The happy hour at this restaurant is amazing. The oysters were absolutely delicious! :chef's kiss:

The butternut squash ravioli, baby octopus, and prosciutto flatbread were all delicious. The flavors were very refined. I especially enjoyed the touch of lemon in the ravioli. The service was excellent as well. Overall, I would rate the food 5 out of 5.

We drove to the restaurant only to find it was closed on the date of our reservation. Which, incidentally was our anniversary. It even autosent a confirmation text the day before to my phone making sure we were still going to attend. We actually had to scramble to find a place on what should have been a very special evening. If you're going to be closed, make sure you block out the days on your reservation system.

Although we've had several good meals at Elo's we did not eat there for several months. We had dinner last night and were very disappointed. The food tasted like it was frozen bulk that they warmed to serve. Did they change ownership or chefs? Sadly we will not be back.
