Elaine's Restaurant and Bar

Oh my God! This is the place I've been searching for. My years long hunt for 'authentic' Carbonara pasta is over. This restaurant is a perfect blend of comfortable surroundings, upscale finishes, and well presented, lovingly prepared cuisine. Wrapped in lovely ambience with friendly service dining here is a delight.

Service from the moment you walk in till the time you leave is unmatched. Friendly, helpful,
and curious. The food was very good. Skip the tricolor cheese cake. Drinks are pricey at about 19.99 . Short ribs are excellent, but on the dry side, ask for sauce. Blistered Shishito pepper is very good. Bronx meatball ok meatballs needed to be taster love peppers they put on it.

Our party of 4 had a reservation last night at 5. Upon arrival and check in we were told that WE had made a mistake and the reservation was for tonight at 5. We mentioned to the hostess whom we had made the reservation with (Enzo). They told us that they could seat us but we would have to be done by 6:45 to accommodate the next reservation and we said that would be fine. After waiting an additional 10 minutes they came back and told us they had to call the owner, Elaine, at home to get approval to seat us. Finally, at 5:30 (after standing and waiting for 1/2 hour) they came back and said they still hadn’t gotten approval from Elaine. We didn’t feel welcome. No one offered us a seat in the bar (which was empty) while the situation was straightened out. We decided to leave and had a delicious dinner elsewhere which appreciated our business. The unfortunate part is that this was our 1st (and last) time at the restaurant and we wanted to check it out for my nieces upcoming baby shower. Terrible, terrible service.

The food is absolutely phenomenal, as well as the service. Tess was so attentive, courteous, and knowledgeable of the menu. I will definitely be returning to try more from the menu.

We had a 10/10 dinner experience! The ambiance and the vibe was just so amazing, the lighting, the music, the decor. Everything was perfect! And the food was out of this world, I had the carbonara and my husband the burger. Both so so so delicious, we’ll be back again and again!!

This restaurant is amazing and one of my new favorites! The staff is so attentive and made my sister's birthday celebration so special, especially our waitress Julia. Everything from the zucchini chips appetizer to the halibut main course to the drinks are perfectly done and delicious - you can tell how much time and care goes into the preparation. Elaine and Enzo are so welcoming and made our celebration truly special. We will be back again and again and can't recommend Elaine's enough!

UPDATE:
Someone in our party got food poisoning!

I wish I could say more because it’s a very nice looking restaurant and it’s very convenient to where I live, but it’s very mediocre very average at best. Gave it a try for a second time service was a little better than the first time. food was not great. Prices are a bit high $65 for a strip steak. I thought it was a bit much, especially because it almost tasted bad the meat. Hopefully they could turn it around.

We had a lovely dinner the other night. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was decorated simply but fancy. There is a oversized painting of Elaine on one wall so you know where you are eating.
The salad and pasta carbonara were excellent as well as the meatball appetizer. The mushroom ravioli was a little dissapointing as I expected the brown sage sauce to be a little thicker. It was more like soup than sauce, but still enjoyable.

I had a fantastic experience with friends at this restaurant and would highly recommend it for various occasions such as birthdays, special dinners, friend meetups, or even a romantic date.

The restaurant boasts an elegant and stylish design, creating a cozy yet celebratory atmosphere.
We were lucky and one table in the bar area was free and we chose it.
I think if you are going to dinner on the weekend, it is better to make a reservation.

The music was pleasant and not too loud, allowing for easy conversation during our meal.
The service was friendly, fast, and unobtrusive, which enhanced our dining experience.

We indulged in a delicious pizza and two generous salads, all of which were impeccably balanced and flavorful.
The crispy pizza crust and delightful salad combinations left a lasting impression.
To top it off, the dessert was a delightful.
If you like ice cream with caramel and coffee, this is for you.

Furthermore, the convenient free parking and outdoor seating added to the overall appeal of the restaurant.

I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a combination of great food and service, and a pleasant ambiance.
