I hadn't been to elixor for over 10 years and the last time was not such a great experience. But when my friend said let's do a girls night out and have supper at elixor, I said: "why not", its been so long maybe things have gotten better. Well yes and no.
Usually good restaurants don't have extensive menus. When I see that a restaurant has over 10 pages of menu, it worries me. No chef can be good at everything, this restaurant offers salads, burgers, pasta, fish, steak,specialty dishes, I mean everything, from Italian, to Chinese to Mexican, just going through the menu was exhausting and confusing.
My friend asks the waiter what's the specialty here? And his answer was "what do you want." That's not a good answer, the right answer would be we are good and steak, or fish, or anything thats Italian, dont ask that person what they want, obviously if they are asking you its because they want your opinion. Anyways that didn't sit well with me.
We were four and we all ordered different things. I ordered the chicken Pallazo, which is fried chicken on a bed of tomato sauce and creamy spaghettini topped with prosciutto. The portions are very big, my chicken was very dry and some parts were burnt, but the spaghettini and sauce was pretty good.
Overall it was a girls night and I did not want to complain as the purpose was just to be together. But this restaurant needs a huge upgrade, the decor is very outdated, and the seating area, specially benches are worn out. I took pictures of our plates and the seating. The presentation of the food is great but taste and seasoning is lacking, at least in my case.
