   The dining room was crowded and lacked the atmosphere I had come to know in the other 2 locations. The cocktails were not very good. The service and food were as good as ever.

   Nice atmosphere, excellent service. Wasn’t impressed with the dinner. It wasn’t bad. It certainly wasn’t $50-60/meal worthy. Tough steak, undercooked mixed vegetables. This just solidified my Dads lack of desire to venture out.

   We arrived at the Reata 15 minutes earlier than booked/opening; however, reception committee was friendly, very welcoming, and invited us to the bar where we found Coco and staff were just as pleasant and attentive. Once seated, the atmosphere changed. Our server, Christian, was very nice; however, we noticed he was taking a bread basket to everyone seated after us, and around us, but not us. We had to request our bread basket from him, which he apologized for forgetting. Our 2 entrees requested were Chicken Fried Steak and Grilled Salmon with asparagus (instead of rice), and vegetables cooked well-done due to a jaw issue. Christian was very understanding of the TMJ situation. Both entrees were delicious; however, the portions were much smaller than we remembered, and although the asparagus was well-done, the green beans and carrots were much too hard to chew (barely blanched), and the chicken fried steak was served over mashed potatoes which made the crispy breading soggy, thus useless. For dessert we selected the Dessert Tacos with Caramelized Bananas and Chocolate Gravy. Christian informed us the taco shell was very thin and would be very easy to chew. On the contrary; the taco shell, even for one of us without a jaw issue, found the shell very thick and difficult to breakdown, and the caramelized bananas, call us tourists passing through, because we detected there were 1 and 1/2 thin slices of banana that were chopped up smaller than a ¼" x ¼" for $12.; therefore, a complete waste of money. When our bill arrived, Christian explained his manager took off 1 beer for the hardened vegetables, which prior, we had mentioned our feedback was not provided for any freebees. We were surprised the asparagus was a $2. up-charge; point being Christian should have mentioned that up front. Our conclusion, unfortunately, is that the Reata has turned into a tourist trap, especially compared to our meals at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle the previous evening.

   Asada was too tough to eat. Enchiladas good. Red fish was dry with very little sauce. Cherry line was a great drink. Too bad the food was subpar.

   All food and service at Reata was top-notch as always. We love Fort Worth, and this is our favorite place to eat there.

    We had not been to Reata since they moved. The service and atmosphere were excellent, as they always had been, but I was disappointed in the food. We both had the beef tenderloin, and neither was cooked the way we ordered them. They seemed to be at first until more was cut into them. My medium turned out well done, and my girlfriend's medium rare ended up medium. When comparing to some of our favorite steak houses, really fell short! They do have a nice wine list and one of the few restaurants that offer a lot of wines by the glass. Our server, Christopher was outstanding though so might be back. Free parking across the street is a plus too.
