    Everything was great. My only recommendation is to make sure you clean the floor. My wife immediately noticed that the floor looked dirty. Nevertheless, we will visit again and recommend it to friends.

    We think this is one of the most valued restaurants in our area. We have been their clients for many years and were never disappointed. Bret is an innovative and creative chef, his staff is competent, helpful and courteous. When bad times come we always think of small businesses and Elaine's always pops up as one of the first. we admire Elaine's consistence quality and hope it will continue to sustain difficult and hopefully rare crisis situations.

    The location of this restaurant is very hidden from street view. It's contemporary and very clean inside. The menu is a mixture of eclectic foodie items and fancy'd-up comfort foods. We shared an app, salad and 4 entrees. Everything was delicious however the burger was ordered medium and was definitely rare. The person eating the burger said it was fine and ate it all,so it must have been good! Spaghetti, pork, and cassoulet were all cooked perfectly!
