Ellerbe Fine Foods

We are so glad we found this gem of a restaurant. The food was top quality as well as the drinks and the manager's service was just outstanding. The bartender was awesome too! I had the best salmon I've ever had and the bread pudding was delicious! Can't wait to celebrate my birthday here.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure to dine at Ellerbe. It was evident that this establishment values both quality and hospitality. We began our evening with a delightful starter of grilled octopus and blistered shishito peppers—an off-menu recommendation from our exceptional server, Letty. Her enthusiasm and knowledge were unmatched; she guided us through the menu with warmth and confidence, painting such a vivid picture of the rack of lamb that we were nearly sold on the description alone. Letty’s service was nothing short of outstanding—gracious, attentive, and sincerely passionate about the dining experience. To accompany our meal, we enjoyed a bottle of Pinot Grigio that was pleasant, well-chilled, and complemented the richness of the food nicely. For the main course, I opted for the chef’s choice steak, which was a sirloin prepared to a perfect medium rare. While it was well-executed and flavorful, I would rate it a modest four stars—very good, though I’ve had more memorable cuts elsewhere. My wife chose the rack of lamb, which she thoroughly enjoyed and would happily order again. To conclude our meal, we shared the restaurant’s famous bread pudding, and I must say—it truly lived up to its reputation. Rich, comforting, and beautifully presented, it was the highlight of the evening. In summary, Elerbe offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, elevated by impeccable service and thoughtfully prepared cuisine. While the food earns a solid four stars in my opinion, the service—especially by Letty—deserves a full five stars. A wonderful evening overall.

We started with the croquette - it was crispy and light and the perfect start to the meal. Then we had the beet salad and I can’t put into words how delicious it was - my favorite part of the meal. I had the salmon and it was juicy, crispy, tangy, and honestly perfect. My husband had the risotto and said it was fantastic - rich, savory, and salty. And the bread pudding - I have never had better bread pudding in my life.

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!

What a lovely place to eat in Fort Worth! The decor, the food and the staff were very accommodating including the valet attendant. Love all the natural light coming through the windows and would make a perfect bridal shower spot as well as a classy date night. Food was excellent! Portions were not big , but were excellent!

Great evening celebrating a friend’s birthday. I had the steak and my wife had braised pork shank. For dessert we split the Bread Pudding. Usually my wife is not interested in Bread Pudding. This one, she did more than her share of eating! Service was very good. Would recommend for a nice occasion or celebration!

An excellent experience. Mante (sorry for the spelling) was our waiter who provided excellent and enthusiastic advice, especially given a menu that changes seasonally. We started off with the Fir Coat and Riff Ram Bah Zoo for drinks, both of which were amazing. We had the gumbo and the mussels fromage as appetizers. The mussels were the best I've ever had, with a cream and white wine sauce I could have eaten by itself. The blue cheese complimented the sauce well even for members of the party who generally don't like blue cheese. This was definitely one for two highlights of the meal for me. The gumbo was fine, but I was a little disappointed with it. The flavor was not terrible, but it was relatively bland, and I would have liked some spiciness. I also would have been happier with more andouille sausage and less turkey which just felt stringy. I would not order this again. We followed this up with the risotto and redfish with added shrimp. The risotto was outstanding. It had a perfect blend of flavors including pesto and lemon with perfect texture. The manchego cheese topping on top of fennel made it looks almost like a Christmas tree with snow on it. I could have eaten this endlessly. The redfish was also very good with a perfect crust. The sauce was tangy and slightly sweet. I felt the redfish was overshadowed somewhat by the shrimp and collard greens which were the best parts of this entree. However the redfish mixed well with the greens and sauce. We ended with the bread pudding with added restaurant-made praline ice cream. The bread pudding was incredible. The outer layer was slightly crispy with perfectly soft and doughy interior. The sauce it came with was excellent as well. Unfortunately the praline ice cream tasted more like vanilla ice cream and was extremely icy. The bread pudding would have been better off plain. The whole experience was great despite a few things that could be improved. We would love to come back.
