   ELY is a standout dining destination that combines exceptional food with a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the staff's warm welcome and attentive service set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The star of the menu was, without a doubt, the steak. A true masterpiece, it was perfectly cooked to my exact preference and oozed flavor with every bite. The tender, juicy cut was seasoned impeccably and seared to perfection, leaving a subtle smokiness that elevated the dish. Accompanied by chips, a rich red wine jus, and crisp seasonal greens, the meal was as well-balanced as it was indulgent. Beyond the steak, ELY's menu is diverse and thoughtfully curated. The starter of caramelized scallops was a delightful surprise, with a touch of citrus that enhanced their sweetness. For dessert, the chocolate mousse with a velvety texture and rich cocoa flavor offered a refreshing finish. While ELY's prices reflect its premium quality, the exceptional flavors and top-tier service make it worth every euro. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving an excellent meal, ELY delivers an experience that’s second to none. A must-visit for steak lovers and food enthusiasts alike!

   Excellent menu, small but in that perfect. We frequently grab a coffee as we are walking the dogs or stop by for a fabulous bottle of wine but it was our first chance for a date night. It didn't disappoint

   Lovely atmosphere for a dinner date and catch up. Food portions were just right and the flavours of our starters and mains were 10/10 and lovely cocktails too. We will definitely be back ☺️

   The lunch menu was very limited. The only proper meals on offer were chicken burger or fish & chips. The rest of the menu was made up avo eggs, granola, soup, salad and sandwiches. A bit disappointing as this was a Christmas lunch meet. We had the fish & chips, the hake had a lovely light tempura batter which was delicious, chips were tasty but the tartar sauce was a bit light on the capers which made it creamy rather than tangy. It really needed a side as the portion was small. We had the sticky toffee pudding and cheese plate. Sticky toffee was a little dry but had good flavour but there was no toffee sauce!! Service was good

   A great place to meet friends for afternoon lunch/brunch. The quality of food was excellent and atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting. Great value with a great selection of wines. Thanks to everyone in Ely, we will be back.

   We have been to Ely many times and had a good experience. Last lnight was not great. Two of our five small plates were too oily and not edible. Wine is always good. As we were upstairs we could hear the chefs in the kitchen swearing whil chit chatting. Not something I enjoy when paying 110+ for dinner. I know it's hard to get godd staff but you asked for my feedback.
