Disclaimer: I am only reviewing the donkey roll dessert…read more We had the donkey roll for dessert the first time we went to brass ram for dinner. During dinner, we realized we were not prime rib people (I'll stick to my ribeyes). Thus, I would've expected my first time at brass ram to be my last - HOWEVER, we had the good fortune of trying their donkey roll for dessert. And boy oh boy, am I glad we did. Their donkey roll is undeniably one of my favorite desserts in Dallas. I think I've visited brass ram 3 times since my first experience with the sole purpose of just having their dessert! I would've came more if they didn't close at 10 P.M. I do want it to be known though: Brass Ram has said that as long as you're in before 10, they will happily serve you their dessert. As for the dessert: the donkey roll is essentially money bread over chopped apple pieces, topped with rum raisin ice cream, salted caramel sauce and mocha almonds. It is delightful and I highly recommend people try it. I can't wait to go back and just have their dessert again.

THE FOOD: We started with the rock shrimp casino, which had good texture but lacked a little depth, a touch more salt would have really brought it to life. The crudo royale was decent; the lobster and shrimp were fresh, though the sauce slightly overpowered the seafood. The standout of the starters was the mushrooms, absolutely amazing and perfectly balanced. We also ordered the Caesar salad (with extra anchovies on the side, just as requested, which made me very happy). The dressing was good but could use a little more garlic, anchovy punch, and maybe a small kick from a bit of Dijon mustard. Now the star: the prime rib. Surprisingly salted to perfection and honestly the best prime rib I've had in Dallas. THE SERVICE: Top notch. Attentive without hovering, and everything arrived at a comfortable pace, perfect timing before heading to the show. THE VIBE: The restaurant gives strong Boston steakhouse vibes; classic, polished, and a great place to start a night out. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're heading to a performance nearby.

The sommelier, however, lacked personality and didn't add much to the dining experience. A friend of mine had just arrived in town and wanted something upscale, but we were short on time, so this seemed like a convenient choice. We started with the chicken nugget topped with caviar, which was ehh nothing memorable. While discussing cocktails, I learned they use bottled juice rather than fresh juice. As someone who appreciates well-crafted cocktails, that was disappointing from the start. I ordered a classic margarita, sparkling water with lime, and the tuna tartare. The margarita was just average, but the tuna tartare was excellent. The flavors worked beautifully together, although I'd recommend trying it without the apples. I would genuinely love to know who curated the menu because there were moments of creativity that showed promise. After speaking with the manager, who did his best to connect with us, he explained that fresh juice in cocktails isn't something their clientele typically requests. Initially, I was shocked, but life has taught me that having money doesn't always mean having discerning taste or an appreciation for quality. That's exactly why I usually gravitate toward niche restaurants places that prioritize fresh, seasonal ingredients and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. Too often, people mistake expensive decor for a quality experience. I hate spending money on an experience that looks impressive but falls short where it matters most. For me, this is a one-and-done visit. Sir Winston's in California was executing this level of attention to detail far better. Unfortunately, this experience felt like a disappointment.

Sorry for one more review but I haveta note this for you…read more At lunch Friday we began, as always, with the tropical vibed shrimp and mango ceviche. It is a delightful medley of shrimp, fruit and vegetable colors, flavors, and textures. We wanted to share a fish dish and discussed the several offerings with our delightful and efficient server, Shara. I'm quite deaf and consequently always miss a lot. Today that cost me for the entree that we selected $20 more than I thought but it proved to be totally worth it! We opted for the Chilean Sea Bass. What I did not hear is Shara say that she loves this dish as it is prepared for the dinner menu where it is served atop an amazingly savory, creamy lobster risotto surrounded by a garnish of bright green pesto aioli. I said, "Well, lets go with that dish". So glad we did! The fish could not have been cooked any more perfectly and the fish with the lobster risotto and pesto just sang. As always the remarkable kitchen here plated beautifully the shared entree for us separately. No split plate charge. This proved to be the most enjoyable restaurant dish we've had in a very good while. So happy I did not hear Shara as I probably would have declined ordering the dinner menu version. Hahaha. Sometimes being deaf pays off. The vibe at Al Biernat's is always so enjoyable.

I love that they have matchbooks, because I have quickly turned into a Dallas matchbook enthusiast. I started with an old fashioned and had a cup of their crab and corn chowder, which was very tasty. My bestie ordered the goat cheese salad, which was so refreshing. Excellent choice. As much as it sounded like a good idea to do steak at a steak place, I just couldn't bring myself to on this occasion and opted for the red snapper dish. It was very nicely done, and a seriously solid portion. Bestie had a filet, I tried a bite and it was good but I only have steak on a few occasions. We shared some type of peanut butter dessert which truth be told, I can't quite recall so I won't call it unremarkable but I can recall my old fashioned, soup and fish dish - so perhaps try a different dessert option. Service was great, and our meal was enjoyable. I'm not certain I need to rush back.

