    Kipling was our server this evening, and he was very enjoyable. He knew the menu well and was able to please all of us. I had ordered a ‘to go’ item and he brought it out at the right time. We will ask to sit in his area the next time we go. BTW, everything was delicious as always.

    The restaurant was nice. Unique. From the photos and menu we expected more of an “upscale” atmosphere. It was quite noisy. We made our reservations online and were given only 2 open times - 7:00 and 7:15 - yet when we arrived 2/3rds of the tables were empty. We had filet mignon and osso bucco. Filet cooked to order (medium rare) but drowning in gravy. Is so bucco was good, but also drowning in the sauce. Suggestion - supply small plate for guest to place the large bones of the meat. No bread? Okay, but a bet unusual for a restaurant if this nature.

    Drinks not refilled. Iced tea. Nachos were just not good. Large slices of red onion, long shredded lettuce. Chicken was chicken pieces, dry and tough. Grouper sandwich was ok but fries were not hot, dry and tasteless. A large party created lots of noise, but that happens. We won’t return. Just a mediocre place.

    We've eaten here many times but a few things stand out that are worth sharing. Twice when we've made a reservation, we were seated after patrons without a reservation because we had to wait for our table time (arriving at 6:38 for a 6:45 reservation)....Weird. The food is good (my husband loves it) but the wait staff get very annoyed when you request any customization. For example, I requested no tomatoes and add onions to my Bison burger. Didn't happen. This has happened with other dishes on other occasions, so not a one time thing. And do not ask for extra condiments, etc. I got an eye roll from the waitress instead! Overall, the food is good but the wait staff always seem stressed out, so for me, the food is not good enough to go back. The environment needs to be friendly and relaxing for me to enjoy a night out. This place is not friendly and relaxing (unless you order without customization and don't ask for anything extra, like ketchup and more iced tea).

    We love to eat at Elevation 89. The food is delicious and so many choices. Don't forget to try their appetizers and desserts, yum! Everyone there is so polite and able to answer your questions and help out other servers. Great place to take friends and family.

    The seating and the bar area are nothing to write home about, but wow, the food was really good! We had the halibut and steak with shrimp.

    Great service….this place needs a serious make over, then it will be a fun place for the locals and incoming clients to visit. Food was better than average.
