    I've been wanting to go here for years and I had a special occasion to celebrate. They have a $50 prix fixe menu which includes an appetizer, salad and main course. The tomato basil soup was fantastic, the salad was fresh and I chose the airline chicken. I'd had steak elsewhere the night before, which is the only reason I didn't get the filet. The service was perfect and the food was excellent. The inside is very quaint and intimate. I felt like I was in the French countryside and loved the atmosphere. We ordered dessert even though it wasn't included with the prefix. Definitely no regrets there. I highly recommend this place for any occasion. The only thing I would like to see is for them to bring back a full menu. Reservations are required and for weekends, definitely make one in advance.

    Update: 01/19/2022 My wife and I had one of the most enjoyable evenings. The food was outstanding, only to be topped by the service. Ondine was wonderful and helped make the entire dining experience so much more pleasurable. We look forward to our next visit. The food was amazing as well as the service. Worth every penny. We'll be back.

    If you're looking for a romantic, intimate dining experience, look no further. Saint-Emillion has now landed in our top five restaurants to eat in DFW. This hidden gem offers a beautiful selection of authentic French cuisine and impeccable service. As you enter the restaurant, you're hit with an array of aromas that will make you think you've been transported back to the outskirts of Paris. The ambiance sets a cozy yet romantic atmosphere making it the perfect date night spot. One of their most unique offerings is the “wine table” where guests can view their selection of bottles and items sold by the glass. Between their Onion Soup, Filet Au Poivre & Frites and homemade desserts it was hard to pick a favorite. What was truly a delight was their Salade et Fromage which is traditionally served at the end of a main course in Europe. We also appreciated how the owner, Bernard, personally greets each of his customers by going table to table ensuring their experience is nothing less than spectacular. And lastly, reservations are a MUST as the seating is limited.

    4+ star. A cute little French dining cottage in the Fort Worth cultural district. The service is excellent, staff are very attentive, yet not intrusive. Decent selection of menu. I enjoyed the calamari, pates du chef, and the halibut but not impressed with the dessert. Good selection wine available at the table.

    WOW! Where do we begin? Front the moment you pull up, you feel like you’ve been whisked away to a French country side cottage. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere is divine. The food and drinks are indescribable. We particularly loved the interactive wine list (every restaurant needs this!!!!), the French onion soup & the fixed menu which made it soooo authentic. Best meal I’ve ever had by far. Can’t believe this place!!!!

    This French restaurant is an absolute gem! This is on my top three favorite restaurants. I love Toulouse, but this definitely is a new place to frequent for date night. Hubby had the duck and I had the seafood with scallops, mussels, and shrimp. Goodness it was wonderful. We had the sautéed calamari for an app! It is highly recommended if you read my review. The server Catherine was so sweet and attentive. Chef was kindest and chatted with us while taking a moment from the kitchen. What a fabulous time we had, and cannot wait to come back.

    For our 44th anniversary together we had dinner at Saint-Emilion Restaurant in Fort Worth on June 16, 2017. Their menu is extravagant, to say the least. You can check it out on their web site. Our server's name was Chris, and he was as excellent as it gets, without being overbearing or invasive at all. He is also the sommelier, which worked out very well for us. For our special dinner we started out with warm bread and butter and an amuse-bouche of cucumber slice with salmon mousse. She commented that the salmon flavor was too heavy for her taste. She and I both ordered the scallop appetizer. I also ordered the foie gras as a second appetizer because this is about the only place I know that serves it. Our scollops arrived perfectly cooked with a great sear on both sides, 2 for each of us. The sauce was really more of a tomato puree. It may sound simple but it was rich and very subtle tomato with savory herb flavors. It was so good I deliberately ate very slowly to make the pleasure last as long as possible. I must add the chardonnay by the glass that was recommended, EnRoute, provided one of those rare times when the wine actually enhances the flavors of the dish and vice versa. Very nice. The foie gras came with a light sauce with grapes and nuts with some crostini. This was a much lighter version of the pate as opposed to the more dense, richer version that we've had in the past, primarily in France. I actually prefer the other, more dense style of foie gras. Still, it was delicious and I ate every morsel. She ordered the filet of beef for her entree and I ordered scorpion fish. I've never seen this fish on a menu and had to give it a try. Her filet arrived and it was a very large "chunk" of meat. It looked very good but she was concerned that it might be over the medium rare that she ordered. However, after cutting through it, it was just so thick that the temperature range went from rare on the inside to medium on the outside. She was very satisfied with it and enjoyed the quality of the beef as well as the overall flavor. My scorpion fish was served as a filet with vegetables prepared with unique, unusual flavors to my pallet, including a sweetness that all worked together to make a delicious meal. The fish itself was comparable in texture to tilapia and was cooked absolutely perfectly. Probably I would try something else next time simply because sweet entrees are not my favorite. But the preparation overall made it a very satisfying meal. Saint-Emilion is a place that we really enjoy and look forward to those rare times when we are able to return.

    My wife and I visited Paris last year and this place is as close to anything we have found food and atmosphere wise. Very good service, great drinks, amazing food! We had a great time.

    Awesome, food, table service, the Lady providing drinks was a little... ummmm... not so welcoming, but who cares! Atmosphere was awesome! Probably the best French place in Ft Worth! Highly recommend you will not regret it. If you want a romantic dinner this is where you need to go!

