Elize - Orlando

Elize was, as it always has been, excellent. Unfortunately that was the last night of operation. They are a victim of the pandemic. I am thankful that they existed in Orlando and it is a shame they weren't able to survive.

Food is always outstanding. Nathan delivers great service and is always welcoming.

It was a date during the protest and the pandemic, so the restaurant was quiet. Everything was terrific though. The restaurant feels great. It’s nice enough to be dressy or more casual. The bartender and server were friendly and helpful, and most importantly the food was fresh and tasty. We were especially pleased with how good the raw oysters were. One of the best restaurants in Orlando. It’s definitely going to be one of our regular places to eat downtown.

It was a lovely dinner, limited menu because of Covid-19. The staff and chef was so nice.

The hostess came over to our table to see if we had any menu questions. She ended up offering to pick our meal out if we trusted her. We are glad we did, she chose our food and wine pairings and everything was delicious. Even better than the food was the enthusiasm and love for the food that she shared with us. Only after we were done did we learn that she is the chef’s wife. It was a great meal and we will definitely be back.
