    EXCEPTIONAL. Wonderful server that was so kind and attentive. Food was coursed out flawlessly and everything was flavorful and exceeded all my expectations. This place is a five minute drive away from me, and I cannot believe it took me so long to get in and have a meal. Already eagerly awaiting my next visit to Elina’s.

    I had our reservations for a very long time, I checked to see what the discount was for parking. That was when I saw your hours posted on your website. We almost didn't show up because your website is wrong on your hours. You may want to correct that, you would have more people dining. So happy we did show up, the food was fab! Our server was the best and I haven't been there in 50 yrs. In fact I would love the recipe for the mayo served with the smash burger. Thank you.....

    My second time here, made to feel even more special than the first. The wait staff was, knowledgeable, prompt, attentive, professional and friendly. When asked for a suggestion, the selections were spot on. When asked for a personal opinion, they made answered insightfully with the customer in mind. And I can not speak enough of the GM Anna, who delightfully visited our table multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. The vibrant flavors compliment the subtly jubilant atmosphere and its five star staff. Good music, not so loud to drown out a conversation, yet not so quiet to uncomfortably hear the next table over. The lighting is easy on the eyes, but not too dark. And the creative cocktails are made with precision and care. Everything about this place exemplifies the joys of dining out. It is now my go-to restaurant to bring friends, dates, business dinners, etc. I cant wait to return.
