Truly enjoyed our dining experience. The entire staff is very attentive. Keegan was our waiter and was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. Excellent, but expensive, wine list. Food was delicious (steak and lamb). We were surprised that the “complimentary” champagne when we first arrived was actually charged on our bill.

We dined in the bar area for the first time. It was a wonderful experience. We tried the bison filet for the first time. It was incredible! Our server Myra I think was amazing!

As always the Silver Fox was exceptional! From the onion ring (best I’ve ever had) appetizer, fabulous salad options to the best prime steaks in Fort Worth, you will not be disappointed! This is our go to restaurant for out of town guests, special occasions or just a nice dinner for two. The cheesecake was divine and Ryan, our server, was very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive! Thanks again for an incredible dining experience!!

West 7th Corridor

About the restaurant

Paris 7th … as in West 7th Street, where we are located in the cultural District of Fort Worth just west of downtown. Paris 7th … as in the very cultural 7th arrondissement of The Paris.

The Paris 7th district is where you will find some of the world’s most recognized landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d’Orsay and Les Invalides Museum, home to Napoleon’s tomb but also, a quartier known for its fine French food. Cafés, restaurants and gourmet shops are woven into the beautiful streets of the left bank but since we can’t go tonight, here we are at Paris 7th. Let us entertain you!

Waters Restaurant

Seafood

Fort Worth Downtown

About the restaurant

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.
