Fantastic I like…read moretotally flew by the seat of my pants when I planed the West Virginia portion of our trip. Wheeling seemed to be somewhere in the vicinity of our drive to Morgantown tomorrow so I decided to stay the night. Looking for a place for dinner, I stumbled upon this place on Yelp in wheeling. Little did I know what an iconic place this is. We arrived at 5:15 on a Wednesday evening bc we are getting old. A couple leaving at 5:15 made us see our future. We were fortunately seated immediately. The inside is SO CUTE. I can't get enough of it. It felt like such an authentic Italian experience. Our server was incredible. So nice, personable, helpful. We started with our beverage orders. I went with a little something off their cocktail menu the elderflower martini which, exactly as I expected, was way more like spiked juice than a "martini" but I wouldn't want it any other way. Don't think I wasn't intrigued by the fried cheese but we have been eating a fair amount of that lately so instead of offering an app, I opted for an entree (stuffed rigatoni) and a side of broccoli. GF ordered fettuccine with red clam sauce. She got a house salad and I didn't for some reason. The broccoli was seasoned wonderfully but the texture wasn't as crisp as I would have liked. The rigatoni and the house sauce was ORGASMIC. That sauce is incredible I would gladly buy it by the jar. The rigatoni were al dente pillows of creamy ricotta heaven. Spectacular. GF regarding her red clam sauce pasta, "delicious". We also ordered the tiramisu to go so stay tuned on that.

The sauce was perfect and they sell jars of it that you can take home with you. I had a great experience here and will definitely be back.

I don't think…read moreWheeling is known for its food scene, but after visiting Elle & Jack's (also Elle&Jack's, no spaces, according to its website) and a couple of other restaurants in Wheeling, I'm starting to think people are sleeping on this West Virginia city. The food is really good at this little restaurant. Elle & Jack's leans toward Italian cuisine, but it gets a little funky with it by offering things like chimichurri salmon, a burger and steak frites. The menu is small, though, which is a relief. A pared down menu is my favorite kind of menu. Give me a small list of the things you make well, and I'll be happy. We got the arancini as an appetizer, of course. My kids had never had arancini before, and they loved them. But it's hard not to love a fried ball of rice covered in red sauce! I got the steak Caesar, because I do love a good Caesar salad. At this point in my life, I'm pretty much obligated to order the Caesar if it's on a menu. The girl can't help it. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium well), and the only thing I would change would be to make the croutons smaller. We also got a side of charred Brussel sprouts with bacon and dates. These were good but needed to be a little more charred! In my opinion, Brussels sprouts taste best when they're scorched. A side order is huge and meant to be shared. It could have easily been shared with three or four people. Elle & Jack's does not have an official kids' menu printed on a paper, but they have an unofficial kids' menu, which apparently lives in each server's head and can only be shared verbally. It's like five or six items. From what I remember -- because our server's words floated away from me like dandelion seeds in the wind as soon as he spoke them -- kids can choose from pasta with red sauce, buttered noodles, a grilled cheese and a cheeseburger. One of my kids got pasta with red sauce, and it was a perfect portion size for a child. My child liked it but said that the noodles were too chewy (they were probably cooked al dente). My other kid got a grilled cheese, and he liked it just fine. The kids' grilled cheese comes with fries. The scene here is slightly upscale but casual. I saw people who were dressed up and people who were not dressed up. I think it's definitely a come-as-you-are joint, but a place to visit when you want something a little more elevated.

While visiting the area we made a reservation to eat here on a Saturday night over the Labor Day…read moreweekend. We had a little trouble finding the place, but when we did it is fair to say that the building is huge. I can see why someone may want to host a shower or even a wedding here. Well I made reservations but it wasn't at all necessary. I requested a table outside but I kind of wished I didn't because the outdoor lighting on the upstairs deck was very poor. It was hard to see anything. Also as I stated the outdoor seating is upstairs through some large rooms, sort of a maze to maneuver around. Not to mention we were the only patrons out here. In retrospect they probably could have told us no, but they accommodated my request. We started off with an appetizer of Stratford's Asparagus. It consisted of asparagus spears wrapped in thin tenderloin strips, char-grilled and crusted with a blend of sugars, served with a hollandaise and sweet teriyaki blend. The appetizer was really great, my only complaint was the hollandaise sauce broke and they could have done away with the teriyaki altogether. It gave the sauce a sweet element that I didn't care for, but the asparagus was wonderfully cooked as was the tenderloin. Next we ordered our entrees. I decided on the Chilean Sea Bass grilled. It came with some sautéed vegetables. As we waited for our entrees we enjoyed watching what was left of the sun go down. It was very pretty, but as I remarked rather dark. Also being the only table up here every time our waitress came to check on us it almost always resulted in her having to go back downstairs to bring us something whether a refill or whatnot. She claimed she liked the exercise, but I am sure it annoyed her. Our entrees came out and they looked great. My fish was cooked right on, and the veg and fish were nicely seasoned. I do have to say, for my personal taste they used WAY too much butter. My fish and vegetables were swimming in a pond of butter. I know butter makes things taste better to some, but for me I wouldn't have ordered grilled fish and veggies if I wanted to pack on the calories. Overall though it was very tasty and I would order again in a heartbeat with a special request of no butter.

It took 30-35 minutes to get our food and we were the only table in the restaurant (in hind sight that should have been our first sign) I don't consider myself to be particularly "picky" so when I say this food was completely inedible, please believe that I wouldn't even feed it to my dog- and I really mean that. I wasn't impressed with the service either. In the 35 minutes it took to get our food after ordering, we only saw the server once. After taking one bite of our food, we asked for the check and the server dropped it off and ran. I think she knows, because I'm sure she's seen this a million times before. Still, kind of disgusting service to not ask if everything's okay or if there was anything she could do.
