    Great food and great service. Wanted to take my wife somewhere nice for her birthday. This was a great choice. The restaurant uses local ingredients on all their dishes, and boy that makes a difference! I went with the seared duck and my wife went with the Veal Milanese. The wait staff was awesome and they able to answer all my questions about where they get their local ingredients. The appetizers were also great and the dessert was amazing. You have to try the bread pudding! I want to try everything on that menu but the items change regularly due to the local ingredients being available. Can't wait to go back!

    I really wanted to like it. The concept is good. Farm to table was a real draw for me. Unfortunately, I found the food bland (except the drum fish but I got a bone on my first bite.) The duck breast could have been great but it wasn't. We all wanted a crispy skin and more tenderness. The pecan wood steak was of a grocery store quality which is edible but needed at least some salt. The fresh vegetables however took center stage. I do wish the brussels were roasted but they were not bitter. Some sand in the asparagus but still good. Yes the bread pudding is a winner. A glass of house cab is 20.00. (They never brought the second glass i requested.) Not the best either. It was served cold, like fridge? Probably not going back.

    We were celebrating our 37th anniversary and wanted a special place to celebrate. Ellerbe certainly delivered! The appetizers are individually sized and the curry shrimp had a great balance of seafood to curry. The curry did not overpower at all. Both of our seafood entrees were very well done. The chef certainly takes great care to source local and fresh ingredients. The bread pudding may ascend to my #1 spot as I search on personal and business travel to find the best representation. Our waiter was Ian, and he clearly articulated the menu and wine choices. The wine list is extensive, and anyone can find something in their budget, whether by the glass or bottle. Valet parking is free and Greg serviced us well. We tipped well as that is how he is paid. Street park this free if you can find it on busy Magnolia.

    Fantastic service, as all the other reviews mention. Unfortunately, the food is not on par with the service, ambiance or the prices. If you only have five items on the menu, make them the best. The soup was bland, and the main dishes (pork chop and tenderloin) were boring. Why do you serve a $55 tenderloin sliced? I enjoy eating my steak at my own pace; this made me feel like I had to eat it fast as it cooled down quickly. Additionally, I couldn't cut it properly. The slices are thinner than I like, resulting in loss of flavor from small crust to meat proportion per bite. The “dumplings” with the pork chop are sliced cooked potatoes and leave a lot to desire. We had to chug the rest of our wine as we watched the ice cream melt on the not-so-famous bread pudding after asking for it not to be brought out until after we finished our wine. It's not that the dessert was terrible; I can imagine really enjoying it, especially after not just gulping down an entire glass of Napa Cab at $150 a bottle. I'm sure some meals are excellent and some evenings are memorable. Ours was, just not for the best of reasons. We won't recommend or be back. On a positive note, we won't tell people not to try it when asked. They may get luckier than we did, and I'm sure it's worth it when that happens! All these positive reviews don't produce themselves, right!

    The food was excellent, the atmosphere was charming and the service was some of the best my wife and I can remember. Lety was very insightful and made excellent recommendations. We cannot wait to come back and try new things.

    This was our second visit to Ellerbe. I love the change in menu for the seasons. Our waiter brought us great wine and we couldn’t stop eating, it was so delicious! We had the quail, the squash salad, and the venison - they were all cooked perfectly and the salad is my new favorite! We also had the bread pudding and plum ice cream which were delicious. Such a fun place to go for special occasions. It is a little pricy but well worth it.

    The food and atmosphere were good. Food is more on the high end, and it's a place you might want to dress up for. Maybe business casual, or a nice summer dress.

    Farm to table restaurant- We enjoyed our dinner at this corner place restaurant. Good options of food. The staff are very attentive and explained what’s on the menu. A good place for celebration, date, or special occasion. No loud noises or distraction. (To the owner, yes you can use the photos to social media)

    Atmosphere was stunning. Food left something to be desired but was clearly of high quality.

    I had the pork chop and, while the sauce was flavorful, it was a bit tough and dry. I ordered a soup to start off though it never arrived. Still, the service was good. I was hoping to be wow'ed but not so. The rest of the table was happy with their meals - from salmon to a child's grilled cheese.

