We went here for dinner. This place is purely indoors and very nice. The waiters were very attentive and constantly filling waters and checking in. We got an assortment of appetizers, such as the BLT sliders, scallop seviche, Tuna nachos, deep fried avocado, and empanadas. We shared them all around. the portions were a bit smaller for sharing, but we made it work. Then for dinner we got a variety of the entres. 5 of us got the burger, and everyone deeply enjoyed it.

First time visiting Eli's although we've been to block Island before and walked by it several times. Came in early June when less busy and got seated right away around 630pm. My wife and I shared the mussels appetizer, the arugula salad, and the halibut. Everything was really great, and plan to come back to Elli's next year. Highly recommend - one of our new favorites on block Island for dinner.

Tiny gem with limited hours and limited menu. The food is top notch, prepared and seasoned well. Everyone in our party enjoyed a different entree and was delighted with their dish. Our server was very helpful and attentive. By far, our favorite meal on the island over the weekend. Definitely worth it!

This review is for the service staff: Came in with my mom for dinner and was told by the wait staff there would be a wait which was no problem until two people who came in without reservations after us were sat. Would not give my money to a place that lacks professionalism.

The food just seemed day old, pulled from the fridge and heated just before service type of feel and flavor. Under seasoned, over priced, and sort of rude staff…hostess in particular. Was toward the end of season so maybe they stop caring… The barn at spring house, and winfields had a way better meal and much friendlier staff!

Tuna Nachos! If you ever find yourself in this adorable restaurant on this beautiful island, try the tuna nachos. The wife and I prefer to sit at the small, corner bar. This amazing spot doesn’t take reservations. They open at 6pm and it fills quickly even in the off-season. The food is cooked with love and the service is great. Even the art on the walls is incredible. I look forward to every time I’m fortunate enough to have a meal in this Block Island gem.

We have been given this dinner recommendation many times and due to the fact that we like to eat outside usually while in BI we never have tried it. Until tonight! It was a rainy windy night in Sept and we decided to try it….and we were blown away! The beef poutine appie and arugula and goat cheese salad were amazing! So fresh and flavorful. The scallops were so perfectly prepared I almost did not want to touch them! My husband had the chicken and it was like a small thanksgiving dinner in my mouth! Everything was seasoned perfectly and prepared without missing a beat! And the pineapple panna cotta was the most refreshing dessert to complete the meal! We will definitely return!! Thank you!!!

What's not to love about Eli's on Block Island. Service and atmosphere is top notch and the food is unique and flavorful! Perfect place for a quiet meal that allows for conversation while enjoying some incredible food. Perfect place to meet the parents or bring a date and enjoy a nice selection of wine.

If your desire is to depart with as much of your money as possible for nothing, then step right in. Little to celebrate as the wait staff cannot wait to have you leave - it felt as if they wanted you to drop a $100 and just walk out. Then we move on to the food - over-seasoned does not do an adequate job to describe it. Inedible does a better job. Not sure who is handling the kitchen. Wine list is actually ok. So to sum up - over-spiced, over-seasoned, and I was oversold to walk in there. Avoid.

Very bad experience, we queued at the opening at 6 p.m. and our turn arrived, the restaurant already seemed full.... Not a hello, the waitresses walked past us 2-3 times without saying anything and acting as if we weren't there! We stayed waiting for 5 minutes, they all stuck their heads and gave a fake smile when they arrived at the tables, in short we left and were very happy not to have had a seat.

We have been enjoying meals here for years and we’ve never been disappointed. Tuna nachos were Invented here and they’re delicious! Perfect amount of jalapeños to spice it up. Any of their fish, typically the Block Island swordfish, are excellent. This Visit I tried the Impossible vegan burger over the arugula salad with feta and it was amazing. Never would have thought I was eating a vegan burger, it tasted exactly like the real thing and actually better. Our waitress recommended it and was always friendly with a laugh as we reminisce over the number of years we’ve known her. Do add Eli’s to your list when on Block just skip the crab risotto surf & turf, not one of their best.

This place is really odd. The waitress was wonderful. The owner / host was twitchy and didn’t really want to seat us in a half full restaurant. Trying to save tables for groups of 4 I think. They keep the water full at all times! After that it was all bad. Tonic was flat in my drink. Entree was absolutely tasteless. All of it. What can I say… the food is bad and the manager makes you uncomfortable. Go literally anywhere else. (Traducido por Google) Este lugar es realmente extraño. La camarera fue maravillosa. El propietario / anfitrión estaba nervioso y realmente no quería sentarnos en un restaurante medio lleno. Intentando guardar mesas para grupos de 4, creo. ¡Mantienen el agua llena en todo momento!

