Food was delicious and the employees were very nice. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts, coq au vin, the short rib, the pho, and the lava cake was delicious too. I found the space pretty interesting and spacious. Overall pretty great experience would come here again.

I was really excited to try this French fusion restaurant since it’s the first one I’ve come across. After reading so many 5-star reviews, I had high expectations and was genuinely looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, it was disappointing from the start. After being seated, it took over 15 minutes just to receive water, and from there, about 45 minutes for our food to arrive. When the plates finally came out, they didn’t live up to the wait. I ordered the Braised Short Ribs Bourguignon, but there were barely any carrots or beets included, which made the dish feel incomplete. The mango ceviche was also unbalanced, it had an overwhelming amount of shallots, serrano chili peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions, with very little shrimp and mango. The proportions were off, and it didn’t feel worth the price. Overall, I was really hoping for a better experience given the reviews, but sadly it didn’t meet expectations.

I had been to Elyse years ago at their old location. I brought my family to try the newer location and every person loved the food they got. From the appetizers to the main courses, there were no duds. The food is flavorful, the decor is tasteful, and the pricing is very fair. I love supporting small businesses and we will be back for sure.

Delicious appetizers came out quickly. Lots of veggie options. Waiter was attentive but not intrusive. Noise level was low at 6pm. Room temperature was cool for me. Easy parking in garage across the street. We look forward to going back.

The food here is really good. The salad nicoise and ceviche were good sized portions and quite good. The short rib bourguignon was an interesting fusion of French boeuf bourguignon and Vietnamese bò kho. It was super tender and the fries were nice and crispy.
The garlic noodles were tasty, though if you have small kids the flavor may be a bit too garlicky. The ambience was a bit strange because the place was large but not as bustling as you would expect on a Friday night. The tables are also a little high compared to the seat height, which made it difficult for the kids to eat.
Overall, a nice meal.

Very casual service, Roni was pleasant and chill, made great recommendations and we enjoyed dinner very much. Not only was the food tasty, but the dining room was spacious and tables weren’t too close to each other giving us a nice relaxing space to chat over a meal. We had really loved when E&O was here back in the day, and it’s wonderful knowing this place is still bringing an Asian vibe cuisine now as Elyse. I ordered the short rib and it was very hearty portion. My brother got the filet dish and we both had some togo. Lots of flavors to enjoy….and thx again to Roni for being so chill and positive.

We went for a birthday dinner for a party of 10 mid week. Service was slow we were informed they only had partial menu options. The food quality for appetisers was good . The entrees were good quality. We ordered lamb chops were excellent , beef stir fry ( was not great) . Seabass was great. So a combination of hit and miss.
Amazing food quality, great service, and such a unique fusion style! All of the food was delicious, especially the brussel sprouts. Non skip for San Jose <3
