The food here is really good. The salad nicoise and ceviche were good sized portions and quite good. The short rib bourguignon was an interesting fusion of French boeuf bourguignon and Vietnamese bò kho. It was super tender and the fries were nice and crispy. The garlic noodles were tasty, though if you have small kids the flavor may be a bit too garlicky. The ambience was a bit strange because the place was large but not as bustling as you would expect on a Friday night. The tables are also a little high compared to the seat height, which made it difficult for the kids to eat. Overall, a nice meal.

Very casual service, Roni was pleasant and chill, made great recommendations and we enjoyed dinner very much. Not only was the food tasty, but the dining room was spacious and tables weren’t too close to each other giving us a nice relaxing space to chat over a meal. We had really loved when E&O was here back in the day, and it’s wonderful knowing this place is still bringing an Asian vibe cuisine now as Elyse. I ordered the short rib and it was very hearty portion. My brother got the filet dish and we both had some togo. Lots of flavors to enjoy….and thx again to Roni for being so chill and positive.

This is my favourite french restauarant in the bay area! Amazing food, service and environment. I really like the braised short ribs bourguignon and mushroom tartelette.

We went here for our anniversary dinner for the first time. They had a flower centerpiece and champagne ready for us. The atmosphere was very inviting and intimate. The service was excellent. The staff makes you feel special and welcomed. The appetizers, entree and dessert were all very tasty. (Sea Bass and short ribs) We would come back here.

I had high hopes for Elyse, but our experience left much to be desired. Despite being seated before two other parties, we noticed both received their food ahead of us. As a result, my son’s Wagyu arrived overcooked. I hesitate to suggest bias, but as minorities, it was disheartening to see that the table served ahead of us was not. Service was also inconsistent. Our server didn’t write down our order, which led to a billing error—we were charged for a more expensive Chardonnay than the one I ordered. Additionally, a simple request for salt and pepper was never fulfilled. I chose not to escalate these issues at the time, as it seemed the restaurant was understaffed, with one person managing the entire front of house. That said, aside from the overcooked Wagyu, our entrees were absolutely delicious, and the kitchen clearly has talent. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and considers improving staffing levels and training. Elyse has real potential, but the service must rise to meet the quality of the food.
