   I brought my boyfriend here for a birthday dinner and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was so delicious and fresh and the service was perfect. Chandler was our waiter and he was attentive and friendly. He is very good at his job. We decided that this will be our new dinner spot.

   Service was unusually slow. A family member ordered a lamb dish cooked well and it came out raw - twice. Finally asked for it to be removed from the bill since it was never prepared as ordered. Everyone else's meals were delicious.

   Hi Meghan, Please accept my apology for your dining experience last night. We aim for perfection at every table, and it looks like we missed that goal by a long shot. I will discuss the issues with the rack of lamb with our Chef, sending out an undercooked protein once is bad enough but twice is unacceptable, nor does it represent our philosophy of delivering "perfect plates". I will also address the issue with your service. There is a fine line between a server who allows the guest to dine at a comfortable pace and one who allows delayed, prolonged pauses. This will be turned into a teachable moment for all staff. If you are inclined to give Elliott's On Linden another try, please contact me personally. Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention, Karin Yonish General Manager

   Service was attentive and kind. Atmosphere was lively and sophisticated , but not stuffy. Scallop appetizer was excellent. Gin cured salmon app was delicious but garnishing chips were soggy. Had the grilled elk main which was excellent and perfectly cooked. Vanilla creme brulee was heavily almond accented and delicious. Terrific place for a date night.

   Hi Kathleen, Thank you for joining us on Valentine's Day, it was a very busy night but the staff responded well and delivered everything I requested of them! I do see there are some things we could work on to provide an even better dining experience the next time you are in. Would you be willing to share any details with me? We use guest reviews as teachable moments for all staff. Our goal is to provide the best of the best in all areas of service, and in order to do that we have to address areas that are we are lacking. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing back, Karin Yonish General Manager

   The food was exceptional. Our server, McKenzie was extremely personable and knowledgeable. I tried the Elk steak. It was cooked to perfection. My wife enjoyed the salmon. We expected it to be busy since it was Valentines Day. I was excited and rather lucky that I was able to get reservations a week out. The only negative issue that we experienced was our table location. We were placed right by the hostess booth which was also located extremely close to the front door and to the bar patrons. The bar crowd was rather loud and the overflow of patrons waiting for tables completely engulfed our table location. We found it difficult to enjoy our romantic evening with people standing right beside our table, with their backsides almost touching our plates!! lol. This presented an awkward feeling for us. We wanted to enjoy another glass of wine, but felt somewhat pressured to exit, due to this. Not quite the romantic setting I was looking for. Next time i will ensure that we have secured a table far away from the front door. Please note that we also understand that this day is pretty hectic in the restaurant business.

   Hi Rick, Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve you and your wife on Valentine's Day. The owner and I are currently discussing solutions to the issue you experienced while dining. One immediate response is to remind the staff to reset tables quickly and efficiently so when reservations arrive they are immediately escorted to their table. I will also attach a note in your OpenTable profile specifying table placement. Once again, thank you for dining with us and we look forward to the opportunity to serve you again soon, Karin Yonish General Manager

   It was our first time here and the food was just okay. 4/10. I wouldn’t dine here again anytime soon as the area has far better restaurants. The service was just okay. Our waitress was on her second day on the job and didn’t know the menu well, she didn’t clear the wine glasses after we ordered from the bar. I put those to the side. After we received our drinks, he asked for a second drink and after I was finished with mine (before the main course) she never asked if I wanted a second. They were out of their caviar which is something we wanted.

   Hi Courtney, First impressions are everything, and unfortunately redemption from a negative first impression is difficult. There is no excuse for your dining experience. I could say a million reasons "why", but the fact is we dropped the ball. If you are inclined to give us a second try, please reach out to me personally for this reservation and I will ensure an experience that is nothing short of perfection. Karin Yonish, General Manager

    Attended with girlfriends for my birthday and we were all extremely happy with our meals. I had the grilled elk which was amazing! The staff, including our server, and the manager were very attentive to our group. Chef Eric stepped out to our table at our requested. We wanted to compliment his culinary abilities and he was wonderful to take a moment to come greet us. I would recommend Elliot's on Linden to everyone going to Pinehurst.
