We had a small group dinner of work friends on what turned out to be a very cold night. The restaurant was warm and welcoming, the food amazing, and the service attentive without being intrusive. We'd definitely go there again!

Happily, Eleven has not missed a beat since our last visit. The food and service (Thank you, Breanna) remain at a high level. The signature chicken dish is tender and juicy, with just enough crispness to the crust. Risotto is perfection. The pork chop was served with root vegetables, slightly sweetened to offset the lightly salted coating of the pork. We shared the apple dessert. Wine-by-the-glass selections covered a wide enough range to please anyone.
