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.

Big fan of Fearings but our Valentines Day experience was very disappointing. We were seated almost an hour after our reservation time. The restaurant was packed with tables for two with very little space between tables. We got to know the crowd around us when a gentleman at an adjacent table leaned back in his chair and his head bumped my wife. My wife ordered the halibut dish and it was delved extremely over cooked and dry. The waiter was kind enough to replace the dish and take two glasses of wine off the tab. The restaurant vibe was like a banquet at a corporate retreat. Still a fan of Fearings but we will not be going back for a "special event".

Signed up for a dinner experience that was not explained anywhere. Sat at a group of 14 other people on Valentine’s Day despite signing up for a table for 2. Not a single other couple knew this was happening. Food was cold. Poured wine that we didn’t agree to and then surprise charge at the end. Overall poor experience.
