• Seafood • Fort Worth Downtown

Booked 42 times today

At Waters Restaurant – Sundance Square, we source the freshest wild, seasonal, and sustainable seafood available. Our style brings together flavors of the southwest, with hints of Louisiana, but our featured ingredients themselves typically speak the loudest. Our Signature Gumbo hastens back to some Creole roots when Jon Bonnell cooked in the French Quarter of New Orleans, while our beef gets the royal treatment Chef Felli has made famous for much of his career. Diver scallops from Maine get a slight TexMex makeover after being perfectly golden-crust-seared, while jumbo lump crabcakes celebrate beautifully fresh crab as their essence, never loaded with fillers just to save a buck. We will never utilize third-world fish farms, cheap seafood substitutes, artificial flavorings, or exploit threatened species at Waters. We strive for only the best experience for our guests, while at the same time being good stewards of our environment and our future.

Dining experience was superb. Tucker, our waiter, provided exemplary service. He explained the chefs specials thoroughly, didn’t race through them and didn’t hover over us while eating. Food was served hot and in nice intervals. Capital Grille is always busy but still provides a quality dining experience. Meal was delicious and we cannot wait to return. Thank you Tucker for making our birthday dinner celebration one to remember.

Love the ambiance. The open grill area is it's own attraction. The churrasco with brussel sprouts, pork belly Mac and cheese, and the potatoes was the best for our group. Excellent!
