Elize was, as it always has been, excellent. Unfortunately that was the last night of operation. They are a victim of the pandemic. I am thankful that they existed in Orlando and it is a shame they weren't able to survive.

It was a date during the protest and the pandemic, so the restaurant was quiet. Everything was terrific though. The restaurant feels great. It’s nice enough to be dressy or more casual. The bartender and server were friendly and helpful, and most importantly the food was fresh and tasty. We were especially pleased with how good the raw oysters were. One of the best restaurants in Orlando. It’s definitely going to be one of our regular places to eat downtown.

We both did the chef's tasting menu and were very happy with the food and quantity. Our entree choices were hangar steak and shrimp. Loved the chick pea soup and deviled egg starter as well as the burata and tomato and salmon tartar seconds.

One of the best meals we've had in a very long time. Food is excellent. Front of house could use some more training in describing the food, wines, pairings, etc... But they were prompt and attentive.

Great ambiance, amazing new design and decor for the new restaurant. Menu was very different and items you don't typically see. The portion was a bit disproportionate. My wife and I decided to visit this restaurant before a show at Dr. Phillips and ordered the bread board which was fantastic, but then ordered an "upside down pizza" which was great but wasn't sure I would have called it a pizza, and then had Raviolo and a fish of the day for our entree's. One entree was the small portion and the other was the larger portion, yet both came in the same size dish. The food was excellent, but the portions just seemed off. Definitely would recommend but just wonder about their portions.

Wow! What a lovely meal. First time dining at Elize and certainly the beginning of many more meals to come. First off the staff is very friendly and welcoming from the first hello to the last thank you. Service was efficient and helpful - immediately fixing a rocking table and patiently explaining some of the preparations. The food was delicious - allowing us to enjoy the unique and satisfying dishes of the Netherlands we remember from our travels there. The best part is that they come in full or half portions so you can try several offerings. The food is simple yet full of flavor - both subtle and complex . The oysters were fresh, cold, and served with the perfect mignonette. The boiled zucchini salad was refreshing with the caramelized onions, fennel and dill yogurt. The black cod had a golden brown crisped skin and served over a buttery orzo with a fennel slaw. A great balance of flavors and textures. The roasted chicken also had a golden and crispy skin embracing juicy succulent meat with charred tender brussel sprouts, heirloom carrots and mustard seeds sauce. The fresh strawberry with basil ice cream was the perfect ending - and clearly embodied the simple yet precise philosophy of the food here. Elize is a great addition to downtown Orlando, one of the few restaurants doing everything well and is not be missed.

This was our first visit to Elize for my wife and I since it replaced one of our favorite spots the Rusty Spoon. We were impressed with the updated decor but the abundance of hard surfaces makes for a somewhat noisy atmosphere. Plus the front door being left open on a cool evening made it a bit cold and drafty at our table. So much for ambiance; we were served by an outstanding server Nathan who recognized us from his former employer the now-closed K Restaurant. I had checked out the menus earlier online was hoping they would serve the burger from the lunch menu for dinner in hopes it was as good as the “55 Burger” of the former Rusty Spoon. My experience is restaurants will do this at least for the burger but not Elize. Unfazed, I ordered the 12 Vegetable Salad and Beef Carpaccio to share for starters. Both the Carpaccio and the innovative lettuce-less Vegetable Salad were exceptional. For the main course I had the Beef Cheeks and my wife the Hanger Steak. I loved the Beef Cheeks and rated it 5 stars. Unfortunately, my wife gave only 3 stars to the Hanger Steak due to being served rare- not the ordered medium rare- and somewhat lacking in taste- and lacking any of the spinach accompaniment promised on the menu. (My wife did not send her undercooked steak back as our practice is to never send food back to the kitchen.) Despite our uneven experience, Elize shows promise and we will return soon.
