finally a place for brunch in sherman!!. we have agreatnew restaurant in town for lunch and dinner! best of all is the wonderful brunch on sundays! a variety of dishes, including the best potatoes and eggs benedict!!! yum!! yum!!

we went to eat here last night for the first time and it was an excellent dining experience. we started with the risotto and mozzarella cheese balls which we actually didn't care for. reading back my review at this point is pretty hilarious, but it gets better i promise. someone brought bread to our table (rolls to be exact) but instead of just putting them on the table, the guy placed one each on our small plates, which i thought was odd. the rolls were really good though. my partner and oldest son ordered french onion soup which they loved. i pretty much only eat chicken and unfortunately they only had one chicken meal; chicken picatta, so i ordered that but subbed my asparagus for grilled zucchini and squash. my youngest son ordered chicken strips and french fries (even though we didn't see that on the menu), my oldest son and partner each ordered the grass fed filet with asparagus. the filets were cooked to perfection and very flavorful. the asparagus wasn't the best asparagus they've had but no biggie. my youngest son's chicken strips looked so good i tried them and so did my partner and wow, they are amazing!!! he loved his meal! my chicken picatta was good, but i wish the chicken had more flavor, would be good if it were grilled! my parmesan mashed potatoes were incredible! so, we had seen someone getting desserts and they bring a tray of them over for you to look at. we were told that they are all made in-house and they looked incredible. my sons decided to get the peanut butter ganache and split it. my partner decided on the chocolate cake and had it split so i could take half of it home. when they brought the desserts to us they brought the ganache to both of my boys and the plating was beautiful! but we thought they didn't split it, that they brought them each one, however, when we asked our waitress she said that was one piece split...the pieces were still big! my partner said the chocolate cake was out of this world. she had ordered a cup of coffee as well and she said it was reminiscent ofgreatcoffee house coffee. we loved the relaxing and peaceful environment, the friendly staff, and the wonderful 40's jazz style music playing. if i could change anything, i'd have more appetizers that don't include seafood or fish, and i'd have a couple other vegetarian or chicken dishes for people like me! would definitely recommend.

good downtown sherman food. if you are in old downtown sherman you will not find many eating establishments. this one had some good reviews on trip advisor , thus we chose this one for lunch. there is no restaurant parking, thus you must park on the street somewhere around the courthouse square which allows for three hours free parking. the restaurant is located on the second floor of an old building which may have been an antique mall at one time. there are several offices and small shops located within the building.

the stairs are not all thatgreatin getting to the second floor, so be careful. we were immediately seated, as there were only five customers in the entire dining room. our first impression---we may have made a mistake and can those trip advisor reviews be trusted?

we had a very nice waitress that explained the menu and the specials for the day. we opted for two menu items. the grilled salmon was served with mashed potatoes and stir-fried flesh vegetables. the salmon came out on a large plate with the potatoes and vegetables and was grilled just right. the flavor of the fish was accented by a seasoning placed on top. the stir fried fresh vegetables were actually zucchini, red and yellow peppers and squash. each vegetable had been cut into small one inch pieces and seasoned in a small amount of oil. the veggies were delicious, as were the mashed potatoes. they do not offer bread and a salad is extra, so we passed on that.

the other order was grilled shrimp, fresh vegetables and rice. the five grilled shrimp were small to medium in size however adequate for lunch. they were good, but probably not worth the $12.50 lunch meal charge. there was seasoning on the shrimp, which was very tasty. the rice was presented in a large “mound” and it was just rice. i would added some color to the rice, perhaps wild rice, etc., so the presentation would have looked better. the fresh veggies were excellent as they had a delicate seasoning and were stir fired in light oil. in fact some of the best stir fired fresh vegetables we have eaten.

the pricing for the five entrees ran about $12.50 each and those entrees come with absolutely nothing. we had water to drink and the glass was kept filled.

after about 15 minutes the restaurant begin to fill and by the time we left there were only two empty tables. the menu is rather limited for lunch and for a small town the prices are high. there was a special of the day, a stuffed hamburger, for $8.75. i did not see that many coming out of the kitchen . what i did see was a lot of salads which were being served on a large plate and with a lot of greens plus a topping such as salmon and this was actually priced at less than the entrée prices. i think the next time i will have one of those salads.

the waiter service was excellent. the restrooms are located on the third floor in a rather non-descript area that appears be for storage. they were not all that inviting and climbing that extra set of stairs was not that exciting.

there was dinner menu at the front door with a lot more entrees and the prices seem to be about double the lunch prices.

my wife and i tried fulbelli's for the first time last night. i'll be honest. we aren't used to dining so fancy, so we were a little uncomfortable at first. our server wasgreatand we started to relax. i had the chilean sea bass which was the special for the evening. it was fantastic! my wife had the pan seared duck and she said it was great. we will definitely be coming back.

can't go wrong with fulbelli's. despite the funny name, this is an elegant, upscale restaurant withgreatfood,greatatmosphere,greatpeople andgreatowners. the chef is also co-owner and he is very passionate, talented and creative. he loves his work and it shows in his food. i highly recommend you try fulbelli's......the nicest place to eat for 40 miles in all directions around sherman, tx.

nice dinner. went with some friends for a nice dinner. i was a little leary about going considering some of the reviews on urbanspoon, but our meals were delicious! they may have had a rough start, bit i think they are doinggreatnow! so glad we ventured out and tried it! we had a reservation, and started with cocktails in the piano bar lounge. that was nice to have before you all sit down. the atmosphere is nice and i thought the wait staff were all very helpful and professional. i had the pork osso bucco, which was delicious, a bit overwhelming in size, :) but everything about the meal was delicious! if you like slow roasted, falling of the bone pork you will like this choice. everyone else got fish dishes, and i tried the tuna, raw ,and it was good as well. we all enjoyed our meals and wine. i would definitely give this place a try for a nice dinner out, whether it is for a romantic evening or a nice get together with friends and family. the waiter and the owners were very nice and continued to check on us and provide us with anything we needed. i will be back! i recommend if you are looking for a nice dinner in texoma, try fulbelli's. it's a very welcome and much needed addition to have as an alternate to all the chain restaurants.

if you enjoygreatfood then come here. moving to texoma a couple years ago we had a hard time finding quality homemade food. most all the chains are warming up ben e keith stuff or crud made at and sent from corporate. with the owners vast professional seafood experience it shows in all their dishes and in the way they take care of their customers. we have never had a meal we didn't love and we take friends and family. understood that it is not for everyone, and it sure could be, as lunch is agreatoption too and a bit less expensive. locally owned and operated this is one of those businesses that is easy to support on a regular basis. vegetarian choices available also.greatfood,greatatmosphere andgreatservice-what's not to like!?!
