With rising food costs, you might as well skip the greasy drive-thru and opt for something better and local. While this is true of most types of cuisine, you might still find fine dining a bit out of reach in this economy. Why not help yourself and support a local nonprofit at the same time? With that in mind, here are some of the luxury retso options in Fort Worth during the next DFW Restaurant Week which you’d be smart to take advantage of in August.
Bob’s Steak & Chophouse (1300 Houston St, Fort Worth, 817-350-4100) is offering a Signature Experience for $99 per person. This includes your choice of Caesar Salad (Caesar dressing, parmesan cheese, and croutons), wedge salad (blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, tomato, and bacon), or the Chophouse Salad (greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, bacon, and hearts of palm). Your entrée will be a 9-oz filet, pork chop, or salmon, each served with Bob’s signature carrots and smashed potatoes. For dessert, there’s carrot cake, chocolate cake, and Key Lime pie. As for cocktails, the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned, Strawberry Bobbie, or glass of Austin Hope Cabernet goes for $18 each.
Bonnell’s Fine Texas Cuisine (4259 Bryant Irvin Rd, Fort Worth, 817-738-5489) will serve a three-course dinner for $59 per person. For the first course, choose either the house salad (mixed greens with baby heirloom tomatoes, jalapeno-garlic vinaigrette, and queso fresco) or roasted tomato-and-jalapeno soup. For the main course, there’s grilled salmon (with confetti rice, green beans, and lemon butter) or a 5-oz filet (with shoestring fries, green beans, and whiskey cream). Then for dessert, choose a slice of buttermilk pie or Texas sheet cake with pecans. If you’d like a signature drink with each course, upgrade to the Signature Experience for $99 per person.
Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse (812 Main St, Fort Worth, 817-877-3999) has so many options on the $59 three-course dinner that I’m skipping the descriptions on this one. For starters, you can choose from lobster bisque, a Caesar Salad, a blue cheese wedge salad, Wagyu meatballs, a jumbo lump crabcake, or shrimp cocktail. Then for the entree, there is the pan-roasted Arla salmon, a double-bone Kurobuta pork chop, a roasted half chicken, braised Angus short rib, or jumbo crabcakes. Sides aren’t included, but add-ons for $15-27 include lobster mac ’n’ cheese, chateau mashed potatoes, or roasted broccolini. There are also entree enhancements available for $10-20, including jumbo shrimp, special butters, Gorgonzola fondue, and Oscar-style additions. Dessert options are a chocolate mousse, butter cake, or strawberry hibiscus cheesecake. For details on the expansive Signature Experience options, check it out online. We don’t have the space here…
