We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch.

My wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday at Eleven. We were not disappointed. Everything was wonderful! We started early with $9 cocktails at the bar. We had Martinis with Plymouth Gin for only $9. They were great! Then we got $9 glasses of wine to take to our table. We ordered oysters to start, and they tasted so fresh, sweet & briny. My wife had the pork chop and I had the radiatori. They were both delicious. Finally, we had the Trio of Ice Creams with very rich & creamy vanilla bean, lavender honey, & maple brown walnut butter. They were all so good. Nick, our server was excellent too. He never rushed us, but he seemed to be always there to ask if everything was OK and if we needed anything.

Everything was great except the lobster bisque. It tasted more like tomato soup. The steak was very good. The waitress was terrific.

Had an excellent dinner here while in town for a conference as this was located in our hotel. Menu was diverse but also had some staple items which is nice when travelling. I enjoyed the Lumpia appetizer and the Egyptian entree, both very tasting and well presented. The cocktails were well crafted and the server friendly and personable. Thank you for a nice dinner!

The small plates and charcuterie were wonderful. We always love trying a bunch of different things so having a variety of small plates and shareable was a treat! Our server was friendly and very helpful, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the seating was cozy but didn’t feel cramped
