At Elizabeth’s they provide more than a meal, they give you an experience. Everything was tip top across the board. Well worth the splurge . We were worried the non-alcoholic pairing wouldn’t be worth it, but we were proven very wrong. It was fantastic.

We reserved a table one day before for 1:30. We were unaware the restaurant kitchen closed at 2 and doors closed at 2:30. Although it reopened at 5, it was unexpected. However, staff did not rush us. We were even offered dessert. Staff were informative, polite, and courteous. The food (Biryani)was delicious, with generous portions and reasonably priced. One thing we noticed was the quietness of the place. No music played. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and plan to return.
