Based on Edna Ferber's famous novel, the film starred James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor. When the Reata expanded to its newest location in Fort Worth, models of these motion picture greats became part of the decor. From the classic food to the nostalgic ranch atmosphere, Reata is truly a glimpse into the past. Executive Chef Grady Spears created the full menu, from Cream of Jalape o and Cilantro Soup to Chile Rellenos and especially steaks. Much of the Reata's beef comes from Al Micallef's Highland Hereford Herd that he raises on the Clear Fork Ranch.
Steaks are among the favorite dishes of Reata patrons, but the Reata has much more to offer.
Every dinner is accompanied by a basket of fresh sourdough bread. The Atmosphere The Reata restaurants are decorated with Remington sculptures, huge murals in the master's style, cow-hide chairs, and genuine Cowboy memorabilia. The atmosphere is homey and casual, but the service and food are first-rate. The Reata is a place to relax, reflect, and enjoy the good times.
