The Bonneville
6-Course Globally Inspired Dinner Event
With its appealing location (a serene dining room looking out on lovely Lady Bird Lake) and truly outstanding food that draws inspiration from all over the world, this popular restaurant offers everything you might want for a delightful dinner or brunch. The Bonneville is the creation of husband-and-wife team Jennifer Costello and Chris Hurley, who hail from Boston and who worked for some of the best restaurants in that food-conscious city, including Rialto, Oleana, Mistral, and The Blue Room. They have come to love Austin, and the feeling is totally mutual. The Austin Chronicle says, “Costello and Hurley are executing New American cuisine with a precision and deftness that puts them right at the top of their profession.” Lamb grilled pizza with eggplant puree, mint, lemon yogurt drizzle, and Manchego? Bacon-and-egg ravioli? Seared diver scallops with crispy scallion rice cakes and ruby red grapefruit nage? These are the kinds of dishes you can expect to find at The Bonneville. We will be taking over the restaurant for this event, and Chefs Costello and Hurley will both be coming out of the kitchen throughout the event to take our questions and share stories.
