We hosted a party yesterday afternoon into the evening. Erin was an amazing server extremely attentive and pleasant. She swept and cleaned up so diligently afterwards. The party planner Brianna was awful sorry to say. The communication with Brianna was so subpar and she was misinformed and told us inaccurate cost estimates, could only be reached through email and it took days to even communicate one simple thing. She quoted us more people than we told her were going to be there and did not fix the quote so we ended up paying for more people then were there. We almost cancelled the party as a result but I’m glad we didn’t because Erin the server/hostess was truly amazing and made it an excellent experience.

Save your money and time. Unless you want to get publicly humiliated. My friend and I were joining a few others for apps and wings. Two people at the table were drinking, my friend and I weren’t. We were told to move our seats when I asked for an explanation, as to why. The older gentleman (bouncer I believe ) yelled at us and told us to get out. I just want to understand why if 2 out of 5 people weren’t drinking why we couldn’t all still sit at a dinning table outside together? Completely understand if we were seated at a bar, or if we were underage. Two 26 year olds just tryna order some wings with friends turned into a very humiliating experience.

A friend and I were treated very disrespectfully, they lack professionalism, and have rude employees. Won’t be coming back.

First timers. Went by to see Beyond Blondie band. Loved the place! Wish I had the chance to play when I was in a band! Great room, great vibe. Half the fun was finding your way to the music! You'll see, just go!

I went into Eli’s for the first time in seven years of being over 21 in the state of Connecticut. I went there with a group of my work friends to celebrate one of our work friends birthday. I walked in with the birthday girl and was immediately carded. Tried to explain. We only were going to order food because we did not have our IDs on us. We went to try and join our friends and the man that was at the door checking our IDs had followed us, and he was very rude to me and my friend told us we could not sit with our friends. We cannot sit with them. We had to sit alone and then told us we had to leave when we told him we wanted to sit with our friends. I don’t know if it was because my friend was Nigerian and had dark skin or if it was simply because the man was in a bad mood or what his excuse was, but that was no way to treat a customer. I will never be going back again, I was embarrassed. He pointed his finger in my face, and I felt very insulted and belittled in front of everyone I will never recommend this place to my friend because of the way me and my friend were treated. First and last time ever going there Zero out of 10 stars -10 rating on professional, professionalism, and compassion for customers

It's definitely a bar on the inside but the back patio is almost like a different place all together. Inside was dark and was certainly a bar in Middletown but the outside patio area was very cute, clean and homie. Food was good and the service was fast and efficient. We were there on a Tuesday night and it was at about half capacity. Will certainly be going again!
They have a policy now that they won't split checks. This makes paying a bill with a group much harder and more inconvenient. Other than this it's a great place. The outside area is great in the summer.
