    Churchill's breakfast- Old Soul bourbon, Hoodoo Chicory liqueur, cold brew, MS honey bitters, burnt cinnamon
    Jurel H.

    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.

    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

    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

    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 .

    During a day stroll, I decided to visit this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, and I was certainly not disappointed. It lived up to all the hype and awards I've read about. Being a fan of both boudin and escargot, I was thrilled to find they had combined these two for a limited time, and they were phenomenal, to say the least. A very southern cozy vibe especially at the bar. I sampled an array of cocktails, but my favorite was the Negroni served "IN" ice. The cocktail arrived in a glass with an ice ball and a small hammer. Initially, I was a bit confused but pleasantly intrigued. I was instructed to crack the ice to access my drink. After a few taps, the ice shattered, and the cocktail flowed out elegantly as the ice pieces danced to a smooth stop. I loved every second of my experience there and look forward to returning one day.

    We had a great meal on our visit. Absolutely loved everything that we put in our pudgy little mouths! We arrive to find a wait for tables but were able to slide right up to the bar on the left where the cooks line and expo are. This made for a birds eye view of the crew as they prepared the food for the restaurant full of patrons. Most people would probably hate the view, but I loved it. It was awesome to watch them assemble the various entrees. I had Churchill's breakfast to drink and loved it. I see why he was such a cool Prez now! Duck fat hash browns is a whole ass dish here and it is fucking fantastic! Get it and you will not be disappointed. Bloody Mary is great but paper straws suck!!! I really wished that I lived closer so I could come here all of the time. I wanted to come the last time I was in town but they were closed on Sunday. Damn it. I guess it will be next time. '24 - 26/100

    Amazing steak house. Yes, it's pricy, but everything was just great. They were very accommodating…read moreof us being a party of 10, there's plenty of space and multiple rooms so to speak so it doesn't feel crowded, and our tables were very spacious which I appreciated. The server we got was very knowledgeable about the menu and accommodated our request to be on separate checks which was great. I ended up getting an 8oz filet cooked medium rare which was cooked to perfection. The steak was absolutely delicious. Mushrooms were great with dusting wine and pepper taste which I enjoyed. Scalloped potatoes were so good as well. I don't think there was anyone in our party who thought the experience was not 5/5! If you're looking for a great upscale steak house this is the place to visit.

    Since I'm not big on beef, I've never been to Koestler Prime but this is my mom's favorite place,…read morethis is where we took her for her birthday dinner. The ambiance is what you would expect. Low lighting, white tablecloths and excellent service. I hate I can't remember my server's name because he should teach a master class on providing service. I ordered the salmon, cooked medium, with a side of asaparus. My mom and sister both got the 8oz filet. Mom got her's cooked medium with mushrooms, while my sister did medium rare with a side of housecut fries. All entrees come with a salad, and we all three picked the vinaigrette dressing. Salad and dressing needed salt. I hate I didn't go with another dressing because I would have really enjoyed my salad more. My salmon and asparagus were very tasty. My mom said her steak melted in her mouth. The side of fries were huge so we all ate some. They were really good! Momma and my sister got the bread pudding and I went with the chocolate chess pie for dessert. You can tell they make the desserts as they were soooo good! It was my first time dinning there but won't be my last.
