Bistro Elan is a member of that most elusive club of always sought after seldom found neighborhood gems where the food is exquisite, the service excellent, the dining room tiny — though there are a few more tables outside— and the clientele quiet well dressed locals who have eaten there for years, never having been disappointed. The menu that changes with the seasons is always surprising but never overdone. The food is interesting but above all delicious and the portions are...
Bistro Elan is always delightful. It's our date night spot! The food is consistently excellent, beautifully presented, and perfectly prepared. We love our server — always the same gentleman. He knows us, remembers our daughter's name and asks about her. It's just a lovely, comfortable, delicious experience, every time.
Love this delightful little bistro, which transported us from the cares and chaos of today's world. The food is excellent, with the seafood in particular prepared deftly, as is the service. Most everything is made in house including the delightful almond cake, which is not to be missed.
