Elegance at 148 on Elles Restaurant

Dining at Elegance on Ellis really is such an experience! The food is absolutely delicious and impeccably presented, the place has an elegant and cozy atmosphere and Sonja the waitress is absolutely lovely. A definite gem and very highly recommended.

Unassuming exterior hides a gem inside and weren't not just referring to Sonja (a wonderful waitress), this old charm building hosted a chef who knows how to cook! We enjoyed the oysters, blue cod and finished with a dessert. All this enjoyment was topped with Sonya's delightful hard working, smiling presence. If we were locals, we would dine here weekly!

Amazing service. I didn't catch her name but the waitress with the infectious smile. She works so hard and deserves a pay raise. Not to mention the chefs!! They're incredible. I have very specific dietary restrictions and they perfectly catered to my needs without hesitation. It's always anxiety inducing for me to go to new restaurants because of said restrictions and general social anxieties but all these employees perfectly worked to make all of us feel welcome, comfortable and fed. Definitely would go again.

Best oysters I have ever tasted. The fried ones need to be tried even if you don't think you like oysters. Beautiful service, lovely atmosphere. Sonja the waitress was super welcoming and friendly. Some of the dishes seemed a little retro which is not really my taste. But overall I enjoyed it.

An absolutely amazing dining experience. Can not rate them highly enough. We were greeted by the chef. Started with a cocktail each. AMAZING, SO TASTY! Ordered our meals, given great a recommendation of accompanying wines. SUPERB! The fresh produce was from their private garden. The meals were all prepared, cooked and presented to perfection. Finished with a Dessert wine, and a coffee. A perfect time spaced between each course. Thank you for making us feel so special on our NZ honeymoon.

Here tonite (22/03/21) for a meal for my wife's birthday. Definitely not disappointed. Many thanks to the pleasant lady serving the tables and also to the chef. The beef fillet I had and the lamb rack my wife had were both cooked exactly as they should have been and how we requested - impeccable. Lots of flavors in the food, good wine, good atmosphere and good company. I would rate Elegance highly and recommend it by all means. Well done. Would not hesitate to return.

Invercargill's best kept fine dining secret. 5 starts are not enough to express my delight with the food, service, and atmosphere. This place consistently delivers good food, great service, and a nice, quiet atmosphere.

Great food and our server was amazing. How she managed a table of nine without writing anything down is beyond me. Yes the decor leads a lot to be desired but the food makes up for it.
