Great service and nice atmosphere. Nice noise level great to be able to have a conversation. The seafood is hit and miss with its freshness. Some oysters very fresh some others a little old. Seafood plateau, the salmon not fresh, rest was predictable. Carpacio was pretty but a little salty. Mac and cheese very good. Gnocchi very good. Steak was nice but could have used a little more salt. Branzino small portion and not that fresh. Deserts were ok.

Excellent dining experience. Made a reservation and we were seated promptly with coat service. Seafood Tower and drinks were excellent. Prime rib and steak were perfectly medium rare. Service is attentive, atmosphere is chic casual. Server provided complimentary birthday treats desserts. Top notch dining and no hesitation to recommend Elisa.

It was my boyfriend’s birthday, and I wanted the evening to feel special for him. The food was great and the service was okay, but we felt disappointed by the difference in how we were treated. We weren’t expecting anything extra, just equal treatment.
We even had some small talk with our server, and she knew it was his birthday. Other tables celebrating received a plate with a candle and a “happy birthday” message—even the couple right beside us—yet we didn’t get anything. Our dessert arrived with no candle and no acknowledgement at all.
It really took away from the experience, and it was quite disappointing.

It was my birthday, and one of our very few nights out my husband and I have had without our 6 month old baby. Our server did everything to ensure we had a special evening including complementary bubbles (my husband doesn't drink and they even had alcohol-free!) I wish I remembered our server's name - he had a beard and tattoos. What a splendid night out, thank you SO much.

The place was very crowded and loud. It was hard for me to hear my boyfriend. It gave me migraines afterwards.
Food was good but could be better. I like to eat a very simple salad before a steak, the salad was very heavy. But that is my personal choice.
They initially brought bread and butter. Both were very good but I don’t like to eat bread before the meat.
We ate bison tartare as appetizer, it was very very good but I think it could be even better without the bread. I think a great steak place shouldn’t even have bread in the kitchen.
Yet, i think. the food was good if eaten separately. It just didn’t have the flow that I expected.
One last thing, their olive oil was very good. You can understand if an olive oil is good if it hurts your throat. The olive oil they brought next to the butter was amazing.
Overall my biggest disappointment is the atmosphere.
The waiter was very nice!

Truffle Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts were good. The dry aged steak was ok, it was less flavorful and a bit overcooked than I expected. We asked for medium rare and it looked more like medium or medium well. Maybe because when we make steak at home, we use herbs and aromatics to flavor the steak instead of only salt and pepper. The bread for the classic tartare was more charred than I’d like

Food was wonderful, and the patio seating was a good choice too! The potato and grass fed blue dot beef from Prince Edward Island was one of the best steaks we tried lately. Next time will try the Pine Haven steak from Alberta.

Depends on the day & customers present at the time of the day
Came here for a birthday dinner and was disappointed with the service. Waitress barely came by (waited for 30+ minutes at a time), didn’t give any rundowns of the menu, and just seemed unengaged. For such a high end restaurant I expected a lot better. That being said, the food was amazing.

Very nice steakhouse. Prices are very steep Our sweet son took hubby and I there for our birthday dinners. Service was very attentive and through. We had the porterhouse and ribeye. Sides included roasted potatoes carrots and onion rings. A nice evening all around

We arrived at Elisa around 7pm and were greeted by a lady at the entrance. She took our name and told us to walk around, saying she would call when a table was available. Since I had an infant and a toddler, I followed her advice and went for a walk in the neighborhood for about an hour. During that time, we noticed empty tables on the patio and also saw guests being moved from the bar to dining tables inside. When we came back after an hour, the table still wasn’t ready, but the patio still had the same empty seats. We ended up waiting outside until 10pm, a total of three hours, and never received a single call or text. During that time, we saw empty tables sit unused and people being moved from the bar into dining tables. I even mentioned that we would be quick since we had two small children, but we were still not seated. What’s most frustrating is that she could have been honest from the beginning. If she had told us that we weren’t going to get a table that night, we wouldn’t have wasted our entire Friday evening with two hungry kids. We gave up and went to Gotham instead, where the front desk staff were professional and kind. The difference in service was very clear. This experience was extremely disappointing and felt discriminatory. Your front desk staff need better training in communication and professionalism so that no other guests have to go through this.
