    We'll absolutely be back! Ethel's Fancy completely exceeded our expectations!! We went there to celebrate our 21st anniversary. We chose Ethel's as the menu looked very innovative and it had great reviews (Thank you OpenTable patrons!). It did not disappoint. The food was incredible, service impeccable, and experience memorable. It was everything we wanted and more!

    The food was great! We ordered a lot of meals to share and we loved all of them. The James Beard Pancake is like sweet cake! The chicken sandwiches were fulfilling and the Breakfast sandwich was yummy. The brownie was scintillating! The service was great and attentive. Overall an A+ experience.

    It was the most amazing culinary experience!! Cannot thank the staff and chef Stan for the most memorable evening. A brief visit by the chef at our table was icing on the cake. Truly a talented executive chef… Must return soon!

    A really good neighborhood restaurant. Service was very attentive. Good bar. Great oysters. Terrific salad that we shared. And the fresh salmon was prepared perfectly. It was my husband's birthday so it is perfect for special occasions. But we will go back for a regular dinner soon.
