Another perfect date night @elro! The menu is definitely not “massive” but the quality & taste is absolutely “grand”. My husband and I love this gem! The atmosphere is inviting, food never disappoints & service is always top notch. This evening the Madonna themed craft cocktails were truly...Read More

Great atmosphere - neat design. But why no pasta on the menu? Only starters and pizza, even though it’s labeled “Italian restaurant”. Why not label “pizza restaurant”? Controversial opinion, but I find it misleading. Pizza tasted great though. And can also recommend the tuna on toast

Run, don't walk to this fabulous, well decorated, tiny restaurant. We were regular diners at the bar at Pass & Provisions and devastated when it closed. I was so excited to try our Elro and it did not disappoint. The cucumbers were excellent with lots...Read More
