Went here to celebrate my birthday and check out the happy hour scene, but we ended up staying past happy hour and trying the tasting menu.

The happy hour options were great. We started with the vegan caviar and sparkling wine. We loved the sparkling wine, and it paired well with the caviar. This was my first time trying vegan caviar, and it was super exciting. We also tried the sandwiches, which were beyond delicious, so we ended up ordering two of them. The drinks were sophisticated and perfectly balanced.

For dinner, we had a great time experiencing each course. My only small complaint is that it took a long time for each course to arrive. We noticed other tables were served faster, but we still enjoyed each course. Oh, the most creative was the melting vegan butter. It was great. We ended the meal with an Amaro tasting, which was an interesting experience, and our server explained everything very well. She was super sweet and friendly.

They even brought me a candle with dessert, which felt special. Overall, we had a great time. My husband thinks it definitely deserves a spot in the Michelin.

We thought the caviar and the bbq skewer were out of this world. The somm guided me through an exceptional woman owned and biodynamic wine pairing. Dinner with our add ons took several hours. The atmosphere was lively (the full room got toasty). While dining we were continually (happily) reminded of the world-renowned, three-Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant, Eleven Madison Park in their vegan era both by some of the service and plating. We enjoyed the cosy row house building and look forward to trying the a la carte bar menu.

The best meal I’ve ever had. It brought me to tears. The creativity, uniqueness, and art of each dish were lingering and captivating. Each dish left me wanting to more, wanting to savor. The servers felt like they truly wanted to be there and loved their job. They made each moment feel special and described the dishes and the experience, as well as catered to requests and questions effortlessly. Elizabeth and was there as well, she undoubtedly cares about each patron! It was an unforgettable experience and I will be back!

The historic gas lamp flickering light along the beautiful stairs as you enter through the solid oak door into another world must be how it felt to go through the wardrobe into Narnia! It’s as if you enter into an old master painting & become part of the scene for the evening soiree. The romantic ambiance envelops you with the soft lighting making the onyx bar shimmer & the dark wood tones warm the intimate space drawing you in. The rarity of such an exquisite dining experience makes this date night an exceptionally memorable one.

Seated at a linen clothed table & napkins along with spotless sparkling glasses vintage cuts, real candle light, & French silver cutlery laid out in perfect form & comfortable chairs in a room with soft peachy overtones that makes everyone look good, a chandelier, old master paintings on the wall felt like you are in a private salon. We felt so well cared for & treated there by everyone. The service was exceptional. The attention to detail & engagement of the senses outstanding & heightened the overall experience.

The culinary performance was worthy of Michelin stars. It exceeded all expectations in presentation, flavors & tastes, seasonal creativity & pairings & textures. The food engaged all the senses & was paced at a leisurely rate to thoroughly enjoy & savor every single bite or sip of the non-alcoholic pairings.

We heard about Elizabeth’s from the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine where top global nutrition experts Dr Neal Barnard, Dr Michael Greger, Dr Kristi Funk, among others herald the power of plant based eating to prevent & reverse disease optimizing health, wellbeing & longevity with every antioxidant bite of food. Transforming to a plant based lifestyle for our health, the sanctity of animals & the plant is a valued choice that becomes rewardingly affirming with exceptional restaurants like Elizabeth’s that offer such a remarkable & tantilizing experience.

Thank you so very much to everyone at Elizabeth’s. Elizabeth’s is a truly exceptional place & I highly recommend it to everyone & we are already looking forward to our return.

Where do I begin?… The ambiance and courtesy of this place is extremely admirable. Elizabeth and her mindful staff made my cohort sister’s birthday a top tier experience. Everything was delicious and ascetically pleasing. 111/10 recommend if you are vegan or non vegan…especially if you’re looking for elite dining and an intimate experience.

I cannot overstate how incredible our experience was at Elizabeth’s.

The food was not just delicious, each plate was a work of art. My partner and I left full and satisfied after our meal, and truly enjoyed the atmosphere and next-level hospitality of the servers and sommeliers.

The owner herself was there working alongside her staff to ensure we had a 5-star experience. While this was certainly the most I’ve ever spent on a vegan meal, it was worth every penny.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to be surprised and delighted by creative, delicious plant-based food and/or celebrate a special occasion.

As a vegetarian, it was refreshing to attend a tasting menu dinner without having to worry about dietary restrictions. That alone made the experience enjoyable. The food was good overall, especially the bread, main course, and dessert.

That said, while everything was well prepared, I wouldn’t describe it as exceptional. Given the price point, I expected something more memorable. The ambience was also very quiet, to the point where we felt like we had to whisper throughout most of the meal.

It’s worth trying once for a special occasion, but I wouldn’t necessarily return.

My fiancée and I had our engagement dinner at Elizabeth’s and it was the perfect place to celebrate. The food was absolutely stellar, the wine was fantastic and well-paired, and the ambiance and overall experience was elegant and memorable. We are not connoisseurs of food or wine by any means, but our dinner was still approachable and delicious yet clearly refined and sophisticated. We felt welcome despite being a bit under-dressed for the ornate dining room. We spent over 3 hours at our dinner here and never once felt rushed or overlooked.

Our server Mariah and our sommelier Emma (as well as all of the other staff we encountered) were knowledgable, attentive, and friendly. They patiently answered all of our questions about our meal and our wines, kindly asked about our engagement while still giving us space to enjoy our night, and expertly facilitated a really special outing for us. We were also given a lovely commemorative menu detailing the dishes served as part of the tasting menu and including a very thoughtful congratulatory message for our engagement – a keepsake we’ll treasure as a reminder of this wonderful part of the best day of our lives so far.

I highly recommend Elizabeth’s for anyone looking for a truly exceptional place to celebrate an occasion and we look forward to returning in the future.

This is in a rowhouse, incongruously located in between office buildings. We went here years ago, when it was called “Elizabeth’s Gone Raw”. It turned out we didn’t care much for raw food. But we do like vegan food if it’s prepared well, and we enjoyed ourselves a lot on our recent visit. The food was spectacular, the cocktails were well made and interesting, and different wine pairings were available for the five-course prix fixe menu. We started with vegan “caviar” – I’ve never had real caviar so take this with a grain of salt, I guess – but it was salty, delicious, and came with plenty of tasty accoutrements. We ended with a dessert of pumpkin spice custard, plantain ice cream, and cayenne sauce, which was fantastic! (Vegan desserts are often … questionable.) In between, we enjoyed every other course – they were all delicious and went well with the wine pairing.

The service was great as well. We received just enough attention – not too little nor too much. The coursing was perfect, and any questions we had were quickly answered. The main dining space was a complete floor of the rowhouse, with plenty of space between tables.

We enjoyed everything about the experience, and look forward to our next meal here.
