Elegance at 148 on Elles Restaurant — Restaurant in Invercargill City

I would think this is one of the more expensive restuarants in Invercargill, and it is worth every cent! From the time you walk in you are met and served by friendly and helpful staff. Firstly the food, we had a group of 8 and we could not fault any of the meals that were professional and pleasantly served. The chef also met many of the tables which was a great touch. I had the lamb rack which was cooked exactly as they should have been it was impeccable. This gentleman is certainly a chef and not a cook. The restuarant is warm and unlike its name is topend casual and very relaxing. I do note, for elderly cutomers, that there are stairs to get to the 2nd floor where the dinning room is and the restrooms are back down the stairs. It was nice to have a more 'mature' atmosphere which was wonderful. At first I was not sure about the glass covers on the tables, unusally for fine dinning. As the night went on I discovered it was a great idea as I did not end up with my normal mess and stains on the white tablecloth! I rate Elegance and recommend it highly. Best meal I have had in Invercargill and actually anywhere for quite some time. Well done team you should be proud of your efforts - see you on my next visit to Invercargill...

Loved it, The atmosphere and layout was clean elegant and well thought out, the food came out in a timely manner and all the dishes were amazing and consisted of locally grown and home grown produce with a theme and purpose in mind. The chefs did a great job and made my taste buds bubble with excitement. Sonya our waitress/manager was friendly, welcoming and knew what she was doing and made sure we were well looked after, absolutely incredible! Some of the chefs delivered our meals which was cool and also the executive chef was also walking around checking on all the tables making sure they were happy and having a quick chat while topping up waters, if I was a local I would definitely choose this a place for important dinners or a go to when I wanted a fine dining experience. 10/10 delicious, friendly, inviting. We will definitely be back next time we are down south. Thankyou so much. Also make sure you book as you don't want to miss out...

It was elegant!! Ambience with a beautiful interior. Decent space between tables, quiet background music, superb, friendly, "not in your face" discrete but attentive service and the food! OMG not a huge extensive menu to fret over but a balanced choice of food, presented divinely and the taste... flavour immense is how I would describe it. I'm normally a scoffer but went slow and actually put my cutlery down as I was enjoying it so much. Extensive choice of superb wines a plus and to top it off, being first floor at a window had a gorgeous winter view to the west; first a setting sun and then the lights of the city....
