    Have dined here multiple times during my trips to Dallas and stays at the ritz Carlton. Beautiful atmosphere, classy ambiance and tasty food with immaculate service.

    The food and service was good but the mood was spoiled when I left with five mosquito bites.

    Each plate brings a medley of uniquely memorable flavors that are consistently paired in innovative yet approachable, almost familiar, ways. We really enjoyed seeing so many classic southern comfort foods elevated to show their true potential, like tiny blue corn tortillas folded into mini tacos hiding lobster under avocado relish, or the chile verde and cotija topped enchilada filled with rabbit (both of which are actually accents plated alongside main stars like short rib and antelope). Only regret? Not ordering the full tasting menu.

    WOW! WOW!! WOW!!!
    WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!
    My husband and I came here for dinner with high expectations and they were far exceeded.
    The foie gras... simply amazing. The duck breast... incredible. The wagyu ribeye... awesome. The potato whip and lump crab mac 'n' cheese were excellent. The mango passion fruit sorbet... wonderful. The apple pie and cinnamon icecream... life-changing.
    I am confident that the dishes we didn't get the opportunity to taste this time are equally as exquisite, luxurious, and flavorful as what we ate.
    Honestly, we can't wait to go back and try the other stunning dishes.
    The service was stellar.
    The atmosphere was gorgeous.
    The food was exceptional.
    The experience was unforgettable.

    Fearing's Restaurant should, without question, be at the top of your dining list.

    My boyfriend and I went to Fearing’s for a Friday date night and had the best time. The menu is full of really interesting, creative options, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The service was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant itself is beautiful—definitely an elevated dining experience.
    We ordered the Barbequed Gulf Oysters ‘Rockefearing’, the Southwest Sampler, the BBQ Spiced Beef Filet & Chicken Fried Maine Lobster, and the New York Raised Rohan Duck Breast. Everything was fantastic, but the standout star of the night was the duck—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor.
    Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily return. My only note is that the atmosphere leaned a bit more toward business dinner vibes than a romantic date night, but that didn’t take away from how great the evening was.

    Went there for lunch to celebration a PhD graduation of two dear friends. It was amazing and everyone was impressed with dishes. The beet appetizer was is worth going back for. The halibut was perfectly prepared. I also had the banana pudding with toasted meringue- fantastic. The other folks had the brisket and mustard chicken, spicy Caesar salad, chocolate cake and crème brûlée. We definitely had a memorable celebration! Highly recommended for any celebration!!

    OMG I wish I could give them 10 stars on a scale of 1-5.

    We ate at Fearings for Valentine's Day 2026 and the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!

    My wife ordered the Tortilla Soup and said it was the best soup she has ever had.

    We ordered so many things and to break them down one by one would take forever so here is a list of what we ordered:

    Texas Wagyu Carpachio
    Tortilla Soup
    Crab Mac & Cheese
    Brussel Sprouts
    Tater Tots
    7oz Tenderloin
    Duck Breast
    Chicken Fried Lobster Tail
    Creme Brulee
    Granny Fearing's Banana Pudding

    Items they brought to the table to try:
    Tomato Basil Shooter
    Southwest Cesaer Salad

    Everything was ridiculously good but some standouts:

    The Soup was top notch. My wife said if we lived in Dallas she would want the Soup everytime she didn't feel well because of how comforting it was.

    The Chicken Fried Lobster Tail was one of the most unique items I have ever had.

    The duck was rendered so beautiful that it didn't have any of the normal duck fattiness.

    The Crab Mac & Cheese was the BEST Mac n cheese I have ever eaten.

    My wife and I both thought the Tator Tots cooked in duck fat were likely the best thing of the night.

    Steaks were cooked perfectly.

    Dean Fearing came by the table and introduced himself and was a truly down home soul.

    The music Playlist was totally relatable and from what I understand was music HE loved.

    Now for the Peace de Resistance...

    The service made the night complete. It made the night special.

    THANK YOU MICHAEL SCOTT!!!

    You are a true professional and a master of your craft. You made our Valentine's Day one of the best EVER. We won't forget the experience you guided us through. When we return we will surely ask for you. We wish you all the success you deserve.

