Elaine's Cocktail Kitchen

Elaine’s Cocktail Kitchen is my new favorite brunch spot in town. Their French press coffee is perfection, the fresh squeezed juice reminds me of European cafes, the quiche and salads are always fresh, the smoked salmon tartine, and cannoli crepes I haven’t tasted anything in Frisco that tops them… and they’ll even whip up a charcuterie board when you’re in a pinch. Friendly staff, gorgeous decor, and every detail feels intentional. Classy, elegant, and effortlessly welcoming.

Absolutely incredible experience at Elaine’s Cocktail Kitchen! First of all, the location is beautiful. It has such a great atmosphere that feels both upscale and relaxed. But what really blew me away was the food. Amy, the chef, is extremely talented. You can tell she pours her heart into every dish. I had the horchata French toast, and let me tell you, I’m a total French toast snob and this was hands down the best one I’ve ever had. Perfectly fluffy, flavorful, and unique with that horchata twist. I also tried the espresso martini, and as someone who’s also very picky about those, it was soooo good, creamy, smooth, and the perfect balance of espresso and sweetness. Everything from start to finish was amazing. You can really feel the love and creativity behind this place. 10/10, can’t wait to go back!

A Surprising Culinary gem with a View! With a name like Elaine's Cocktail Kitchen, we were anticipating a great bar scene but we were pleasantly surprised to discover the wonderful dinner venue they offer. The setting is absolutely beautiful, located right downtown with a fantastic view of the old, iconic water tower, creating the perfect ambiance for a special night out. We started the evening with cocktails while we perused the menu. For an appetizer, we chose the Caviar and Chips, which was a delightful and luxurious start to our meal. For the main course, I ordered the 6 oz Angus beef filet with blue cheese butter. It was an excellent cut of meat and cooked to perfection. The filet was accompanied by delicious crushed marble potatoes and fresh tomato salad, which complemented the rich steak beautifully. My wife had the blackened salmon, served with corn pudding, quinoa, blistered tomatoes, and a vibrant basil pistou. She was equally impressed with her dish. The entire experience was elevated by the 5-star service. Our waitress, Gracie, was wonderful attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel perfectly taken care of all evening. Don't be fooled by the "Cocktail Kitchen" in the name; while the drinks are great, the food is the true star. We highly recommend Elaine's for an outstanding dinner experience. We will definitely be back!

Elaine’s Cocktail Kitchen is an absolute gem in the heart of Frisco! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a stunning, stylish venue that sets the tone for an unforgettable night. The food is exceptional and the drinks are next level. Chris behind the bar is a true master. His mixology skills, warm personality, and attention to detail make every cocktail an experience. This new spot on Main Street is well worth the trip, and it’s quickly becoming a go-to destination in Frisco for great food, amazing cocktails, and an unbeatable atmosphere.

We had a fantastic first experience at this new downtown Frisco restaurant. We tried the cocktails, a mocktail, a couple of the shareables, the kale & quinoa salad, the French onion sandwich, and the Brie & apple sandwich. Everything was delicious! Please go support this local gem.

Great new restaurant in downtown Frisco. The owner met us at the door. Wonderful wine list and cocktails. We had the Warm Marin French Petit Cream at Cole's suggestion and it was delicious. Can't wait to try many things from their menu.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Elaine’s both times I’ve been there. The atmosphere is contemporary, yet feels warm and welcoming, just like visiting a friend’s home. The food is unique and delicious, as are the creative drinks. The service and presentation are top notch. This is Frisco’s best new restaurant gem!

We enjoyed the old fashioned cocktail and the Ashes and Agave cocktail- ok maybe a couple of them. They were delicious! We also had the smoked salmon entree and the short rib entree (off menu). Excellent. The place has casual elegance and is perfect for a date night. We highly recommend.
