Cast Iron

I'm not a salad person so to say I really enjoyed this salad is saying a lot! It was fresh, nicely presented and I loved the avocado and the crispy bread on top. I added shrimp and they were delicious. I deducted one star because I couldn't really taste the Caesar dressing. It needed a bit more flavor. Overall, really enjoyed it!The lavender crème brûlée was EXCELLENT. This restaurant is inside the Omni hotel. The hotel and thE restaurant have very nice ambiance and decor as well as great customer service.

This restaurant is located inside of the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. I stopped in near the end of breakfast around 10:45/10:50 and there was no one at reception so I wasn't sure if I should wait or seat myself. Finally, I was able to grab someone's attention and they had me order at the front. There must have been a misunderstanding between the various employees because I was expecting to sit down and order and they'd registered me for a to-go meal so I ordered and paid at the desk assuming I would then be seated. After clarifying that I was there for a sit-down meal, they sat me at an empty table and let the kitchen know I didn't need it to-go. Service was also a bit rocky at the start, and I was made to feel as a bit of an inconvenience when I was trying to be seated and order. Once I sat down there was a server who checked in to ensure the water glass was full, etc. The lighting, tables, and decor was very nice and the space felt a bit cozy and inviting. The booth/banquette-style seats sink in a bit too much, so I would recommend a table with chairs. Much more comfortable and convenient for eating. Unfortunately, the food was a massive disappointment, especially for the price. I ordered the Southwest Breakfast Bowl and I would not recommend this to anyone. The meat was essentially unseasoned ground beef/burger meat, and nothing had any flavor. The presentation was great, but the food was bland at best and I had to force myself to eat it. For $22, I'd expect it to be at least palatable but even the provided ketchup didn't make it a meal I would actively want to eat.I also ordered the Homegrown Lavender Crème Brûlée and while it was delicious, I could not overtly taste the lavender. I would recommend this, but keep your expectations for the lavender flavor a bit low. It's a good classic crème brûlée.Overall, I would recommend the dessert, but I'm not sure I would recommend an actual meal here. I was also unimpressed with the level of service and care.

The service was great. I had ordered to take up to our room to eat. Last minute change to dine in and my husband would join me. They were happy to accommodate no matter. The food was amazing. I had the quinoa salad and the creme brûlée. Both were superb. My husband had a Turkey club and fries. Again very delicious. Completely yummy. Highly recommend.

December 2022, we went to Christmas brunch. The Buffett of food and service were amazing. Today, April 9, 2023, we did the Easter brunch Buffett. It was a much smaller scale Buffett from Christmas, but still very nice. You can't beat free mimosas. We were, however, slightly disappointed and underwhelmed with the carved meats, hot vegetables and potatoes all lacking in flavor and seasonings. The Brussels sprouts and broccolini were under cooked and very tough. The charcuterie board, salads, seafood and breads were amazing. They had an omelet station along with breakfast food stations. The dessert table had many delicious sweets to choose from. Bread pudding, carrot cake, muffins, tarts, puddings, etc. They also had a table to decorate cookies and Easter egg hunts for the kids. The Omni produced a well executed and beautifully organized Buffett for all to enjoy. The staff did a wonderful job making sure everyone had a great time. We will definitely be doing this on special occasions.

Overall a really great spot- definitely convenient for hotel but also fun options for breakfast.

For me, the food was a 3 (average), as was the service. Not bad, just not good enough to get me to go back again with so mane great choices in the downtown Fort Worth area. I liked the decor and atmosphere best. Prices were reasonable.

Thanksgiving brunch was a hit. Some in our family do not enjoy turkey. To them oysters, shrimp, sushi and smoked salmon were a big hit. The risotto was very good. The service was great my glass of Diet Coke was never empty. I want to especially mention Milton who served us. We'll ask for him again.

Went in for breakfast, ordered the avocado toast. It was so good, lots of sliced avocado, tomato w a perfect poached egg all on toast. The server was nice.

Conveniently located with in the Omi hotel. Directly across the street from the convention center.Menu is not super appetizing to me. I would prefer to eat else where, but due to convenience I've had breakfast and lunch here. If you choose to dine here.. no matter the time of day or the amount of folks that are here, be prepare to wait.....the food time is incredible long....... so long! (Unless you get the breakfast buffet.. this is your best bet!)

After trying all 3 meals at Cast Iron, I've got mixed feelings... I organized my review by meal, so read what's applicable. Breakfast: Biscuits and gravy - super basic, nothing to write home about, but a solid simple choice. Granola parfait - big enough to feed an army, but beautiful and delicious. Texas waffle - instead of berry compote they literally just tossed a few blueberries on top, and it wasn't a large Texas waffle either, definitely not worth the price tag. Coffee - my mom ordered a "mocha frap" in the hopes of getting some sort of chocolatey iced coffee... the waitress brought back a caramel latte with no explanation, and when asked if she could do an iced coffee just shrugged her shoulders and said "we don't do that here." Service - waitress seemed out out having to take our order and bring us food, since we aren't breakfast buffet people. Overall: not worth the price tag, service was a miss. Lunch: Chicken salad sandwich - call your grandma and ask when she started working here. So good! The marble rye fell apart and made a mess, but I'd eat a bucket of this chicken salad. Also, the absolute best sweet pickles I've ever had. Bonus, the fries are amazing! Fish and chips - husband polished off every bite of his food in about five seconds flat, raving about freshness and also the magical tartar sauce. Cowboy cookies - husband loved them so much he didn't share, but they looked awfully good. Service - outstanding waiter (Felipe I think), very attentive and amiable. Overall - reasonable prices, great service, worth it! Dinner (via room service):Shrimp pasta - obnoxiously small portion of bland pasta and five small/medium shrimp. Chicken quesadilla - great blend of veggies and bland chicken, too much cheese, with a side of food poisoning, yum! Dr. Pepper chocolate cake - one bite each and we were done, so glad we wasted money on two. I'm a chocolate cake connoisseur, and a professional baker. The texture and taste were very off putting, like modeling clay gray wanted to be cake. Service - seemingly nice, the staffer that brought the table up helped roll it into the room, presentation was nice, she said she and one other person out it together. She had me sign the receipt and I added a good tip, despite the fact they tack on 20% in service and delivery charges. My husband, holding a baby, held up some cash not realizing I already added a tip to the room receipt. I said "don't worry, I got it." The staffer then got really snappy and said "cash is preferred because this (points to receipt) gets pooled for 50-60 people, and that (points to cash) just goes to the person who worked on the order." She then has the audacity to hand me a blank copy of the receipt and a pen, in an effort to get the cash tip instead. I thanked her and shut the door, completely speechless at her lack of manners. Overall - food poisoning and all the extra charges, plus the insanely rude staffer not worth it.
