This weekend my husband and I ventured to a new establishment, Fion Wine Pub in Steiner Ranch, for a birthday dinner. This place is really interesting. While it started out as a beer and wine retail store, they have recently added a bistro-style dining area complete with an open chef’s kitchen and eclectic decor. The store boasts a HUGE selection of beer and wine, 500 different beers from around the world (some of them housed in an actual beer cave) and hundreds of bottles of wine. Prices are pretty reasonable and anything you purchase can be purchased for immediate consumption with dinner.
While I can’t comment on the meat-filled dishes, we did order fresh Texas jalapenos stuffed with pork, chorizo, and queso and beer-battered mushrooms with a crispy panko breading both of which were a big hit with our fellow patrons. For dinner I ordered a sandwich consisting of grilled tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant with mozzarella and basil on crusty rosemary bread with sweet potato fries. The rosemary bread was some of the softest I’d eaten and everything blended together nicely, so nicely that I didn’t have to ask for a to go box like I am known to do:)
The 16oz. cast-iron skillet-seared beef tenderloin with sauteed spinach & oven-roasted Yukon gold potato hash and fried chicken served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and spicy slaw were some of the biggest dishes I’ve seen. So big in fact it took a couple of guys just to finish it!
This place is great if you want to enjoy a quiet meal while with family or a group of friends.
