    What a wonderful atmosphere and experience. The service was top notch and the food fantastic. Took the family here Friday night and the kids loved the vibe and food (chalkboards for the kids were such a nice touch). Can’t wait to go back!!

    Walked past this place for years and never noticed it....should have gone w initial instincts. If a place isn't noticed then there's usually a reason why. Server said they've been open for 3 years. I found them on Open Table and thought they were new. Nice inside but nothing fancy. Food was good but pricey. Menu was odd....a little Italian, a little Latin, a little Japanese... Service was very slow. Waitress gave us a piece of cake to share to apologize for her lack of attention (cake was horrible). I will not be returning. Overpriced for the quantity, service and ambiance. Food tasted good though. Leave ample time for parking and walking.

    What a great meal! Such wonderful value for money, though almost too much food. Service was great - would definitely come again if I was in town.

    Cappuccino was horrible but the food was great. Flickering lights gave me a headache but cute atmosphere.

    We have been going to Elli's since just about a month after it opened. We have NEVER been disappointed with any meal. Patrick, the owner, and his staff ALWAYS go out of their way to make sure everyone is treated in a special way. Over time we have come to be on a first name basis with he and many of his staff. Elli's serves a qualty meal, with more than adequate portions. Elli's is always clean and spotless, the service is impeccable, and it's ambiance is wonderful. There's something on the menu for everyone. Highly recommend!
