This place is special. Everything from apps, drinks, main courses, desserts, and staff, it's 5 stars for sure. Started out with the tuna tartare and fried Brussels sprouts. Both delicious. The Brussels sprouts are served with an amazing black garlic aioli. I had the lamb chops and my girlfriend had the chicken piccata. The dessert special was carrot cake and that did not disappoint. Make reservations because the place is small but honestly one of the best meals I've had from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Stumbled upon this cozy restaurant when we were in the area and were delighted with our choice. We took two seats at the bar and shared the Caesar and delicious sausage/spinach pasta. The smoked old fashioned was a treat - to drink as well as the prep/presentation. Very warm, hospitable experience. Looking forward to sampling more of their menu on our next visit! read more

By far--one of my favorite restaurants. Food is absolutely amazing, owners and staff truly care and work hard to deliver creative menus and cocktails. Best restaurant South of Boston. Great vibe. read more

I had the risotto with the scallops and it was awful. There was no taste in the rice and the scallops were tough. And for two it cost us over eighty dollars. No I do not recommend this Resturant. read more

A five star experience on both our visits. First visit was brunch with my husband and I. The food was unmatched. I had the waffles, with Nutella/chocolate and bananas fosters (cooked to perfection), topped with amazing vanilla ice cream. My husband had the ahi tuna on top of avocado and cream cheese toasts. A Devine brunch! Try the blueberry lemonade mimosas - to die for! Proud staff, we got to meet the owner, chef and most of the staff (hello Nikki). Our server was top-notch. Obviously, it's a team who wants this establishment to succeed! Tonight we went there for dinner with our daughter. We arrived very early and the host was very gracious, letting us know that our table was running late (in addition to us being early) and made up for our inconvenience. Our server was on-point, attending to our table when appropriate. The crispy brussel sprouts and the burrata salad we had for starters were soooo delicious!!!! Our daughter highly recommends the Greek Lemon Chicken Soup, which my husband also tried and said it was great. The Caesar salad was grilled to perfection! My steak was cooked as ordered and served with a very nice crispy corn salad. Our only distraction occurred with my husband's dinner. The waitress and chef reacted quickly. There was a bit of miscommunication between the front of the house and the kitchen and it got corrected swiftly, with apologies from our outstanding waitress, the host, the owner and the chef!!! Amazing!!! Okay, so let's talk dessert...Our daughter wanted particulars that was not on the menu and without hesitation, our waitress said that they would oblige. And then we ordered the chocolate tort. Beyond heaven!!!! All-in our experiences have been nothing short of amazing. We frequently dine in Boston restaurants and we can certainly tell you that Elsie's table meets and mostly surpasses our experiences there. Recommend for you and your friends! read more

This is the place for you! Upon walking in, you are immediately greeted with a smile! Once we were brought to our table complimentary bread and water was quickly given to us! Our lovely server Nikki was go easy to talk to and built a fantastic rapport with our table. We ordered some alcoholic drinks and they were amazing! We then decided to order the clam chowder, butter and sage raviolis, and the smoked pork flatbread! I don't know how else to put this... but I wish I could have chef Fabi's food everyday! Fabi came out and introduced herself to our table and spoke with us for a few minutes before heading back into the kitchen. She was very eager to get to know her audience and create relationships with every table inside this restaurant. I honestly don't know what's better than that. Fabi is very caring when it comes to any concerns with food and what a person's preferences might entail. as soon as I told our server, Nikki that I have an allergy to nuts, she immediately went to the kitchen to discuss with Fabi to make sure all of my food was nut free. You could tell the staff was very concerned with the safety of their guests and made everybody feel as if they were priority number one. Anyways, back to the food... Fabis food was so amazing I almost melted in my seat with every bite. Eating her food feels like the epitome of cooking with love. Just from reading about her cooking experience you can tell she cooks with passion. After eating all of that food, Fabi came out to check back in! She truly cared about our opinions and would fix anything that wasn't to our liking. But everything was! I wouldn't change a damn thing! We finished off our evening with a s'mores martini... TO DIE FOR and a chocolate torta that was accompanied by cherry ice cream and caramel truffles! I must add to this message by saying that I also met both of the owners Renee and Donny as well as the general manager Eric. I personally saw them running around and helping out their staff! They were consistently talking with customers and getting to know every single table. Our table was checked on at least 5 times in one night! We were able to have fantastic conversations with this staff and I can't wait to come again! I quite honestly can't say enough about this restaurant but my fingers are sore so I will finish this off with some pictures! read more

I had an amazing experience here the food aaa so unique and delicious. Not to mention the drinks were just as good! They were very accommodating to my needs due to my food allergies which the server had asked us prior. The managers and owners came up to our table and were so friendly and nice making sure everything was to our liking. The chef also had greeted us making sure she knew my food allergies and made some special recommendations for my meal. I will def be going again!!! read more

Elsie’s Table - Family recipe of the month Voo Al Vent French Belgium recipe - New American Near Me - Canton, Massachusetts

