    I went up here on a whim for a belated birthday dinner with my pops. I honestly wanted to order some fancier stuff but we went with the pizza because we were on that vibe lol. It was really good, but I wish I tried more of their menu. Honestly will be going back and likely will have a 5 star experience. The only reason I'm giving it 4 is because if I'm just basing it off pizza, I've had some really amazing pizza in the world, and I hold that 5-star for those couple spots. Everything else was for sure five stars and worth checking out. Server was excellent, fun, and attentive. She was a downright sweet person. No complaints there whatsoever. We ordered the arincini, soup of the day, and the pizza. All of it was great. The arincini was slightly overdone, but I didn't care because the salsa verde with it was so unique and delicious. I can't wait to go back. I will update with more of the experience when I do! Thanks, guys!

    Did a second try on this spot for breakfast. Hands down one of the best in Fort Worth. Service was fantastic also. Steak and Eggs perfectly cooked (best scrambled eggs ever) and waffle is made with a batter that perfectly compliments the syrup and is balanced with a chantilly cream. Their muffins are made in house and had a good balance of flavor. Their coffee was very good too!

    Espresso Martini

    Started with a cocktail at the bar while I waited for girlfriends to show up. This was possibly the best espresso martini I have had in a while in Fort Worth. Would recommend the bar for happy hour! We dinned as a small group of 5 in main dining. The dining room is stunning! Can be a little noisy but if you're table is having fun it's easy to overlook. Our server was excellent. Helped us with wine selections and shared their recommendations. We did a little of everything for the table and shared family style. Nothing disappointed us! We left full and happy! Would highly recommend for a nice date night, girl dinner or celebratory meal.

    This was a really beautiful restaurant which is nestled inside the Crescent Hotel in Fort Worth. We made reservations in advance and were greeted immediately with a smile. Once seated, our server Kevin, brought us water and menus. We ordered the 6 ounce sirloin, potatoes, and asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly and melted in our mouths! OMG, no kidding, we talked about that steak for days. The restrooms were nice and parking was by valet. The only negatives were some fruit flies or gnats that made their presence known and the service. We are comfortable paying higher prices for an outstanding experience and food, but our service did not match it the hotel, the clientele, or our expectations. Here are some examples. Unfortunately, we had to ask several times for lemons from our server. When our friend asked, Kevin reached for the one lemon on a plate and placed it on our friend's glass as if to say "here you are." We all wanted more lemon, but that was too familiar. I wouldn't want someone else's hands to touch my lemon and squeeze it onto my glass unless they were doing food prep or were preparing drinks. Servers handle menus and what not, so that was not okay. When he finally did bring them, there was no acknowledgement of the wait. Again, the food is pretty pricey but we were prepared for a special celebration. This was not a night at Boomer Jack's. I would give them 3 1/2 stars if I could, but 3 will have to do today.

    Hubby wanted to go to a "hotel breakfast" this weekend, so i picked one of the newer hotels in the Cultural District- the Crescent on Camp Bowie. I managed to make the reservation for the wrong day, but they were happy to transfer it to Sunday and get us seated. It is a beautiful open, modern space with lots of natural light. Service was attentive and helpful throughout. Hubby got the Salmon Benedict and really enjoyed it. I got this beautiful Superfoods Bowl - cacao yogurt with chia, goji berries, pomegranate seeds, blueberries and candy coated hazelnuts and one of their handmade croissants.

    I was greeted as soon as I walked into the hotel. The restaurant atmosphere is cozy, and the chairs are comfortable. The Santa's slay cocktail was delicious! I learned brunch is only on Sat and Sun. I was the only customer and service was extremely slow. Unsure how service would be with a packed house. Note: The establishment doesn't offer free parking. Make sure the full menu is available during your visit.

    Coffee 10/10 from local roasters. Two eggs any style 10/10, eggs were scrambled with toast and the potato galette and I added bacon. All of the food was top notch quality. Eggs were not over cooked and served with a little salt and pepper. The added bacon was thick cut and there was four pieces! Big pieces. The potato galette was exactly what Travis described and more. Sprinkled with large chunks of salt and it tasted like there was a little lime zest, but I love margaritas so maybe I am projecting. For the holiday drink I ordered the Harvest Moon. The cinnamon acre whiskey and apple cider pair perfectly and the brown sugar simple syrup makes this drink dangerously delicious. If this drink is available all year it would be my go to drink. Travis is the GOAT. He was very helpful when i asked questions about the menu. Travis was also consistent with filling up my coffee, so it was rarely cold or low. Travis was the only server on the floor and before I left he was handling four extra tables himself. Great job Travis. Cost of the food here is the same as any hotel restaurants, but I honestly think the quality makes up for it. I can envision myself bringing family from out of town here as a treat.

    This was such a cute place for brunch! The service was friendly and attentive, the food was good, and I enjoyed my cocktail. There weren't many people inside the restaurant for brunch, which made it easy for us to grab our table earlier than our reservation. The decor is a very pretty inside the hotel and offered an upscale ambiance.

    Overcooked halibut and shellfish over fregola. Fish was wrapped in lettuce or something, didn't add anything and was odd texture.

    Really, really wish I could rate this more highly as we were really anticipating a great evening. Greeted promptly and seated by kind hostesses, however, that was the last prompt interaction all night. Inexplicable lapses and delays for food, had to flag someone down to order another drink because our server was MIA. Food very uneven as well. Loved the oysters and the burrata itself (the focaccia with the burrata was stale and had no flavor). Gem salad was good, asparagus was woody. Gemelli pasta with mint and peas was tasty but my halibut was overcooked and I thought the "green cioppino" served over it was not worth it - just a weird broth with overcooked clams and mussels around the edge of dish. Anyway. You get the point. Did enjoy some inventive cocktails at the beginning, before everything went downhill. Beautiful airy space and I liked the deep blue color in the restroom.

