from Texas and the Southwest.

Join us in one of our seven unforgettable indoor and heated outdoor settings, ranging from casual to elegant, and including the legendary and always fun Rattlesnake Bar. Welcome to Fearing’s Restaurant – where Texas friendliness and great service are always available. And don’t forget to ask to meet Dean Fearing -- chef, recording artist, guitar connoisseur and best-selling author of The Texas Food Bible. If you’re lucky, he may just stop by your table to give you his own personal welcome.

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.

    Tea at the Ritz is a must! We came for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The sandwiches were our favorite, especially the ancho chicken salad. The harp player was such an elegant touch and wonderful background. It was a perfect tea experience.

    Remains one of the best dining experiences in all Dallas on so many fronts. Chef Fearing was still there on a Saturday night making his rounds. Fried lobster, beignet dessert and all the exotic meats on the menu were delicious as ever. Service and ambiance fantastic. This place should be on everyone’s list for a special night out.

    I was extremely grateful for the exceptional service we received during a recent visit. It was an important occasion, celebrating my Partner's retirement. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The attention to detail and care from the staff made our dining experience truly memorable.
