Elsa's has always been my go-to for a reservation free date night that's delicious and fun. Put your name in with the host, and go grab a drink at Taylors while you wait for a table.
When I arrived last night, the restaurant was empty, the chandeliers were gone, and the overall decor was gutted. There was no wait, I was promptly seated, and I realized the menu was completely different.
Martinis aren't listed on the menu but the same drinks still exist if you order them. We were able to order the classic Elsas Lemon Drop. Wings are gone, the bigger Mac is gone, the civiche is gone, and they only have 3 main dishes (2 burgers and a schnitzel). Appetizers were listed on the menu that they did not have in the kitchen and they also increased the automatic gratuity to 20% over 18%.
I love Elsa's and I'll give them another chance, but this rebrand is very confusing and is obviously not working well. I'm just going to say it: Elsa's is trying to rebrand their restaurant for White People. The demographic of people in the restaurant is completely different now and the soul was literally sucked out of the place. Unfortunately this blatant racism may have scarred this business beyond repair because many customers will not be as forgiving as me and never return.
Truthfully, Elsa's should get on top of this and apologize to the community. People aren't stupid, they know what you're doing.