    This elegant hotel the Crescent is nestled in the perfect spot on Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth. Once entering the hotel, we went to the bar (Emilia's) seated ourselves, then waited for someone to give us a menu, drink or something. Plus I needed to let them know my name and I was an Elite Yelp Team Member. Unfortunately it took some time before we were even noticed. ( they were not that busy ). Finally a nice looking bartender, took our order ( I had the Santas sleigh and she ordered a veggie pizza and a margarita ) the gentlemen told me that I had a gift from Yelp and he would be right back with the gift and the drinks. My friend, Lenise and I sat and chatted about our day as we were people watching and enjoying ourselves. I'm glad that we dressed for the occasion. I snapped a couple photographs and then our order came. I'm not a big fan of a veggie pizza but I did have one slice, we enjoyed our drinks ordered another one and then we decided we would go to the lobby so I could take some more photographs and then we would head home. I had my parking ticket validated took some photographs and left. I do recommend this hotel because I like elegance and quality. I believe that I would like to return but stay for an evening or two relaxing and enjoying myself. ( thank you Yelp and Kendall for the nice gift that I received ) Merry Christmas !!

    Free Spirited - Just In Thyme $13
    Brittany F.

    Discovered Emilia's on IG. Decided to stop in for brunch. Called ahead and believe I was told Brunch was over at 3, could have been miscommunication. Thinking it ended at 3, we arrived around 2pm and were told brunch had ended. Decided to stay for a mocktail. Ordered Just In Thyme. Love that they have crafted a Free Spirited Menu, this one wasn't a favorite though. Tasted like a sweet lemonade. I will have to try another next visit. Presentation 5/5 Taste 3/5 Service- We were checked on often by both bartenders & other staff members as they passed by. Ambiance- Beautiful Lobby & Bar Would love to see vegan entrees added to the menu, I was told the salads could be modified to be vegan, but an entree option would be nice.

Apéritivo Hour should draw locals running every day in the bar & patio including drinks & snacks. I wish I had come with a larger appetite because the menu offers a balanced selection of antipasti (starters), zuppa (soup), insalata (salad), primi (housemade pasta), secondi (protein dishes), and contorni (sides). My gracious server recommended a Rosemary Foccaccia (saved for next time) and Wild Arugula salad that was garden fresh in a Texas pecan vinaigrette with snappy pecorino and the most incredible crisped chicken skin as an alternative to traditional breadcrumbs. It was light and fresh with depth and richness, a perfect starter. From cool to warm - a Kabocha Squash Soup made with honeycrisp apple cider topped a tart currant chutney and crunchy roasted pine nuts. Texture was velvety smooth, delicately sweet, perfectly balanced, thoughtfully light to precede later dishes. Dessert a must, ask for house recommendation which rotates.

While our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient -- and initially we were not in a rush for the evening -- I did mention having an uber scheduled for pick up 2 hours after our reservation time and they were a bit loquacious. I guess our main courses were not placed until about 15mins before our uber pick up so we essential took two bites of our dinner and rushed out. By this time the restaurant was packed. I paid cash and conveniently, their register didn't have enough bills to give an exact amount back so I paid an enormous tip. I didn't find that classy, but otherwise it was a great experience!

We ordered the calamari and the bread & ricotta. I really loved the bread & ricotta. Something always gets me about bread and cheese. The calamari was pretty good, I liked the addition of the olives, but overall it was a typical calamari dish. We also ordered the little gem salad to share. It was perfect because there were 4 gems for each of us. This was also decent. Nothing particularly memorable about this dish, but still good. We each ordered our own entree. Our friends ordered the vodka rigatoni and the lasagna bolognese. Hubby ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and I had the cacio e Pepe and added sausage. Pastas were cooked to the perfect al dente. There was so much meat in all our entrees. We each had a bite of each other's meals. I couldn't decide which one I liked best. They were all so very good and they all tasted different. I really love having foodie friends. And then we ended with dessert/after dinner drinks. Our friends got an affogato and an espresso martini. Hubby and I shared the pistachio cake. That pistachio cake is to die for. I don't want to over exaggerate because what if you decide to get it and you hate it? Well, I loved it. It wasn't too sweet and the salt flakes on top was perfection! It was so good with the affogato. 100% would get again.

Our server was a WONDERFUL young lady named Jasmine. Very attentive, almost "intuitive", but not too intrusive. Perfect service. Food: Bread was nice, in house made garlic rolls with a light pretzel salt on top. I had Chicken Parmigiana, on a bed of thin spaghetti. My wife had the Lasagna. Portions were very generous. (I'm Cajun, so a "portion" to me usually feeds two. I was full and happy.) Chicken was fresh, hot, perfect breading. Marinara sauce tasted like homemade sauce, with a perfect amount and blend of Italian herbs. I had my wife's leftover lasagna for supper. (She loved it, but there was a lot.) It was every bit as good as my entree. I'm guessing that was ground veal. Wonderful! A gentleman I assume was the owner/manager came around to personally make sure the dining experience was good. Price was well in line with other sit down restaurants. (About $37 for both, and got 3 meals out of it.) Overall experience: I'd give it a 9.5, only because I don't give 10's.
