    Drinks were just OK. But plenty of wine options by the bottle or the glass. Redfish Veracruz entree was very good. The filet entree had an amazing green chili sauce but the filet was rather tough. Service was friendly & efficient.

    We’ve now been to Elvira’s twice The food is consistently good- the service is also good. The pricing is high- actually too high. We ate outside- basically you are steps from the street. The pricing is consistent with a restaurant with a beautiful view in a fabulous location Also the reservation policy is heavy handed…you are basically threatened that if you don’t show, they will charge you Not sure we will go back

    Delicious appetizers. Lots of upscale ambiance. Unique flavorful offerings. Loved the guacamole and the shrimp quesadilla. Shrimp tacos were too skimpy. Overall fun evening!