Inside was smaller than I expected but very romantic and cozy. Our waiter wasn't as personable as the one behind us. We overheard the other waiter go into more detail on specials and add on options. We started with some old fashioned with our app. We got the pork belly as an appetizer. A prefect starter. And we had salads to be healthy. I loved the YO house salad the pecans and the goat cheese so so fresh. My husband got the Cesar salad. For the main... well it's a steakhouse. But if I'm living in Texas I'll be coming back here to try their other great beef cuts. I went wild... I got the wild game platter. The venison was very good a little too peppery for me. And the brandy cream gravy was not smooth as I would like. The bison filet was delicious. And the duck sausage was very good too. My husband got the cowboy ribeye very delicious as always. We paired the mains with a delicious Italian red. Cheers! I had enough room for the oh so light crème brûlée. So so good. It's a must. I hope we'll be coming back I want to try their elk and any of the beef cuts... okay all of them. During dinner the pace was great super relaxing atmosphere. We weren't rushed so we got to enjoy all the courses. And oh the bread was warm and the butter was perfect.

Melanie, the manager on duty, also came by to welcome us and ensure we were having a great experience, which was a thoughtful touch. For dessert, we indulged in a delightful duo of treats: the chocolate cake and the cheesecake! Both were divine, but the cheesecake stole the show--it's an absolute must-try that I can't recommend enough!  To top off this amazing dining experience, the restaurant was showcasing festive World of Soccer cocktails. Overall, it was a truly memorable dining experience. Between the outstanding food, attentive service, and welcoming atmosphere, Stillwell's exceeded my expectations.

Amazing service. Phenomenal food. We were out and about so I surprised my wife for lunch at her favorite spot. We pull up to valet and are greeted with a smile. Greeted again as we enter the breathtaking lobby, a common photo-op for date nights and family gatherings. We walk through the bar to the receptionist, "reservation?" "No maam, we're just dropping in." "Two of you?" "Yes maam!" "Great follow me." We get a romantic booth on the wall with a view of the windows and the kitchen. There's several groups having business lunches and in front of us the two cutest ladies who have probably been best friends for 50+ years having lunch and celebrating one of their birthdays. We're greeted again by one of our servers who takes drink orders. We both order sparkling water with lime, and I also ask for iced tea. I ask the waiter "is it a brewed flavored tea by chance?" "No sir. It's a black tea." I reply, "you guys used to serve the most amazing ginger peach tea of which I became quite the connoisseur." He replies, "oh we still offer that through out the hotel. I'll get you a glass." "Really?!?! That would be perfect!" He then returns with our drinks and brings out their famous breads and butter. They are all incredible, but my personal favorite is the jalapeño cornbread. It's a game changer! He informs us it's restaurant week, which we've always heard of but never taken part in one. Three course meal, includes dessert, for $39 per person. Their offer is some of their top hits so we're stoked! We both get a cup of their world famous Dean's tortilla soup. It's non-negotiable. You've got to get it. We then added a Southwest Caesar salad to share, not part of the offer, which they split into two plates without us asking. Next the entrees come out. I got the Dr Pepper braise Rosewood Ranch Short Ribs with 'Loaded' Whipped Potatoes, Glazed Heirloom Carrots and Crispy Tobacco Onions. When I say this was a game changer and not to be missed, I can emphasize it enough. This entree is probably Dean's most popular and for good reason. Funny enough, while the short rib is a game changer, the sides should have won a Grammy for best supporting role. They were incredible. I saved a piece of the cornbread just to sop up my lunch and proudly gave myself a pat on the back for such a stellar idea. My wife had the Apricot Glazed Bay of Fundy Salmon on Field Pea Salad, Pepita Pesto and Buttermilk Fried Okra. She couldn't stop talking about it. Admittedly, I'm not a salmon fan, but it was very good. Once again the okra and sides were a showstopper. NOTE: one of our favorite things about Fearing's is their French pressed pot of coffee. It's exceptional. So without hesitation, knowing we probably couldn't finish a glass due to our existing gluttony, we didn't give up like a bunch of sissies, no we pressed on. It's a marathon, not a sprint. We got our pot of coffee and await the pièce de résistance, dessert! For Dessert, I had Granny Fearing's Banana Pudding with Toasted Meringue and Cinnamon Sugar Beignets. OMG! So good it will make you kiss yo momma! Seriously, if you've given up too early and missed this special treat then you've got to man up and stay the course, the third course. Again, it's a marathon so stay focused, don't overindulge and devour everything. To go bags are totally acceptable. My wife had a dessert I haven't seen before, but she absolutely loved hers. It's was a s'mores chocolate cakes with a chocolate ganache warm sauce poured over. While the presentation left us speechless, the flavor exceeded our already high expectations. To put icing on the cake, one of the managers brought me another brewed peach tea and we discussed how much I love it and that the company was purchased by Starbucks and ceased to exist. Fearings and several others used to use them and I could spot it in an instant. I told her I purchased a stash before they went out of business. She then told me the brand they use and even came back and surprised me with a sealed bag of the tea leaves to brew at home. THAT is the typical every day experience everyone has at Fearings and THAT's WHY WE KEEP COMING BACK. If we were offered one last meal, our family would choose Fearings. We come here just because, for birthday's, anniversaries, business, and any other time we can find an excuse. It's simply the best!