    We came into the pre-fixe Valentine's Day menu with high expectations based on glowing reviews, and we love the farm-to-table concept. Unfortunately nothing stood out - very standard dishes and the execution was good but not great. The savory courses were pleasant but on the bland side and we found the dessert overpoweringly sweet. Given that they charged $105 per person for an appetizer, main, and shared dessert, the quality should have been exceptional and not just solid. Service was friendly and high quality and the atmosphere was very nice. The rose for every couple provided at the end of the meal was an extremely nice touch.

    Delicious! We had such a great experience here. The food is farm to table and all was fresh and prepared in unique and tasty ways. The menu changes from season to season, so we'll definitely be back for more of a winter-type menu. Atmosphere was dreamy, and it was decorated beautifully. This is such a great date night spot!! We will definitely be back!

    Just a great dining experience. Lively bistro on West Magnolia. Quail, Redfish, high quality Steak, unique appetizers (pulverized cauliflower soup was rich and delicious) all excellent. I liked the relatively limited menu because what they serve their focus for the day. 6-8 appetizers, 8-10 mains, extensive wine list. Very fine dining for Fort Worth. Let the valet do your parking for you. Parking Lots abound but it's not clear when or where you'd get towed.

    Went for New Year and they had a special menu. Wasn't aware of the prix of it menu but still had an enjoyable dinner. Everything was fresh and delicious. Pricey but we'll be back to try the normal menu.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurants. Small but not cramped. I enjoy that the tables aren't crammed together and easy to have a conversation at the table. We went for Valentines and enjoyed the dinner. The Eggs Benedict salad was unique and delicious. My date had the Delmonico style steak and it was delicious. I had the monkfish. It was my first time and I loved it. Delicious! We had a shared dessert, Baked Alaska. This was the best, or one of, the best desserts I've ever eaten. It got better with every bite. I enjoy the atmosphere and the service is always great. I look forward to my next visit.

    In my opinion, the Brunch menu for Mother's Day was a little small. But what I got from the Brunch menu was some of the best taking things I've had. The servers are very professional and easy to talk to. I've been here before, and every time I've been, it's always been very good.

  • 4/5 J Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is delicious. We had the chicken and the trout. Both were full of flavor and I would order again. The wines by the glass wasn't so good. I had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc which was terrible, followed by a Chablis that was worse. It's no wonder why the restaurant does not allow a small samples.

  • 5/5 Carleigh T. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh my goodness this place is so wonderful! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary tonight and this was the perfect spot. Very sweet and charming place. We had the quail which was delicious! Our waiter, Scott made it such a lovely night and was so wonderful. Can’t say enough good things.

  • 5/5 Deborah Kay R. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was excellent. Service, wine, melon salad, bread, okra, lamb shank, and even biscochito cookies as a small dessert. So fresh and delicious. Go there any day you want to make more special.

  • 5/5 Erica 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and wine! Portions were perfect; we left full and satisfied. Peaceful, elegant atmosphere and amazing staff. We had complementary valet parking, literally 5 paces from the front door. Thank you, Ellerbe, for a wonderful Valentine's date night!

  • 4/5 Chuck K. 2 years ago on Google
    I've only eaten here twice. The first time was a couple months ago and it was exceptional. The dishes were very original and the presentation and service was top notch. There were 6of us and everyone agreed that it was one of the best restaurants we've ever eaten at. My second visit was this past weekend and I was a little disappointed with my main course, the tomahawk porkchop. It was overcooked and quite dry and though. The flavor was fine but it didn't live up to my expectations. I was halfway through the meal before I had a chance to tell the waiter. Having eaten half the meal I declined the offer for a new plate. My dinner partners had fish and steak entrees that were perfect. I'll still go back and I do recommend this restaurant. Their menu changes with the season.

    Atmosphere was very warm, inviting, upscale but cozy. Service was not bad but void of any personality, warmness or interaction. For this caliber of restaurant I do expect more. Food- everything was very good buy the steak was extremely chewy. Scallops melted in your mouth! Break pudding was very sweet but delicious. Beet salad was very good. Turkey gumbo didn't have much depth like you would find in New Orleans. Portions are slightly small for price. Bread lacked salt. The scallops were something else and I would go back for them and the cozy elegant decor.