  • 4/5 Bryan E. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food and great service. Would have been 5 stars but the fish was sandwiched in between the starch on the bottom and the leeks on the top. It would have been better for me if they were separate on the plate. I couldn't tell what was the fish sometimes as the flavors just got all mashed up.

    A treat! The atmosphere is incredible. The food was perfect. And the staff was warm and friendly. All together one of the most wonderful dining experiences I’ve had. Worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Lloyd C. 10 months ago on Google
    French! French! French! Escargot is perfect, lamb chops and duck excellent. French onion soup. This is a quintessential French dining experience in Fort Worth Tx of all places. Selecting the wine was a lot of fun. See photo. Highly recommend.

    Excellent food in a great atmosphere that is perfect for any special occasion. Brought my wife here to celebrate our anniversary and they professionally accommodated her allergies and even made a dish personally for her. Of course, the food itself was uniquely top notch. One of the top restaurants we have gone to, ever!

  • 5/5 Jessica M. 7 months ago on Google
    Saint-Emilion provides a truly wonderful dining experience. Here's what you will find: Top-notch service. The restaurant accommodated multiple reservation changes, and the owner went table-by-table to greet guests. Our waiters were very attentive, and we were provided complimentary macarons at the end of our meal to celebrate a couple birthdays that spanned a over this month and the previous. Well-executed, delicious fare at great value. The cook on our food was perfect. I took one star off because the scallops we had were extremely salty (to everyone at the table). However, we have been here multiple times and this is the first time we have had anything but the best to say about the food. Besides the scallops, the beef tartare, steak, escargot, duck, and even the bread were fantastic. Warm, rustic charm. I love the atmosphere of Saint-Emilion: within what appears to be a quaint little cottage hides a delightful, cozy atmosphere. It allows guests to truly enjoy fine dining without going through the rigid, formal atmosphere found at some other restaurants. If you are a lover of French cuisine, or are looking for a nice place to take a date or some friends, Saint-Emilion is definitely a must-try.

    TLDR, just reserve a table and go. The food was amazing, the wine pairing was delightful, and the staff was great. Went there for an intimate birthday dinner. Not a lot of tables but it was such a place. The atmosphere was great. The only drawback is if you are sitting next to a loud table. Everyone will hear the conversations. My first time there but it will not be the last. I was impressed with the wine selection and the knowledge of the staff on pairing wine with dinner. We decided to go with a bottle of wine and we were not disappointed. The team kept the glasses full and the table neat. The house bread was delicious, had to stop eating the bread to make room for dinner and a dessert. The Duck and the Fillet were awesome, and the desserts were delicious. Just go, enjoy yourself, and know I will be back for sure.

    Amazing food, service and ambiance. We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday and could not of been a better experience.

  • 5/5 Tiffany 11 months ago on Google
    Went here for my birthday and my husband and I absolutely loved the food! Really cozy atmosphere and extremely attentive and friendly staff. Being served in courses was a nice change of pace to American dining! My favorite plate was the wild boar terrine appetizer. It had the most amazing taste and texture. Also, the onion soup had such a depth of flavor to the broth, easily the best onion soup I've ever had. They had asked if we were celebrating anything and once I mentioned it was my birthday, they brought out a comped dessert of macaroons! So nice! This place is perfect for a date night and I promise you wont be disappointed! They did offer seasonal specials along with the main menu. Make sure to make a reservation on their website though! The night that we had wanted to go was all filled up!

    Wonderful! The food was amazing and great value for what you get. We felt like we were back in France from every detail from the prix fixe menu to the at-table checkout. We will be here many more times, incroyable.

    A piece of Europe in Fort Worth. The staff was so professional and ensured we had an amazing evening. The food and wine were exceptional- best date night restaurant. Book a week in advance

  • 4/5 Randi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Quaint village type restaurant in the middle of popular 7th street corridor. I am not a fan of a pre-fix menu, but the choices were good, service excellent and wine selection superb. Went here with friends, and we will try it again. Must have reservations way in advance.

  • 5/5 Larry M. 1 year ago on Google
    Idealic inside and out. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent but the setting blew us away as soon as we pulled into the parking lot. It looked like a scene out of Beauty and the Beast. I highly recommend this place. Simply magnificent!

  • 5/5 Jaime 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I have been wanting to try this place for several years but have just never got around to it. What a sweet surprise it was. Everything was absolutely fantastic. The service, the food, it was all top notch. My steak melted like butter, my husbands clam linguine was bursting with flavor. We even ventured out and tried escargot. While it’s something I probably wouldn’t order again it was another dish exploding with flavor. The tomato soup was a pleasant surprise, easily the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff was kind and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back.

  • 1/5 Tony B. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was not worth the price. The sauce on the steak was not good. The fish was great on half and the other half was undercooked. The atmosphere had laminated floors and laminated menus which should have raised a red flag. The bright side: service was good. It makes me so sad because in the early 2000's this place was so great me and my then fiance, now wife, came here every time we could scrape up enough money. I'm truly baffled by the 5 star reviews and left wondering if that's staff and family.

  • 5/5 Chuck K. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first time there and the three of us had appetizers and the fixed price menu. All three of us were very satisfied with the food wine and service. What a great dining experience. We're already planning another trip this weekend.

    This is my most favorite restaurant in all of Fort Worth. The environment is very intimate and cosy and the service is impeccable. Our meal was so delicious and perfectly prepared. It is such a special treat and I look forward to the next time we can come.
