A Surprising Culinary gem with a View! With a name like Elaine's Cocktail Kitchen, we were anticipating a great bar scene but we were pleasantly surprised to discover the wonderful dinner venue they offer. The setting is absolutely beautiful, located right downtown with a fantastic view of the old, iconic water tower, creating the perfect ambiance for a special night out. We started the evening with cocktails while we perused the menu. For an appetizer, we chose the Caviar and Chips, which was a delightful and luxurious start to our meal. For the main course, I ordered the 6 oz Angus beef filet with blue cheese butter. It was an excellent cut of meat and cooked to perfection. The filet was accompanied by delicious crushed marble potatoes and fresh tomato salad, which complemented the rich steak beautifully. My wife had the blackened salmon, served with corn pudding, quinoa, blistered tomatoes, and a vibrant basil pistou. She was equally impressed with her dish. The entire experience was elevated by the 5-star service. Our waitress, Gracie, was wonderful attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel perfectly taken care of all evening.

Read moreAbsolutely incredible experience at Elaine’s Cocktail Kitchen!
First of all, the location is beautiful. It has such a great atmosphere that feels both upscale and relaxed. But what really blew me away was the food. Amy, the chef, is extremely talented. You can tell she pours her heart into every dish.
I had the horchata French toast, and let me tell you, I’m a total French toast snob and this was hands down the best one I’ve ever had. Perfectly fluffy, flavorful, and unique with that horchata twist.
I also tried the espresso martini, and as someone who’s also very picky about those, it was soooo good, creamy, smooth, and the perfect balance of espresso and sweetness.
Everything from start to finish was amazing. You can really feel the love and creativity behind this place. 10/10, can’t...