My husband and I decided to try a new-to-us restaurant locally last night (a Friday), and chose Elsie's Table. It's a tiny place but when we arrived for our 5:15 reservation (it was either that or after 8 and we were hungry!), the bar was busy with a lively crowd. By the time we left after our meal the whole place was full! Ambience is fresh, clean and modern. Cocktails were delicious and perfectly made. Salmon arrived at the table hot and was absolutely delicious, a generous portion sitting in a modest amount of sweet potato purée (live a restaurant that doesn't use heaps of carbs as an excuse to serve tiny portions of protein) and a generous helping of broccolini. All was ex. Husband had Harvest Ravioli- butternut squash ravioli with scallops in a peas-and-pancetta cream sauce. Delicious, though could have gone lighter on the sauce. Only downside was all 4 pieces of bread served to us were more than a little stale. We will be back! read more

I've seen rave reviews for this restaurant in my local community Facebook group. I was excited to finally try this place out a few weeks ago and it did not disappoint! My colleague and I enjoyed our meal and drinks, and the service was very warm and welcoming. As a Canton resident, I'm proud to have this local restaurant around the corner. read more

Great food, great service, and wonderful atmosphere. We were seated at the high tables by the bar which I found a little too high and uncomfortable but I would still return. read more

Love, love, love Elsie's Table. Food, service (especially Andrew the bartender) are amazing.

Local neighborhood eatery. I love it here. The owners and staff, especially Andew our special bartender, are so warm and inviting and the food is amazing. Small and quaint. Just what Canton needed. Thank you Elsie's Table.. read more

We went here for a birthday dinner recently. There is some parking behind the restaurant, on the street and they also rent spaces at the funeral home next door and it was not an issue on a Friday night. The restaurant is updated and cozy with a smaller dining space. I think a party of five or 6 might be the biggest you'd want to do here. We enjoyed arancini balls, tuna tartare and Elsie's Family Salad for appetizers. I didn't have the arancini because of the bison but heard it was good. The tuna tartare was good but had a lot of extras on it. The salad was fresh and yummy. There was a good wine selection. For dinner we had the salmon, lamb chops, pork chops, eggplant parm, and scallops. It seemed like the stars were the lamb chops and pork chops. The portion for the porch chop was huge and it was very tender. The eggplant parm was also very good. I didn't try the salmon but heard it was good. The scallops and risotto were ok- they lacked a bit of flavor and the risotto was a little undercooked. For dessert we had crème brûlée which was yummy! The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to serve with care. We enjoyed our meal here and I would come again to try more. I love having non-chain restaurants and neighborhood gems to dine at in the suburbs! read more

Outstanding food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend for special occasion. They go above and beyond expectations. Def need reservation read more

We left without actually eating anything. While we waited for our table, we could see the executive chef in the kitchen wiping her face and hair with her gloved hand before she went back to cooking. As we were debating, if we wanted to stay, the host told us our table was ready. When I said I didn't want the table, he barked it was the only table they had for us tonight. I guess even if we still wanted to eat there, you can't choose to wait for another table. read more

Food was horrible, service was horrible. Owner was rude and didn't care about our concerns. Would not recommend

Was really impressed by the food. Ordered one of the specials with steak and lamb chops, couldn't believe how much food it came with and it was all perfect. Remodel came out very nice too. read more

This is our new favorite spot in Canton, we can't wait to try their brunch! The waitstaff were awesome and the food was incredible. Before ordering we received warm herby bread with a soft butter spread - delish! Our apps and main entree were spot on and enough to take home for lunch the next day. The cocktails were top notch, we can't wait to eat at Elsie's Table again soon! read more

Fabulous cocktails and our meals were delicious. Lots of gluten-free options and the service is top notch!

The food was delicious and loved the small restaurant feel. Definitely will be returning soon.

First time here. It is a very small place and was jam packed when we arrived about 15 min early for 7:30 reservation. We stood at the bar and had a drink. Were seated about 7:45. They were very busy but bar service was great and it was a pleasant experience. Our server greeted us promptly and since we already had drinks, said she would give a few minutes and bread would be right out. Oddly, we had to ask about the specials on the menu, we ordered an appetizer to share of bread and some sort of cheesy spread that was very good. We also orders salads and French onion soups, which came out very fast and we had barely started on the appetizer, but not a problem. Our entered were a pork tenderloin, chicken Marsala, Parmesan Cod and Scallops. All were very good and nice sized. The only sort of miss was the chicken Marsala. Our friend enjoyed it, but did say that had it not been called Marsala, she might not have known that it was actually that.. dessert was some sorbet and gelato to share, very nice. A very nice evening at a new place that we will come back to. Definitely recommend having a reservation as it was super busy. Manager/owner? Was apologetic about our wait, but honestly we hardly noticed as it was busy and bar staff was in top of getting us drinks. read more

I'd like to say this place is terrible so no one will go and we'd have the place to ourselves but no, it's actually terrific! We had a great time. The drinks, meal and atmosphere are great. Justin at the bar made a great smoked pecan old fashion. The parmesan cod and sage ravioli's were excellent. The two owners came by to make sure everything was ok, very homey, comfortable, overall a great experience. place is small, make a reservation! read more

