Elie's Cafe — Restaurant in Monona

Had a great experience here when my wife and I took off work right before Christmas. Was not super busy when we got there at about 8 am that Friday but it slowly picked up while we were there. Food tasted really good. Server was very friendly and gave the perfect level of service by talking us through the menu and waiting on us and checking on us when needed. It looks fairly recently renovated so it has a nice relaxing vibe on the inside. Talking with the waitress everything is made to order and a lot of it is their own recipes.

Had to take our kitty to the vet this morning for some routine surgery and decided to stop in here for breakfast because the menu looked pretty good. This lovely place exceeded our expectations!

The diced breakfast potatoes had a nice crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, my chili cheese omelette and my boyfriend's skillet were great, sausage patties had great flavor, and the biscuits and gravy are the best I've had at a restaurant, pretty close to my grandma's homemade gravy, and the biscuits were so moist inside! Definitely top quality ingredients! Everything we had tasted homemade! I definitely recommend coming here for breakfast a hundred times over! We'll be back next time we're in the area... Heck, we'll probably make some special trips...

Ate here for the very first time. There were 5 people in out group plus a toddler. We did not know we were going to have as many as we did, The staff was wonderful about us changing tables and then adding another table. The service was lovely, and kept upcoffee and refills The food was wonderful as well. We were a family group who have not been all together in awhile so we tied up the seating for almost 3 hrs. We would have left sooner if the space was needed. The entire staff we encountered were attentive and friendly. Sadly I do not know how soon I will visit again as I live 70miles away BUT I will most definitely go there again when I am in the area. Very clean, nice decor LOVE the restroom! This is a lovely gem of an...
