New choices for Christmas Day: Cut & Bourbon, Toro Toro, Wicked Butcher bar all open
If you waited to make your Christmas Day reservation, you’re in luck.
All three new local hotels have announced specials for Christmas.
It’s a way to draw new diners to Cut & Bourbon, Toro Toro Latin Steakhouse and Wicked Butcher.
▪ Cut & Bourbon, a big success for its Thanksgiving buffet, will serve a brunch menu and seafood buffet
It’s a $56 brunch in the new Live by Loews! hotel in Arlington. (On Christmas, there won’t be any game traffic.)
Cut & Bourbon is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily at 1600 E. Randol Mill Road, 682-277-4950, loewshotels.com
▪ Toro Toro, a fast hit for its eye-catching grill and steakhouse flavor, will serve a special featuring a jalapeno-stuffed beef tenderloin with an ancho-sweet-onion demi-glace.
(So far, any steak or beef from Toro Toro is a hit, down to the lunch cheddar burger with bacon-onion jam.)
The Christmas Day menu also includes crispy Brussels sprouts, potatoes “three ways” and the restaurant’s kale salad with a sweet chipotle vinaigrette.
For dessert: Toro Toro’s cinnamon sopaipilla with lemongrass-vanilla ice cream.
Yes, it’s $65.
If you want to try Toro Toro a different day, it has $14 burgers and a $25 lunch combo in midday, and it’s open daily for lunch and dinner.
It’s at 200 Main St. in the dramatically remodeled Worthington Renaissance; 817-210-2222, torotorofortworth.com.
▪ Wicked Butcher, opening soon on the lower level of the Art Deco marvel Sinclair Hotel, is serving a Christmas Day menu in the first-floor Wicked Bar.
The menu is a preview of the prime steakhouse menu Wicked Butcher will serve downstairs, including a filet mignon a bone-in ribeye, a tomahawk chop and sides such as wild mushrooms and chateau mashed potatoes.
Desserts will include a lemon-cardamom crème brulée or cheesecake-in-a-jar.
It’s all at standard menu prices; 512 Main St., 817-601-4621, wickedbutcher.com.
▪ Both Mercury Chophouse and Ruth’s Chris Steak House are also serving Christmas Day prime-steakhouse lunch. (Del Frisco’s Grille opens that evening.)
▪ The Omni Fort Worth has a few tables remaining for its expansive holiday brunch upstairs; $70. The Cast Iron cafe is also open, 1300 Houston St., 817-350-4106, omnifortworthhotel.com.
