After former tenant T&P Tavern closed in 2024, property owner Trinity Metro sought a new operator for the long-vacant space, ultimately selecting Edible Ideas Inc.<\/a>, the catering and events company owned by chef Douglas Brown.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had catered in this space before and loved the bones of the building,\u201d Brown tells PaperCity Fort Worth. \u201cWe thought that this space would have a lot of amazing synergy with the ballroom and restaurant together. Then, the concept grew and evolved into what you see.\u201d<\/p>\n Deep teal velvet banquettes and a dramatic ruby-red mural give the dining room a lavish, almost fantastical Art Deco aesthetic. Painted along the west wall, the highly anticipated restaurant<\/a>\u2019s muse sits in repose, her dress spilling across the floor. Interior designer Huong Dang tells us that her goal was to maintain the Art Deco aesthetic of T&P Station while lending a \u201crich, dark, and moody\u201d feel.<\/p>\n Original elements, like gold paneling near the ceiling, now \u201cpop\u201d because of the vibrant color scheme.<\/p>\n Brown says he wanted Station & Vine to feature a chef-driven menu paired with \u201capproachably priced wines.\u201d Chef Oscar Aponte, who has worked with Brown for years, leads the kitchen<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be some seasonality to what we offer, but the menu has a nice variety,\u201d Brown says. \u201cIt\u2019s not steak-focused, but it has some unique dishes on it. I love the braised lamb shank.\u201d<\/p>\n Beverage director and mixologist Matthew Barrington developed a cocktail program that includes a clarified margarita and an in-house barrel-aged Old Fashioned. Other menu highlights include Gulf red snapper with a Thai-ginger marinade, honey-glazed boneless short rib, a bourbon-brined center-cut pork chop, and cast iron steak frites.<\/p>\n Beyond the restaurant, Brown and his team will manage The Parlor (a craft cocktail lounge), an outdoor patio, and the adjacent T&P Ballroom for weddings and private events<\/a>. Later this fall, Brown plans to introduce \u201cThe Art of Sunday,\u201d<\/a> a brunch with carving stations.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will be like an old-school hotel brunch with different stations set up throughout the space,\u201d he says. \u201cWe are also looking at live music on one of the nights. When the weather is nice, you can make reservations for our patio.\u201d<\/p>\n Station & Vine, he says, will offer an upscale but very approachable dining experience.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want this restaurant to be approachable and welcoming to anyone,\u201d he says. \u201cEven though we\u2019re serving great food, wine, and cocktails, that Fort Worth hospitality will be there, so everyone who comes here will have a good time. This is a landmark for Fort Worth, and we want to do it justice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When the Texas & Pacific Station opened in 1931, it was one of the most opulent train stations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-381887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Station](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inside-Dining-Room-scaled.jpg\")
