BY FAR MY BEST MEAL IN TUCSON! – I just spent a week long vacation between Phoenix and Tucson with my wife and kids. I like Southwestern annd Mexican food, but by the end of my trip was yearning for something more continental. Enter Elle, which was recommended to me by a business associate in NY who travels to Tucson often. I must say that I was skeptical, especially after reading the review here, but the meal and the value were incredible. We started by sharing several appetizers, including the antipasto plate, which is cho... read more

ELLE – The decor was beautiful. The bartender Kim was a delite. However, when I asked for a typical drink, a Bacardi and Diet Coke, they didn't have any Bacardi. So, they substituted a top shelf Clear Rum. I ordered the pate' it was tasty but very very dry. I also ordered the clamari that was good, not great but good. The only thing enjoyable was the Paetta.That was delicious. When I received my check I was annoyed to find out that they had charged me $9.75 per drink. If I had asked for the top shelf rum I would not have bee... read more

I do not complian I never return......... – Saw this menu online. My wife and I both really wanted to like this restaurant. Unfortunately after we arrived it took twenty minutes to even get drinks. We than ordered appitizer's which we were told were half price before 6:30. We did order before 6:30 and were still charged full price. Almost half of the mussel's were not opened. I ordered the ribs which were very tough. At one point I had to go to the rest room to get rid of the meat. My wife ordered some wine from the list. Th... read more

Not one thing was satisfactory... – We made a reservation for two. The hostess sat us at a table for four, next to a table for two. She did not clear the extra settings. You expect the "wine country" sort of decor. No, we were in any restaurant in Tucson with a Native American rug and bad modern paintings hanging on the walls. No one greeted our table and we had to wait seven minutes for JUST the water from the busser, whom I had to ask if we even HAD a waiter. Once he finally came over several minutes later, he didn't say s... read more

New ownership – Elle has changed hands, and this time the owner knows what he is doing. Everything about this restaurant has improved, not the least of which is the speed of lunch, which used to be a problem, but no more.

Come to Elle to unleash the wine lover inside you. – The Scene: The food at Elle is nothing to sniff at, but the extensive American wine list (30 selections available by the glass) is the primary lure of this restaurant. Settled into Tucson's very first and most architecturally inviting shopping center, the window seats and patio gain atmosphere from the old, brick Josias Joeseler building. Elle's wines are regionally specialized, but the cuisine ranges further afield, including French, Italian, and Northern Californian trad... read more

Don't Go – Four of us visited Elle last night. It was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The food was uneatable. We had Risotto and fettichini. No one ate more than a fourth of there plale. Our waiter was ok, but another waiter who brought us some extra bread was very rude, propably not on purpose, just very unprofessonal. The bread was excellent and the coffee was good, but the food ruined our whole night. I wouldn't recommend Elle to anyone.
