点评:5 for Ellie’s
We had a fabulous dinner at this charming neighborhood restaurant this past Friday. We were fortunate to get an indoor table on a chilly evening, and the cozy and friendly environ reminded us of meals out in Brooklyn and Montreal more than anything we have experienced locally.
The restaurant is located in a residential area with only street parking so parking was a challenge, but we were lucky to find a spot after slow loop around the block.
Everything on the menu sounded delicious and our waitress, Tuesday, was able to help recommend dishes. We ordered a salad, 2 veggies dishes, 2 pastas, and 1 main to share amongst 3. We were all hungry and it turned out to be a good amount of food.
Overall, we enjoyed all of the dishes that came out of the small kitchen, but some were definite standouts that we will order again. The Ellie’s Caesar had spring mix and raw zucchini and was fresh and bright, but bit overdressed. The Roasted Cauliflower with smoky eggplant purée was solid. Our favorite by far was the Garnet Yam which had the most flavor and texture. There was a delicious fried egg aioli, lightened with fresh herbs, and the potato itself was creamy with an incredibly crispy skin, and sesame seed topping. The Chittara Pomodoro with a very cheesy tomato based sauce and chewy egg noodles was enjoyable, but the Tagliatelle with shrimp and spicy sausage blended into a creamy sauce was superb. Our favorite dish of the night was the Short Rib, a super tender, deeply flavorful short rib served on top of a sweet potato purée and braised small onions.
A bottle of Hartford Pinot Noir nicely complemented our meal. And we happily rounded out our dinner with a delicious bread pudding, dotted with plump raisins and topped with vanilla ice cream. A very enjoyable experience.

上周五我们在这家迷人的邻里餐厅吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐。我们很幸运在寒冷的夜晚找到了一张室内餐桌,舒适而友好的环境让我们想起了在布鲁克林和蒙特利尔外出就餐的感觉,这比我们在当地经历过的任何事情都更让我们想起。
这家餐厅位于住宅区,只有路边停车位,所以停车是一个挑战,但我们很幸运在绕着街区慢悠悠地找到了一个停车位。
菜单上的所有东西听起来都很美味,我们的女服务员星期二能够帮助推荐菜肴。我们点了一份沙拉、两份蔬菜、两份意大利面和一份主菜,三人分享。我们都很饿,结果发现食物的量很大。
总的来说,我们喜欢小厨房里的所有菜肴,但有些绝对是我们会再次订购的出色菜肴。艾莉凯撒有春季混合菜和生西葫芦,新鲜明亮,但有点过分了。烤花椰菜配烟熏茄子泥很扎实。到目前为止,我们最喜欢的是石榴石山药,它的味道和质地都最好。有美味的煎蛋蒜泥蛋黄酱,用新鲜香草调味,土豆本身呈奶油状,外皮酥脆,上面还有芝麻。 Chittara Pomodoro 配上芝士番茄酱和耐嚼的鸡蛋面,非常美味,但配上虾和辣香肠的意大利面条与奶油酱混合在一起,非常棒。当晚我们最喜欢的菜是小排骨,一种超级嫩、味道浓郁的小排骨,配在红薯泥和红烧小洋葱上。
一瓶哈特福德黑皮诺葡萄酒很好地补充了我们的餐点。我们高兴地以美味的面包布丁结束了我们的晚餐,布丁上点缀着饱满的葡萄干,上面放着香草冰淇淋。一次非常愉快的经历。
