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!
If you're looking for great food, delicious drinks and a good atmosphere. Head to Eli's! We have never had an issue at this establishment. The food is always great (try the chicken bites!) The drinks NEVER disappoint and the service is amazing! I am a bit picky, we had a server once, Dante, who was very kind and patient with my ridiculous needs. A few weeks later, we returned and he remembered all of my allergies and what I didnt like from pur last visit. Needless to say we ask for Dante every time we go in. He's outgoing, funny and super attentive. Ask for him by name! However, I'm sure all the other servers are great! We had a server named Danielle once and she was awesome too.
Because of the great service we have always recieved from Dante, I've even booked my corporate Holiday parties here.
Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

I sat at the bar a few weeks ago and Taylor was the bartender. She was super friendly and served my drinks/ food super fast, and the drinks were great. Thank you so much!

We had such a great time thanks to our server, Kami (sorry if I’m spelling that wrong!). She was so kind to my friends and really made our night — it felt like she genuinely cared, and her energy made everything even better. The food was also amazing! We got the boneless wings and the chicken parm, and both were so delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back, both for the food and for the awesome service.

What an outstanding delicious experience!! I haven’t been here in over 35 years, but I’ll be sure to come back sooner . The Shirley Temple drinks were delicious and the wings were phenomenal.The burgers on point, the fries were great and the price was reasonable . May I add the waiter Dante was professional, pleasant and funny. We had a great time and would return and tell others. Who knew, wings at Eli’s!!! OMG I had very clean bathrooms and this establishment. The only downfall is that it’s crowded, you have to park on the side street and walk a block.
Restaurantji Recommends
Interior & exterior would make you believe this restaurant is a typical CT bar. There are TVs everywhere, so even the experience itself matches that perception. But…the food itself is actually what I would describe as somewhat elevated. We were pleasantly surprised at just how good the food was. Would definitely recommend and plan on returning.
Kid-friendliness: I know for a fact that they offer kids menus, but they refused to give one.

The best Grilled Chicken “Panino” I have ever had!! Flavors were delicious. A light sandwich that didn’t make you feel like a load after you ate it. The bread was soft and fluffy. The chicken was cooked perfect. Just a great sandwich!! Couldn’t out it down once I took a bite so the picture is after I inhaled it ☺️
