    I normally don't leave bad reviews, but this experience was absolutely ridiculous. I ordered a simple side salad and asked to add steak because he said they don't carry chicken breast and the only protein available was a steak. I expected a reasonable upcharge--maybe $10, $15 tops. Instead, I was shocked to see I was charged $40 just to add steak to a side salad. That's more than the price of most full entrées on the menu! There are plenty of restaurants in town that offer better quality and treat their customers with more honesty. I won't be coming back.

    Pom Frites at the bar
    Shannon J.

    Overall, good experience. I had a very attentive waitress sitting at the bar. Portion was on the small side for the price but everything was delicious. Homemade tzatziki sauce was so good with the Pom frites. You won't regret getting the lobster risotto!

    Chicken salad sandwich and fries
    Ginger G.

    Okay, note my friend was hungry me not so much. However, I felt like it was only right to order something light and small. The croissant was stuffed with chicken salad and bacon. It wasn't until I took a bite that I instantly regretted eating breakfast. This had to be the best chicken salad I have ever eaten. The bacon was sweet, not something I'm fond of or could eat apart from the sandwich but it paired exceptionally. The fries were delicious too! Being I was traveling for work I didn't take the remaining half to go but gave my compliments to the chef. I'm going back here just for this sandwich and I'm going to make sure I'm hungry! It was soooooo good! Note that the service was excellent and we really enjoyed the ambiance. It was quaint. The whole town is definitely a vibe!

    Great find! Good everything, we ordered to share so we tried many dishes. Tuna and salmon were soft and juicy. Lobster roll on a great bun.

    I'm a bit late in posting this but you know....life. About a month ago we celebrated my birthday…read morewith a dinner at Elliott's. There were 10 of us including my very young grandchildren. We were seated in a back room at a long table, one of three. This room was warm and lovely. One table was already occupied, the other filled up shortly before we finished. From start to finish, our dining experience was wonderful. We did not have to worry about our little ones disrupting other guests, as the other party had little ones too. Our server, Madeline, was absolutely perfect! She was attentive without being intrusive. She had a good sense of humor and guided out decisions for food when we asked. She served us promptly and with a smile and made us feel so welcomed. I wish I could remember what everyone else ordered but I do know that my Pork Schnitzel was incredible! Also huge so I had enough for another meal the next day. When I return I will order the same thing. My husband brought a birthday cake in for me and our server brought that out at the end of the meal with plates and forks for everyone. We forced her to take a piece for her break, which she goodnaturedly did. There is only one tiny tiny thing to mention: It did take a long while for the 5 year old's drink and food to arrive. Not anyone's fault, it was very very busy. But try to explain that to a 5 year old. Rolls were served but they were too spicy for her. Or maybe the butter was spicy? Maybe feed your little ones something beforehand if you go on a busy weekend night, as we did. Kudos to the kitchen for pleasing so many different tastes so much, and for management for hiring Madeline who is a great asset to your restaurant.

    Hopping restaurant located on a posh residential street about a mile out of the village. The decor…read moreis eclectic (I dined under a large, colorful Dr. Seuss print) with fairly closely-spaced tables that keep the room buzzing. There's an upscale bar in the entry that had several seats open even when the tables were all full. I started with the crab hush puppies. What's not to like about fried dough after all, but I didn't really get much crab flavor out of them. The buttermilk and corn preparation came through more. The entree was a showstopper, though - grilled elk chops with a pomegranate glaze and country mashed potatoes. They were scrumptious, and the al dente vegetables cooked in with the potatoes gave them a nice toothsomeness. One of the best entrees I've had in quite some time. It's nice when a menu gives you a protein choice you don't see everywhere. Parking is fine, with a paved lot in front and spaces on either side of the adjacent street. Service was welcoming and efficient.
