Lonesome Dove Fort Worth

Wow gourmet food in hidden setting.Dietary restrictions: Where able to cater for my very restricted diet and really thoughtful about. Thank you.

The best dining experience my wife and I have ever had was at Lonesome Dove 13 years ago. We were hosting some guests from the West Coast in our home over the previous week, and they insisted on taking us out their last day in town. We had told them about Lonesome Dove, and they said that 's where they wanted to take us. We cautioned them on the price point, but they were anxious for the experience, eager to thank us for the hosting, and not concerned about the cost; so we made Sunday evening reservations and headed to the Stockyards. Everyone had something different from the Wild Game Fettine, so it was a great sharing experience as a launch point. No disappointments here! The First Course had highs and lows. The Deviled Gulf Coast Blue Crabs and Wild Boar Ribs were the highlight, while the Rabbit Ragu Gnochi was described as sturdy (think REALLY al dente) by one of our guests and the Kangaroo Carpaccio Nachos were underwhelming as a cold dish. Most of us had the Bowl of Texas Red chili in the Second Course, and everyone added salt to it. The Main Course lived up to expectations. Three of us had the 9 oz Beef Tenderloin and LOVED it. My wife RAVED about the Diver Scallops, and even game me a little taste. The presentation, temperature and overall experience were what we had hoped for. I had the Warm Ancho Chile Chocolate Cake for desert, and that was also over the top awesome. So much so, in fact, that the rest of the table kept dipping into my dessert! One of our guests speaks with animated hand gestures, and spilled his drink. The staff was unoffended and courteous, but they left the drink mess on the floor, and our other guest wound up cleaning it up. Now, I 'm the first guy to clean up my own messes; but, at this price point, I don 't think it 's too much to expect some quick clean-up service after an accident. Noise was moderate, so that we could have a conversation easily. The ambiance was nice, except for an occasional blast of light through the open door.

Sean was extremely helpful and made our experience great! Food was delicious, my favorites were the orzo Mac and cheese and the hush puppies! Excellent excellent service and the food was amazing. Will return when I’m back in the area. :

Atmosphere is awesome. Very intimate, Texas fancy restaurant. Loved the vibe the moment we walked in. Then our experience took a turn.Service was awful. We couldn’t hear our server. He kept looking at other tables while speaking to us and felt like he could have cared less to wait on us. I had to ask multiple times to get my water glass refilled. He forgot about our salads and when we asked for them he gave us a big excuse that was bogus. Our steak was just ok. It was my birthday dinner celebration and everyone around us was getting big sparkler candles for their celebrations and I got a single simple candle as if I was an after thought. Not that I need an elaborate candle but it was definitely a message when we got it. When spending $300+ on a meal for two people, I expect better and this was a bad experience. Although the atmosphere and location were fantastic, we won’t be back.

Adam was our server. His professionalism and knowledge of the menu was amazing. He recognized immediately one member in our party had a gluten dairy allergy. He quickly grabbed a different menu for them. Adam was attentive throughout the night. Our food: Bison Ribeye steak and oysters. Delicious. Best steak I've ever had and I have dined at Del Frisco's, Capital Grill, Neighborhood Services and other fine dining--this was beyond any of those. Definitely will be back and will be bringing others
