Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) Corridor

My parents, my son and I came for lunch on December 21, 2024, for my son's birthday. We opted to order off the menu. We all had different entrees, and we loved them. My son devoured the pancakes, I was in heaven with the chicken fried steak. My dad had one of the burgers and my mother had the chicken and biscuit. We raved about our meals. Service was wonderful. Wish i could remember her name. Very sweet and knowledgeable. Will be my son's and my go to restaurant when I am back in the area. Thank you!!!!!

As always such a awesome experience and the vibes in this place never let you down we took some good friends here this morning and they really loved it from the food to the laid back chill vibes they loved it all and said they would be back all in all this place never disappoints if you haven’t ate here your missing out

We eat here two to three times a year. Last night was probably the best food we’ve had in the last five years. The bottle of Moet was great. Opening the evening was a plate of four pastries (gougyure?) filled with salmon mousse and caviar. We followed with a Farmer’s Green Salad. My wife had catch of the day. Me? Fried quail. There was not a hiccup with any of these entrees - all were excellent. The desserts - chocolate mousse and an apple tart with ice cream The chef’s gift to the table was a pumpkin soup with coconut milk. I wished that they would make this a regular menu item. One slight flaw. The recipe for the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup seems to have changed. All in all - an excellent evening. IF. If I could change one thing? Hire a carpenter. Put in a vestibule ahead of the outside entry door. it was cold outside last night, and the drafts that passed through the restaurant are quite cold. All in all - the $$ were well spent.

Another great meal and experience at El Carlos Elegante! We started with cocktails, Cherry Moon and Negroni Cafe, and both were great. The one-hitters, Surf + Turf and Brisket, were exceptional. Don’t miss those two! The Salmon Ceviche and Okra + Shishitos were spot on as usual. We rounded out our meal with a hand-made masa, Chorizo Molotes, which was delicious. Nice crunch on the masa, stuffed with chorizo and refried beans and served with warm salsa roja. The atmosphere was cozy and festive at the same time. To add to the fun, the restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. We’ll definitely be back. A “go-to” restaurant for us. The food and service never disappoints.

We enjoyed our first trip to Al Biernat’s The wine and drinks were delicious. The salads were huge. I wish we would have split or maybe we should have asked how big they were. My husband had the Caesar which was perfect. Anchovies were fresh and delicious. I had the roasted pear salad. It was delicious. The dressing was perfect The entrees a filet and halibut were cooked perfectly Coconut cream pie delicious creamy. The bread basket had a great variety Overall I would give a 10 Thank you
