From the valet parking to the little extra treat at the end, we had a wonderful experience at Eleven. Every dish had nuances that elevated it above the suit. Our appetizer of crab cake was pure crab meat with a crust and deep fried; a black garlic aioli to add that special touch. My husband had the short ribs which melted in your mouth I had the swordfish, perfectly cooked, with a rock shrimp forbidden rice side. Awesome. Service was great and caring. I look forward to returning.
