Elli's Great American Restaurant offers a refreshed menu and updated interiors, though some guests still miss the old Chocolate Mousse. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The outdoor patio is heated, making it a great spot for private parties or relaxing outside. The restaurant provides ample parking, kid-friendly meals, and good wheelchair accessibility. Guests have enjoyed dishes like the BBQ chicken salad, flatbread salad with perfectly cooked flatbread, and the new FISH AND CHIPS, which received praise for the seasoned chips, delicious fish, and superb coleslaw. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, especially during breakfast when visitors appreciate the great avocado toast with egg. Desserts displayed in cases attract many customers, adding to the overall positive experience. Reviewers describe the service as lovely, kind, and personable, with staff who make customers feel welcomed. While weekends may bring longer wait times, the food is praised as really good with generous portions.
