We wanted to love it - the space is really lovely. But we waited over an hour for pancakes and a burger. The food was fair - nothing special and not cheap. I don't think we'd come back for food - maybe cocktails.

Mushroom tartine - very good. Onion & fennel soup - nice flavor, right amount of creaminess but way over salted. Sliced steak & fries — just right. Service was awful — doubt the waitress had ever waitressed before. 20 minutes to get a can of beer (had to ask for a glass) and a glass of wine. She then wondered off after getting the order for two starters without asking about mains. Soup delivered without a soup spoon. We had to remind the waitress to take the mains order. Then ordered a main to be split but the requested extra plate and a 2nd glass of wine never arrived. Too bad.

The atmosphere at Elsie’s Daughter is unbeatable. I loved the decor and vibe of this place! It felt comfortable and unique. Our food was delicious, everyone was very pleased with their meal. The drinks were very unique and expertly crafted, I enjoyed getting the recommendations from our server. I especially loved getting to the restaurant, it felt like we were on a quest finding a secret garden tucked away from everyone else.
