    Third course - amazing vegetable course
    John H.

    Elise is a small 30 seat fine dining establishment run by Chef Jonathan who apparently used to run Clarity in Vienna (another great restaurant). Elyse is located on Fairfax Blvd next to Dolce Vita and related to Elyse (going to try there another time). We arrived and surprised to see valet parking as parking lot was small. Staff were very pleasant and friendly and Chef Jon meets and tells you about the dishes and how it's prepared (not all courses) . It's a five course tasting menu available with different drinks pairing. We loved all the prepared dishes but were full by the time the main entree arrived. We asked our waiter how often the menu changes as we want to experience different dishes from Chef Jon. Definitely recommended

    Late review (visit: February 2025) We went to Elyse for a romantic date a few months ago. There's a valet waiting in front so parking wasn't an issue. We were seated as soon as we arrived. The whole restaurant is small and quite intimate. We admired the modern interiors and the honeycomb wine cellar which was custom made for the restaurant. The menu has five courses - with some courses having two options. My date and I decide to try all dishes that evening. First course: Almond macaron and cured trout - Interesting flavor but my date found it too sweet as an appetizer. Second course: Spanish Mackerel, Pork Belly, Passion Fruit Wagyu, Kuroge, Idaho, Fermented Garlic The mackerel was fantastic! Wagyu is wonderful too but the mackerel was the better dish in this course. Third course: Handmade Pasta, Sunchoke, Truffle, Squash - our favorite dish overall. This is insanely delicious! Additional course: Foie Gras - it was okay. I would skip it next time because of health reasons Fourth course: Venison, Persimmon, Chayote Yakitori Lobster, Cabbage, Taro Root Both are well-executed! We were starting to get a little full at this point though. Desserts: Olive Oil Cake, Dark Chocolate Pear, Red Wine, White Chocolate I loved the Olive Oil Cake! The service itself was outstanding - Michelin-star level. Our server that night was knowledgeable of the menu and made us really comfortable the whole night. The food was really creative and eclectic. I can definitely see a Michelin star on this restaurant. Highly recommended!

    Though unassuming from the outside, Elyse is a true treasure once you find your way in. Everything from the great service, down to the unobtrusive way they manage to always keep your water glass full, is top notch. All the dishes are so well thought out. You can tell in the careful mix of ingredients and the beautiful plating. There wasn't one dish we didn't enjoy. The menu features a five course tasting menu with options on the second, fourth and final course. There was also a supplemental dish of fois gras which was excellent that you could add. Along the way, there are also little treats, starting with the wonderful sourdough bread and house churned butter through to the bespoke dark chocolate squares. We found the food to be delicious with portion sizes that allow you enough of each course without over eating. Each dish was explained as it was presented, allowing the diner to appreciate all the components that go into each one. Now that they have started their own garden, many of the veggies come straight from their own little "farm" to the table. Though it is small, we didn't find Elyse to be noisy. We loved our round table nestled in the corner. We were touched by the care of the staff, including their warm birthday wishes (and dessert) and the very thoughtful gift of their house made sourdough bread all wrapped up and ready to take home. Truly, we could not have asked for more. The parking may seem limited but there is a big lot at the church right behind the restaurant where they have permission for their diners to park. This makes it super easy. Just follow the little path, look to your left and enter a world of great food and great service.

    For those that don't like to read long reviews - the condensed version: super intimate setting with stellar service and Michelin-quality food. Ever changing menu that showcases fresh ingredients and innovative culinary skills. This is a must try (again, and again). For more details.... Food: 5 stars. My husband and I have been to Elyse at least 6 times since it opened earlier in 2024. We've been a follower of Chef Krinn for much longer and no matter what direction he takes his food - it's going to be great. The menu changes often, so talking about it won't help too much if you're reading this a month later. Just know it's a tasting menu style restaurant only. You will have options to avoid some allergies / issues, but ultimately what they have on the menu is what they will serve. There's no option to get a burger or a steak in lieu of the tasting menu, so make sure you're either food-adventurous or you like what they are serving before you go. Service: top notch. Everyone on Krinn's team has solid food service experience and it shows. Nothing is ever needed / wanted - staff is always guaranteeing that you have things before you know you need it. Ambiance: this place is small, but that's what makes it so special. Seats less than 50 people at one time and the chefs counter is the place to be - but they offer tables and they have a couple really lovely & comfortable booths. Price: $125 per person for most of the tasting menus, plus 20% auto gratuity. Wine pairing is available as well and is around $80/pp. you can also buy wine or champagne by the glass or bottle. Corkage is allowed and $35 per bottle. Attire: you can show up in jeans and as relaxed as you want, but most opt for dressier attire. I've only showed up in a cocktail dress - but it's because I love an opportunity to get dressed up and everyone there seems to do as well. Overall, if you love good, exciting food and want a place to celebrate anything special - or just to make your stomach happy - then this is your place. Pics I'm including are from multiple dinners at Elyse - not all one visit.

    Almond Macaron, Cured Trout, Parisian Caviar, Cauliflower Puree
    Ken S.

