Food is outstanding. The patio creates a wonderful ambiance. The service is second to none. Our waiter, Nathan, is knowledgeable with a great personality. We look forward to seeing him again and dining at Elle regularly.

We were blown away by finding a new restaurant that had outstanding flavors to every dish we had. Granted, we ate mostly off the early bird menu, but every dish we had was flavorful, hot and well portioned. Calamari was rings and bodies with peppers and a light cream. Brussel sprouts were crispy and flavorful with pancetta. Burgers were done to perfection, juicy and the fries were tasty. Creme brûlée was small but delicious. Drinks were large.

Great dinner and experience. When we told the owner we were cold at our table, he turned off the fan which was a great solution. He listened to us and made a difference in our evening. Great calamari, drinks, food. We will recommend the restaurant and come back.

This restaurant has a very cute interior. The service was good and we received our food quickly. I really wanted to like it as menu items sounded delish. Unfortunately they did not hit the mark. We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, bread plate, burrata and eggplant fritters. The linguini Pomodoro and Margherita flatbread. The bread plate which comes with two spreads was decent as was the flatbread. The crispy Brussels were not crispy, they were dry and somewhat burnt. Seemed like it was missing a sauce. They also had chestnuts in them which were mushy and just an odd pairing. The eggplant fritters tasted nothing like eggplant. In fact I’m not sure how eggplant was in there, they just seemed like fried balls of mush. The burrata resembled cottage cheese, as it was curdled and had liquid surrounding it and it had no taste. The grilled flatbread was more burnt then grilled and the supposed crostini appeared to be leftover burnt toast. All of these dishes lacked flavor and really had no taste. As for the linguini, it did have taste however it was an overpowering sugar taste. Just not good. We did have some cocktails which were wonderful but all in all the food was just not good.

I’ve been to Elle several times with my husband, friends, and family. Elle never disappoints. The food and service are always excellent and the menu has something for everyone. We never feel rushed. We always leave full and happy! If you’ve never tried Elle, you are missing something special.

Our server, Caitlin, was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food. We loved the drinks we had. The brussel sprouts appetizer bode well for the rest of the meal when all flavor profiles were evident. My boyfriend got the swordfish and I got the scallops. They were both delicious. The cold bean salad on his was a surprise in flavor. The crispness of my scallops and freshness of the peashoots I would have previously pushed aside as a garnish were the highlight of mine. The chocolate pot de creme was amazing for dessert. Not too sweet, but silky and rich. We will definitely be back to try the bibb salad, the pork chop, and the short rib.

What a gem. My wife and I don’t go out to dinner much - mainly because of kids and being frugal - but we’ve found that either service was spotty, food wasn’t worth the price or the ambiance was lacking. Elle was awesome in all aspects. While the outside of the building is unassuming, the inside is trendy but quaint. We ate on the early side, 6pm and were one of four others groups that were there but by 7pm it was getting full. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive, very nice and checked in often but not too much. The background music selection was current “hits” but not too loud and overpower that you couldn’t have a conversation. We the food was fantastic, from the appetizer to the entrees. We thought everything tasted great. Definitely try any of their cocktails. We ordered a few of them to try them out and each once was unique and very good. Overall we couldn’t have been happier with everything and it made for a wonderful evening without the kids. I’ve read some of the negative reviews and don’t understand them. This place is wonderful.

Ambiance, service and food were outstanding. In our party of 4 we had the Brussels sprouts, Caesar salad, salmon, short ribs and fries. I’d order it all again but will definitely want to try other menu items next time. The staff made the evening so much fun. The patio looked lovely although we sat inside. We will be back!
