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.

    We had a business team meeting on a Saturday night and had the privilege of dining in the wine room. Dean Fearing greeted us upon our arrival and we had a great wait staff that took care of us throughout the evening. The food and wine was phenomenal. Thank you for making our dining event so memorable.

    The best meal I've had in Dallas in a very long time. Halibut on top of chowder sauce was excellent as was Caesar salad.

    Excellent food and overall service. Main dining area has an open kitchen and noise in room is great for family and group gatherings. Main room is not ideal for romantic conversations due to noise. It has a pleasant calm but conversational atmosphere.

    Our server Martin was especially attentive and accommodating as my wife must be gluten and lactose free. He pointed out many items that she could eat that, by ourselves, we would have crossed off the menu. Service and food was outstanding! And of course, any Ritz-Carlton setting is usually one of the most elegant and glamorous you will find anywhere!

    We sat at the Chef's table for my mom's 80th birthday and Dean Fearing came out himself to chat with us. The service was amazing and the food was incredible. It was a great night.
