    Birthday Sorbet
    Jiro W.

    During a recent visit to Jackson, I wanted to try the Michelin Guide's recommended restaurants - on top of being recommend by Michelin, someone I know who is familiar with Jackson also recommended Elvie's. Elvie's is located in the trendy Manship area, which is home to many popular Jackson dining establishments. The restaurant is in a renovated home, and has a homey feel. The staff were extremely friendly and had that warm southern charm. Food was great, they served a nice little amuse bouche, and we ordered the bread which was absolutely delicious, I had the swordfish which was excellent, and my partner ordered the steak frites - the fries were plentiful, but the steak is what lowered the rating of the restaurant for us. We ordered medium rare, but unlike a true steak frites, the steak was sliced too thick for the type of cut, and I would say the meat was almost undercooked and quite tough - my partner couldn't finish the steak. I would have given the restaurant an excellent, but the preparation of the steak took some points off. Overall though, we did enjoy it, and I would go back if given the opportunity.

    I absolutely love restaurants that have a unique charm to them, rather than a commercialized building. Elvie's is unique to me because, the restaurant at some point was a home/office. Upon entering there's a bar, followed by an open kitchen. There are plenty of seating, available in the dining area or at the bar tops. It gets pretty busy here. You would think the service would suffer. But the quality of the service was amazing. Grayce was so pleasant, and suggested so many great recommendations. Chicken Parm sandwich- OMG such a great tasting sandwich. Chicken was seasoned perfectly and had just the right amount of Parmesan sauce.

    French omelette with toast. Out of this world delicious!!!

    We had a wonderful brunch today. The service, food, and atmosphere were excellent. We will be back!

    If you're thinking about visiting Elvie's, don't hesitate! We decided to find a spot for breakfast after flying into Jackson in the early A.M. We looked on YELP and found Elvie's and decided to give it a shot! We're so glad we did! The warm, friendly greeting set the tone for a very hospitable experience. We perused the menu and soon the three of us, decided to order the pancakes, French classic omelet with sides of bacon and sausage (for extra protein), and a fried chicken biscuit with a side of potatoes. Everything was presented with care and attention to plating. The food was tasty & freshly prepared. The interior is modern and cozy and there are a few tables on the front patio. You can peruse the pictures of "Elvie" on the wall. There's also a framed James Beard nomination on the wall. We're so glad we picked this particular restaurant!

    Elvie's is one of those neighborhood spots that just gets it. This breakfast plate hit the mark--simple, well-executed, and comforting, from the fluffy eggs to the biscuit and savory sausage. The service is friendly and attentive without hovering, and the ambiance has that warm Belhaven charm--relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for easing into your morning. A great place to slow down, enjoy a solid meal, and feel taken care of.

    An evening draped in warmth, laughter, and fine conversation -- a night where every course told its own story. We began with a play of contrasts and texture: hand-cut beef tartare elevated by chive and dill, crowned with a whisper of smoked salt and served alongside golden-grilled bread. Beside it, Oysters Elvaretta -- kissed with bacon, Parmesan, and tender artichoke -- offering a briny depth softened by a crisp French baguette. The main courses arrived in a duet of indulgence. First, "Pork Two Ways" -- confit pork belly yielding beneath its crackling skin, paired with crisp rillettes, confit Alabama apples, silky miso butternut squash, and bright pickled mustard seeds that illuminated each bite. Then, Mississippi braised beef cheek, rich and unctuous, glazed in Hoover sauce and served with local carrots, a French onion soubise, and a touch of horseradish and toasted benne seeds -- a dish that spoke of patience, craft, and the quiet power of Southern terroir. Dessert brought a final note of comfort and grace. A salted caramel and chocolate brownie -- molten within -- paired with vanilla ice cream, benne seed crumble, and sea salt. Beside it, an espresso layered pudding with mascarpone, crisp wafers, and praline dulce de leche, each spoonful an embrace of brightness and depth. We lingered over a chilled glass of non-alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc, letting the evening stretch gently into memory -- a testament to shared company, exceptional ingredients, and the simple elegance of a meal prepared with devotion.