    KenScale: 8.25/10 Visits: January 2025 Some of the most rewarding restaurant visits throughout our culinary journey together have been when my wife Jun and I stumbling upon a place that had flown under the radar while still offering compelling dining experience and where we got to know the chef and the staff over time and get more perspectives on the restaurant's identity and core philosophy. It was sometime in the fall last year that I learned about a new project in Fairfax by chef Jon Krinn (who cooked previously at the Clarity restaurant in Vienna) that was operating on an "invitation only" basis until opening up the space to the public. We had not dined at Clarity before, so I was intrigued by the proposition at Elyse (named after chef Jon's daughter's middle name), a five-course tasting menu at a relatively reasonable $130 per person. After running some errands in Virginia on a recent Saturday, we drove over to the restaurant in a relatively obscure part of Fairfax (next to an Italian restaurant Dolce Vita). Jun confessed to me she had no prior expectations whatsoever before we stepped into the restaurant; after the meal, she happily concluded that Elyse is a restaurant worth visiting again and again. The moment I realized that Elyse is not an ordinary restaurant was when we were met with almond macaron to start our meal. What are the odds you see a sweet macaron for your opening bite at a restaurant? Well, you put cured trout, caviar and cauliflower puree inside the macaron, and you have one really delicious bite of sweet and savory to raise expectations for the rest of the meal. For the second course, Jun and I shared the two options available on the menu. Of the two, what really impressed Jun was a refreshing ceviche of razor clam, sea squirt and sea cucumber. It is really rare to see sea squirt and sea cucumber at a restaurant in America, and they could backfire unless cooked properly due to their funky ocean flavor. Knowing that Jun is rather sensitive to these types of ingredients, it was a relief to see her greatly enjoy the ceviche and heaped praise on the dish to chef Jon. Chef Jon prepared the pasta himself, and it turned into a wonderfully earthy plate with chestnut and mushroom-based sauce. We were offered a supplement of foie gras following the pasta, and were very glad to have taken up on it. The texture of the foie gras was very memorable, and the ingenious use of star fruit, dragon fruit and passion fruit only enhanced it. We also chose each dish from the fourth, final savory course. Jun was very complimentary of how well the venison was cooked, and the unexpected use of dried persimmon and chayote puree to complement the meat was also quite smart. I, on the other hand, really liked the wild skate swing with spot-on texture of the fish that tasted even better with the use of saffron and sea urchin vinaigrette. For the two desserts we shared, we were slightly more in favor of the pear dessert with red wine-based sauce and white chocolate; I particularly liked how the kitchen decided to use dehydrated shiitake mushrooms to give chewy texture in between the pears. Getting a reservation at 30-seat Elyse isn't difficult at the moment but if you are looking to dine at the chef's counter (which is really the spot to enjoy your experience at the restaurant while interacting with chef Jon and his staff working their magic at a small kitchen), you might want to plan in advance. We both loved many personal touches of the restaurant, starting with its cozy dining room that makes you feel like you are dining in a secret supper club, to chef Jon's personal email before our visit with a sneak peek at the menu as well as directions and other tidbits. As we were seated at the counter closest to the kitchen, we had a chance to chat extensively with chef Jon throughout the meal. He was a very friendly and approachable person (which is arguably hard to find in a lot of star chefs these days) who shared his motivation behind opening this relatively modest operation with his wife Antonia Le and a small staff he brought from his prior spots. We saw in him a talented and humble chef who wants to continuously iterate and improve upon his craft to deliver world-class dining experience to diners he cares about (he even embraced Jun's suggestion to consider using pine nut in lieu of chestnut for the pasta). Could the dining experience at Elyse be improved? The portion was somewhat on the smaller side even for main courses, and I do think the wine list could be improved to add more options. Overall, however, our experience at Elyse was quite good and we were very encouraged to hear that chef Jon is aiming to change his menu at least monthly. Elyse is one of the better restaurant discoveries we had made in recent years, and we can't wait to go back to the restaurant again later this year. Overall, however, Elyse is one of the better discoveries we had made in recent years, and we can't wait to go back again.

    paired tasting course

    ambiance and food was amazing. We had a great conversation with owner and executive chef. Unfortunately we had stated to our server prior to the meal that we were on a 2 hour time limit and if that was an issue that was fine one of our guests would just have to leave early. We constantly and enthusiastically reassured that we would be out within 2 hours. We then were pushing the 2 hour mark and we still had 3 courses left with people who sat down after us finishing before us. I don't know if it was just a weird off night but if we are paying as much as we are I think the guests should be a priority. Again food and the intimate vibe was spectacular and love having a local nice restaurant.

    We went Elyse for our wedding anniversary. We reserved at the counter seats so I can see the kitchen performance. The service (both before and after the visit), food and all chefs were amazing. We were pleased with everything. Thank you chef Jon!!

