Ok hold on- this place used to be Elly's but somebody bought it and renamed it Sunset Sharkies Pub…read more& Grub. But Amanda just bought it and changed the name back to Elly's! The sign is elegant and says Elly's which is actually a B&B. We had to look around and finally found a set of stairs right off the sidewalk that lead down to a cool little bar! I fell in love! The new owner is also the bartender- Amanda! She is so much fun! The beer is cold but the food is limited- frozen pizza and hotdogs but we were hungry and in a great mood. There is also a big patio with live music on the weekends. Why the rare 5 Stars? Because the owner is cool, the patrons cool and the place is quirky and like a speakeasy- hard to find but damn worth it!

I am so torn. Sitting lakeside in the sunshine is a 5 star! That said- the food is beyond meh…read more The chicken Cesar wrap was like a salad inside a burrito shell. Not special- not particularly tasty- and a very small serving of French fries. The taco salad was also a strange mix with a few nacho chips. The best item was likely the build your own burger- that was also very stingy on French fries. I know we are used to large portions- but French fries are not an expensive side- so why so few? The drinks are pretty standard. We had Carbliss in the can- so nothing much to say there. The service tried- there seemed to be only 2 people working- and tending bar and serving is a lot when it's a beautiful sunny day and the tables are pretty full. I don't know- I might visit again because- lakeside, but the food would not have me returning.

It tasted fine but it completely over powered the lobster. There was no lobster flavor at all, so whats the point? I wouldn't order it again. Very nice looking place. Everything appeared clean. Booth seats were very uncomfortable. Too low, too far from table, not enough cushion. Sitting forward as I had to to reach, had the frame of the seat digging into my legs. I'm not short. But they were pretty. Our waiter was wonderful.

Most people out there in their own chairs, drinking their own liquor. We asked them if we could open the door so we could hear the music inside. The answer was a Curt no.

We would have a great time, but now they have a new DJ. He is always on his phone ignoring us. Last Saturday, it was a small crowd so he could just go through the rotation of singers and then go through again but instead he played music. We each got to sing one song and that's it. We waited for another chance to sing or to see others sing but it never came. We got bored and left. We need to find another place to sing kareoke!

All was made to order and the service was good. Definitely a local place. LOTS of great options in the menu and was difficult to decide. I had the chance to taste each of the four sandwiches and all were good - but only one of them was amazing. The other three were still very good and unique... but not as over the top as the The Dill (I think it was). I would easily recommend this place and plan to go back the next time I'm in town. In addition, this isn't a sit down place - you will need to leave with your drop What I could tell. There were some tables in the alley... but the lake is a close walk for a good view while eating. Finding this place was a pleasant surprise. Support local!

Give it a try.

Went to Bennigan's, ended up having an Ed Debevic's styled meal…read more At 7:15pm- me and five others arrived and were fairly quickly ushered to a table to accommodate our party size. Twenty five minutes later, we were approached by our waitress, who stared down one of my friends and said "are you just going to stare at me or order something?" Six waters, two Guinness, an Irish mule, and a Hibiscus mule was our order. The waters came five ish minutes later, followed by half foam Guinness pours 10 minutes later, followed by the mules another 10 minutes later. The restaurant closed at 9:00, and we received our food around 9:10pm. Service: 1 star. I don't know if you can even call it service due to the being trapped in a Bennigan's for almost three hours- our server failed to write down the full order and was unable to separate checks, incorrectly sent our order to the kitchen completely forgetting items, being unaware of the menu and allergies (responded with "I don't know" to allergen related questions instead of asking?) Atmosphere- quiet, barren, and for being next to a hotel where guests are warning other guests not to come in? Not a good look. Note- there were maybe three other tables in the restaurant; a four top, a four top, and a two top. The bar had three guests and one to go order. Call it poor management for not having enough service staff for this sort of "rush", call it overall lackluster service and mediocre food, call it whatever you will. It was an absolute abysmal experience, one I will absolutely be avoiding for the rest of my life, and I hope, god willing, others do the same.
