There is no such thing as a bad day at Elvie’s. This handsome restaurant runs with all the class, ease, and heart of a bistro. You could drop in for a morning pastry, savor a cheery lunch, or stop by the marble bar for a snack of duck fat French fries, a few oysters, and a round of cocktails. Dinner is a more upscale affair. Start with a stack of superb little gems dressed in a smoked oyster dressing. Everyone orders the redfish almondine — and rightly so. The trifecta of almonds, brown butter, and capers works wonders. A light citrus soufflé is a quiet finale or swing for the fences with a chocolate brownie crowned with a boulder of vanilla ice cream and set in a pool of salted caramel. It’s indulgent, fun, and irresistible.
