Most reviewers here have an inflated opinion of this restaurant IMHO. I'm a foodie and I've lived in NYC, Philly and LA. My take on Eleven is that they did an OK job at pretty much everything. I do not think this is a great restaurant or even comes close to rivaling some of the nicer restaurants in Philadelphia, NY, LA, Chicago, etc.
I ordered their tasting menu because I wanted to get a feel for the place rather than pick what I thought I would like. I should say that I did not have anything bad; I just did not think this was anything to write home about.
