" I've been to Elie's a few times and my experiences have varied. The first visit was amazing, with delicious dishes and attentive service. On my second visit, however, my meal took too long and my server was a bit inattentive. This past visit, we were greeted warmly, and the food was fantastic, but I did witness a few people have issues at neighboring tables. Overall, the food is worth the visit, but I hope they can improve the consistency in service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I tried Elie's and were impressed by the meal overall. We particularly loved the lamb shank, slow-cooked and bursting with savory flavors. The service was prompt, and the ambiance warm and inviting. The only flaw was that I found the grape leaves a bit too sour for my taste. However, I would highly recommend the restaurant for its authentic fare and beautiful environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my latest visit to Elie's, I was really disappointed. While I had high hopes based on previous visits, this time the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in providing good service. My order was incorrect, and when I mentioned this to our server, his attitude was dismissive. The food took ages to arrive, and when it did, it wasn't even warm. Although the flavors were on point, the service needs significant improvement to match the restaurant's potential. Sad face. " (*Curated Review*)

" Elie's is hands down the best Lebanese restaurant I've ever encountered! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the authentic flavors of their dishes transport me straight to Lebanon with every bite. I had the chance to try their stuffed grape leaves and lamb shawarma, which were both incredibly flavorful and perfectly seasoned. The staff was friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Elie's has become my go-to spot for Lebanese food in the area! The lamb chops are a must-try—they are cooked to perfection with just the right spices. The ambiance is intimate, and the hunger-inducing aroma that fills the dining area is lovely. While I’ve noticed the service can be hit or miss depending on the time, it doesn't overshadow the incredible food. Each time I've visited, I leave satisfied and eager to return for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience! My partner and I tried Elie's for the first time last week, and we both loved it. The food is authentic and flavorful, reflecting the rich traditions of Lebanese cuisine. We shared a mezze platter that featured dolmas, falafel, and tzatziki — each item was so fresh! The ambiance felt upscale without being pretentious, making it a perfect spot for date night. We can't wait to come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Elie's, given its reputation. While the food was generally good, with a delicious combination of flavors, some of the dishes were not as warm as I expected. The service was slow, likely due to the busy crowd, and the tables felt a bit crowded. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for some authentic Mediterranean flavors, but I'll think twice for peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
