    We went for weekend brunch and Eleven did not disappoint! Buffet food can often be just okay given that it is mass produced and sitting on the food line for a long time. However, the buffet food at Eleven was done in small batches so everything was fresh and tasty! The brunch cocktails were very delicious as well (would've hoped for a cheap or bottomless mimosas option though 😜). But overall really good value for what you get. Would highly recommend!

    Perfectly seasoned and delicious food! We actually enjoyed it more than the Kahala location. Will be back on another Friday night to catch the fireworks again. Great night!

    Fantastic experience! Daniel the host took great care of us when we ended up coming late from North Shore. Garret, our server was very attentive, and even grabbed us our parking validation when he gave us our check. Great service and even better food! The miso on the salmon is out of this world! Maybe a little too much kale with the ahi haha! Overall fantastic experience!

    What a gem of a place! Came here for our Valentine's Day Lunch. Ambiance: Feels like you stepped back in time, velvet covered seating, cozy nooks, art deco fixtures and decor. Service: Friendly, welcoming, attentive, helpful, expeditious. Food/Drinks: Everything we tried was delicious, fresh, homemade and different in a good way! We tried the Devils on Horseback, Bao Buns, Tagliatelle Carbonara (fresh pasta) and the Fish & Chips. For dessert we had the Ice Cream Sandwich, for today it was chocolate chip cookies and we chose vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between. Drink menu had many fun and creative choices, nice selection of spirits. Cleanliness: This is the cleanest restaurant I think I have ever been in! Tables are wiped with disposable disinfectant wipes then thrown away. Not the same rag that was used to wipe other tables and who knows what else and is never rinsed. There was no dust to the visible eye, fixtures, furniture, baseboards immaculately clean, no crumbs hiding under the booths, no dust collecting on the AC vents or high light fixtures. Bathrooms tidy and clean. Parking: Street metered parking or with a short walk you can park in a public parking garage or lot. Overall, a wonderful experience! Will definitely be going back to try other menu items!

    For the first time, I savored pizza in this ambiance. The light live music was an ideal accompaniment, and the musician effectively maintained the desired atmosphere. The servers were exceptionally dedicated, which I commend. Unfortunately, I was unable to recall their names, but I believe they were the managers. They possessed a well-groomed physique and exuded professionalism and competence in their restaurant management roles. If this is the Brazil or Portugal experience , than I’m moving there, “LOL,” it was that good! .
