Solid Fort Worth staple. Staff will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome.

I was very excited to eat here, I've always herd about how exotic and amazing this place was. My 2 stars is because how absolutely disappointed I was. I have celiac and was told "accommodation" was not a problem. But instead of having gf substitutes, such as gf bread, was non existing, they simply just took away the bread and the duck on the kale salad. I was served a $50 slider with no bun! Fresh bread was later served, again no accommodation, just no bread for me. I asked for a mocktail, which I was served, no dressing no pizzazz, just a juice with ice and salted rim on a boringwater glass. It tasted fine, not that it's hard to mess up, but such a missed mark. My red fish was good, presented in a burrito that the server had to cut open for me. The fish was amazing, the veggies were over cooked and not seasoned. Yes the food I did have was good, but I've had restaurants in the past that had a nice selection of actual gf bread options. One of the reasons its put into the reservation notes. It's just sad that a restaurant that is so praised and gloats on itself as a "Fort Worth must staple", can't show up bc of what ever exuce/reason for not having allergy accommodations and then have the audacity to charge hundreds of dollars for a meal. Sorry, I don't get it. I would love to come back when they decide to make some changes. The side of Carrots with goat cheese was my favorite. Our waitress was amazing, it's not on her, just the establishment not up to the task of providing reasonable substitutes for the price they're charging.

I've been here many times. But this weekend marks 2 of the worst experiences I've ever had. Why did I come back? For the tenderloin & convenience to Billy Bob's. But now that I've had 2 separate and awful experiences...you won't see my face again. I had reservations for 8:30 PM. I was on the dot at 8:25 PM. I was told to "just hang out they're getting your table ready." OK sure. Then the fun starts. A group of 5 walk in & they're checked in & seated BEFORE me & their reservation wasn't until 8:45 PM. But hang on...this is important. Their reservation was for 6 people. Mine was for 2. I finally get seated at 8:45 PM. The waiter comes over at 8:55 PM & wants to 'start my order' but asks where my 2nd person is. I tell him she's running late & he tells me "I can't start your order until all parties are here." And walks off. Excuse me? I just watched drinks being served to the table of 6 minus 1. The other hostess must have seen the look on my face because she came over & asked if I was OK. No...I'm not. I explained to her what just happened. She sends the manager over. I explain to him what just happened. Oh "that is not acceptable. I will personally make sure you are taken care of." Those are famous last words. I get a new server. What I don't get is a wine or my order taken. At 9:10 PM when I flag down 'new server'...I tell him my wine order & that I'm ready to order my dinner. Off he goes. Someone else shows up with my wine order. Then someone else with a different wine. Then a 3rd person with another wine.None of them mine. I flag down another server at 9:15 & order my tenderloin. Cold rare. At 9;30 the table next to me asked if I ordered any food because they had gone through 3 appetizers & a Bison rib eye. They were seated at 9:00 PM. I finally got my order at 9:45. I scarfed it down like a mad woman because Travis Tritt started at 10:00 PM. An hour & 45 minutes to get a meal is entirely unacceptable. I was still eating when I asked for my check.

Our meal was excellent at Lonesome Dove last night. The atmosphere was great and the food was even better. Our waitress was spot on with service and recommendations on both food and drinks. I would highly recommend the Elk tenderloin.