Finally coming in for lunch did not disappoint. We tried their "3 Bites & Small Plates" deal for $25, and it was absolutely worth it. We went with the feta dip (of course), cheddar cheese curds, and tikka masala meatballs. For a non-Indian restaurant, the tikka masala was surprisingly on point - really flavorful and well-balanced. The cheese curds were super satisfying, especially dipped into the sauces they come with. But the star of the show is still the hot honey feta dip. The bread is lightly charred, giving it a subtle smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the warm, salty, gooey feta and sweet honey. It's one of those dishes you think about after you leave. For drinks, I had the Wild Blueberry Lemon Drop - very refreshing and definitely on the stronger side (it is a martini, so no complaints). We also tried the watermelon margarita - pro tip: ask for it with tajin, it makes a huge difference. For entrées, we got the lunch grilled cheese and tomato soup, which was exactly what you'd hope for - comforting and classic. We added candied bacon to the grilled cheese and didn't regret it at all. We also had the quarter pound burger, which tasted fresh and really hit the spot. The fries were perfect - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. And yes - I loved the hot honey feta dip so much that I actually ordered it as my entrée too, no regrets at all. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and the overall vibe inside is very chill and lowkey. We sat outside by the fireplace, and even with the weather warming up, it was surprisingly comfortable with the fans going. Definitely recommend - whether you're dining in or ordering out, you can't go wrong here!

The food, however, is very mediocre. They started with an amuse-bouche that was a fruit tart with cheese. Nice, light, and well balanced. We ordered the tuna tartare, along side a Japanese sweet potato dish and a salmon tartare that were both specials. The tartares were fine. Something you would get anywhere. The presentation was nice but their crisp or cracker was kind of useless as it doesn't have the structural strength to use as a vessel to eat the fish. The sweet potato was probably the best in terms of flavor albeit very rich. The main course is well things really fell apart. The beef dishes people ordered were either under cooked or over cooked. I got the grilled prawns which were limp and mushy. The veggies were underseasoned. The braised beef was small. I think everyone was underwhelmed with the main course. It's fine as a after work dinner spot but if you care about food, there are better options nearby.

They offer a prix-fixe menu that changes seasonally (?) for brunch and dinner. The ingredients here are high-quality and well prepared and cared for before serving. I've heard great things about Maple Ave from a friends, so I took my family here for dinner this past Wednesday. We really enjoyed the creativity of how the dishes were crafted and plated here and the execution was also phenomenal. This time around, it was 59.00 per person for a 4-course prix-fixe dinner (two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert). Since there were only a couple options per section, we were able to try all the options they had. FIRST: APPLE HAZELNUT SOUP Creamy, pale colored soup with a thicker consistency similar to butternut squash soup. It was lightly sweet, yet savory at the same time. There were some pickled apples and toasted hazelnuts delicately sprinkled on top that added a bit of a crunch. The soup was unique and we enjoyed it. FIRST: ROOTCAKE Between the rootcake and the apple hazelnut soup, the rootcake was my favorite. The vegetables were caramelized and made into a patty, topped generously with almonds with some umami aïoli and pimenton sauce. The rootcake was so good. Each bite was hearty and rich, and it's such a unique way to prepare vegetables. The sauce enhanced each bite and the almonds provided a nutty texture. I would recommend the rootcake as your first option. SECOND: CRISPY SQUASH NUGGETS I didn't think I would enjoy the crispy squash nuggets as much as I did. The roasted squash is breaded with panko crumbs, sitting in some dill yogurt sauce and topped with some raisins and radish. The squash were perfectly seasoned and crispy with a soft interior that left my taste buds wanting more. The dill yogurt sauce was a good complement. I'd definitely recommend this option if you're not a fan of mushrooms and/or you want something more crispy. SECOND: WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO One of the best mushroom risottos I've ever had. It's rich and creamy, filled with truffle flavor. The shiitake mushrooms had a dry, crispy texture. The manchego shavings on top were a great plus. The squash was used for coloring and probably some flavoring? Not sure. The whole thing was really good and memorable. I'd definitely recommend! THIRD: SHRIMP I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but my family loved it along with the citrus braised fennel. I was a fan of the creamy semolina, though! Overall, it wasn't for me, but that's more of a personal preference. THIRD: PORK CONFIT STEAK The pork they used was pork belly (?) and seared very nicely, topped with perfectly crispy potatoes, mangoes (?), brown butter sweet potato puree and chimi churri sauce. The pork belly melted in my mouth but as someone who's not the biggest fan of fatty pork, I wish it was a leaner cut. The potatoes were so good and went well with the sweet potato puree. Even though I didn't love the pork confit steak, I'd recommend this entree over the shrimp. FOURTH: MOCK FRIED "APPLE" PIE It was zucchini instead of apple and you can't even tell. I loved the crispy pie exterior which was lightly topped with cinnamon. The vanilla bean ice cream was my favorite as it was creamy and smooth. The dulce de leche and lavender honey were nice touches. Very nice way to end the meal. All the food here were so rich with lots of complex flavors. Each dish was so beautifully plated with many vibrant colors. We were quite full after all the food we ate. I would recommend coming here with another person to try all the options they offer here! The food here is unique and well-executed, and I'd be open to come back to try a different seasonal menu.
