Excellent fine dining value - great mix of tastes and texture – The 3-course and 5-course were excellent. Wide variety of food - ahi sashimi was very tasty and fresh. Followed by Lobster with fava beans. Poussin on pudding offered a nice mix of textures. Lamb with very tasty corn. Good desert - toasted meringue with ice cream and strawberries. Things that stand out are the presentation, texture of the food, juxtaposition of flavors, and believe or not - good value for the quality and ambiance. Take your time to enjoy the foo... read more
Editorial Review – Upscale Silicon Valley restaurant serves New American fare, emphasizing French and California influences.
Tasting Menus – Tasting menus are good both 3course and 5course. but the thing that bothered me was that the salmon on the 3 course i had smelled very very fishy. i had a bad idea about finishing it, but the rest of the courses are good. Prices are good
User review by leedragon – i went Friday night, the food is excellent except for the salad. by the time i recieved my spinach salad, it was a bit soggy. it was a mid course salad and i guess they put it up early since it had to come with my friend's scallops. my recomendation would be to order just an entree and dessert instead of salads.
The Perfect Steak – I love steak. 231's steak is flawless, I can literally cut it with my fork. The medium rare is cooked perfectly and served hot. Sdd a glass of merlot and we're in business. I come to 231 Ellsworth famished, order the appetizer, main course, and dessert, and I leave completely satisfied. (P.S. Between me and the chocolate fondant dessert, my girlfriend will choose the fondant everytime.)
All Around Excellence – 231 Ellsworth is an excellent choice whether you are dining with just one other, or hosting a large party of 25. I have taken numerous friends, associates, and clients to 231 Ellsworth and never been dissapointed. The food is always creatively and preferectly prepared. The menu changes with the season and there is always something new and interesting to try. A great place to dine.
User review by artwkrp – Striaght forward great menu and wine. Richard does an excellent job with the staff and wines. Plenty of room at each table and a private room as well! I can't say enough good things about one of my favorite restaurants, so I'll stop here. You should stop by and check it all out
Exceptional! Absolutely fabulous – You simply can't go wrong. The wine list is amazing, the service is incredible, and the food is simply fantastic! Absolutely perfect for a romantic evening or closing a big business deal.
Must try the 5-course tasting menu – My husband & I ordered an appetizer plus one order of the 5-course tasting menu (we skipped the wine) and *loved* it. There was plenty of food for the two of us, we're glad we didn't order a main course. I don't think I've ever tasted those dishes anywhere else before - it's great fusion food. My only complaint is that it's pricey - so I recommend it for special occasions.
