Located in The Ritz-Carlton and perhaps Dallas\u2019 most celebrated dining experience, Dean Fearing\u2019s eponymous restaurant was my original Tuesday dining destination, but opting to squeeze in a visit to FT33 prior to sitting down in the historic hotel I can only assume I did the cuisine no favors while the staff and service did the same for themselves. Seated just after 8:30, my reserved time, after an extended wait at the bar for my \u201ctable to be prepared\u201d despite a dining room only 2\/3 full I shall only assume this was an attempt to convince me to try a cocktail \u2013 offered thrice \u2013 and eventually led to a table too far from the open kitchen to offer much of a vantage I was presented a menu and water before another long wait. Eventually greeted by one of a handful of servers, again forced to decline a drink, the question of a tasting menu was met with a roundabout explanation indicating lack of knowledge (or desire to serve such) and taking the hint an a la carte order was placed to focus on signatures \u2013 dishes the staff must presume to be so well known that they are left on the table without more than two-word descriptions such as \u201cthe quail.\u201d Speaking to the quality of the fare, the ancillary items like breads, amuses, and intermezzos were mostly forgettable while a trio of appetizers all proved well prepared if not particularly memorable \u2013 the soup no better than any mom n\u2019 pop spot, the foie well prepared but the tiny scallops rendered rubbery, and the quail a classic with great bacon and blue wasted on a mundane wedge. At this point mostly bored and regretting having not ordered more at FT33 it was in the sweets that Fearing\u2019s found some salvation as both the gussied up Fluffer Nutter and Banana Pudding were amongst the best I\u2019ve ever tasted, and at $10 each the best values, textures, and flavors of the night leaving me to ponder whether drinks and dessert in the lounge would have been the better choice.<\/p>\n
