   Six of us ate at Elsie’s after our annual visit to the Bradley Estate’s Winterlights, and it was awesome. We were tucked into a corner of their cozy dining area, which was perfect as two of our party have hearing issues that make noisy restaurants problematic. Elsie’s was truly not noisy, and everything else was awesome. From the cocktails to the wine list to the food. Oh my gosh, the food is SO good. I shared the arugula-pear salad with a friend, and they split it onto two beautifully arranged plates. My husband got a half-Caesar, which was plenty big. And it’s a lightly grilled Caesar salad- so delicious (I tasted it). I got the scallops for dinner - delicious and just the right size portion. Everyone loved their food, from chicken Marsala to salmon, to ravioli - all fabulous. We will make Elsie’s Table part of our annual tradition, and any time we are down in that area, it will be our first choice.

   I'm always happy to find a new restaurant that's close to us on the south shore. Elsie's popped up on Open Table and I was able to get us a reservation for 6:00 on a Saturday night. The place itself is adorable and very small. I didn't count the number of tables, but maybe 10 in total, including a few high tops. The French onion soup was delicious. They were kind enough to substitute veal for chicken parm as they had veal that night and it was very good. My husband had the Bolognese which was also good but not enough sauce (he could have asked for more, I'm sure). Our biggest surprise, and not a welcome one, was the cost of our Manhattans, which were $21 each with a $6 surcharge for Angel's Envy bourbon. You can probably do the math and figure that these were more expensive than the same on Nantucket Island. I don't know if that was a mistake, but if it was, I am happy to chat with the owner. If not, I would advise sticking to the food!

   We have been wanting to go here since they opened but never planned ahead to make reservation. It was worth the wait. Started with Caesar salad small, enough for two to split, it was amazing. Croutons were made from corn bread, very tasty. We got the Pollo parm and Bolognese….Fantastic. Split Tiramisu and Almond Joy martini- Courtney our server was amazing, very attentive and helpful on choices. The restaurant is small and cozy, you need a reservation. This place was like finding a hidden gem. I am planning on going back often. Can’t say enough good things about it

    Thank you to everyone at Elsie’s Table. My sister and I went there for the first, but definitely not the last, time. The cocktails were wonderful, and We both ordered the chicken marsala, which was also delicious. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming - the staff couldn’t have been nicer. We plan to return again very soon. Thank you!!
