Well allow me to start by mentioning I typically do not critique restaurants. I'll just tell you I'm a a huge gourmet. Where to start? The other day I visited Elaine's in Manhattan. I found Elaine's to be elegant entirely, from environment through the appearance. Everyone at this restaurant was so awesome! The decor was excellent. The entrees showed up extremely fast. Certainly one of our gripes was basically the presentation was not that amazing. The look was okay but did not give you that amaze feeling. Even though no serious issues. My husband and I had a excellent night! So refreshing as there are numerous Manhattan dining establishments that are unhealthy. Also was to visit a NYC restaurant with out too much attitude. I'm a big lover of the place. We definitely will be soon.
