HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We have been here twice in the past month; once with friends and once just my husband and myself. Both times were excellent. The food and drinks were amazing, the staff were so friendly and professional and the atmosphere was great. The prices are very reasonable also. This is one of our new favorites. Thank you for a good experience.

Stopped by Eli’s on Whitney on Saturday with my family in between basketball games, looking for a quick but satisfying lunch, and it definitely delivered.
We started with the buffalo wings and the pulled pork nachos. The nachos were fantastic and honestly the highlight of the meal. The cheese sauce was really good, and what stood out most was how well they were layered. Every single chip had something on it, which is not always the case with nachos, and it made a big difference. If I had to nitpick, I’d say a little more meat would have been nice, but overall they were delicious and a great portion for the price.
The wings were solid with good flavor and cooked well, though they didn’t completely blow me away. Still enjoyable. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and thought it was very good. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich and enjoyed it, my mother-in-law had a salad she was happy with, and both kids ordered chicken bites with fries from the kids’ menu and cleaned their plates.
Service was wonderful. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. We went around 12:30 and the restaurant wasn’t crowded at all. We were seated immediately, which was a big plus given our schedule.
Overall, it was a really good experience with tasty food, reasonable prices, and great service. I would definitely go back again.

Great food, bad service. Sat at the bar that had a total of 5-10 people throughout our visit while the two bartenders ignored us for the majority of the visit. Before getting the check we had empty glasses for roughly 30 min without getting checked on.

Had a company party. The lot was full, and from what I could see, pretty small. A lot of us just parked on the street or in another nearby lot. Inside, we were directed to.a downstairs room. The room was a decent size for our party. We had maybe 8 tables with seating for 8 people each. There was warm basket of bread and softened butter. We had a bartender that my boss was convinced had an attitude with him! I don't know...it was ki da weird, but he was nice enough to go search for a prosecco for me! The food.was buffet style. We had eggplant parm, stuffs fish, chicken parm, potatoes ,veggies, salad with a delicious creamy balsamic dressing that I wanted to pick the bowl, and some other stuff i don't remember. Dessert was a flacky apple tart. There was also a coffee bar. The staff was friendly and professional. I think it was a hit.

Went to pickup and order and everyone here seems to be in a bad mood, is it their new uniforms? I noticed they wear one now. Nevertheless, they could improve the service and maybe have a smile? I'm not really asking too much, just be friendlier.

Very nice restaurant. The staff is fantastic ready to offer advice on specials and entrees. Plenty of wine and beer options.

This is not a family friendly restaurant. The hostess tried to stick our family (2 toddlers) in an empty back room when the main part of the restaurant was wide open.

We watched the manager visit all other tables to see how they were liking their experience. He never stopped to see how we were enjoying our meal. Dining area feels like a cafeteria. Eggplant parm was chewy and undercooked. Boneless wings were good.

Our office went out to lunch today and had an amazing experience with Brandon. He was attentive, asked all the right questions, kept our drinks refilled, and checked in with us multiple times. I would go back just to have Brandon as our server again. Looking forward to our next visit!

Nachos came out with queso and chicken cold. Waitress had no idea what she was doing. Ordered a bottle of wine. Had to open and pour it ourselves. Dinner came out and they forgot my meal. The absolute worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Its no wonder everyone goes to Haven. Stay away!