TOP SECRET Newest restaurant in town has limited seating, 10-12 tables but it's menu and food is way above average. If word gets out, you'll never get a reservation. Me - French Onion soup was best I've ever had. very light sweet broth and little salt. Bone in pork chop was presented in several slices over an apple/onion stuffing that perfectly complemented the meat. Her - Chicken Lemon soup, 'you must serve this to me any time I'm sick' she says. Bolognese over (home made?) pappardelle, fantastic! read more

We were greeted with an ominous warning that they strictly adhered to 90 minutes for our dinner reservation. That set the mood of the evening. Our waitperson was outstanding, kind and attentive. The food was good but not great. And the ambiance was LOUD LOUD LOUD!!! The room could use a generous helping of sound absorption. And the greeter/hostperson could use a bit better rapport than to open with the warning about time limits. read more

Dined there recently. Everything from the manner in which we were greeted to the way we were treated at the conclusion of our visit was outstanding. Food and drinks were consistently excellent but what stood out was the personalized attention including a visit to our table from the chef. It is about time that Canton's had a restaurant worth staying home for! read more

Food, service, ambiance are all excellent! Make sure to make a reservation. You won't be disappointed! read more

From the moment we walked in we felt at home. The front desk staff was professional, attentive and friendly. Our server was accomidating and there for everything we needed. Our drinks were fabulous. The Chef was fantastic! This was one of the best meals I have ever had! I would highly recommend Elsie's Table and we can't wait to go back! read more

I love Elsie's! Their food is incredible and unlike any other place in canton! I came here this morning for breakfast and ordered the steak and eggs Benedict. The spicy hollandaise sauce was the best! Others at my table orders the croque monsieur and the tartiflette. These meals looks delicious and were devoured. Our server Jess was very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond! Chef Fabi and her crew came out and introduced herself to us. I will be coming back here for dinner very soon! read more

the food was delicious & presented so artistically. renee had mentioned there was to be a large party and we were seated at the last table however she did say we had the option of sitting outside but my husband wanted inside. oh well! the hostess greeted us enthusiastically however, the waiter pretty much ignored us, outside of serving our meals which took the longest time. upon leaving we asked the hostess if she would take an anniversary photo. we left on positive note read more

The food was cold and undercooked. The waitress didnt seem to care that I was disappointed. She said they only really carter to Canton Townies. People from out of town are not welcomed and should eat at McDonalds or Burger King read more

Was really looking forward to having dinner here because I had heard so many good things. The interior renovations were beautiful, the food was amazing, our server was great and very friendly. My only complaint is the place is very loud! Was looking forward to having dinner with three friends and we struggled to hear each other over the noise level. Not sure mixing a bar crowd with a restaurant in such a small space works well. read more

Never had a bad meal at Elsies, the food is cooked to perfection, the drinks are amazing, staff is wonderful, and the ambiance is just what Canton needs! read more

Really loud. Food is average. Menu is a little overpriced. Our server was nice. I think it's a little strange that the manager and owner walk around during working hours sipping on a glass of wine. read more

Recently opened several months ago, in the old "big D" location across from 7-Eleven. Small restaurant, squeaky, clean, great quality, the owner is always walking around and she is a sweetheart and very personable. They've been rotating bartenders for a while so probably just trying to find a good fit. it gets busy quickly, maybe seats 20 to 30 people? Delicious brunch, little bit loud atmosphere, but that's to be expected as it's a small place. read more

Great cozy place in Canton center. Suzanne made us great beverages and our Proscuitto Fig Flatbread was fantastic. Thanks for being awesome! read more

Went for brunch- food was delicious. Thanks to our server (Devin ) for the prompt, friendly service. Looking forward to going back. FYI: small so be sure to call for reservations read more

Food was excellent, salmon and tuna tartare were great. Felt like entering a pottery barn decorated home, being welcomed, and enjoying a great meal. Waitress was lovely and clearly enjoys being part of their team. Husband enjoyed his drinks too. Thank you! read more

Food was great, the owners and the staff were so friendly. Very nice atmosphere. It was too hot for the patio but hopefully next time. We'll be back. read more

The food was good, but the menu is limited for lunch. A little expensive for Canton. Clean place with nice décor. The server was friendly. I just noticed that they are no longer open for lunch during the week. Oh, well.. I won't be back. read more

Six friends went to dinner at Elsie's Table last night and wow it was delicious. We had cocktails including a Mediterranean mule and expresso martinis which hit the spot. We started our meal with charred Caesar salad with a light dressing and homemade croutons and shaved parmesan . I have to try this at home. It was a meal in itself and the char brought it to another level. My friend and I split the steak and it was more than enough! It came out on a cutting board with roasted potatoes, vegetable medley and roasted sprouts. Amazing and the steak was cooked to perfection. Others had eggplant parmigiana and the cod - both healthy portions and very good. The restaurant was bustling but the waitress and staff were wonderful. We ended our night with a chocolate torte and creme brûlée both fantastic. The space is new and beautiful inside - the bar is reclaimed church pews and every details was well thought out. It was so busy I was like the bathroom is going to be a mess - nope clean. This restaurant is a really nice addition to Canton and very reasonably priced. We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. read more
