I'm writing to tell the world how great my first meal at Elaine's was. My girlfriend and I were greeted warmly and taken to a lovely table which was elevated slightly, and in an alcove next to window looking out onto Franklin St. I was thrilled to see that my favorite ingredient, bacon, had found a place on the drink menu, so i just had to order a bacon bloody mary. It was superb. The wine list was amazingly ecclectic and fairly priced to boot, so we settled on a lovely bottle of burgundy and began our meal. My girlfriend is very inquisitive, and had lots of questions for the waitress, who answered each one with confidence, and helped us select some terrific dishes. I started with a foie gras BLT, which blew me away. A tiny little southern treat with a hunk of seared foie gras in the middle. She ordered the truffled cauliflower soup, which was nearly the equal of my BLT.
Pros: valet parking, online reservations, great service, fantastic food
