Also on Tuesday June 23 (6:30PM) enjoy the ultimate in indulgence with a “Summer Truffle Dinner”. 4 courses featuring truffles and paired with local wines for $200 per person.
Bistro Louise
If you’re already thinking about plans for the Fourth of July Bistro Louise will be offering a special menu. It’s a New England Clam and Lobster Bake Buffet and boneless pot roasted short ribs and Colorado tenderloin stuffed peppers. $29.95 per person, $18.95 to add a whole poached lobster. The dinner is from 5:30PM – 8:00PM to give you enough time to catch the fireworks.
Also until the end of June Bistro Louise is offering a 2 for 1 special. If you purchase one entree you can receive a second entree free, seating begins at 5:30PM.
Blue Mesa
Blue Mesa is holding a corn festival through the end of July. They will feature dishes made with Texas corn grown by farmers Larry Harvey and Craig Janske. I’m sure corn dishes will pair well with one of their excellent top shelf margaritas.
Ellerbe’s Fine Foods
Ellerbe’s Fine Foods on Magnolia had a soft opening on June 9th and it seems many a foodie has visited since their opening. Kevin Buchanan at FortWorthology posted a nice review. I visited and had a beautiful heirloom tomato salad and delicious lamb. I hope to make another visit soon so I can review it. Ellerbe’s has a fine dining atmosphere and price tag with entrees from $16 – $34. The lunch prices seem reasonably priced at $9 – $24.
Paco and John’s
Paco and John’s started serving dinner recently. I visited and thoroughly enjoyed my meal, it is well worth a try. Read my review here. They also serve lunch and breakfast. Check them out!
Taverna
Taverna in Downtown has half-price bottles of wine on Wednesdays with the purchase of an entree.
Zambrano’s
Zambrano’s is holding an Argentine Wine Tasting Tuesday June 30th from 6:30PM – 8:00PM, $20 + tax & tip. You will sample 4 highly rated wines from Argentina, one white and three reds. Seating is limited and reservations are required. This would make for a great date night.
Spiral Diner
Check out their new Blue Plate Special: Fig & Fennel Sandwich, Roasted fennel with grilled red bell peppers, red onions, artichoke hearts and tomatoes served on ciabatta bread with fig preserves and mayo – that sounds a little bit divine.
