10Best Says

More than a decade in, celebrity chef Dean Fearing's eponymous restaurant in the swanky Uptown Ritz Carlton remains a consistent favorite with its sophisticated (yet unpretentious) vibe and locally sourced, modern Southwestern cuisine. The menu shuffles often, but expect to see things like barbecue shrimp tacos; chicken fried quail; glazed antelope; and some of the tastiest Texas Wagyu-Angus steaks in town. Pro tip: snag a seat in Dean's kitchen where you can have a ringside view of the action and perhaps a chat with the exuberant Fearing himself. Save space for the banana pudding tart or anything chocolate.
