Situated on the city’s premier performance and visual arts campus, Elise will offer a refined dining experience that blends French technique with Chef Richards’ signature organic Italian sensibility. Named as a nod to Beethoven’s beloved piano composition Für Elise, the restaurant takes inspiration from the piece’s elegant, expressive melody, balancing simplicity with depth.

Reviews
The service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful all night long. Our waiter went above and beyond and made the entire evening feel personal and special, not rushed or routine.
The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. Visually gorgeous and hands down the best new addition to The High. The ambiance alone sets the tone for a perfect night out. The food was delicious from start to finish, and the drinks were pure perfection: balanced, flavorful, and beautifully crafted.
This place left such a lasting impression on us. An incredible dining experience, impeccable service, and a night we’ll always remember. We can’t wait to come back.
The place definitely has an “old money” aesthetic with velvet seating, curtains, and white tablecloths. Their logo and menu are also very well designed.
We made reservations in advance for a birthday dinner. Somehow, the receptionist took quite a while to find our reservation, and even after we were halfway inside, he stopped us again and asked us to wait while he double-checked. Aside from that small hiccup at the beginning, everything else was good.
The highlight of my experience was definitely our server, Luke. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, super friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. She made sure I had a good birthday experience by offering to remake my mocktail when she noticed I didn’t enjoy the honey syrup in it, even though I was too shy to ask for a change myself. We ordered:
– Sourdough and Cornbread: not complimentary, this is a menu item by itself, and it tasted good.
– Smoked oysters: The oysters were fresh with no shell fragments, and they tasted good.
– Anchovies & sherry butter: The anchovies were a bit too salty and sour for my taste, and the bread was slightly soggy instead of toasty and crisp. This dish didn’t suit my preference. If you’ve ever had Thai canned sardines in tomato sauce, the anchovies tasted similar, just without the tomato sauce.
– Steelhead trout: The fish itself was good, but I wasn’t a fan of the black-eyed pea sauce. The caviar was mixed in, so I couldn’t really taste it either. This was my second time having steelhead trout, and it really looks a lot like salmon.
– Roast chicken: A solid roast chicken, simple and well done.
– Chocolate mousse: The mousse itself was good, but it had za’atar on top, which tasted like black pepper to me. It gave the chocolate a slightly strange flavor, not bad, just not our preference. If we had known beforehand, we probably wouldn’t have ordered it.
– Lemon tart: I liked the meringue, but the tart filling was a bit too sour for me. The flavor itself was good; I’m just not very used to strongly lemon-forward desserts.
The savory food was good, but the desserts were a bit of a miss for us. Luke kindly offered to replace the dessert, but we were already planning to leave. Overall, it was a lovely experience. Highly recommended.
Next up was the hamachi crudo and crispy vegetables, which was fresh and delicious. For the mains, we went with the tagliatelle with rabbit ragù and the risotto cacio e pepe. The risotto was a standout and instantly reminded me of the cacio e pepe we had in Rome.
The food at Elise is outstanding, but what really made the night special was the service. Anijah, our server and Maître d’, was fantastic and made the whole evening feel easy and memorable.
5/10 Parking – Finding a free parking is not easy. paid parking adding to the cost of dining up unless u stay or work in midtown.
7.5/10 Food – Same chef but I really like the food at Lyla better. More flavor, and adventurous. Food here feel more like a smaller portion of an upscale seafood restaurant or steak house. More safe – Delicious but safe.
7/10 – Pricing – I used to live in Chicago and Charlotte and not Atlanta, so I don’t know post pandemic pricing. However, I think the Entree pricing are a tiny bit too high. probably about $10 too high per dish.
9/10 on drinks – I tried non alcoholic drinks only but very tasty and innovative. price just right.
10/10 – Service and Environment – No question about this, clean and spacious. Polite and friendly. just top rated service.
We ordered the tuna tartare, cucumbers, rabbit pasta, seafood pasta, and lemon tart for dessert. The tuna was unfortunately suuuper salty. The cucumbers were uniquely prepared and quite good. The pastas were good as well, though the seafood one was also very salty. The lemon tart was delicious for dessert! Overall good but could be improved for the price point. My only other complaint is that water service could’ve been more frequent.
