"Because of their Sunday jazz brunch, C. Ellet’s is our first choice when we're in the mood for a ribeye before noon. Eating a giant pancake stack with quality steak benedict while listening to a bass-backed jam session is a nice way to bookmark the weekend. Even when there’s no jazz player in sight or The Battery is packed with people, this upscale steakhouse always maintains a calm. And we love the French New Orleans touches on the menu since lagniappes like crispy fried oysters in a creamy pepper gravy make the steaks taste even more impressive. " - nina reeder, juli horsford
