The Scoop: Want to impress a date in Dallas? Then Fearing’s should be on your radar. This highly acclaimed restaurant is the pride and joy of celebrity chef Dean Fearing. In 2007, Dean crafted the Southwestern menu himself and designed every charming room — from the wine cellar to the gallery. A dedicated and knowledgeable staff greets newcomers and regulars alike, often offering a tour of the restaurant or a run-through of new seasonal dishes. In recognition of its chef-driven menu and awe-inspiring ambiance, Fearing’s Restaurant has earned our Editors’ Choice Award for a great place to take a date.

Dallas’s beloved Dean Fearing is not what you’d expect from a celebrity chef. Wearing a white coat embroidered with a cowboy boot, he makes the rounds nightly in his seven-room Ritz-Carlton restaurant, which includes outdoor seating and a wine cellar for private parties. Befriending every guest, even giving away his secrets (he told me how to prepare his halibut!), he couldn’t be less pretentious. So, you might not guess that he’s a James Beard Award winner, cookbook author, and owner of what Zagat once listed as the number-one hotel dining establishment—not just in Texas, but in the entire country.
