Had an amazing Blue Moon Supper Club experience Thursday, February 26. The unique menu for the once-a-month supper club was “Evening along the Crescent,” a New Orleans-inspired meal. Everything was phenomenal (besides lighting for my pictures). The Gumbo Z’ Herbs was my favorite dish, although the red beans and rice risotto were a close second.
Also got the wine pairings. The Jean-Marc Brocard chablis did a great job nulling the spice on the gumbo. The Las Jaras Big Beautiful Buff Lodi, California-grown albariño was a standout with the fatty boudin & red bean/rice. Isastegi Sagardo sparkling cider from 500-year-old cider house in the Basque region was a treat! The high acidity balanced the sweet bay scallops. The Montagu pinot was a lovely, full-bodied red that paired perfectly with the redfish. The bananas foster bread pudding was paired with an Old Fashioned-style cocktail made with Ron Zapaca, Velvet Falernum & banana liqueurs, and walnut bitters. Transported you to Brennan’s in NOLA indeed.
Memorable birthday dinner from Kobi & crew and excellent service by Eric & Garrett.

I’m honestly not sure where to begin. We left feeling shocked and disappointed, especially because my husband has been wanting to try this place for years. We love celebrating special occasions at fine dining restaurants in the area, and with so many glowing reviews, making a reservation felt like an easy choice.
Things started off a bit shaky. Our son ordered a lemonade, but it tasted off—more like Mountain Dew than lemonade. When we asked, our server explained that they only offer bottled lemonade and apologized for not mentioning it wasn’t fresh. Not a big deal on its own, so we moved on.
For our meal, we ordered a variety of dishes: the redfish, a 16oz ribeye, shrimp and grits, and elk tacos. Unfortunately, none of them landed for us. The fish was dry, the ribeye lacked flavor, and the shrimp and grits—usually one of my favorite dishes—were covered in queso in a way that really overwhelmed everything else. By the end, we were genuinely confused about how our experience lined up with the restaurant’s 4.9-star reputation.
I want to be clear that this is just our experience, and I know many people absolutely love this place. I’m not trying to discourage anyone from trying it for themselves. It just wasn’t the right fit for us, and my husband has been apologizing ever since. $230 I wish we could have back. I think I’ll be having some ice cream at home to reset my palate. Bummed.

Our evening at Bonnell’s in Fort Worth was memorable from start to finish. Bartender Dalton delivered some of the most surprising and thoughtful service we’ve ever experienced. After years of ordering martinis, we’d never had one served quite like this. Each martini arrived in a frosted glass, and just as the glass began to lose its chill, Dalton quietly swapped it for a freshly frosted one, keeping the drink perfectly cold and fresh throughout our pre-dinner drinks at the bar.
The food was elevated Texas comfort at its finest, starting with Texas oyster Rockefeller and fried quail legs, followed by entrees that included elk, bison, and filet, with indulgent sides of gooey smoky mac and cheese and perfectly prepared greens.
We were celebrating our mother’s birthday, which meant plenty of laughing, visiting, and sharing stories (not much attention paid to menus or timing). The staff graciously read the room, allowing us to enjoy one another while delivering seamless, attentive, and unobtrusive service. Bonnell’s struck the perfect balance of exceptional food, thoughtful hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it an evening we’ll happily remember and repeat.

A superb steak dinner experience. Perfectly cooked huge ribeye, with delicious sides to supplement the steak. Can’t ask for much more in a steak dinner in Texas and it lives up with a super quality cut. Dessert (tres leches creme brûlée) was spectacular as well.

We came here for the 1st time to celebrate our wedding anniversary..
Nilgai carpaccio had great flavor. The Hollandaise sauce on the Oysters Texasfeller was so good! We didn’t get pictures of the main courses because we were in the moment, but Elk is my husband’s new favorite meat after trying here for the 1st time. I had the mixed grill with bison, sausage and quail, fav was the bison. The chocolate truffles were very good and the creme brulee was the best I’ve ever had! Don’t pass up on the Elk, it was the star of the show! Waitress was great, didn’t get her name.

We went on a Friday evening during restaurant week. We had reservations and we were seated quickly. The ambience is a good date night place. The restaurant week menu was good. I got the tomato jalapeño soup that was outstanding. My wife and I split the pork chop and bbq salmon. Both were excellent. The mashed potatoes were outstanding. The peach cobbler for dessert was very good as well. We will go back!

Called last minute to ask if reservations were required and was told they are not but rather recommended. They made a reservation for us and had the table ready for us when we arrived. All within 15 minutes!
Sheila, our server, was amazing! She had great recommendations and provided the best service.
We had the Elk Back Strap, Buffalo, and they gave us dessert complimentary as we were celebrating our anniversary! The drinks we had were amazing, I don’t remember the names, and they aren’t listed on the website, but we were told it changes frequently.

Dined here last night for my birthday. I have been coming here off and on for about 15 years but haven’t been back in a while. Mox was our server. And the service, from the hostess on down was perfect.
The food was excellent. We started with the quail legs. I had the Buffalo tenderloin which was cooked perfectly medium Rare (the potatoes melted in your mouth and the asparagus was great too. My fiancée had the mixed grill. And we shared a side of the brisket Mac and cheese. And everything we had was delicious from the old fashioned, which was one of the best I’ve ever had, to the birthday truffles they surprised us with.
The brisket Mac and cheese came with house made pickles and they were amazing as well. My fiancée mentioned to the server that she loved them and asked if they sold them, he said sadly no, but when we were getting ready to leave he surprised her with a container of them to take home.
And to top it off, on our way home we received a phone call from the restaurant. I was thinking one of us had left a Wallet or something, but they called to ask if they could have my fiancée’s email address so they could send her the recipe for the house made pickles. It’s such a little thing but it’s such an amazing thing to do. I have loved Bonnell’s for a long time. From the first time I dined here when Chef Bonnell walked around and talked to every table.
I have recommended them to everyone I could. That being said, the last couple of special occasions I’ve had I’ve dined at another steakhouse on Main Street in Fort Worth and have been let down by them consistently. Coming back to this experience at Bonnell’s cemented that this is my absolute favorite place to dine in Fort Worth. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a special meal.

Allow me to elaborate – as a matter of fact, I did indeed visit your fine establishment and admire the many taxidermied animals, antler chandeliers, & various other decor strewn about. In particular, I enjoyed the wood duck portrait hung in the dining area. While me and my lovely wife did so enjoy the atmosphere, we were unimpressed by the quality of the meal. My steak was undercooked and likewise drenched in a sweet sauce that I was ill-informed of, and I did not think the quality of food was up to par with what I was paying for. I am a private, yet quite serious person when it comes to my culinary preferences and reviews. As such, my review reflects my honest opinion of your restaurant, Sir Bonnell. While we did appreciate your efforts of kind and honest labor in service, I believe you might also respect the sincerity of my disposition! Good day and thank you kindly.

Worth every penny. Very great flavor pairings. Excellent Appetizers. Great salads. Very tender cuts of meat. Both the filet and the elk were perfect. Service from Jaime was on point. Outstanding night. Thank you!
