Elle was created with the intention to pay homage to all that is maternal, womanly and goddess-like in each of our lives, past present and future. Elle is a universal interchangeable word that simply means "her". We created this space to acknowledge that through food and great company. Our Chef has created our menu with this in mind, as well as selecting and using only the freshest and brightest ingredients for his dishes. Everything is from scratch, and more importantly, made with love. We are thrilled to have you experience Elle. There is always room for one more at our table!

Professional restauranters are running this restaurant. This is old school service. Front end staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. Managers are attentive. Bartender is a pro. Our apps (we had 4 I'm embarrassed to admit) were excellent. The crab app and the mushroom gnocchi app (available in bar) were outstanding. My entre (grouper) was very salty but I will give that a pass because everything else was excellent. If you are seeking an old school fine dining experience with knowledgeable and personable wait staff in Cleveland, it is basically down to Johnny's on Fulton and Blue Point. I put this place on a level with several first rate restaurants in Manhattan and Washington D.C.
