    7 oz center cut filet which
    Mike P.

    Came in for brunch while visiting Fort Worth with my daughter. The restaurant space and attached hotel (Hotel Drover) are spectacular. Absolutely stunning! Everyone we interacted with from the hostesses to servers were friendly and attentive. This is clearly a well managed operation! Now the food...wow!! Catch of the day Ceviche was amazing. Fresh guacamole was perfection. I got a 7 oz center cut filet which was cooked perfectly (medium rare). My daughter got the ribeye cap steak salad which was also delicious. Highly recommended! Will definitely return for another great meal when back in the area.

    The restaurant, dining and surrounding areas are beautiful! The food was just ok... First of all the menu is very "vanilla". None of the items stood out to me. They're all very "safe" choices. My steak was cooked like I requested (rare filet). It tasted fine, nothing to write home about. I do like the mashed potatoes, this was probably the best thing I ate all night. 97 West is your typical American Cuisine establishment. You can get the same tasting food at other similar restaurants. You come here for the aesthetics which are top notch.

    The food and service were amazing. My waiter was very nice and on top of things. Was welcomed by a manager as well and asked if everything was to my liking. They also comped my dessert since it was my birthday. The ambiance is amazing, very high end western look with cow house stools and copper tables at the high tops. Prices are not near as much as you'd expect. Definitely will return!

    Lobster Omelette

    I had a wonderful experience here for the Christmas Day brunch with my family. Everything from the service to the food was exceptional. The hotel is immaculately decorated for Christmas during this time of year which is such a magical ambiance. We booked the brunch a month in advance via Open Table as we were staying in the hotel for Christmas Eve. Our table was ready upon arrival and the food was brought out promptly once we placed our orders. They have a prix fixe menu so, you pay a set cost for three courses. I ordered the pickled deviled eggs and lobster omelette. Both were wonderful. In fact, it was so much food, we had to take our leftovers and the last course to-go! My husband and I enjoyed the experience so much, we plan to return for other celebrations. Our waiter Avery was training and amazing! He really made the experience extra special. Our table was a little wobbly and he quickly fixed it. He was also super attentive and made sure we enjoyed our meal.

    Chilaquiles in breakfast menu

    No brunch menu since a Friday. This was the breakfast menu. Had the chilaquiles which was good but a little boring compared to some I've had--not bad though. Would go back and try some new things.

    Steak & Tomatoes
    Aliyah S.

    I've always wanted to go into the Dover Hotel because it's so beautiful, and I always see people having a hoot on their back patio. A visit to 97 West Kitchen & Bar was just the excuse I needed! It's gorgeous inside -- the vibe is cozy and cute -- and it was surprisingly busy for a Thursday evening. I had the fried green tomatoes and the steak and tomatoes "salad." I say "salad" in quotes because, although it's listed under salads, my waitress immediately told me it doesn't actually come with greens (though she said I could add lettuce if I wanted, lol). Nevertheless, it was wonderful! I loved the pickled onions, blue cheese, and sweet bread croutons -- and the fried green tomatoes came topped with pickled beets, which was such a nice touch. Our server was lovely, and overall it was a delightful experience. I can't wait to go back -- maybe next time I'll sit out on that patio!

    Must get bacon!!!!
    Tiffany N.

    I came here with my family on my birthday and it was nothing short of amazing. Started off with the bacon...drippings over jalapeño cornbread...how can it get more Texas than that?! We were there for lunch so I got the Wagyu tri tip for my entree. Moist and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was perfect especially in January right after the holidays. Gorgeous Christmas decorations everywhere. Our waiter was very attentive. We did valet instead of parking in the Stockyards parking lot which is well worth it as we walked around town after lunch. Highly recommend this spot especially if you're visiting from out of town!!!

    14oz sirloin
    Chloe M.

    Had a great birthday dinner, the steaks were top notch perfect medium rare the tomahawk was very delicate will say a lot of fat in it but was worth it , service was great there was a tornado watch in the area offered some comfort that they had a cellar to evacuate to if needed, drinks were very well put for the night !

    Fried tomatoes
    Grace D.

    We had this place in our bucket list for while and I'm so glad we finally pulled the trigger and tried it. We had a recreation and got seated right away upon checking in. From the moment we sat down to when we laid the service was fantastic! Our waitress made sure we had everything we needed as well as gave us some great recommendations to try. The food itself was incredible- my personal favorite was the ribeye steak which was perfectly cooked and tender. The whole restaurant has such a great vibe and is beautifully decorated. It's perfect for date night or family dinner --10/10 recommend trying!!

    New York steak
    Yarn Y.

    What a fantastic place - they had everything : great food , atmosphere , decor you name it. We shared some appetizers (the cheese and meat platter was excellent ) and for entry I got the New York steak which came in perfectly medium cooked . Meat quality felt very high . The cocktails (old fashioned ) were very good as well . It a cheap place but if you want a classic place in the old western decor that's the place for you !

    Corn Beef Hash Benedict
    Christopher O.

    This place has good points and bad points. The atmosphere of this place is amazing. Our waitress was really good even though she was a little green. You can tell she was trained well. Had the Corn Beef Hash Benedict and the Ranch Hand Breakfast. The Ranch Hand was really good with nicely cooked scrambled eggs, perfect bacon and very good pepper gravy. The Corn Beef Hash Benedict was a good with a nice hollandaise, and the potatoes were incredibly good. My only knock on this place is the biscuits are incredibly dry. The fact that tops and bottoms were brown but not crispy is a sign they had been sitting in a warmer for to long. This place is a decent place for breakfast, hopefully they fix the biscuits.

Within the first 10 minutes you forget because you reach for the phone that's not in your pocket out of habit to take a photo of your food. Instead, you actually slow down, taking in the look and smell of the food while having a real, uninterrupted conversation with the person across from you. And the food? So good it made me forget I couldn't take a picture of it--which says everything. Every bite was a "wait, try this" moment. The staff was amazing (specifically Iberia and Milosh) who made the experience above and beyond. The vibe was intentional, and for once, no one at the table was half-present and half-scrolling. 10/10 would willingly give up my phone again... which is something I never thought I'd say.

My fiancé is a surgeon and was running extremely late in surgery and had to meet me there in his scrubs. The manager shot daggers at my fiancé and told us there is a dress code and that it's a first to see someone from the medical field in his restaurant. It was the most horrible encounter I have ever had with someone at a restaurant, to the point where I sat there and cried because of how awful he made us feel. We spent almost $400, and I wish we never gave them a single cent. To judge someone's appearance because they got off work late (from a hospital nonetheless) and were trying to make a birthday dinner is absurd. We will be in this town for a while, and will absolutely tell our friends to go spend their money elsewhere. Shame on you.

    My husband and I came here for the first time last Saturday, and unfortunately, it was a pretty…read moredisappointing experience overall. The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.
