What reviewers say about Elle Restaurant & Lounge
People say this Italian restaurant serves delicious pasta, seafood, and steak dishes, with highlights including the octopus, chicken piccata, and eggplant parmesan. They highlight the amazing and well-balanced mixed drinks, and the fresh, crisp cannoli. They also like the chill, sophisticated, and French restaurant vibe, and the attentive, helpful, and respectful service.
“Oh my gosh, this was my first time here and WOW!!!! Let me start out by saying the staff was incredibly kind from the moment we walked in. Our server was the sweetest lady, and still made sure to stop by and check in as much as possible, even with service picking up further in. Support staff was wonderfully kind, and checked in on us as well. The chef was even one of the people helping run food to our table which is not something I often see. All food aside, the service was 10000/10. We got a good variety of things to try. For a drink, I got their Ellevated Espresso Martini because that is one of my all time favorites, and they knocked it out of the park. Probably the best I’ve ever had, and unlike a lot of places, they pull shots there !!! For apps we got the baked brie and lamb meatballs. The meatballs were straight forward, but decadent and delicious. The brie was the star of the show, with the pomegranate, it is the perfect bite for a starter. For dinner, my group got three things and all tried each others: we got the short rib, gnocchi and scallops, and the chicken piccata (my dinner), and my gosh all of it was amazing. The short rib was cooked very well, which is hard to find in restaurants. The gnocchi and scallops was different, but such a delicious dish with depth to it. The chicken piccata was the perfect amount of lemon and garlic, and the chicken was sooo juicy which is often hard to find in restaurants. For desserts we had the pb&j cannoli, which we only took a few bites of, it definitely was mascarpone forward, which isn’t my personal favorite and could’ve used more pb, but was still very yummy. But the carrot cake, let me tell you, was amazing. I do not like cream cheese frosting and do not favor carrot cake, and I found this to be very very good. All in all, I will absolutely be back to try other pieces and parts to the menu because this was not just an amazing meal, but an amazing dining experience from start to finish!!!!!!”
“First time here. The mixed drinks are amazing and well balanced. The octopus was tender with a great char flavor. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sausage was delicious. The canoli was fresh, crisp and well balanced. The service was excellent and recommend this restaurant for a great meal.amd experience.”
“There was a wide range of reviews, but most were great so we took a chance and celebrated our anniversary here. Great decision! Great find! The atmosphere was fun and provincial, the food was excellently prepared and the menu was easy to read. Ask for Caitlin - she delivers excellent service and menu and beverage recommendations with a fun disposition. We will be back and we'll bring friends.”
