I can’t rave about this restaurant enough. My husband and I live around the corner and feel so fortunate to have this gem so close and in such a small town. I’ve eaten at 111 many times and have never had a bad dish. Every meal is complex and elevated while somehow feeling honest and home cooked. Chris’s food is rich and hardy without ever feeling heavy while always being well balanced. Chris has a curated wine list and never fails at a stellar recommendation. The atmosphere is both casual and classy so I feel comfortable either sitting in sweats at the bar or dressing up for a date night. And to top it all off, the prices are excellent.
You absolutely won’t regret choosing Elsasser’s for your next night out.

A really nice surprise in a small town, easily worth the trip. German flair food seasoned well. Just a note, pizza isn’t traditional, no mozzarella cheese, and the dough is flatbread, but my wife really enjoyed the Swiss cheese and spinach. The prices were very good. The owner chatted with us and was very personable, made the meal even better. I highly recommend the beef stew, it’s a special for the winter, I also recommend finding this gem.

Almost a 5 star experience for us.
The staff is great and the people very friendly.
Very strange entrance as it completely blacked out, and what you think is the entrance is blocked by a bench. The interior is simple but beautiful and welcoming.
The food is a mixed bag. My wife had the pork schnitzel, which was excellent. The breading cracked so loudly that the table next to us commented on it. She loved the german potato salad served with it.
My Sauerbraten was bland, and the gravy was very thin. The accompanying red cabbage was good and very flavorful, but it over-powered the flavor of the sauerbraten.
The pumpkin spatzle tasted nothing like pumpkin, but it was enjoyable.
For dessert, we shared an apple and cinnamon flammkuchen, think of a quessadilla. This was perfectly cooked, the crepe like outer layer was crispy, the apple sweet and crisp.
If we’re in the neighborhood, we would definitely go back. The savory flammkuchen menu looks very appealing.

I can’t really do justice to how special this place is. Simple and surprising…
We started with a flammküchen and cocktails, then had pork schnitzel and spätzle with short rib and two glasses of wine. These two entrees were the best version of either I’ve ever had. I’m sorry to give such outlandish praise – it contradicts the simplicity and humility of the place. Our bill was $108. Worth the drive in if you’re from out of town.

Hidden gem in Greenwich. The Flammkuchen blew us away, the French wine was perfect, and the short ribs were to die for. Finished with dessert Flammkuchen. Don’t skip it. Owner knows exactly what he’s doing. Small town, big flavors. Highly recommend Elsasser’s!

I was pleasantly surprised about the authenticity of the food. It was very delicious and good portions (not too much but not too little). A very nice atmosphere and a knowledgeable and gracious host. We will definitely come back again and try another menu item.

Last week we dined here for the first time , we were back with friends a week later!!! It was that good…..Chris, the owner is multi-talented from the kitchen to picking up an instrument playing for his patrons!!!! And then there is his personality and professionalism…just having opened another food establishment working on a third!!! Can’t wait for it to open as I’m sure it’s going to be just as fabulous!!!
If you haven’t benn yet, do yourself a favor and get there…but make a reservation as it is small and very popular

Hidden gem in Greenwich, NY! This unique, one of a kind location boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for casual drinks, intimate dining and everything in between.
The owner Chris was not only welcoming but evidently passionate about his locally sourced, lovingly crafted menu offerings. Though we’re relatively inexperienced with German cuisine, he took the time to explain every dish, make recommendations and went above and beyond to accommodate our friends dietary restrictions.
It’s an absolute must go and one of our new favorites!