    Saint valentine

    I would give the food five stars, the ambiance 4 stars, and the service 3 stars which gives an overall rating of four stars. I ordered a shrimp cocktail, a specialty drink called the Saint Valentine, and the chef's board. The chef's board is a fancy charcuterie style dish where the chef chooses the meats and it varies based on when you come in. I thought the meat selection was good and I really liked the pecan jam it comes with. My shrimp were juicy and tasty. The person I was with didn't like the menu too much and only ordered fries. The ambiance is nice because it's in a trendy part of town and they have a nice bar area and the lighting is just right. The reason why I only give service three stars is for a few reason. Firstly, the host sat me at the bar and I was waiting several minutes to be given a menu. I thought the people behind the bar would give me one. Then I saw the host sat a couple people beside me and he gave them menus... even though I hadn't been offered one. I had to ask the host to give me menus. Also I was bothered because I ordered the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and it wasn't given to me before my meal. I noticed it sitting on the counter (uncomfortably placed beside a used cup) and I asked for it. They did not give it to me because they said I needed to wait for my friend's fries to be done. I had to stare at my shrimp for 10-15 minutes just sitting on the counter while I was hungry because they wouldn't just hand it to me. I don't think I would come here again.

    Shrimp and grits, duck fat hash browns, Caesar salad
    Sharon S.

    One of my favorites for the shrimp and grits! The roux has an authentic Cajun flavor and all of the spices and seasoning are balanced perfectly. The poached egg on top of the dish sets it off....and I'm not typically a "runny/sunny egg" girl! The duck fat hash browns are crisp. The service is always 10/10 and the ambiance is nice and quaint!

    So we went there for breakfast. The menu is limited. Let's get started. Wait time to be seated (5) Host (5) Server(5) Mae Wait time for food to reach table (3) it was crowded and it took about 40 minutes for the food to reach our table Appearance of food (4) Taste of food (varied from 2-5) Omelette was good but ham very salty Hash browns for me was a miss Pancakes were a hit with the kids Bacon was a (1) because it was burned on the edges and raw in the middle. Bread for me was a (2) it was too hard. Orange juice (5+) That place was super small and super crowded. Apparently a lot of people dine there so maybe this first experience was unusual. Will I return, maybe but no time soon. Do I recommend this place, of course, the people are friendly and this may be the type of food some of you readers like. Overall I give them a (3) ForRealFran

    Steak frites
    Angela H.

    Listed in the Michelin Guide, the food I received was under seasoned and over priced. I'm in Jackson for work once a year for work and this was one of my first stops. I had to ask for salt. They actually don't have salt and pepper shakers, so they gave me the salt and pepper on a plate. I have no issue with that but that shows you how (falsely) confident they are in the seasoning of their food. Same phrase, different restaurant, I WON'T BE BACK .

Parking was tight and hard to to manuever but they did have a cart available for rooms that are further away - partially broken. 2. In downtown area, kind of dingy and run down - but somewhat charming w many old craftsman homes around. 3. Could have used some hanging baskets and annuals for more color and charm - would help brighten the mood of the run down area of town - 4. And wish theyd answer the phones. We left messages almost everytime we called (they were good about calling back). This leaves one feeling disconnected from a warm hospitable experience.

This review is strictly based on my Shrimp Po-Boy which had the worst fried shrimp I've ever experienced. It was cooked beyond belief and felt like chewing rubber. Breading was probably tasty had the order been properly cooked but could not tell. I had my wife taste a piece, she confirmed my opinion. Bread was buttered and grilled but did not have the feel of a real po-boy bun as if it were on the old side which is strange as the place is a bakery. I don't know what dressing was used, tasted like plain mayo. This is a strong do-not-ever-order recommendation. Fries were good, probably cut fresh. If I ate in, the order would be sent back to the kitchen. My replacement would likely have been better but QC on the takeout was lacking. I understand it's a popular spot in Jackson and was certainly full when I picked up the order. My meal, sadly, was quite forgettable. Other meals that were part of the order seemed OK but, in my eyes, uninspired.
