Business Description from the Web
In this warm, hacienda-style space, chef Lanny Lancarte, a Fort Worth native, prepares his alta cocina mexicana, which in this case translates to fusion cuisine.

Lanny's original monthly menu features fresh Mediterranean cuisine made of authentic Mexican ingredients. Latin music, soft lighting, and an awarding winning wine selection will only enhance your meal.

To finish of the meal they serve truffles and strawberries with chocolate...
