Casual yet comfortable but seriously go for the amazing food (menu) and staff! It will all have you coming back for more. Let loose and have some fun! The next time I go will be on a Thursday for live music jazz night!. They have a unique menu from roast hen to steak; from lobster risotto to sword fish; from lamb to haddock and plenty more like their infamous pork belly start. I had it and I don't think I'll be able to order anything else for a start even if I wanted to! Where else can you wear your jeans but have edible flowers in your dish to make your meal look beautiful? It's definitely an experience you have to have.

The food is simple and delicious, with dishes like steak, chicken, and mussel starters that are all excellent. The atmosphere reminds me of trendy spots on Bleecker and Broadway or along the Cote d'Azur. While many places downtown can be pretentious, Eliot Vine delivers high-quality dining in a relaxed setting. One of the highlights for us was the soft golden lighting, a refreshing change from the harsh blue lights of other restaurants or the dark ambiance of faux chic dining establishments.