    I'm so happy we were able to celebrate our Anniversary here again! The food was delicious and their customer service was superb!

    We had at least 7 people wish us a Happy New Year and a Happy Anniversary!

    It was amazing to see how they operated everything from making the food, how they coordinated with one another in the kitchen, to serving food on the plate.

    The Chefs, Director of Operations, and our server, Alban were very attentive to my dietary needs, were so friendly, and down to earth that my husband and I truly enjoyed this night and experience.

    Thank you so much for making our night special!

    Our dinner at Fearing’s last night was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the service, atmosphere, and attention to detail were flawless. Jesus was our server, and he went above and beyond — incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel special.

    Every course was perfectly prepared and full of flavor, from the appetizers to dessert. The presentation, timing, and energy of the restaurant made for one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Dallas. Highly recommend asking for Jesus when you visit — he truly elevated the evening!

    We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Fearing’s — the food was outstanding, but the real star of the evening was Sommelier Miguel Sayago.
    His knowledge, warmth, and personality made the night unforgettable. Every wine pairing was spot-on, and he managed to make the experience both educational and fun.

    If you’re dining at Fearing’s, ask for Miguel — he’s a gem and the perfect example of world-class service at the Ritz-Carlton.

    This place has a vegetarian menu and I'm all for it. Let's start with the bread, make sure you ask for more shiner bread, it's delicious. Unfortunately for us, they ran out when we were there.

    The surf and turf was fantastic. While the steak was what I expected from a high end restaurant, the fried lobster blew me away. My favorite of the night were the vegetarian appetizers. Both the tortilla soup and mini tacos blew me away. Both 5/5. However, I was left pretty disappointed with the Mexican sampler. The spinach enchiladas were okay, while the other two were just bad. You can do vegan/vegetarian entres with flavors and this was not shown in this dish.

    We also had the fearing old fashion, which I appreciate the sweet mellow scent vs the typical pungent scotch smell.

    Excellent Tortilla Soup with a unique addictive flavor. I will be back just for this soup. I had the Buffalo meat dish. My partner had the Antellope dish. Both were tender and had delicious sides with each. Very friendly & attentive staff. I wish I took more photos. It was a wow! We will be back! Great bottle of wine. Feel free to use my words. :)

    A great restaurant in an equally great hotel. The service was impeccable with all staff members being friendly and helpful. The overall ambience of the restaurant was bright and open. We were seated in a booth close to the kitchen but we didn't notice the sound.

    We started with the Southwest Sampler. The crab cakes were fried perfectly, the short rib enchilada was a little too sauce heavy but still delicious, and the lobster tacos were delicious...but let's be honest, the tacos were one bite and not two bite.

    My gf had the Chilean Sea Bass and I ordered the Antelope over Mole Rojo with Rabbit Enchilada.

    Both the sea bass and the rice it sat on were cooked perfectly. Absolutely delicious dish that I'll order next time for myself. I'm usually disappointed with rice in Texas so this was a pleasant surprise.

    The antelope was amazing. Whenever I see it on a menu, I always order it and I encourage everyone to try it. The only miss on this dish was the rabbit enchilada. The meat was a little dry and there was a bit too much cheese for the size of the enchilada.

    Overall, this a great dining experience and I highly recommend it.

    Want to impress the people you’ve invited to dinner? This is the place! We didn’t have a reservation yet the hostess not only got us in but set us up at a lovely booth. The food was interesting and flavorful, the buffalo fantastically seasoned. We unfortunately didn’t have time for dessert due to an event we already had scheduled but we found some surprise petit fours in our to go bag. Dinner was so impressive we went back for breakfast. Everyone was attentive making the meals a memorable experience.

    We had high expectations and they were definitely met. The staff in the hotel and restaurant were so helpful and friendly. They went out of their ways to make our visit perfect. We even got a backstory on the drinks we picked. It was a lovely touch. All of the food was excellent. The chicken fried lobster was delicious. The sweet lobster contrasted nicely with the breading. The whole experience was worth repeating.
