My husband and I had a great dinner at the 12 Gage restaurant last week . We sat outside on the patio and a lovely lady was playing the guitar and singing. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing . The food and wine were delicious and delivered in a reasonable time . It was an excellent meal and we will be back again !

The original Reata Restaurant located in the scenic Davis Mountains of west Texas offers the same fine dining and Legendary Texas Cuisine you can find at the Fort Worth location.

This is not food for the faint of heart, from Chicken Fried Steak to Calf Fries or the Pepper Crusted Tenderloin and Cowboy Rib Eye Steak, this is a dining experience not to miss.

The food we got was very delicious! The portions are huge so you can share with someone if you feel like it. It's all very worth the price with how good everything was otherwise! Our server, Mariah, took very good care of us that night.

Delicious food! The arancini with the spring onion sauce quite flavorful and the shaved brussel sprout Caesar salad was one of the most flavorful Caesar’s we have ever had. The beef ragu lasagna quite delicious, though could have used more ragu. And the fried chicken piccata was a nice new take on a traditionally pan sautéed dish. The lemon tart with blueberries was again one of the best we’ve had, the pistacio blueberry crumble a nice surprise!! All servings were most generous. Only downside was the wine. Our first three choices were unavailable. Finally got a nice Willamette Pinot noir.

Tapas / Small Plates

Amarillo

About the restaurant

Contrary to what most think, the word tapas actually means "to cover". Rooted as a tradition in Spanish culture, socializing patrons of restaurants would cover their wine glasses with small plates to protect their beverages from insects and small pests while outdoors. At Savor, we pay homage to this ritual in our own unique way. The urban and chic atmosphere invites locals to step outside Amarillo for an evening and into another place entirely. With an urban, speakeasy vibe, Savor welcomes its patrons to sit comfortably at the bar or in a cozy booth next to the floor to ceiling windows.

The food at Claraboya is always fantastic! Our waitress was so kind and attentive. The price for the entrees is comparable to other high end restaurants, but the appetizers were very pricey. I love the atmosphere…makes you feel like you are out of town on vacation while still being in your hometown. I highly recommend Claraboya!
