Reata will relocate — and keep the same menu — nearby in Fort Worth.
Reata opened in 1995 in Alpine, Texas, a small town near Marfa. It relocated to downtown Fort Worth in 1996, first on Throckmorton and then on Houston streets. The restaurant will move back to Throckmorton in summer 2024.
The restaurant will reopen in July 2024 — the date is not yet set — at 530 Throckmorton St. in downtown Fort Worth. Reata will return to the same building where it served dishes like pepper-crusted tenderloin from 1996 until 2001. Reata left the tower in early 2001 after it was “blown out of the sky by a Texas tornado” in March 2000,Reata's tenderloin tamales are a customer favorite, says restaurant president Mike Micallef.
Reata was a fixture in Sundance Square in Fort Worth for more than 20 years. Its last dinner service there is June 30, 2024.Some popular dishes at Reata are blackened buffalo rib-eye, jalapeño-cilantro crusted Texas red fish and that timeless pepper-crusted tenderloin. Many order them with bacon-wrapped asparagus or spicy cheese grits as sides.
When Micallef and his team learned they’d need to move Reata, they didn’t consider selling it or closing it. The plan was always to find it a home, preferably one in downtown Fort Worth, which they found, Micallef said.“We’ve seen a big evolution in downtown,” he said. “If you go back into the 1980s, downtown wasn’t a place for people to come and eat dinner and go to a show, etc. That really changed there in the 1990s.
"Everybody loves the carne asada," said Reata president Mike Micallef. His dad Al Micallef started Reata in 1995 in West Texas and moved it to Fort Worth in 1996.Parking has since become a topic of concern in Sundance Square. In the latest news, no more free nighttime parking is available in Garage 3 as of June 22, 2024, fortworthreport.orguntil it closes at the end of service on June 30, 2024. Reata is expected to move to 530 Throckmorton St., Fort Worth, and reopen in July 2024.
