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.
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.
Just found out that Bonnells is open again. I rescheduled for my birthday dinner that was cancelled on me when they closed for Covid again. I had the Bass, lightly accompanied by a gentle herb sauce, baby carrots and instead of risotto they allowed me to have the sautéed oyster mushrooms. It worked out perfectly and allowed me to have enough room for their famous buttermilk pie! My late wife Bobbe and I had that once before and it was a great finish to a great meal. I forgot to include the appetizer of cute little crab cakes with an aioli laying in a small bed of fresh greens. Done to perfection! The candle in front of the empty chair is my honoring late wife Bobbe who loved Bonnells as well. Her last photo was out 25th. Wedding anniversary last May of 2021. That's her holding up a toast of wine.
Staff were very attentive. Our server, Brenda was very sweet, kind, and attentive. Kudos to host, bartender for ensuring I had a comfortable wheelchair space for seating in the bar area of the restaurant when we came in. Very accommodating..
The only real negatives would be:
▪︎ Only 1 handicap ♿️ parking is available, and I need van access always, so we had to park in an adjacent lot since the only spot avail. was taken.
▪︎ need more dairy-free desert options other than 1 sorbet
▪︎SHARPEN YOUR STEAK KNIVES!!! DULL! 😂
▪︎ the lighting seems to be a constant complaint. Ambiance is great, but when it's too dark to see the menu, you need to hand out flashlights or turn the lights up a bit more 😆
Overall, WE LOVE this place and will be back to try more of the menu & eat more Elk backstrap!
