Chef Tim Love’s flagship restaurant, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro first opened in 2000, in Fort Worth’s Historic Stockyards District, and quickly became the city’s premiere dining establishment. Love has designed a menu influenced by all of the ingredients and cultures that have been a part of the West since the first adventure began on the Goodnight-Loving and Chisholm Trails — with an added level of modern sophistication. Love’s food at Lonesome Dove reflects his famously unique “Urban Western” cuisine, celebrating his creative uses of bold flavors and wild game, with an inventive selection of steaks and seafood to dishes such as Wagyu Tomahawk, Kangaroo Carpaccio, Rocky Mountain Elk Ribeye, Wild Boar Ribs, and Rabbit & Rattlesnake Sausage. The Lonesome Dove Western Bistro has received numerous awards and critical acclaim from Wine Spectator, Food & Wine, Zagat Survey, Southern Living, Esquire, The New York Times, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Dallas Morning News, and more.

    Beautiful restaurant with excellent staff and service. However, the food quality was inconsistent across our meal. Some dishes were excellent, some were just ok. Overall, we very much enjoyed our dining experience and will return to try other dishes.

    Food was amazing! Price matched the quality. New Year’s Eve so it was busy so service was a little slow but with the crowd and all I think they did very well. Numerous staff members checked on us a few times to make sure everything was great. Will recommend this place to others and definitely be back.

    Went on NYE for dinner, decided on the set menu that allowed some choices. The appetizer was great on taste, but the quail was not visable. Asked about the missing quail. Told it was pureed into the dish. Could have been, but quail wasn't visible. Dish was still exceptional on taste. Ordered the wagyu tomahawk steak for entree. Ordered medium rare, but was rare. The waiter ask the chef about the steak, and told us the chef said that is the way he cooked medium rare. The waiter even said it looked rare to him. Took away from the perfect meal, but overall the meal and experience was very good. The dessert was exceptional, an explosion of flavors on you palate.

    Service was excellent. Jeremy was our server and he was attentive and helpful. The food is good. We didn’t have any wild game (not our thing) but the chicken fried steak was the best ever.

    Food was good, but service was very bad. Will likely seek out new restaurants next time I am in the area.
