The ambience of the restaurant is amazing, and the service was great. The food didn’t quite live up to the atmosphere but was alright and we still had a good time. The fried oyster mushroom though was delicious! Overall, it’s a nice spot for a lunch hangout or date night.

We went to Elise for valentines. We had to order from valentines menu. We couldn’t order anything from usual menu! For someone that doesn’t like seafood, there was literally only one option (hen). If we knew it’s not optional to choose from valentine’s menu, we would go somewhere else….The desert was nice. Ambient is good. Service was ok. Overall it was overpriced according to quality and quantity. I won’t go back.
Update: When we were reserving the place in January, noone mentioned that we have to order from valentines menu.

One snowy evening in early January, my wife and I discovered Elise. Sitting at the bar, we met Alex, who made us two excellent cocktails, including a classic Manhattan. We then enjoyed two delicious starters, just the way we like them. We had an excellent vol-au-vent with snails and a classic beef tartare served with toast (there is a new trend of serving tartare with chips, which takes away all the refinement). For the main course, we enjoyed a succulent salmon in a creamy sauce, beautifully presented, as well as a classic French dish: steak and fries. But it was when I tasted their excellent rice pudding that I really lost my mind. A dessert for connoisseurs, of which I am one. Great wine list, sure bets. Elise is the work of an extremely talented 28-year-old chef. The best is yet to come! The final word goes to Vladimir, the manager, who has mastered the art of service. There’s no rush, just savoring the moment.

I have been to Elise several times for brunch, but this was my first time trying their lunch menu and it did not disappoint.
β€’
I really appreciated the lunch format, with the option to choose either two dishes for $35 or three dishes for $40, which felt flexible and extremely reasonably priced for the quality.
β€’
While the menu is not overly long, there are plenty of well-thought-out options to suit different tastes, including vegetarian selections. The food was very tasty and offered great value for a lunch menu.
β€’
The decor and atmosphere are warm and inviting, and it was a lovely touch that the owner greeted us and introduced himself at the start of lunch service. Service throughout was consistent, friendly, and attentive, no complaints at all.
β€’
Overall, a fantastic lunch experience and a great spot I will happily return to and recommend.
