Restaurants near Mother African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church

Elvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.

We were so lucky to find this place, wonderful food, service and experience. The live music made a near perfect night even better.

Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

The food is authentic French and a gem of a restaurant. The staff are attentive and eclectic. Very thoughtful touches with the album cover menus and more. I would make a trip there for the cous cous alone. But everything on the menu is delicious.

Everything here is always amazing and the staff is always nice! My go to is the mussels, Africana. They are my favorite mussels period. I do think the DJ being so loud at dinner time made it more difficult to have conversation.
