   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.

   Enjoyed the open kitchen format and overall ambiance. Wasn’t blown away some of our dishes, would definitely pass on the salmon crudo.

   Great experience - outstanding and attentive service, delicious food, prepared perfectly. Probably some of the best cocktails we've had in the recent past.

   Our experience was mixed. The food we had was largely good, and the drinks were excellent, however with a 645 pm reservation on a weekend we were surprised that the cod was switched out to a different protein, the ravioli and the dips had run out. No mention of this anywhere, and surprisingly no mention of this by our server until we requested those specific foods. That's despite the server coming by our table twice before our actual food order. No apologies, no explanations. And in fact our server was aware that half our party didn't eat beef which further limited their choices. The vibe and pricing reflect a high-end/fine dining restaurant, however the service and availability of menu items didn't reflect the same quality.

   Recommend sitting at the bar so you can witness excellent chefs and cooks work with fire! Food was fantastic, and service was professional and friendly. We did the tasting menu, and although the pacing was a bit slower than I’d like, the great food and live cooking made up for it. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful food and service. I hated arriving a little late for the last seating, but our server made us feel welcome and we had a wonderful time! Looking forward to heading back for a more leisurely experience!
