I ventured down Cottage Grove on an Easter morning walk to find that my destination (Cottage Cafe) was closed due to Easter, so on I ventured until I came across Elie's.
Breakfast was my goal, and Elie's looked inviting. The inside is pretty basic...very open. I was quickly seated and had coffee within 4 minutes of being seated. I went simple with 2 eggs over medium, 2 pieces of bacon, 2 sausage links and 2 pancakes. Eggs were prefect, bacon was good, sausage okay (I am not a big sausage fan) and the pancakes were okay. The food was delivered quick and hot. Coffee refills were frequent and plentiful. The woman serving was pleasant and attentive.
So for breakfast....four stars for the combination of service and food, with service being 5 star and the food more towards the 3.5 star area.
The best comment....I will be back!
