   After a wonderful meal and experience at Clay Pigeon a few months ago, we were really looking forward to returning. Quite a difference. Although the food was very good, the vibe was not the same. Perhaps Tuesday evenings are not a good time. The waiter was pleasant enough, but unlike the last time when all the staff made you feel special, this time one felt they were doing you a favor. Even though it was not busy, cocktails took a long time arriving and then we were informed that they were unable to make a caiparina. A request for some bread while awaiting the appetizers was largely ignored, being finally delivered with the appetizers. Even though we mentioned that we were celebrating two special occasions, nothing was done to acknowledge them beyond a candle on the desert. My two dishes - the mussels and the grilled octopus - were both delicious, although the salad with the octopus was ice cold, as if it had been just retrieved from the refrigerator.

   Janelle was amazing! Want to talk about a waitress that can make your whole evening amazing from beginning to end, she was perfect. The food was also incredible. I started with the western sour and the meat and cheese board. We had the octopus, watermelon salad, bone marrow, and Mac n cheese. Everything was incredible. Thank you so much

   Favorite in Fort Worth. Everything is amazing. Favorites are the bone marrow, beef tartar, and the ribeye - both the eye of ribeye and, my favorite, the spinalis - the most flavorful part of the ribeye. The spinalis is usually not on the menu. You have to ask. The seafood and scratchmade pastas are incredible too.

   This place has great atmosphere a fantastic wait staff and their mixologist behind the bar is outstanding. This was the third time my wife and I had dined in with the first two experiences being worthy of 5 stars. The only reason for my 3 star rating this time around is that we felt the food was not up to par with what one would expect for fine dining. My wife ordered the duck on a bed of succotash while I had the pasta of the day which had lobster. When the food came out my pasta was steaming hot like it had come right out of the boiling pot while my wife’s duck was luke warm. She found the duck texture a bit spongy which disappointed her and I found the pasta to be slightly undercooked after it cooled down. We decided to double down and see if a desert could redeem the lackluster entrees but the peach pastry that we settled on turned out to be the biggest disappointment as it tasted store bought. Mind you non of those complaints warranted the food being sent back as it was still tasty and I didn’t want to embarrass the wife on her birthday however I know from previous experience that the Clay Pigeon is capable of preparing better food. Maybe it was just an off night or they were letting a new sous chef fly solo but in comparison with other fine dining establishments like Bonnell’s the kitchen really needs to step up their game.

   Service was just fabulous, food was great. A little pricey for the menu selections but overall a good experience. probably would not be my first choice option again, but glad I was able to try it once.

   I really enjoyed the food and service. It is a nice simple atmosphere. My only complaint is wine by the glass was pricey enough that I only wanted 1 when I would normally hAve 2.

   Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. My wife and I were greeted with a glass of Champagne to celebrate our 22nd anniversary. We followed that up with the octopus and beef tartare appetizers. They were both on point, but the octopus was so tender and flavorful...truly exceptional. I had the duck and my wife enjoyed the pasta special. Once again, both were very well executed and presented. We polished it all off with a coffee and the hazelnut cake, yum! The server was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The Clay Pigeon should be on your short list the next time you're in or near Fort Worth.

    Want something that’s not your everyday menu? Try this. Not cheap. But worth it.
