There’s something special about spring in Fort Worth-the weather warms, the flowers bloom, and the city comes alive with energy and charm. Nowhere is that spirit more perfectly captured than at The Crescent Hotel, where elevated dining, curated cocktails, and open-air elegance make it the go-to destination for locals and travelers alike.
Whether you’re planning a spring getaway or looking for your next go-to patio brunch spot, here’s how to soak up the season in style-right inside The Crescent.
At the heart of The Crescent’s dining experience is Emilia’s, a sophisticated restaurant that draws inspiration from the coastlines of Europe while embracing seasonal Texas ingredients. The menu is both refined and approachable, perfect for everything from celebratory dinners to casual brunch with friends.
This spring, Emilia’s offers vibrant dishes that highlight fresh, local flavors-think crisp salads, seasonal vegetables, and light seafood plates paired with house made sauces and artisan breads. Whether you’re ordering a signature pasta or one of the chef’s rotating specials, the ingredients speak for themselves.
Warmer days call for leisurely mornings, and Emilia’s delivers one of the best brunch experiences in Fort Worth. Served in both the dining room and the hotel’s serene courtyard, brunch here is a celebration of bold flavors and laid-back luxury.
Favorites include elevated takes on classic dishes-like lemon ricotta pancakes, house-cured salmon on toast, and truffle egg scrambles-alongside mimosas, bloody marys, and spring-forward cocktails made with herbs and seasonal fruit.
Make it a tradition, or better yet, turn brunch into a weekend staycation at The Crescent.
As the sun sets and the courtyard lights begin to twinkle, The Crescent transforms into an evening oasis. Whether you’re seated at the bar inside Emilia’s or enjoying the outdoor courtyard lounge, spring is the perfect time to unwind with one of the hotel’s signature cocktails.
Sip on a lavender gin spritz, a Texas twist on the margarita, or a refreshing Aperol-based cocktail while enjoying live music or soft background beats. The bartenders at The Crescent pride themselves on creating drinks that are not only seasonal and beautiful, but also deeply flavorful and original.

The Crescent Courtyard is more than a setting-it’s a mood. Surrounded by stylish architecture, greenery, and soft lighting, it’s a place to linger, laugh, and enjoy spring’s best moments. Whether you’re catching up with friends, dining under the stars, or enjoying a quiet solo drink, the courtyard creates a sense of relaxed luxury that’s hard to find anywhere else in Fort Worth.
It’s also a popular space for hotel events, seasonal activations, and private celebrations-so keep an eye on the event calendar or inquire about hosting your own spring soirée.
Of course, the best way to fully experience The Crescent’s spring vibes is to stay the night. With plush guest rooms, spa-style bathrooms, and access to the Canyon Ranch Wellness Club + Spa, your dining experience can easily turn into a full weekend of rest, indulgence, and inspiration.
After all, why rush home when you can end the evening with a nightcap in your robe and wake up to morning sunlight streaming through your luxury suite?
