Elizabeth’s Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in East Windsor

We had a friend from out of town and thought it would be great to take him out to one of my favorite restaurants.. I have gone myself during the week and have always had great service, however tonight we arrived and decide to sit at the bar and have dinner. We ordered drinks old fashioned for the three of us and the first round of drinks were great! which were made by the bar back! then ordered our meals and waited for their signature warm bread in a basket but that never came until we had to ask for it toward the end of our meal. One of the guest I was with ordered his steak medium-rare and when our meals came it was most definitely not cooked to order at the most it was medium lending itself to the more medium - well done side. When we asked the bartender Alex about the way the steak was cooked , she was confrontational. I enjoyed my meal however I have ordered the Gorgonzola penne previously and it had roasted red peppers this time around it only had one roasted red pepper in it. Then we told the bartender who served us, Alex that the steak was not cooked to our preference she told us " that is cooked correctly" instead of trying to accommodate us she proceeded to call my guest rude for asking for the bread and he waited 30 min for a seltzer with lemon. We then ordered a second round of Old Fashioned which were absolutely terrible and made by the bartender Alex and not of any quality compared to the first round made by her bar back. she then insulted my guest who did not speak a word to her except to ask her for what we would expect from Elizabeths in regards to quality & Service. I am writing this Review because I have always loved the food and have often ordered it at home while I am working. However I must say tonights display of customer service & value and brand reputation has showed me that Elizabeths does not value customer loyalty. I am for sure a disappointed loyal customer who brings consistent business and will no longer be dining at this...

We have eaten at Elizabeth's several times in the last 6 months to a year. Almost always for dinner. Today we went for lunch. The menu is an all day menu so they don't distinguish between lunch and dinner choices or prices.

The food is good. I wouldn't say very good but it's warm and tasty. The salads come out on a cold, cold plate, which is a very nice touch. Maybe someone there can see if there's a new place to get rolls and/or bread from for bread baskets. The rolls were okay. Certainly not memorable.

So this is my complaint: My favorite meal there has been a fettuccine Bolognese. Very nicely priced at $19.99 and that includes the salad and bread. At dinnertime, the fettuccine Bolognese was bursting with the Bolognese sauce. The fettuccine was buried in there somewhere! Today at lunch, I had the total opposite experience. Tons of fettuccine but I had to dig to look for the Bolognese. Weird, I know, since they've been rather generous with their portion at dinnertime. So I'm not sure if it's a lunch thing or if I just got a stingy chef. ☹️ I would love to come back again for the Bolognese but I'm not sure if the portion will be generous, which it usually is, or stingy, which is what I got today. All for the same price, whether dinner or lunch. So that's my main complaint. Consistency in portion sizes. To go from a bowl brimming with goodness to a bowl half full with almost all pasta, it was a little jarring. So please have the chefs be more consistent please!!!

I'll come back and eat there again. Not right away, though. This is one area they could work on. And the suggestion of a new place for the bread or rolls. Hope they see this critique and will address it with the...

After I read all the other reviews I thought Hey why not try it for date night. The best part of the whole night was our waitress she had a great personality, she was checking on us just the right amount of times, and she took our order quickly. The plating of our food was excellent BUT unfortunately the food didn't match the plating. I ordered a Portuguese steak and shrimp plate, 2 out of the 3 shrimps were like rubber the steak itself I could have gotten a better steak in the grocery store so spending $30 on it was quite a disappointment, It was stiff and grizzly i ate maybe half because I was starving and then had to stop my jaw started to hurt from all the chewing,but it was cooked right I asked for medium so it just had to be a bad cut of beef, the Roasted potatoes were bland tasted like they were boiled first and then roasted but definitely a lack of seasoning, the best part of that dish would be the broccoli and green beans with a touch of lemon. My husband had a fish dish which he thought was really good till the next morning he ended up with an upset stomach and in the bathroom for most of the day so wondering if maybe the fish was a little undercooked, not quite sure can't say one way or the other. All I can say is thank God for our waitress she made the night for us otherwise I would have given this place one star. I hope they get to see this post and make some improvements, Don't see this post as a criticism but as a way to improve you're a...
