Shivani Patel: Really lovely and attentive staff, free pretzels and dip and awesome pale ale on draft. Wins all round!

Andie Huber: Everything I had here was great - the crab dip, kettle corn, sweet potato pasta, and the Mac and cheese!

LivingSocial: Go for the Taste of Maine with a Sarsaparilla soda. Don't forget to put Sriracha in your cocktail sauce. If you want to eat like a king, finish your meal with one of their "baby blue pies". Perfect!

KC C.: The puffed pita is amazing. Go for the trio of dips or try them all!! The tzatziki was excellent.
John: One of the only places where I consider the bread and accompanying "dip" a decadent delight...and that's not even touching on the fantastic tapas plates! Service is spotty though.
Caitlyn Brown: Come here with a group and let the waiter order for you! Everything dish is spectacular but the toum is life changing. Dip your puffed pita in it!

Laurenellen McCann: Elizabeth's might be $$$, but the food is creative, the presentation is classy but unpretentious, and the kale chips are to die for. Save up and give this place a try. Absolutely worth it.
Grace Markarian: Get. Wine. Pairing. OMG. It's already an amazing experience with the crazy creative raw menu. Add the expert pairing from Sommelier Phil and you are transported to a whole other level of fine dining.
DailyCandy: "Because vegans have birthdays and anniversaries too, this raw restaurant in a tony townhouse (an offshoot of Elizabeth Petty’s catering company) comes alive once a week for a prix fixe feast."
