[Abacus - Restaurant Review
Abacus’s contemporary dining room is defined by rich textures, cool tones, and an earthy aesthetic. Leather, wood, and stone form a simple yet lighthearted backdrop for a dining experience that is nothing short of transporting. Executive Chef Kent Rathbun’s lively and engaging menu takes cues from around the globe, with Asian, Mediterranean, and Pacific Rim influences as well as a selection of both creative and traditional sushi. Playful innovation underlies dishes such as Salt-Crusted Calimari Fondue with Spicy Yellow Curry Sauce and “Bacon and Eggs,” comprised of Niman Ranch chipotle bacon and a scrambled duck egg. With an exceptional wine list and service to match the décor and cuisine, a meal at Abacus is both sensational and memorable.

Lanny's Alta Cocina Mexicana
Address: 3405 W. 7th St., Fort Worth, TX 76107 (Map)
Classic techniques and a formal understanding of haute cuisine shape the way Executive Chef Lanny P. Lancarte II approaches his Mexican-inspired menu. Growing up in the kitchen of Joe T. Garcia, his great grandfather, Lancarte translates the meaning of the meal in Mexico through a menu that offers possibilities like the Cream of Oaxacan Pasilla Soup, Mole Braised Lamb Shank, and Arroz con Leche to finish. Lancarte compliments his dishes with an Old World/New World wine list that exposes patrons to selections usually reserved for the cellar. While Lancarte continues his work learning and experiencing Mexican cuisine, the fruits of his labor make for seriously enjoyable dining.
