    It was intended to be a special birthday dinner for my best friend. We ordered and then waited at our table almost two hours later still no food.!! All tables around us had been served and were having desert or had left. We finally asked for our check. They comped us our drinks and we left. The restaurant gave no explanation as to what had happened. I think our server forgot to place our order. Obviously dissatisfied and embarrassed. I was hoping to show my friend a fun evening for her birthday.

    Great spot for a quiet evening and especially if you enjoy a good show of how a kitchen operates. As the crew cooks right in front of you at the bar. Great ambiance and the staff was so nice. However, the food was a bit charred, salmon served skin side up, and proportions to dollar wasn’t that great. Not saying it was bad. But it’ll be a while before I return.

    Great experience but smaller portion sizes. I do think the food is a bit on the pricier high end side.  the dip with the table bread was really good. But some of the pieces of bread were super burnt and not really edible. I understand that the goal is to give the food a nice char, but some parts were definitely burnt. We tried the black cod, which was really delicious. The bitter salad was a little bit too bitter for me. I do wish they had more meat selections. Overall, a 7/10 experience

    We got the chef’s menu and loved the variety, creativity and yumminess of everything served. We also loved our server who was attentive, fun, and generous. The hostess was so lovely and welcoming and helpful. It was a fantastic date night!

    We had the Chef's menu with wine pairings and it was very good. Our first wine came before our cocktails, however!

    Everything we had was excellent!! Two things stood out, the bread selection was fantastic. The other was the service, perfectly timed and friendly.

    We had a wonderful evening at ELDR! We sat at the counter which was such a cool experience. Everything we ordered was delicious and while we did have to wait a while to be seated, they were quick to apologize and the service the rest of the evening was spot on, very professional and friendly. This is a perfect spot for a special occasion or date night!

    Because we're close I've been here 4 times now. The first three experiences were in the first 2 weeks of the restaurant and were just delicious. Creative, well-prepared, fire grilled goodness. This most recent experience we both had the chef's tasting menu, and I had the wine pairing. The cooking level was just off throughout (over cooked proteins, the "dessert" was just a mess), but more importantly almost half the plates were completely missing elements described in the menu. There were no breadcrumbs on the oysters, no nuts with the dessert (which was a roasted pear (listed as apple on the menu), with a bit of crème). There were a couple other omissions too, including missing elements in the salad. Our reservation wasn't even at the end of the nights service, so I have no idea how so many fairly basic things were out. None of these were mentioned by our server. They admitted to the breadcrumbs after I asked and we heard about the dessert substitution from the next table, but otherwise they were placed without comment. Plates are relatively simple anyway, so missing one of the three parts of them made for a pretty uninspired signature menu. Because I've had such a good meal before, I'll definitely try again, but really hope this was just a really night with overstretched service rather than a quick decline in a really promising restaurant.
