Went for brunch today. Not sure if it was due to the holiday or it's just always slow but there was no need for a reservation. Our server was very nice but everything was slow. We ordered 2 avocado benedicts and one salmon. They came out ice cold. They happily remade them but still, we were the only table at that point. Lemon ricotta pancakes were lovely and not too sweet. Lovely decor but we won't be back.

My expectations at first, to be honest, were not particularly high. We were just grabbing an early dinner at the hotel before the show. The bar is a shared lobby/restaurant bar. It has a great cocktail program, and an excellent selection of local draft beers. The restaurant space is very attractive, airy and spacious. Lots of light, and open to the kitchen. We were the first, and only diners, through a fairly quick 5pm seating on a Friday. After such a pleasant experience, it made us a bit sad that they weren't getting more business. Service was prompt, friendly and helpful. We shared the shishito peppers as a starter. The peppers were fresh and perfectly cooked. The plate at first appeared a little busy, with a caramel miso underneath and a nori and bonito topping. But it was well composed, and the additional ingredients added flavors I've not usually seen in shishito plates. The "wedge" was a split heart of romaine with abundant chunks of bacon. A nice and reasonably sized salad course. To keep the meal light, I did the wedge as half my main, and the bison meatballs as the second portion. The three meatballs were small and dense, but nicely flavored, and the mash and gravy made the plate a good lighter meal. The star of the plate was the grilled sourdough; so delicious I asked for a second piece. The wife's main was the mixed greens salad with shrimp. She enjoyed it, though commented it was a huge amount of greens. Overall very pleasant. We'll be staying at the Marriott Uptown again when we're in the area, and would now consider Good Graces to be our must stop for first night dining. 5 stars; they deserve a lot more business than is coming through the doors today.

Unbelievable. They have such personalized service. The new dinner menu is worth trying! I've had many versions of their menu and I always enjoy the creative and new options. The ambiance is classy and casual but upscale if needed. The bar is GREAT for drinks after dinner if you want to hang around.

Found street parking on the corner so I didn't have to pay for valet. Upon entering, it wasn't super obvious how to get seated. I think there was only one wait staff there on a Friday night which was fine because it was fairly empty anyway. The bar tender from the adjoining lobby helped us out. The service was friendly but a little slow. The food was mediocre. I tried a bite of the bone-in short rib and abandoned it right away. It had no flavor to it at all. I'm glad I filled up on my own entree which was the market tuna (I would recommend it but it's not a permanent dish on the menu). I would skip going to this restaurant a second time. There are so many other better options in the surrounding area. For the price, I expected a more elevated experience but everything was just mid.

A quaint “French bistro” inside the Marriott.Great design and set up. Friendly hostess. We had several items between the two of us: roasted broccoli, burrata, rib eye, fries and moritz cake. All were delicious.Convenient validated valet parking at the hotel.What went wrong: stale bread with the burratas. Waiter upsold me wine that was double the price. Clearly money wasn’t the issue, I’m just peeved that the server felt they needed to do that.Out of all the great options in the area, it will likely be a while before we return.Parking: Enter through the hotel

Appetizer was good, entree was decent, we ordered steak and some carb with duck meat. Couldn't really see any duck meat though. Desert for the uptown signature cheese cake, which is an absolute joke. It was deconstructed, not sure what that means but it is just hard to accept that kind of cake.

Service for Valentines was insanely slow. We were seated at least 10 minutes before I finally asked the hostess do we even have an assigned server?! I feel like the experience was an automatic gratuity situation. We both had the pre fixed menu and the meal was mostly pretty good. But they cut two scallops into a bunch of mini scallops which didn't equate to real value. Between the entree let down and the service disaster. I don't see myself returning here again. Nothing I hate more than leaving a bad review when I was expecting a great experience.

Food and staff was amazing! It was my daughter's birthday so we decided to go here for brunch and they did not disappoint. The food was great and our waitress were nice and very attentive. I will definitely be back.

Not a great hotel restaurant. The food was bland. They're trying to be something they aren't. They need to go back to basics. For the price, there are too many better options in walking distance.

They canceled my reservation due to the explosion today in downtown Fort Worth, they felt that to continue on business as usual would not only risked the safety of their staff, but would also send out a negative signal to the community.I’m not from Fort Worth but I must say that, that type of leadership in itself is worth 5 STARS! I wish more small businesses would emulate this type of leadership. Great Job management ! I hope to be back in town soon to spend some money!

I decided to try this place out since we were staying at the Marriott uptown hotel already (it's conveniently located inside!) and a friend heard good reviews! It wasn't crowded for a weekend brunch (went around 8:30am). Service was great and servers were attentive! I got a coffee and was frequently offered refills. We ordered the omelet with bacon, feta, spinach and mushrooms and it was pretty nicely prepared! The lemon ricotta pancakes were delicious! Just enough powdered sugar and there was syrup on the side. I will say the portions are on the smaller side but it was perfect for us to not leave any uneaten food behind. It's a nice modern atmosphere and I'd definitely come back if I was nearby again!!

The food was good. Worth another visit. But...it's in a hotel and feels like it. Too much lighting, too hotel-like. You go to Fearing's in a hotel and you'd never know it. Staff were friendly but not attentiveness to refilling water or wine glasses. Not so busy this could not have been done. And dirty menus.

Came in from out of town for the Dallas Cowboy game. We ate late so the restaurant had few customers which was nice as we had the restaurant to ourselves. The food was delicious! Our server did an exceptional job taking care of a hungry crowd.Parking: We drove around the block trying to find parking and finally we called the restaurant and was informed where to park.

Came here for weekday breakfast as a hotel guest. Was hesitant given other reviews but the convenience and seemingly nice modern decor convinced me. Practically empty except one other table. Got a table by window which had AC blasting right on top but fine with a layer on.Food- omelette with 4 ingredients to choose from.Opted for the salmon, feta, mushroom and spinach and was nicely done. Piping out and fluffy eggs. Side of roasted potatoes were nicely cooked with crispy exterior and fluffy inside, also piping out. Coffee was refilled without being asked. Service very attentive and very professional.
