Whiskey Cake - Plano

Plano
We serve up tasty farm-to-kitchen dishes and cocktails, all made from scratch with ingredients sourced from local and regional farms and markets. We use slow-cooking methods on our wood grill and spit and in our smoker because it tastes better that way. Come dine with us at our communal tables, in one of our booths, on our sofas or rocking chairs, or perhaps on the porch next to the fireplace.

As always I was greeted when I walked in the door by Chef/Owner Abrham Salum with his huge smile and warm welcome. This months specials of Duck Confit Phyllo cigar and the Creamy Chicken Florentine did not disappoint. The atmosphere is elegant, upscale but yet comfortable. It truly is one of the best American Cuisine restaurants in Dallas.

We had gone to Uchiba on 3/9/25 for my birthday. The food is always spot on at Uchiba. Happy hour gives you the perfect opportunity to try many different things without breaking the bank. Eric (our server) and Patrick (the manager on duty) took great care of us and helped bring my birthday celebrations over the top. Highly recommend Uchiba for date nights, that special celebration or just a nice night out.

First class. What else needs to be said? You enter through the hotel. Free margaritas & fresh guacamole are being handed out. Tortilla soup - from the chef who made it famous at The Mansion. Oysters rock-a fearing. Buffalo tenderloin. Antelope and an enchilada filled with saddle of rabbit This was our time at Fearings. This restaurant holds its own with The Mansion. The food is definitely southwestern. Lots of complimentary breads. Gifts (multiple) from the chef. A slice of flourless chocolate cake given that it was our wedding anniversary was also complimentary. The “usual” chocolate brownie with ice cream was also very special - very happy we ordered it. I’m not a margarita drinker. I am now. Yes - that good. The margaritas ($25 a pop) are made with diamana liqueur and tequila - definitely different. Service was flawless. And there was very little noise - a bonus. Lastly. While expensive, the portions are more than ample. You will leave quite satisfied. Much better than feeling like they are serving you a child’s plate. One annoyance. Parking should be complimentary. The restaurant makes a decent profit off the food.
