    Absolutely adored this restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton! So impressed with the flavor and thoughtful presentation of the food. Our server was super helpful and able to accommodate our dietary needs! Got to meet the amazing pastry chef, Ronisha which was cool! Loved the curry and the gluten free vegan chocolate cake. Definitely will be back! 🥰

    I must say that everything about my dining experience was executed perfectly! The meal itself was sophisticated and elegant! It was however the most expensive meal I’ve ever eaten! If you are looking to impress someone this is a good choice. However there are more innovative choices in Dallas!

    This was definitely an amazing dining experience. We were treated well from the beginning to the end. Our server Eduardo was awesome! He made sure that were were all set throughout our time there. The level of attention to even the smallest detail was a really impressive factor. The food was undoubtedly some of the best cuisines I’ve ever had. The steaks were made to perfection. We had a wonderful night here.

    By far, one of the best meals I've ever had. Like I would fly back to Dallas just to eat here again. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. Last meal status. Staff and service was wonderful. Chef Fearing was warm and welcoming, he stopped by our table a few times to talk about the dishes which was so great. The open kitchen was fun to watch from our table. I could not have been more pleased. I will absolutely be back. Thank you for an extraordinary meal!!

    We concluded our week in the Dallas area with dinner at Fearing’s in The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. Dean Fearing is known as the “Father of Southwestern Cuisine” and his dishes feature gulf seafood and wild game. We started with cocktails and I finally found a restaurant in the Dallas area with 1908 Empress gin so I had to have an Empress gin & tonic. This is one of my favorite gins, for its clean taste and unique coloration. I ordered a bottle of 2018 Chateau Gloria, a wine from St. Julien (Bordeaux). Perhaps needing a few more years of maturation, it was silky, with a lot of fruit after opening up in the glass. We were served an amuse bouche on a spoon; I didn’t hear what it was … a small piece of toast with something piped on … whatever it was, it was delicious. My co-worker and I split the Southwest Sampler comprised of jumbo lump crab cakes, BBQ short rib enchilada and crispy lobster tacos. Each bite of heaven was accompanied by a sauce or topping (Chipotle Crema, Chorizo Queso and Avocado relish). Wow, if this is the appetizer, what will an entrée taste like? Two had the “must have” Dean’s Tortilla soup, it looked scrumptious! I’m not certain what the other dish was; it was a salad that could have served as a main dish and looked so appealing. I had the Achiote Glazed Broken Arrow Ranch Nilgai Antelope, featuring a Mole Rojo and a braised rabbit enchilada. If there is game on the menu; I’m in and this featured two … the antelope was so tender and flavorful and the rabbit was … I wanted more! Others ordered the Peppercorn Soaked Buffalo Tenderloin, Pan Seared Eastern Shore Sea Scallops, BBQ Spiced Beef Filet and Chicken Fried Maine Lobster, Pan Seared Dry Aged Rohan Duck Breast and the Nova Scotia Halibut. Every dish was a work of art, visually and taste-wise. A palate cleansing scoop of sorbet followed and some ordered dessert, including an interesting take on bread pudding ... banana pudding with mini Beignets. I opted to finish my meal with a cup of Illy coffee, good but not quite rich enough for me. What did I / we think? This was the best meal we had in Dallas and topped off our trip in a big way. If you’re in the area, Fearing’s Restaurant is a “must do”. I don’t understand why the Yelp rating is only 4 stars; it’s 5-plus for me. Highly recommended!

    This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I went for our third anniversary to treat ourselves, and it’s not the kind of place we usually go to. We’re usually more casual diners, and I’m sure the staff could tell. But they were extremely kind to us, and nobody was rude and we got congratulated by at least three or four different staff members for our anniversary. Not even to mention the food, which was absolutely amazing. I’ve never done fine dining before but this was an amazing entrance to it. My bf and I will most likely make this an anniversary tradition. They also gave us a little cake for our anniversary on the house which was so sweet and thoughtful.

    I came to Fearing’s by myself to celebrate my birthday after another well known restaurant cancel my reservation on a very short notice. Lucky me, because my experience was nothing more than exceptional. Food and service were top notch. Jesse made sure that I had great experience pairing wine with his recommendations for food. The tortilla soup is definitely a must have to start. For main I had the steak and lobster and it was excellent. If you a looking for a special dinner experience I highly recommend you to check Fearing’s.

    This is a very good restaurant. The food is exquisite and I would recommend it very much. The service was very good and the employees were kind. The atmosphere was nice and fancy. If the Michelin Guide came here it would definitely receive a star. The only problem we had at the place was to pay. The WIFI shut down and none of the cashiers were working, so we had to use an ATM. But still, really good!

    We had breakfast at Fearings, it was everything I expected, and more! Food was amazing! Our waitress and staff were on point. They made the breakfast special for me and my family. Management introduced themselves, and were very friendly, but didn’t try too hard. I live in Utah, and this breakfast was better than anything we have in Utah. Great job, highly recommended! Great atmosphere, clean, and very professional.

    Food is amazing! Came here for early Christmas dinner date with my husband last night and it was great. Their filet steak was to die for. I would say better than Nick & Sam. All the dishes we tried were very good and service was very good. For the appetizer we got fried oysters and lobster taco— oyster was still good but I think i prefer raw more, taco was really nice but wish there was more lobster in it. But the sauce of taco was very nice. Buffalo steak was tender soft with strong flavor, honestly tasted like a soft jerky haha still good but other steak(with the maine lobster) was just way too good. For the dessert we got banana pudding— what a wonderful way to have banana pudding hahaha loved it so much! Oh and their complimentary breads are so good too. I loved it! Overall, amazing experience and will definitely come back.

    Loved this restaurant! ❤️ The food was tasty and flavorful. The menu choices are original and unique. We had the Buffalo entree and the Antelope entree. We were pleased with both. Even the side veggies were uniquely flavored with tasty spices. Be sure to try the appetizers, too. We were too full for dessert, because the food portions are not small. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Overall a great restaurant except for the value. Cocktails are $25+ which is a bit excessive even for the Ritz. Food is good and tasty though not the most innovative, service is amazing and I even got a special birthday cake for my bday!

    Great only if you get patio seating the inside is little quite . The desserts were okay and coffee little pricey but if I had patio seating I would not mind the price for ambiance My review of my second visit : full dinner The service we received was exceptional, deserving of a five-star rating. Our waitress was attentive from the moment we sat down, making us feel welcome and taken care of. While the tortilla soup is one of their popular dishes, I personally enjoyed other entrees more. I highly recommend the beef fillet and fried lobster, which were both cooked to perfection. The quality of the meat was evident in every bite, and even though I requested it well done, it remained juicy and flavorful. To cap off our anniversary dinner, the restaurant surprised us with a small dessert, which was a lovely touch. When we asked for the check, they even brought us some delicious chocolate pastries from the Pastry Chef. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience that I highly recommend.

    Food was okay not worth the price though. Lacks flavor I had to take my food to go. Aside from that, great place to relax with drinks.
