Fantastic as always! Great customer service from the moment you walk in the door, and throughout our dining experience. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name) even remembered how I like my steak salad. Totally recommend Eleven Eleven, and I'm not getting a dime for making this review.

Terrific evening...Super greeting, attention during meal, food at top of WC quality. Knew what we were expecting and that's what we got. James our waiter was extremely gracious and made sure we were taken care of from reception thru the meal finality. Fine evening. On the comment side, we were familiar with the product so knew what we wanted but the menu was a little confusing as to meeting that need. I can't explain what or how because they were in our hands a brief amount of time and didn't have a chance to break it down but it just didn't give me answers without needing more time to sort it out. Missed the pix taking this year.
