I’ve been in the city a bunch of times and passed this restaurant many times without trying - had a family day in the city and kids love burgers and shakes - so thought i would give it a try and happy that I did. The burgers were really good, the shakes really good. The service was great - thank you Stefanie. My only suggestions is that you show go in very hungry and not over order as everything comes out oversized . The pretzel barely fits on the table (just kidding) but it’s huge . Lots of food and wish I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch . Next time (and there will be one) I know.

Loved our dinner at Elysian Cafe. Food great, it was 2 for 1 entrees so a great deal! Packed so noisy, but food delish! Service was a little lacking but I think that was because they were so busy.
