There's no denying Fort Worth is full of high-quality restaurants and talented chefs, but only one was included on a new list by restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

Called OpenTable Icons, it's a new set of ratings the site launched in July 2024, highlighting local eateries in 25 cities across the U.S. and Canada, from award-winners to trendy hotspots and all types of cuisine. Chosen restaurants must have recently earned Michelin stars, James Beard Awards or nominations, positive reviews from diners and critics, and more.

Dallas-Fort Worth was lumped together (as usual) with 13 restaurants on the list, comprising a combination of fine dining establishments and international culinary experiences, with a majority located in Dallas.

Out of the 13, the lone Fort Worth restaurant that earned a spot: Reata Restaurant, which they said was a must-try dining destination known for its "quintessentially Texan cowboy meal."

"Hearty Tex-Mex plates include chicken-fried steak with cracked-pepper cream gravy and tacos stuffed with caramelized bananas and chocolate 'gravy,'" OpenTable's editors wrote. "A pitch-perfect wine list focused on small producers makes every meal here feel like a special occasion."

Notably absent are classic Fort Worth restaurants such as Paloma Suerte, 97 West Kitchen and Bar, or Quince — all of which are also OpenTable clients.

Here is the full list of DFW Icons:

• Al Biernat's, a steakhouse in Dallas' Turtle Creek/Oak Lawn neighborhood
• José, a contemporary Mexican restaurant in Park Cities
• Mister Charles, a luxurious American restaurant on Knox Street
• The Mansion Restaurant at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, a historic contemporary American restaurant
• Bob's Steak & Chop House, a classic steakhouse in Dallas' Turtle Creek/Oak Lawn neighborhood
• Roots Southern Table, a Southern restaurant in Farmers Branch
• Nick & Sam's Steakhouse, a Japanese steak and seafood-focused steakhouse in Uptown Dallas
• Town Hearth, a fine dining steakhouse in Dallas' Design District
• Fearing's, an innovative Southwestern restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas in Uptown

• Restaurant Beatrice, a Creole-Cajun restaurant in Dallas' Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts neighborhood
• Tei-An, Japanese omakase restaurant in Dallas' Arts District

Steakhouses were the most represented on the list, with four out of 13 establishments focused on world-class steak dinners and extensive wine programs.