With only eleven tables sometimes is difficult to get in; but it was our last evening on BI and we decided to give it a try. We got there early and got a table for two by the front window. Cocktails were spot on and enjoyed while we reviewed the menu. Becky, our waitress, was very knowledgeable of any question we had about the menu items. We settled on the Surf “n” Turf (Sirloin Steak and Scallops) and Seared Tuna Steak. All the food items were cooked perfectly, making it a perfect evening. We will patronize Eli’s the next time we are on Block Island even if we have to get there early and wait for a table.

It doesn't have a view of the water, but Eli's does serve food a cut above most of the volume-heavy places on Block Island. The appetizers and entrees are created with care, and full of delicious flavors. We shared the shrimp sopes to start and it was great. I had a roasted cod in curry sauce that nit all the right notes. My wife had a salmon that she liked but did not love.

Waited around the corner. After and hour twenty I went back to check status and they “ran out of food” but we’re too busy to call anyone. Great food. Terrible customer service. Ruined our night.

One of my favorite dining experiences on the island and otherwise! We were so happy with our meal that we bought the chef a drink. She should be celebrated!!! In the context of the island, I didn’t realize how much the other places we have dined fell short. The staff at Eli’s treated us like we were old friends; Not a single smile felt forced. They care about the little things: the bathroom feels like you’re entering a massage parlor for dogs (anyone who has been there understands why), the sound absorbing boards on the ceiling, even the host giving prospective guests very truthful answers to wait times and suggestions on where they can grab a drink nearby in the meantime. All of this the parsley on top of the real dish: the menu! This chef knows what she is doing. My partner is a chef, and here is what she had to say about it: she definitely studied somewhere, as the flavors imply she really cares about the experience and KNOWS what she is doing! They have carefully curated the menu around ingredients that are seasonal and can be used in a variety of ways. I would approximate 20 or less items across the entire menus, each prepared complimentary to the subject of the dish, whether it be animal protein or cauliflower. I am vegetarian, and I chose to dine here because the separate veg menu was actually interesting! Not just a beyond burger or salad; whoever designed this menu clearly likes to eat vegetables! I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and couldn’t believe what I was tasting. The dish was all types of vegetables on a bed of rice fettuccine, sitting in a sauce that I believe is garlic-based but not in an overpowering way. My partner commented “that’s the most I’ve seen you eat this entire trip” to which I replied “I don’t want to stop eating this!” I have never dined at a restaurant targeted for meat-eaters and thought the one vegetarian dish was on the same level as the “Entrees” section of a menu. My partner ordered steak, and we both had the same experience— what a feat! I think everyone should dine here, but I urge the groups who are a mixed bag of veg, gluten-free, and meat eaters to try Eli’s because they have delicious accommodations for everyone! (Traducido por Google) ¡Una de mis experiencias gastronómicas favoritas en la isla y de otra manera! Estábamos tan contentos con nuestra comida que le compramos una bebida al chef. Ella debe ser celebrada!!! En el contexto de la isla, no me di cuenta de cuánto se quedaron cortos los otros lugares en los que hemos cenado. El personal de Eli nos trató como si fuéramos viejos amigos; Ni una sola sonrisa se sintió forzada. Se preocupan por las pequeñas cosas: el baño se siente como si estuvieras entrando en un salón de masajes para perros (cualquiera que haya estado allí entiende por qué), las tablas absorbentes de sonido en el techo, incluso el anfitrión dando respuestas muy veraces a los posibles huéspedes sobre los tiempos de espera. y sugerencias sobre dónde pueden tomar una copa cerca mientras tanto. Todo esto el perejil encima del verdadero plato: ¡el menú! Este chef sabe lo que está haciendo. Mi pareja es chef, y esto es lo que dijo al respecto: ¡definitivamente estudió en algún lugar, ya que los sabores implican que realmente le importa la experiencia y SABE lo que está haciendo! Han curado cuidadosamente el menú en torno a ingredientes que son de temporada y se pueden usar de varias maneras. Me aproximaría a 20 o menos elementos en todos los menús, cada uno preparado de forma complementaria al tema del plato, ya sea proteína animal o coliflor. Soy vegetariano, y elegí cenar aquí porque el menú de verduras separado era realmente interesante. No solo una hamburguesa o ensalada más allá; ¡Quien haya diseñado este menú claramente le gusta comer vegetales! Pedí la coliflor asada y no podía creer lo que estaba probando. El plato consistía en todo tipo de verduras sobre una cama de fettuccine de arroz, sentados en una salsa que creo que tiene una base de ajo, pero no de una manera abrumadora. Mi pareja me comentó “eso es lo máximo que te he visto comer en todo este viaje” a lo que yo respondí “¡No quiero dejar de comer esto!”. Nunca cené en un restaurante dirigido a carnívoros y pensé que el único plato vegetariano estaba al mismo nivel que la sección "Platos principales" de un menú. Mi compañero pidió un bistec y ambos tuvimos la misma experiencia, ¡qué hazaña! Creo que todos deberían cenar aquí, pero insto a los grupos que son una mezcla de vegetarianos, sin gluten y carnívoros a probar Eli's porque tienen deliciosos alojamientos para todos.

