The setting is beautiful. Food and service were good, with two exceptions: Friend's eggplant Parm was not as hot as it should have been, and I would have liked additional nondairy options. I opted for pasta because it is dairy-free, but I would have loved to have ordered the eggplant if, for example, it could have been made with plant-based cheese. Consider, perhaps, adding a few more options for those of who can't eat dairy?

Excellent service. Especially when you go to a restaurant nowadays and they’re always short staffed. Short rib was very good. Pasta was good too. Specialty drinks were just OK

Good food, good service. However it was very noisy. Perhaps they need to investigate using sound deadening materials/ coatings on the walls and ceiling. Would have liked to see one or two more vegetarian options. Overall a very good dining experience.

We enjoyed our dinner at Elle. The food was delicious and their cocktails were even better! My only complaint was that the service was incredibly slow, even though the bar and dining area were only about 60% full. Everyone was perfectly pleasant and welcoming, but we had to wait a long time to order and were often waiting on drinks. We would’ve had more of their tasty, unique cocktails, but it just took so darn long to order and get them. Would visit again and would be hopeful that the pace of service picks up.

We had a lovely time at Elle. Our server Steve was friendly and knowledgable, as was the rest of the staff. The ambiance was cozy and the food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and varied. Shout-out to the ravioli special, which featured a sauce which I will be dreaming about for years. Can't wait to come back!

Four of us dined on a Saturday evening. The service was excellent from beginning to end. Being a “from scratch” restaurant, we liked the vibe and eclectic feel. Drinks were great, but a bit pricier than most 4*restaurants. Caesar Salads were excellent. We each had different entrees- the pasta bolognese, eggplant, lemon chicken and the salmon. Each was wonderful and prepared to perfection. Only thing we did not care for was either of the bread plates. Nothing original or tasty and was cold. A fantastic restaurant such as this should have superb bread! Worth the trip there… We will be back!

Food was delicious, tho a bit disappointed that the Bolognaise did not have any tomato sauce. Octopus appetizer not worth the money- very little octopus; on the other hand, calamari portion was very generous.

We have dined at Elle many times and it is consistently excellent in terms of the food, the service, the wonderful people who work there and the cleanliness and attractiveness of the entire restaurant. You can feel the culture of genuine kindness and caring from the owners and all who work there. My wife and I are always amazed at the exceptional flavors, perfect balance, and quality of the Chef's food. Chef Capuozzo is a special talent and his entire team is talented. From the moment you arrive until the time you leave; you feel cared for and of course beyond satisfied with the overall experience. It is a special place.

We found Elle through Open Table, we were looking for a place to eat and booked it while we were driving. It ended up being a perfect choice. From the greeting when we walked in, to the vanilla cheesecake at the end, everything was great! Definitely planning another night at Elle in the future.

Sat at bar. 3 bartenders chatting with each other the entire time. Or disappeared. Place wasn’t busy at all - maybe 4 tables? Had to flag someone down to get a drink. Then flag someone down to get an app. We planned to have dinner there but frankly I didn’t want to be my own waitress. Had to find hostess to get check so we could get out. Went to Cru after for dinner and my faith in mankind was restored. I think the holiday inn service is better than Elle. And the eggplant fritters? Remember hush puppies at long John silver?? I wonder what restaurant will go there when this place closes.

Short rib and mushroom cream soup were excellent. We were seated on time at 7 pm on a Saturday and they had run out of steak and beef dishes. Not sure why, the place was only half full. Caitlan did a great job and food was all delicious and served promptly. Would come back again
