There were two options, one an American style grill and the other was Thai food. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. My husband had a classic cheeseburger and he thought it was excellent. I ordered a Caprese chicken salad. The chicken breast was sliced and laying on top of the salad. It was the most delicious chicken I can ever remember eating. No joke! Tender, moist and flavorful. The salad with the grape tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella w a balsamic reduction was also very good. The people who worked there from the kitchen to the lovely bar were friendly and helpful. To top it all off, it was located across from the Ohio River waterfront park. What a lovely way to end our meal!

Arancini on a menu always makes me sigh inwardly with joy. Rice balls are banging. 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.
