    Great place to celebrate a birthday! For the six of us started with mussels, fried fish, fried green tomatoes and the crab dip appetizers! Then, we dove into individual choices for entrees! What a fun and special evening! Thanks for lovely memories Staff Eliza!!!

    The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious! Get the pimento cheese balls and fried green tomato appetizers. I ordered the pork chop, and it's enough for 2 meals. We will be back soon.

    Excellent food - very slow service. We were there for lunch at noon and we did not get our food until 1:15. Shared some appetizers and they arrived in good time. Some had to leave to get back to work. Will try again because the food was delicious.

    We absolutely loved Eliza! The food was delightful, the ambiance enjoyable, and service spot on. We had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer, it was a large dish with great flavors. We shared a cup of the gumbo that was fresh and full of flavor. My husband got the steak and frites and I got the crab cakes— both delicious!

    This was a date night, 1st time visit to Eliza for us and we were very impressed. Great culinary, fresh and local find in BR. Quiet date night atmosphere. We had two delicious fish dishes, the grilled redfish with asparagus and rice, and the paneed drum with deliciouspotatoesand collards. A white wine, Selby Russian River Valley paired wonderfully with fish dish and the lemon ice box pie with delicious homemade Graham crackers crust for dessert. Omg!! The server Mia was amazing and attentive. One of our best date nights of the year. We will be back.

    Fish dishes were very average. Salt was needed and waitress disappeared until meal was finished.

    Overpriced for the quality of food you get. Food was under seasoned, overcooked, and expensive. Got the pimento cheese balls which you get 4 small ones for 15$ in jelly. They basically turned to mush by time you eat them. Burger somehow tasted like nothing. Meat wasn’t seasoned. Taco seasoning on French fries but they were good.

    The quality of the food we serve at Eliza is of the utmost importance to us so it’s truly disappointing to hear that you felt we missed the mark with your meal. Please know that we are committed to using fresh, local products and all of our dishes are made from scratch, never frozen and we feel like that extra attention to detail and quality usually translates to great experiences, but sadly in this case it did not for your party. We hope you might consider joining us again in the future and trying some other items that might be more to your liking. We appreciate your visit and your feedback very much.
