Dee Lincoln and Adam Jones have partnered for good restaurants before.
They might do it again for a Dee Lincoln's Tasting Room and Bubble Bar in downtown Fort Worth.
The first Tasting Room wine bar opened last year at Cowboys Stadium. It's Lincoln's new concept since she left Del Frisco's steakhouses, which she co-founded.
She wants to open new Tasting Rooms in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth -- where former steakhouse sidekick Jones now owns Grace restaurant.
"I told Mayor [ Mike] Moncrief to find me a little jewel of a place in Fort Worth, and he's got ideas," Lincoln said this week.
She said Jones has done a "great job" at Grace, and she'll be visiting Monday for a Stock Show officials' dinner.
Whatever they plan would be in addition to Grace, Jones and Lincoln said.
"Dee loves the idea of a wine-room concept," Jones said.
Lincoln is also opening a Lewisville Lake restaurant, Dinghy Bar & Grill, next month at Pier 121 Marina.
Jones' Grace is coming up on its second Mother's Day brunch, the only Sunday that Grace opens.
Grace now opens Fridays for lunch; 777 Main St., 817-877-3388, gracefortworth.com.
Bailey's Prime Plus , the new steakhouse in the West Seventh shops, is now open for lunch, too.
The weekday menu offers salads, grilled fish and steaks for about $15 to $20.
It'll also open for lunch Mother's Day; 2901 Crockett St., 817-870-1100, www.baileysprimeplus.com.
Other restaurants opening or serving a special Mother's Day menu include Del Frisco's, Eddie V's, Ellerbe Fine Foods, LightCatcher Winery, Silver Fox and Simply Fondue.

Rumors ran amok about a new taco diner in downtown Fort Worth. But it didn't turn out to be Taco Diner.
Rio's Burgers & Tacos, a casual grill, will open at 911 Houston St.
The confusion came because -- aw, it's a long story. But Rio's belongs to friends of Chop House owner Zach Moutaouakil, who bought Chop House from Dallas-based MCrowd, which owns Taco Diner.
Buffalo Gap Steakhouse & Cantina is a hit in Granbury.
Diners waited two hours last weekend to try the newest restaurant from Fuzzy's/Pedro's Trailer Park co-founder Paul Willis.
I'd stick to the steaks, burgers and Tex-Mex. Willis' chicken-and-waffles appetizer is interesting. But a tilapia-on-iceberg-lettuce salad wasn't a good idea.
Willis promises a Sunday gospel-singing brunch soon; 1470 U.S. 377 E., Granbury, 817-573-4472, www.buffalogapsteakhouse.com.
