Whether it's a mid-week dinner or a weekend hangout, they managed to nail the "elevated neighborhood gem" vibe perfectly. The Food The star of the show is undoubtedly the wood-fired pizza. You can taste the authenticity in the crust--perfectly charred with that signature smoky finish you can only get from a real wood oven. The toppings are fresh, and the balance of flavors shows they aren't just making pizza; they're perfecting it. On the lighter (but equally delicious) side, the fish tacos are a standout. It's rare to find a wood-fired joint that treats seafood with this much respect. The fish is always flaky and fresh, complemented by bright, crisp toppings that make for a perfect contrast to the rich, smoky pizzas. The Service What truly sets Elliot's apart, though, is the bar staff. The service here is consistently top-notch. The team is incredibly knowledgeable--whether you're looking for a specific craft beer pairing or a recommendation from their cocktail list, they know the menu inside and out. It's the kind of place where the staff makes you feel like a regular from your very first visit. Final Verdict: Excellent food, a great tap list, and a team that actually knows their stuff. Elliot's is easily a 5-star experience.

Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. We had moderate expectations for this place and the food greatly exceeded it. As for the service, our server, Alli, was really great. The challenge was that the kitchen and bar got WAY behind with the pre-theater crowd (theater is three doors door). This caused a 30-45 minute delay for food and drinks. I highly recommend that you check if there's a show going on and what the dinner crowd will look like. If it's busy, give yourself a bit of extra time. You will drop a dome here but highly recommend this place. You

He even joked to me that he was glad he brought his own drink because he couldn't have waited that long without it. A few tables came in, sat, ordered, ate, and left before we got our food. The staff running around seemed to be trying to take care of tables but it was pretty disorganized. I know they have a sign up for "now hiring" so I'm assuming they are understaffed, but my unsolicited advice is to not sit tables you can't serve. Once we did get our food the sandwich was soggy and the breakfast items were cold. I'll give credit that the pancakes were hot and weren't bad. Overall a rough visit. Usually work to avoid most chains and fast food spots in favor of local, mom and pop options, and would recommend trying somewhere else.

Plate came i see that the sandwich still have that hashbrown inside and i told her i wanted on a side. She came back without the hashbrown .. i waited for it cos ofcourse it needs to be cook again cos i told her its not for me , its for my friend whose vegetarian. Had that appetizer platter i told her the tenders looks burned and she said well it comes like that and im like ok. I ate it and was burned it was hard and dry. Like im right its taste like shit. If ihop quality is this i wont even go back and im not even from here. Then finally i ask for my hashbrown and she was like oh now you want it with fuck up attitude smh and i said i never i dont want them i said i want them on a side. She went in the back she literally went on my nerves told her your service is awful. Its already late and im tired and i get this kind of service from the place i usually go to . Awful !
