American F+B, a contemporary, upscale bar and grill specializing in the sourcing and in-house production of artisanal and seasonal ingredients, is joining the culinary mix in the booming West 7th development in near downtown Fort Worth.
Dallas-based Consilient Restaurants LP announced the opening on May 30.
Consilient will open the 6,215-square-foot restaurant on the corner of Crockett and Currie streets.
The menu and kitchen for American F+B will be developed and overseen by Warren Schwartz, who recently moved to Fort Worth from Los Angeles where he previously helmed the kitchen at Westside Tavern.
American F+B is slated to open in early 2013 and will provide seating for about 200.
“We’re thoroughly excited about creating American F+B at West 7th and building on the success of Fireside Pies there,” said Tristan Simon, founder and chief executive officer of Consilient Restaurants. “We think it will be the most compelling restaurant that Consilient has produced to date.”
The team of Michael Miller and Carey Shagets of SRS Real Estate Partners and Rodger Chieffalo of Chieffalo Realty represented the landlord, while Mark Masinter of Open Realty represented Consilient Restaurants throughout lease negotiations.
West 7th is a strategic blend of pedestrian-friendly urban elements positioned in a mixed-use community offering retail, entertainment, office and residential. The 13-acre development is located on Seventh Street and University Drive near the Fort Worth business and cultural districts. Its retail and office components are being developed by a Cypress Equities company and the residential component by Columbus Realty Partners LTD.
