\u201cThings are coming along nicely at Commodore with the dining room, bar, and outdoor terrace really starting to take shape,\u201d he says. They are \u201clooking forward to getting the doors open and welcoming everyone in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Duong DeVille<\/p>\n
405 Jim Wright Freeway<\/p>\n
Chef Hao Tran tells us \u201cprogress is steady\u201d at Duong DeVille, her forthcoming Vietnamese restaurant<\/a> focused on South and Central Vietnamese cuisine. She brought on chef Luu Lac, founder of the popular vegan food truck It\u2019s Food, to head the kitchen that will offer dishes such as Bun Bo Hue (spicy noodle soup), dumplings, rice cakes with shrimp, and vegan options. Coffee beans imported from North Vietnam will be another unique offering at this West Fort Worth destination set to open sometime this winter.<\/p>\n \t SHOP<\/p>\n Grove Hill <\/p>\n Eighteen Forty Two <\/p>\n MacKenzie-Childs <\/p>\n Verdadero Tequila<\/p>\n Pecos Jane <\/p>\n Zilker Belts<\/p>\n Zilker Brewing<\/p>\n Hutson Clothing Co.<\/p>\n Zadok Jewelers<\/p>\n 901 Houston Street<\/p>\n Located in the basement of the historic Hogan Building in downtown Fort Worth, Beverly\u2019s Downtown will bring a playful approach to Mexican dining<\/a>, blending familiar flavors with inventive dishes that aren\u2019t afraid to break with tradition. We recently toured the elegantly designed space and spoke with the team behind the restaurant, including Jeff Payne, Jason Cross, and chef Michael Arlt, who also brought The Mont to Fort Worth<\/a>. The Beverly\u2019s Downtown team is close to opening its doors, and we can\u2019t wait to see what inspirations they\u2019ve drawn from the varied regions of Mexico.<\/p>\n Uchib\u0101<\/p>\n 5185 Marathon Avenue<\/p>\n The Shops at Clearfork is gaining one of the most prized names in sushi: Uchib\u0101<\/a>. The Japanese dining concept comes from Austin-based Hai Hospitality, co-founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Tyson Cole. Its popular Dallas location has become known for sushi, Japanese-inspired small plates, and inventive cocktails. We expect the same level of culinary creativity and exceptional dining experiences when the Fort Worth location opens its doors.<\/p>\n Musume<\/p>\n 810 Houston Street<\/p>\n After a lengthy closure stemming from damage to its downtown building in 2024, Musume<\/a> is finally preparing to reopen on November 15. Diners can expect fresh seafood flown in daily from Japan, a nine-course omakase experience, and Fort Worth-exclusive dishes. Musume will also boast the city\u2019s \u201clargest sake collection,\u201d with more than 120 labels and more than 60 Japanese whiskies. The restaurant\u2019s historic bank vault and tatami room will return, along with more than 90 percent of its original Fort Worth staff.<\/p>\n 221 W. Lancaster Avenue<\/p>\n One of Fort Worth\u2019s most iconic Art Deco landmarks is getting a glamorous new dining destination. Located inside the historic Texas & Pacific Station, Station & Vine is nearing its long-awaited opening under the direction of chef Douglas Brown, owner of Edible Ideas Inc. We recently toured the lavishly designed space and spoke with Brown<\/a> about his vision for the restaurant, which will feature chef-driven Americana cuisine from chef Oscar Aponte, with dishes such as braised lamb shank, Gulf red snapper, and honey-glazed boneless short rib. Guests can also look forward to craft cocktails at The Parlor, an outdoor patio, and the revitalized T&P Ballroom for special events.<\/p>\n La Pistola Kitchen + Saloon<\/p>\n 1812 Montgomery Street<\/p>\n Jeffrey Yarbrough and Camille McDonald\u2019s La Pistola Kitchen + Saloon<\/a> draws inspiration from the dusty, gritty spirit of Spaghetti Western films that reinvented the American cowboy movie throughout the 1960s and \u201970s. Set to open in November across from Dickies Arena, the restaurant, cocktail bar, and wine destination will serve Italian-inspired sandwiches, including chicken Parmesan on house-made focaccia and the Cowgirl Italian with cured meats. Dinner offerings will range from lamb T-bone with Parmigiano polenta to charbroiled branzino, fresh pasta Bolognese, and New York strip steak.