Tried Eli's off-season and was more than satisfied. Cocktails were strong and dinner was reasonably good but the descriptions don't really give you a good idea of what you're going to get. Recommended but only if you are willing to be open minded. I would definitely return and recommend to others as long as you inquire how things are prepared in more detail. Quality is very good and the dishes are creative, but not your same old same old recipes. Good for some and surprising for others.

All the food that we had was fresh, just as if were picked and caught that day. I’m not a big fan of jumbo shrimp. But the chef here is spectacular at what she does! Everything is full of flavor, each bit is just as scrumptious as the first. We had desert as well. I’m speechless. Fresh homemade ice cream beyond what you could think it would taste like.

Had a memorable meal at Eli's and would return in a heartbeat. The menu isn't long, but it's innovative and the food is delicious. Plenty of vegetarian possibilities which was a big plus for us. Decent wine offerings. Cozy atmosphere. One local resident told us that it's too cozy for her to have an intimate conversation with her boyfriend, but we found the noise level to be pretty low. Eli's would do well in an urban setting, but is a real gem in the small pond of BI. Highly recommend. NOTE: The place doesn't take reservations, so be there when it opens or be prepared to come back around 8pm for the second sitting. The place is very popular.

There did seem to be a group of regulars there. That's fine, there are lots of other places to go and I won't be back to this one.

Ate here two nights in a row. Great food (tuna was particularly good) and service. Definitely our favorite restaurant for dinner on Block. It’s worth the wait!

I love Eli's! It's small but quaint and the food is usually delicious. The pasta portions are huge and I usually end up bringing some home with me. I feel like it's a romantic restaurant as well:)

Eli's is a jewel of Block Island . The food is amazing as the chef pays great attention to detail. You cannot make reservations and there is a line at the door before it opens but so worth it. The staff have been there for...

Absolutely great meal on the weekend of July 13. All four of us had the "best scallops, striped bass, swordfish, etc" that we have ever had, which includes fabulous restaurants and chefs in many places. The chef is young and enthusiastic and skilled -- a graduate of the Culinary Institute of New England in Montpelier, VT. She has a special skill of identifying new seasoning and pairing combinations. The value embedded in that level quality at BI prices is not to be missed. You can try it now, or wait and pay a lot more when she gets her first star. (Traducido por Google) Comida absolutamente genial el fin de semana del 13 de julio. Los cuatro tuvimos las "mejores vieiras, lubina rayada, pez espada, etc." que hemos tenido, que incluye fabulosos restaurantes y chefs en muchos lugares. El chef es joven, entusiasta y hábil, graduado del Instituto Culinario de Nueva Inglaterra en Montpelier, VT. Tiene una habilidad especial para identificar nuevas combinaciones de condimentos y maridajes. No se puede perder el valor incrustado en ese nivel de calidad a precios de BI. Puedes probarlo ahora o esperar y pagar mucho más cuando obtenga su primera estrella.

Add another "staple" to BI! The food is amazing, no matter what you order. And the service is spot on. I'm a pretty-picky eater, and I'm not a big fan of fish, that being said I'm happy to say that the Tuna was well-made, as well as the Salmon. Thanks again, guys! (Traducido por Google) ¡Agregue otro "elemento básico" a BI! La comida es increíble, no importa lo que pidas. Y el servicio es perfecto. Soy bastante quisquilloso con la comida, y no soy un gran fanático del pescado, dicho esto, estoy feliz de decir que el atún estaba bien hecho, así como el salmón. ¡Gracias de nuevo, chicos!

The food at Eli's is absolutely wonderful and service is awesome. The only drawback is that they do not take reservations. In the off season, this is not a huge problem, but "in season" the line for a table can be very long.

Had the special crispy skin chicken tonight, which was so moist and tender that I thought was shipped straight from a Paris butcher. Superb! The delicate flavors ended in a robust finish that lingered on the palate. Perfect balance. Deft touch in the kitchen. Bravo! (Traducido por Google) Tenía el pollo especial con piel crujiente esta noche, que estaba tan húmedo y tierno que pensé que lo habían enviado directamente de un carnicero de París. ¡Magnífico!
