Where is the Best Fort Worth Fine Dining in Dallas, Texas?
Started off with their version of sangria. Didn’t think much of it since it tasted like watered down grape juice. For appetizers we had the toro. The slices were definitely not worth the price. The attept at asian fusion is completely an insult to the asian community. Moreover, the manager sent the hamachi to attempt to redeem themself for the toro. Although I appreciate gesture, the pepper combo with the hamachi was not good. The sashimi was drenched in soy sauce and I was not able to enjoy the “freshness” of the sashimi. The toro and hamachi were not “fresh.” The only high point that makes this restaurant a “must go” is the steaks. This place has excellent steaks. The hanger steak is an excellent cut of meat and grilled just right. The sides (brocolini and potatos) were great…then so-so after realizing that the portions were definitely not worth the price. Also, the mojito limes were not muddled in my drink. Any tex-mex fusion or attempt at that should know that the f
As a visitor on business to Texas my one goal was to “get a good steak”. Well this place wasn’t good, it was phenomenal! ! ! Probably the best steak I can remember eating at a steakhouse (and I have been to some pretty good ones!). Our waiter was helpful and courteous, a fellow musician as well. We skipped the appetizers to save room for the meal, but had the lettuce wedge and dinner salad, both of which were great, followed by the smaller Ribeye that included the potatoes and we ordered a side of the Spinach Supreme. Everything was perfect. The seasoning on the steaks was great and it didn’t need any extras like Bearnaise, Horseradish or butter. When our waiter brought the steaks to the table he asked us to cut them open and verify that they were cooked correctly because “a couple years ago someone received a steak that wasn’t to their liking, so now they check them all.” That was so impressive, at many mega chain restaurants I order my steak Rare so that it will come out Medium Rare!
Good restaurant with a nice atmosphere reminiscent of a small country bistro. Food is traditional American fare (wood-fired pizzas, chicken fried steak, seafood), and bar is stocked with great selection and knowledgeable bartenders to satisfy all cocktail cravings. Note: martinis are very generous! Service is always friendly. Sunday brunch at Lucile’s is a Fort Worth tradition. Very enjoyable dining experience and relatively reasonable prices.
Our eyes had to adjust to the dark and trendy/cowboy theme when we came out of the glare of the August sun in Texas, but wow, once we adjusted, we didn’t want to leave. We did not have a reservation and they graciously fit us in on a Friday night. The menu was very inventive, the Texas Fig appetizer is drool inducing, and while we didn’t get too adventurous (other than a rabbit tart which was quite good), our tenderloins were perfection. Generally the wait staff was very gracious – although I’ll admit we felt a bit rushed (I’m sure it was because they squeezed us in on a very busy night – it might have been different with a reservation) We luckily got seated close to the kitchen (sounds odd I know) but it was great fun to watch the cowboy hat wearing chefs work their magic – great theatre during dinner. We didn’t love the dessert choices, but we were so full by then we didn’t really care. We will be back as soon as we can get over there again – this time with a reservation.Pros
