| - I think Elly's is great for visitors and wait times that aren't too bad. I like that they have a wide ranging breakfast menu. I went here for the first time for lunch and had a Reuben sandwich that was just OK. My mom had the healthy protein plate with cottage cheese, eggs, etc. That was simple and plain. I went back a second time last week for brunch. I had been eating a lot of eggs and potatoes in recent days. So I didn't want that if I could help it. But I didn't want oatmeal either. I was pleasantly surprised to find a healthy breakfast bowl of brown rice, sweet potatoes, kale and coconut curry. It was actually tasty and I liked the taste of cumin.
Their patio is a little cramped, especially if you have a dog. But I like that they have one at all. The entire restaurant is pretty big so I think that helps with the wait time not being too bad on weekends. I didn't see groups waiting for too long. Of course, if this place becomes like another Snooze AM, that could change.
The service is decent. When I was there last, almost an hour had passed and we still didn't have our food. Luckily, took me a while to notice because I was engrossed in conversation with my friend. Well, it turns out their printer ran out of paper and so our order never got printed out. Our female server could not have been more contrite. She said "of course there will be a discount." We got 50 percent off our bill. I think that was fair.
Basically, I could see going here with a group or a couple visitors. But the food isn't anything that will knock the socks off.
