Was Anonym at Ellison's Bistro a mag?
I went for dinner last night and it was excellent...Food was terrific...service was excellent as well..I would recommend it highly...great menu with lots of options...try it you won't be disappointed.. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Ellison's Bistro:
We expected good food. Soup was excellent. Then it all went downhill...my pumpkin fritters were microwave defrosted, My Roti was out of the fridge, stuffed then rolled and served...cold. I sent it back. Was microwaved and brought back. My wife's fish was steamed dry with day old rice and beans. I so want this place to succeed but their passion for good food served with generosity and joy has disappeared. What do you... View all feedback.

Nice place and very close to the Kitchener bus terminal. The food is good our group liked the doubles and the potato Roti. The service was good. They have good options for vegetarians. There are good take out deals and there is more value...if your doing take out with the specials they have. Need to have cash as that is the only mode of payment.

Food was just ok he charges for a can of pop . The dessert was puff pastry so stale hard to cut with butter knife. Women’s bathroom is dirty used as a extra storage room.we told the owner the pastry was stale . He...don’t even acknowledge what we said . He did not even credit our bill.. the carpet is worn out you see the floor it’s dirty. The place mats on the table were plastic that were white at one time now full dirty .then the owner asked us to like the restaurant on Facebook . Well after this bad service I will never go back

I stepped in to get takeout.. ok it's a bit of a dive but got my jerk chicken and had great veggies with it that I never seen before but it was excellent.. the chef came out to say hello.. friendly place but you have...to pay cash.. I will definitely go back.. food was excellent.

I had an amazing lunch at Ellisons today. The service was excellent and the presentation of the food was outstanding. I would have given them five stars if the jerk chicken had been cooked on the drum instead of in the oven. Overall, I highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you're looking for delicious Caribbean food in downtown!

I love taking friends to Ellison's restaurant. The local chef and owner Elvis is welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious, with my top two picks being the jambalaya and blackened catfish. I enjoy dining on their white tablecloths and appreciate the lack of background music, allowing for good conversation. They also offer several vegetarian options on the menu.
