Wow! Wow! Wow! I can’t say enough about how perfect my experience was at Eli’s. The atmosphere was classy yet relaxed. The booths were comfortable, the lighting was esthetically pleasing, the decorative touches were obviously well thought out, and the food was seasoned to perfection. The shrimp scampi, pork tenderloin, and crab cake were so delicious. Our server, Stacy, was attentive and friendly. This is a new date spot without a doubt. Eli’s is literally doing everything right. Oh…. can’t forget…Eli’s New Fashioned…yes, yes, and yes….

Definitely not what I expected. Eli’s popped up when I searched pub food so we walked 1.5 miles to it. I’d been on a week long trip from Colorado to Florida to Minnesota. The weekly special entree at Eli’s was, hands down, the best meal I’d had all week. It was cheap relative to most other places in the city and it was so good.

This little spot is one of the best kept secrets in the cities. It doesn’t look like much from the outside. Even when you go in, it just looks like a regular neighbor bar that probably serves regular neighborhood bar food. Nothing could be more wrong. The food is surprisingly excellent and they have quite a range of different selections on the menu. All the food is good including such mundane items as hotdogs or the fried egg sandwich. The hotdog has a nice hardwood smoked flavor and the fried egg sandwich has a just a hint of subtle horseradish. Their Penne and Cheese is as good as any Mac and Cheese you’ll find in the cities. For appetizers, you won’t find any better than the sesame seed encrusted Tuna Tataki or the Fillet Mignon with gorgonzola. For dessert we always get the pistachio cheese cake with raspberry coullee. You can’t go wrong here.

One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities! Great service, changing specials, solid menu, great drinks…all at stable prices (a steal for downtown)!

We ended up at Eli’s looking for something close and quick to the Orpheum and the reviews were positive. I ordered the grilled cheese and my husband ordered the pastrami, we both had the tomato basil soup. We both enjoyed our meals and we made it to the show on time.

We went here for lunch last week and watch the nfl playoffs. We had several drinks as they have a large tap beer selection. There is a good appetizer menu and the wing sauces are decent . We did the chipotle one.

Absolutely phenomenal. We used to come here weekly in 2013-2015 and loved it then. We come back as often as we can and it hasn’t changed one bit…which is a good thing! Lovely staff. Phenomenal food. Great drinks from what I hear . Never change. We love you guys!

Great atmosphere and drinks. Great food? Not so much. We stopped in with another couple for a bite to eat on very busy Saturday night. We were seated within 20 minutes—they don’t take reservations. There’s a long bar that lines the side of one wall with smallish tables lined up on the other and in front. Service was pretty good considering how busy the place was. We all tried the very tasty crab cakes as a starter. The main dishes were just so-so and too salty. I tried the sloppy-joe and it tasted like it had been sitting on the stove too long (savvy readers will agree that I did not choose wisely and should have expected it). The fries were good. My friend could only take 2 bites of her tomato soup—she said it was terrible. I recommend coming to Eli’s for a drink and crab cakes and going elsewhere for a real meal.
