    What a great meal! Such wonderful value for money, though almost too much food. Service was great - would definitely come again if I was in town.

    We have been going to Elli's since just about a month after it opened. We have NEVER been disappointed with any meal. Patrick, the owner, and his staff ALWAYS go out of their way to make sure everyone is treated in a special way. Over time we have come to be on a first name basis with he and many of his staff. Elli's serves a qualty meal, with more than adequate portions. Elli's is always clean and spotless, the service is impeccable, and it's ambiance is wonderful. There's something on the menu for everyone. Highly recommend!

    Overall, had a good experience. I was disappointed that they ran out of the special I wanted (tortellini) so I settled for the bolognese which was comparable to others I’ve had from other restaurants. My dining partner ordered the cavatelli bread bowl and was surprised there wasn’t any sauce with it, so it was a little dry, but tasty. The bang bang shrimp appetizer was very good, and so was the flourless chocolate cake. Also, very pleased with our server, Vicki, who was pleasant and very attentive to our needs.

    Atmosphere was wonderful and different.noise level was not that great to be able to talk at your table. Service was very good and Waitress was wonderful. You should remove specials that are not available or tell patrons when they arrive. Took us 15 minutes to look at menu and than was told item was not available. Great portions but food needs some improvement. Is fun place to go with friends
