    The food was fantastic. The service was REALLY slow. We did dinner and a couple drinks and we were there 2.5 hours. Just glad we didnt have something else planned afterward.

    We arrived on time for our reservation. We were seated facing the bar which was distracting for me. I should have asked for a different table, but we were already sitting down. It took close to 10 minutes for a server to come and take our drink order and then another 10 minutes to get the bottle of wine we ordered. My date and I ordered two appetizers and they were quite good. The shrimp bruchetta and the charcuterie platter. The platter was large and we enjoyed the selections. Before we realized it, it was 6:50pm and we needed to leave for a show at 7pm and our entree had not arrived. Our server was not around, so I found the hostess and told her the situation. She found our server and we had the entree wrapped up. That was the right call, because by the time we received the box, it was 7pm. I also should have been clear up front about the time we needed to be finished, but on the other hand, the server was not very attentive. The chef included two complimentary desserts in our to-go bag and that was a nice gesture. Probably an off night. Perhaps an off night?

    Great service and ambience. Food was ok. I ordered lamb chops & potato’s. My food was lukewarm warm. Potatoes were sent back and when they came out the second time they were a bit soggy due to the sauce they put on it. The 2nd night I went back and sat at the bar. Orders bacon cheeseburger and fries. My raspberry lemon drop was delicious .

    This was our first time visiting Elder + Rime and it was a mediocre experience. The atmosphere is intimate and gorgeous. The food, however, did not live up to expectations. My husband ordered the filet, and instead of medium rare, it came out medium well and the cook was uneven. My salmon was room temperature, and drowning in sauce. It was really all I could taste. The fish itself was a little dry, but the crust was perfect. Service was less than friendly, but acceptable. They do have an extensive wine list which is a plus. Overall it was a disappointing experience for the cost. I don’t think we will be returning.

    My wife and I celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary here, and we absolutely loved it! Although we arrived a little later than our reservation time, the staff was very accommodating. We had to order a bit faster, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The food was incredible—everything tasted perfect! We enjoyed our drinks, appetizer, and entrées, all of which were top-notch. Our waiter was not only friendly but also impressively quick with the drink refills! The atmosphere inside was stunning, creating the perfect vibe for a special evening. To top it all off, we were served a delicious flourless chocolate cake that was out of this world. I’d definitely recommend this place for any special occasion! Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable.

    Food and drinks were very good. The old fashioned was smoked with very unique smoky flavor. Big fan. We got the oysters, trout dip and beef tartare. All 3 were great, although I think the trout dip would have been better warm vs cold. For dinner we got the filet and ribeye and both were great, my ribeye was slightly overcooked for medium rare but still had tremendous flavor so I wasn’t too worried. But the bill surprised me, too expensive for the experience. I would rather go to a top tier steakhouse downtown for the price. I would have gone back, but unless the prices become more realistic, not anytime soon.

    Great value. Solid whiskey list. The Lox and Rye Crisps were the best I’ve ever had. This is not your bagel shop-type lox. Thick slices of smoked salmon, capers, dill, pickled cabbage/ beets. So good- I had it twice in two days.
