I arrived late for my reservation but, was still accommodated. The music was not so loud that you could not have a conversation. Our server David was great. The overall customer service was a 10/10. The food was soooo delicious. I ordered catfish, lobster Mac n cheese & okra. My friend ordered greens & they were really good. I’m new to Dallas & will definitely bring every visitor here.

We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday with 4 of our children ages 5 and under. Fearings went above and beyond to accommodate us and we have never had a restaurant experience with our kids like this. From the moment we walked in the hostess gave each of our kids a small stuffy to keep them entertained. The staff were extremely attentive to every detail and even helped buckle our youngest into booster seats. Dean Fearing came to say hi and make sure everything was perfect. 15/10 would highly recommend.