<\/p>\n Piattello Italian Kitchen<\/p>\n 5137 Marathon Avenue<\/p>\n This one is technically a move rather than a grand opening, but we had to include it. The Shops at Clearfork is gaining a new neighbor<\/a> with Piattello Italian Kitchen, the popular concept from chef Marcus Paslay (Clay Pigeon, Walloon\u2019s, Provender Hall). Relocating from Waterside, the Italian restaurant will feature a spacious new dining room, an outdoor patio, and expanded lunch and dinner service seven days a week. The new location is expected to open in November.<\/p>\n 3220 Rock Springs Road<\/p>\n Westland Hospitality, the local group behind Margie\u2019s Italian Garden, Pulido\u2019s Kitchen & Cantina, and other popular restaurant concepts, recently announced that it is hiring for Flora House, its revamped restaurant inside the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. In June, a spokesperson for the Botanic Garden told us about extensive renovations<\/a> that are transforming the popular cafe into a new dining destination. The menu will feature breakfast tacos, salads, wraps, crab cakes, smoked salmon, puff pastries, and kid-friendly options, giving visitors another reason to stay for a meal. Flora House is expected to open by year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n Roy Pope Grocery<\/p>\n 2300 Merrick Street<\/p>\n Roy Pope Grocery is under new ownership through Westland Hospitality, with chef Levi Gardner leading the transformation of the beloved neighborhood institution into a restaurant. We spoke with Gardner<\/a>, the former private chef to Taylor Sheridan, about the project earlier this year. While it was too early to reveal specific plans, he emphasized that his team will focus on \u201cwhat\u2019s right for Fort Worth and the people.\u201d<\/p>\n Al Biernat\u2019s<\/p>\n 913 Houston Street<\/p>\n One of Dallas\u2019 most celebrated steakhouses<\/a> is finally making its way west. Nearly three decades after opening its flagship Oak Lawn restaurant, Al Biernat\u2019s is preparing to bring its signature steaks, fresh seafood, extensive wine selection, and polished hospitality to downtown Fort Worth. The forthcoming restaurant will occupy the former Farm & Home Savings building on Houston Street, across from the Fort Worth Convention Center. An opening is anticipated sometime next year.<\/p>\n Partenope Ristorante<\/p>\n 2949 Crockett Street<\/p>\n Partenope Ristorante, the acclaimed Dallas restaurant<\/a>, is bringing its authentic Neapolitan pizzas to Fort Worth. Known for their pillowy, lightly charred crusts and high-quality Italian ingredients, the pizzas are joined on the menu by traditional Neapolitan pastas, paninis, salads, and appetizers. The new location will take over the former Fireside Pies space in Artisan Circle, with an opening anticipated in the coming months.<\/p>\n 1400 Henderson Street<\/p>\n The long-awaited revival of Fort Worth\u2019s historic Public Market is steadily taking shape. A project spokesperson tells us that the project is still in the construction phase. Chef Jenna Kinard<\/a> is heading the cafe, cocktail lounge, and the flagship restaurant, Madrone. The ambitious restoration promises to give Fort Worth another reason to celebrate its architectural history while introducing an exciting new chapter for the beloved property. An official opening date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n Luckybee Kitchen<\/p>\n 3509 South Hills Avenue<\/p>\n Although an opening date has yet to be announced, chef Jenny Castor is preparing to bring her popular Luckybee Kitchen concept to a brick-and-mortar space in the Westcliff neighborhood, just south of TCU. Since launching Luckybee Kitchen in 2016, Castor has built a following<\/a> through her food truck, boutique catering services, and wine pairing dinners. The intimate new restaurant will feature seasonal menus, chef collaborations, cooking classes, and customized private dining experiences.<\/p>\n Keeping up with Fort Worth\u2019s evolving dining scene continues to be a challenge worth accepting.<\/p>\n![\"Beverly\u2019s](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Beverly1-1024x576.jpg\")
