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.

    Always an enjoyable, top-notch dining experience. We love the ambiance eating in Dean's Kitchen. The food is delicious and the setting is devine and subdued and quiet enough to have a wonderful conversation. The service was excellent, altho there was some awkwardness and uncertainty around the cocktail and wine orders.

    Order the buffalo… I repeat, order the buffalo. There is no reason to get anything else unless you’ve already had it before. Ambience is perfect for a date night. Be prepared to spend over $200.

    Everything was amazing! We were there for a birthday celebration and the chef helped us with some food requests and came up with something awesome! The staff, food and of course, Dean were all awesome! And it's so great to have incredible, gourmet vegetarian options rather than the obligatory pasta primavera that most places offer! Truly a lovely experience.

    Very well polished execution of our meal from start to finish with a friendly/informative team of servers. A visit to the table by the very personable chef, Dean Fearing, was a bonus. Standouts included the perfect Margarita, the amazing tortilla soup, the light flaky Halibut, their rendition of surf and turf with Chicken Fried Lobster and finally the Banana pudding with cinnamon beignets!

    I was so surprised that our dinner was between okay and good. I had wanted to eat here for years. Our appetizer was so overcooked it was hard to cut. The soup was too salty to finish. The service was rushed. Our drinks, appetizers and dinner took 65 minutes end to end. I specifically asked the server to slow it down and not rush. I am sure this is not the standard, but it was disappointing.

    I must say that the food was nothing less than outstanding! We shared an appetizer, had our own entrees, and shared a dessert. The dessert was a fried apple pie with Crème Fraîche, caramel, and ice cream. The flaky crust on the fried pie tasted like sweet butter!! We were stuffed but ate the whole thing. 🥰 😋 We are a bit of a food snob and I would highly recommend trying out Fearing’s for those that have never been. The drinks were over the top expensive to us, $25 for a standard cocktail but I knew what to expect before I went. We bought cocktails anyways - still cringed at the price. I’d love to go back and do their high tea.

    The service we received at Fearungs for a birthday dinner was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, the staff made us feel welcome and attended to, ensuring our experience was memorable. Our servers were attentive and courteous, checking in regularly to anticipate our needs without being intrusive. As for the food, the majority of our meals were truly superb, each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. However, the Southwest sampler did not quite meet our expectations—it lacked the vibrant flavors we anticipated. Overall, the evening was a delightful celebration, with excellent service and most dishes leaving a lasting impression.
